Please Stop Matching Solo Players against Full Squads
I would like to share some feedback on the state of matchmaking, especially against premade squads.
As a solo player, the thing that needs some proper fixing is the way the game assigns new players to match up against premade level 20+ teams.
Some info
- I was solo queuing in all these examples.
- I am guessing Amsterdam servers
- Matchmaking was done on 'normal times'. Like 17:00 to 22:00 CEST
Example 1.
In this match, I was assigned two random beginner players (with no attachments whatsoever) to fight a premade team of level 30+.
Example 2.
Directly after that match (which lasted like 1 min), the game thought it was a good idea to match the exact same players against each other again.
Which resulted in 1 of my teammates leaving the game.
This is how the match went:
Example 3.
I was matched with 2 low-level beginners in my squads, to fight a premade level 27+ squad. One of my teammates immediately left the game (this is how we started).
This is how that match ended. My teammate was literally being spawn farmed.
I can understand that if there are not many players to match up against, it may be necessary to let a premade team fight solo players. But on these times, I can hardly believe that there are no other players and I get matched up against the exact same players with the exact same team.
Other matchmaking issues:
- Finding a match can take several minutes.
- Finding a preseason ranked match can take 5 min or more (or never find one).
- Even if players leave at the start of a game, there is no way of getting a teammate back.
- There is no quit button on the PC version
