A big help with the drop in matchmaking wait times would be to reduce the 'looking for teammates' time, at least when there are 2 or more players on the team in 3on3. No one (with 2+ brain-cells) wants a random Goalie on their team, especially in 3on3 and yet, even after getting a C, W and D, gotta wait for 3 extra/pointless minutes every single search for a goalie that a) damn near never turns up (in EU) and b) absolutely no one, wants. As it is, we're basically wasting 30-90 minutes just waiting for absolutely no reason whatsoever, every night. It's frankly a terribly flawed system and everyone's sick of it.
Isn't it possible there just aren't that many people playing? Its one thing if there were 150K concurrent players like Madden, but this game gets about 15K players online.
That's an extremely high estimate. Half of those are multiple accounts

I just can't beleive this. In most case I'm launching the search with a friend with me and it hardly take more than 30sec to 1min to get 3-4 extra random teammates to join.
So it's reasonable to think there's also another group (probably multiple actually), somewhere, searching for a team in about the same time lapse. This is without taking into consideration any teams ''ready to go'' for a match-up to an opposing team on a waiting list for opponent. Which would greatly (normally) speed up the matchmaking.
There's no way that everytime I'm looking for teammates or an opposing team we're the only one doing so. At any reasonnable or peak hours it shouldnt not take much more than 2-3 minutes from the moment you click ''search'' and get ready for the first faceoff.
I don't know if the online players count is comparable to 23 or if it has drastically went down, but at 10pm est a saturday night, you should be almost instantly connected to an opposing team.
I'm going to look closely tonight and this weekend if anything changed in the wait time.
