@EA_AljoI don't mean to be dramatic here but this is actually the most serious issue this franchise has ever had upon release. People cannot find games and are getting extremely frustrated with how the search queueing works. Something desperately need to be fixed ASAP. Also unless I've missed something, we (the community) don't even know if the team is aware of how bad of an experience this is, let alone if a fix is planned/being discussed.
We are currently investigating the matchmaking reports. As soon as there's some news, I'll provide an update.
Thanks for the update @EA_Aljo . Also, I think its worth passing on to the Dev team that when someone is queuing for a drop in 6v6 search, by DEFAULT everyone's matchmaking settings are defaulted to "Use Best Game Location" = "Yes" instead of "Relaxed". I think this is almost certainly contributing to the problem, as when a lobby gets formed, if the player that gets assigned the "Leader" position has Best Game Location to "Yes" then its going to be harder for that group to find a match.
I suggest among any other fixes that are in the works, that by default "Use Best Game Location" should be set to Relaxed.
