We are seeing games are fuller, which is something we aimed to achieve. We have plans for tweaks with the goal of reducing the time to Matchmake.
We've got some back-end changes going live this morning in Star Wars Battlefront II which should improve the EOR MM experience. There will be no downtime required for this.
Faster matchmaking will definitely help get the game back to where it was.
Fuller games sounds like a good improvement.
Unfortunately, the core of players' matchmaking expectations, ensuring similarly-skilled players are playing against each other, is simply not working. Most matches are still unevenly matched - as if its not actually matchmaking at all.
One idea I saw someone suggest to make this immediately more amiable for players - make matchmaking optional at the end of round. Instead of forcing the matchmake countdown, require players to press the matchmake button if they want to matchmake into a different lobby. Leave them where they're at otherwise. This seems like a stop-gap that could be implemented very quickly.
