Breaking up of players
Please address the disbanding of server players. After each match the players are broken apart and placed on different servers with bots. So a full server after a match ends up being an empty serve...

I think matchmaking has a lot of competing priorities, and keeping players together is low on the list. In some cases, it would be impossible. Sometimes people search for specific maps and game modes, and they might be with you when they coincide, and split next round when you move on to another map that isn't on the list they searched for. You might have joined a generic random map rotation of all-out-war, but they searched for a specific game mode and one or two specific maps. You join and then split. Just an example. There are also people in different places which next round more perfectly match with anothet lobby that was just thrown together closer to them but further from you. There are also people who just started searching for their first game if the day and others who just finished their last game of the day. When it is all a floating demand and instances of servers popping up everywhere to meet demand and performance expectations, keeping people together is low priority or even anti-productive.
I suggest you search for and join a hosted community experience. Those will keep you together round after round because they aren't using a matchmaking system prioritizing changing demand. If you don't see the experience you want to play, host your own.
We need to start loving portal and giving community creators our attention and time. It's the only thing we got that still has a lot of love and passion in it. We need to overwhelm the bot farms and toxic exploiters with love and attention of the good things and the experiences we want to support.
It's literally every single game, regardless of mode. Shouldn't have to be using portal. I mean to break up the entire lobby from full to a single or a couple of players is nuts, often need to exit the mode and select it again from multiplayer menu in order to get a more populated server, and in that instance it isn't even full. So when you consider the fact that there are multiple servers going simultaneously that equate to a single full server, it goes to show you that the split is unnecessary. Considering that there are hundreds of thousands of players, it can't be difficult to have servers that have better player/bot balance. Even in Oceania there has to be several thousand going at any given time. I mean just reading through all the posts, there are thousands of folk complaining about this over various platforms. If that isn't a clear cut signal to EA/Dice then I don't know what is.
