I suppose your not counting the time it takes for you to swap factions when you see 80% German and 20% Soviet. By the time you auto-match with random, it doesn't matter. Especially if it matches you with other random auto-matches.

Actually, you're wrong.
In beta, when we could read a particular game file, we could see that the longer you search for a game, the higher the elo spread between you and your opponent will possibly be.
Let's say you are elo 1000.
You start searching for a game as random, automatch will search for a german or soviet opponent between 950 and 1050.
Then 1 minute later, it will search for a german or soviet player between 900 and 1100.
Then 1 minute later, between 850 and 1150.
etc etc.
Now, without a random function, if you search as a 1000 elo german player and don't find a game, but with an other german player searching too with 1070 elo in the automatch pool. After x time you decide to restart the search as a soviet player, you'll have to wait at least 1 minute to be able to be matched with him.
While with a random faction button, you wouldn't have had to wait. You would have met him way sooner, 1 minute after starting your search.

Apparently very hard.

The thing about random faction is also that you may have two completely different rankings as Soviet and Ostheer.
So it could simultaneously look for e.g. ~1000 Elo Ostheer and ~800 Elo Soviet and different amounts of people may be online in both elo areas.
This is also why the amount of people looking for a game can suddenly be very different when switching sides manually.
This means GuruSkippy's example wouldn't be accurate but he is right: It'd be faster and easier for everyone.

Why not? maybe even a ladder that involves everything from 1v1 to 4v4 and both factions, some sort of jack of all trades ladder...
