EA Staff (Retired)@EA_Ataashi/ @EA_Atic - I agree with what @GOD_IV wrote with the exception of turning off MM. I think MM is getting there but still needs a few tweaks. My experience last night was somewhat confusing and disappointing. The next paragraph will explain the sequence of events.
Joined a game of GA on Endor (39 players in lobby) played both matches and by the end had full lobby. The matches were very uneven and were over before the AT-AT was captured. MM took us to Kamino after a short wait. Still full lobby, the matches were even going to the final objective with a win for each side. Good, MM had done it's job. THEN!! MM kicked in again and I found myself in a half empty lobby (9 on one side, 12 on the other) back on Kamino and halfway through a match!! When this match finished, I never got to play the 2nd match because the lobby had emptied. I quit and searched for another game. Ended up back on Endor in a game that had already started with just enough players to continue. Again, after that match the lobby emptied and I had to start over again. Found another match on Deathstar II and for the rest of the night everything went normally - nearly full/full lobbies - win one, lose one games.
My questions are - why did MM pull me out of a full lobby, put me in a just enough lobby and in a game that had already started? Is MM preferring groups over single players? I would have thought that once a lobby was full and matches relatively even, a player would stay in that lobby and go through the normal map rotation. It appears the AI (MM) algorithm is taking over the game.👿
I also would like to ask, I have mentioned many times in other threads but have yet to receive an answer - Why can't I get a game in Hero Starfighters, Strike, Blast, Extraction, Ewok Hunt & Starfighter Assault? Have not been able to get a game in any of these since the ping site issue was fixed with the exception of SA - one game a couple of weeks ago. Tried many times, different times of day/night, different ping sites. Just end up in empty lobbies that never fill. Frustrating when trying to complete daily challenges/milestones etc.☹️
@ggibb65 makes a good point I want to back up - the EOR often sends you back into a map you have recently played and often to the same side. I think a MM when you first go into a server is fine, then after that there should be a team scramble function with a regular map rotation. If you want to be really epic you could have a next map vote system, but lets fix one issue at a time 😉
