Idea

You could maybe use String Equality for this, with the Faction name being the string to match

I've Decided to Add more detailed example.

Let's say the game has two factions that the players can play as:

• Aurora
• Resistance
  

Now In a PVP Online Match (Max 10 Players) There will be always 5 Aurora Vs 5 Resistance Players.

Players are to choose their Faction type when creating the matchmaking request and match against other players with different faction.

The Matchmaking Team Configuration on Playfab seems really useful since we can apply Balance and Skill rules, also it does assign player to teams so our game servers have a easier time to parse players team. But the only thing which is crucial to our flow that we are missing is to tell the playfab matchmaker that this Player wishes to Join as this team/faction when matchmaking so match him/her with other people with same faction choice on the same team and against others with the other faction type.

I Understand that creating two "Match Total Rule" for Each faction can match players with preferred faction but that means we can't use the Teams + Teams Rules to balance since it can't guarantee that the players land in the correct team.

The ideal method to implement the matchmaking with preferred Team would be:

E.g:

1. PVP Matchmaking Queue Configured With 2 Teams [Aurora and Resistance]
2. Player A , Creates a Matchmaking Ticket With Preferred Team "Resistance"
3. Player B, Also Creates a Ticket With Preferred Team "Resistance"
   
4. Players C and D , Each Create a Ticket With Preferred Team "Aurora"
5. Completed Matchmaking Teams are as Follow:
   - Team Aurora : Players [A,B]
   - Team Resistance : Players [C,D]

Another example can be seen in the following post:

I believe a feature to select the "Preferred Team" in the matchmaking ticket is what we would need too.
