Why remove match room size option for EASHL…

Removing this feature just doesn’t make sense. I understand you want faster matchups, but players shouldn’t be forced to play against other teams that have more players. In 6s this isn’t THAT big of an issue. It’s 3s where it’s a massive problem. A team of 3 have an unholy advantage against a team of two. The compy cannot compete with players spamming their abilities. So what does this do? Well teams of two back out over, and over, and over … you get the point. They would rather back out 10 times than play a team of three because who wants to play a game where you have a disadvantage the whole game. ESPECIALLY, if compy is at center. Removing this feature adds to the problem. If people want to wait longer to find games. That’s a better alternative to backing out 10 times. To go even further. The teams pretty much play same room size ANYWAYS cuz teams of 2 won’t play teams of three. For the love of the 80 dollars I spent every year on your game. The over 500 dollars I’ve given your company. Please just add it back.

    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.

    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.
