Match making has been an absolutely terrible experience. I been playing mostly 3s and usually takes me around ~10 mins to finally get into 1 game. I would’ve thought cross play would’ve made this better
- @vncanadian It takes our group of 5 skaters approximately 15min to find a match in dropin or club. Frequently, we are having to "reset" the lobby after several failed matchmaking attempts - unsure if this even does anything.
Match making is the biggest issue plaguing this game right now. When people sit idle for 10-20mins, they lose interest. We have called it an early night countless times now because momentum is lost with such prolonged wait times.
Not only does the system need improvement, but it is at the point where game modes are going to have to be eliminated to hopefully funnel players back into 6s. They have segregated such a small population into too many areas.My experience with club matchmaking has been pleasantly surprising. We run with 3-5 skaters in 6s and are usually matched in under 2 minutes, sometimes quicker, sometimes longer. We play evenings and have guys from east and west playing and never seem to have an issue finding games in club during that time frame.
Drop in on the other hand is a disaster for matchmaking. Bring back otp lobbies.
A lot of teams search with match goalie on so it might benefit yours to find another player - From what I gather, full 6v6 leagues are pretty consistent.
Ones has lost its magic but removing that and possibly Threes Eliminator will most likely just funnel those players back into the more popular 3v3 version of EASHL/Clubs so it won't entirely help the 6v6 crowd
- @TTZ_Dipsy I'm fine with ppl going into 3s.. I don't play it but I empathize with the 3s community and their lack of matchmaking as well.
I agree, Ones and 3s Elim can go. The substitute for 3sE could be a Mashup of the current unranked mode, which j feel is helpful to just play a quick stress free game without any ranking whatsoever. But Ones and Elim are just modes taking away from club, be it 3s or 6s
