Hi there. As you mentioned, this was done to speed up matchmaking. I can certainly understand how it's frustrating to be matched up with teams that have more humans. The best I can advise is to allow drop-in players so that teams are more even. Otherwise, we'll have to wait and see if match team size returns in the future.
It's at the point now where you pretty much have to contract some rando out to play for your team because the AI is so bad but again, that's just a band-aid to bypass fixing the main problem.
Anyhoo, constantly seeing a team full of Jean Spectre's/more or less humans than you have/yellow and red bars, or the same exploiter/griefer teams/etc., and forcing you to back out and waste even more time is infinitely more frustrating. Just add the option back, it shouldn't be that hard.
I could be wrong but don't think we've ever seen an option be added to the next year's title when given the "we'll just have to see" response.
