Problem
Many matchmaking systems in online games are either random or focused purely on MMR/rank. This often leads to mismatched playstyles, toxic experiences, or simply not clicking with your partner. There is a gap for a service that helps players find people, not just stats.
Key Pain Points Identified were:
1. No reliable way to find consistent Team Members
2. Lack of filtering for communication preferences (mic/no mic, casual/competitive)
3. Existing tools feel clunky or outdated
