Matchmaking in Hero showdown is pretty awful

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug I still haven't played Hero showdown. I keep getting matched into groups with the message "waiting for one player", and that one player never comes.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Alliecat7803
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug?
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM)
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure. My location should be where there are enough players to match into a new game.
What happens when the bug occurs? Endless waiting for one more player.
What do you expect to see? I'd like to try showdown.
Please select your region North America
AMD or Nvidia Model Number

I'll keep trying, I expect I'll get in sometime, but it seems silly that I haven't been able to play yet.  Especially when so many timed challenges depend on getting into these games.  Matchmaking has also been really bad for other games, too, especially SA.

  • Same thing on PC but there’s also more. I and my friend joined a server, And there was no one joining in the other team for a long time. After that we left and tried rejoining but none of use could. It gave us the error “can’t find servers for you.” Sad and frustrating.
  • On the PC edition I have found it to matchmaking to be terrible for all game modes, I have waited 10 minutes plus for a game to fill up and eventually I have to leave. But Hero Showdown is by far the worst in my experience  

  • I have talked about this in my post they are clearly asking for us to leave this game.

  • And if someone leaves the game midway, you are left hanging in between rounds waiting for another player.  Although it sometimes seems to just end abruptly...maybe both other players left?  It's not really a great mode because of this.  The game concept is interesting, but this lousy matchmaking makes it kind of not worth it for me to wait around for so long for a 5 minute match.  On average, it has been more waiting than playing when I try to play this mode.  Even when you finally have enough players, there is waaaaayyy too much time to pick your hero.  C'mon, if it takes you more than 10 seconds to pick a hero, what's up with that?  And then, if you are the first to die, it's potentially another loooong wait while you wait for your partner to either defeat or be defeated.  No wonder people just leave the match midway.
