Matchmaking has Improved but Broken Lobby Issue persists

Hi,

First off thanks to the team for at least making some fix to matchmaking queue times, its at least tolerable now with whatever hotfix was put in place this week to expand the search criteria.

However, there is clearly an issue when two groups searching for teammates that all ready have some teammates in their group get combined into one lobby. Frequently, when that happens, there can only be one group leader between the combining groups and when that transfer/handshake of "group leader" happens, users that are members of the groups are getting errors, crashes, and having to dashboard/reload the game.

Not sure if this is specific to Xbox or if our PSN fam is also experiencing this issue? Either way that should be investigated as this is a pretty big quality of life issue when you and your party have to keep re-forming and searching multiple times.

    thank you for sharing Tigidooh, it didnt even occur to me that they're getting priority because they have it set to "yes". You're 100% correct and this is really degrading the playing experience quite substantially, I'm not being dramatic over this, its a simple band-aid fix that is affecting almost everyone. A couple years back they introduced the "Yes/Relaxed" feature in the first place, they should be able to fix this in like 1 development sprint cycle.

    I've sat in queues for over 5 minutes, only to get paired with a European solo dropper that has it set to "yes" and that's unbelievably frustrating because you're waiting to just find a lobby thats going to fall apart with your 4 other North American buddies.
