I think the program works well for 1v1 where this algorithm finds more success but waiting for high level opponents in team games almost never happens. I find myself waiting almost 10 minutes to play a game and then we get matched up against low level players anyway. The game loses its draw when you spend more time waiting for a game than actual time spent in a game. BRING BACK REASONABLE QUEUE TIMES.

No. Matching high ranking teams vs med/low ranking randoms should never happen, especially not quickly. It's a complete waste of time for everyone involved. At least with the way it is now everyone except the highest ranking players usually get decent games in decent time.

You know whats also a waste of time? Waiting 10 minutes to avoid a crappy match-up just to get a crappy match-up. I understand the theory, but it doesn't work for team games. Player pool is too small in team games for this to work effectively.

Like I said it usually works fine for anyone but the highest ranking players. If you want a quicker game, play random or with different players.

and I'm not sure why you would even want to keep playing with teams if you're always getting crappy match ups.

Just no, It's ok like that, better wait 5 more min to find decent enemy than matching with pro and noob together for a broken non fun match

I do more custom games with higher teams (edit i did, i dont play much atm) bcs the waiting time is soooo long. But i dont want to play against noobs as well. I dont know if there is a solution

i've been random 3v3ing. i know 3v3 is the least popular mode but the wait times are always 5min+ long 90% of the time.
and as allies, it is quite balanced because no coordination allies = headless chicken. so even after 10 minute (yes, it does happen sometimes), i still get a match that is supposedly a steamroll that is a hard fucking match. SO.... why did i have to wait 10 minute for an even match? i dunno... coordination is the biggest part in balance in 3v3+ and the matchmaking doesn't seem to take that into account.

You're lucky, I tried a 1vs1 Sunday afternoon and waited 5/7 minutes to finally meet someone ranking+600 than me, I waited more than I played against him (I didn't cheese neither did something particularly OP during the game). The game didn't last enough to give us points.

Sounds like you should take the time to get something productive done while you wait. Good book? Some weights? Fold/hang up clothes...

It should get better after todays patch but outside of that its a matter of how many people are searching at the time. The best thing they could do in the future is assign an ELO rating by individual and match from there.

Or they could cut the waiting time which is pushing players away from the game because it takes too long. Hey guys want to play? "nah we just spend all our time waiting anyway".
