@RayD_O1I find the other issue is that there are always 2/3 lobbys half filled that could be merged to start a game.
Why these lobbys cant be forced filled is beyond me.
Yeah doesn't make any sense to me either.
With the player base shrinking they really need to make it easier for all players to get into matches.
There is nothing worse than endlessly waiting for lobbies to reach the required number of players, only to see players give up in frustration.
Imho we need one player starts, backfilled with AI in all game modes in both AOW and Official Portal Experiences.
I am noticing a big drop off in player numbers compared to even a few weeks ago.
Imho the fact that players are having to sit queueing in lobbies to reach the required minimum players to start, is resulting in players simply giving up all together out of frustration.
I really believe it is time to introduce a single player start (backfilled with AI) to both AOW / Official Portal Experiences so that all remaining players can get into games.

Yeah, got hit by a MM fail the other night, match was filling then people leaving because of the wait. Had to leave and find another server.
Reducing the number to start sounds like it would work.
I strongly believe that something needs to change soon to avoid an even bigger decline in the already rapidly shrinking player base.
