When it start searching for opponents, you know you can cancel it and restart the search if you're still missing a human teammate, right?
I understand that the other team only have 2 skaters sometimes if the room leader doesnt care.....But there's no reason for you to only have 2 skaters if you don't want to though, you can restart the search as many times as you want until you get the human skaters you want. So if you only have 2 skaters, it's on you for not interupting the search when it switched to search for opponents.
When I'm the room captain, I will always restart the search when it switch to search for opponents... Until I get 5 human skaters.
But I'm seeing a LOT of opposing teams with only 3-4 skaters, sometimes just 2....like, why?? I know there's tons of crashing and invalid game session going on right now though, I've experienced quite a bunch of theses crashes and invalid game too. Pretty annoying.
I've always wondered what goes through peoples mind when they have the dressing room lead and leave the search for opponent going on even though there's still 1 or 2 empty spot in the lineup. Why do they even come in 6s Chel if it's to play with bots...
Nonetheless, I agree with you, the search for teammates AND for opponents should be extended by at least a minute each if needed.
