Re: Seriously— where are all these lobbies I am supposed to be stream-rolling

@Axs5626Sxa5001  I'm beginning to think it's either;

A) a regional/time issue.

 B) people are reverse boosting in pubs for easier games.....but that is extremely impractical due to how time intensive it would be as i'm sure you're aware.

C) the matchmaking is indeed tilted.

I'm inclined to think it's the latter, at least on console anyway as I can't speak for pc lobbies. It still doesn't explain your predicament though.

    @MandatoryIDtag A) I have experienced this a lot. I've noticed that when I play early afternoon I have more enjoyable matches than when I play late at night (10 PM+). I think maybe there just aren't enough players on late at night for SBMM to work like it should, and for some reason the devs think that getting a pop in 30 seconds is more important than waiting 2 minutes for a more enjoyable game.

    B) There are just soooo many smurfs, too. And now that smurfing can get you reported, I think many hide their badges. I've also run into a lot of 20,000 kills+ players in pubs (and my K/D is under .50) but I don't know if they're just coming back or how they ended up in my lobby.

    C) Another thing I think is that I'm fairly good at arenas but I suck at BR. So I have a few good games in arenas (4 or 5 kills if with good teammates) and then the game thinks I'm a god or something and puts me in these squads for BR that are like, "no, I'm out. You suck Shark!" "But guys, we haven't even dropped yet ... guys? guys?"

    @LaughingSharko Yeah, the only problem with afternoons is teammates, they literally give me an aneurysm. But at night there are no breaks in lobbies with 3-stacking teams that roll the entire lobby, while I still get matched with teammates who do nothing. If I play late I've started to just jump on NY or Virginia, just to get somewhat balanced lobbies.
