How to help matchmaking times. (Idea)

I heard that matchmaking times are pretty bad for some people. Well some other games solve this with different ways to fill matches.

My favourite is like in Gears 2 to 5 and in PVZ GW2 and PVZ BFN where they fill empty slots with AI (bots) and then when someone joins they just replace one of the bots. Works amazing for those games plus you don’t have to wait in the lobby for forever.

what are your ideas?

  • Would be good to have players counts per mode displayed so you can get an indication of wait time.

    I don't really understand matchmaking in this game. Sometimes it takes ages to allocate a server which implies the game is at max capacity and at others it takes ages searching for players. Is the problem lack of servers, lack of players or a suboptimal matchmaking algorithm?

    I would hate to see bots imo, they have really put me off pvz bfn. Some people like them, but I want to play real players. I would prefer they put more marketing behind it and brought more players in. 

    Ive only played social non ranked modes, and it would help to let social players to vote for rematch rather than disband the lobby at the end of the match. Then you start the next game with maybe only a couple of empty slots to fill. Would also allow fun well matched lobbies to have a good session together rather than just one game.
