Can't join friends' game

We discovered on PS4 that the only way to play with a friend is to leave the game, then form a group, then start a new game.  As friends come and go, this is aggravating to the point where we played one game then quit for a different game where group matchmaking was quick, with very little waiting between games.  Did anyone ask for this?  Really???  Queuing in on a friend was one of the only good features of the matchmaking, because it made it possible to get into a game when the matchmaking is acting up and won't put you into a populated game.  

Not to mention that it took our group of 6 people about 50 tries to get into a game of capital supremacy to try the new map.  Statistically, since there are five maps, the chances of our not getting the new map in 50 tries is about one in 70,000.  So the matchmaking is still broken, whatever you did to it in this update is utterly frustrating.  I am so tired of you guys "fixing" things that nobody wanted changed.  Bossk can't even jump like a normal trooper anymore, and he's supposed to be a versatile lizard man. Did anyone really ask, "would you guys change Bossk so that his jump is so terrible that no one will ever want to play him again?"  I'm pretty sure they didn't, and if they did, I assure you, those are not the people you should be listening to.  

After playing for just one night this week, I thought that the clone trooper giving us all the middle finger on the main menu was EA's way of expressing to the faithful player base just what you thought of us.  

I'm out.
