Something is wrong with the New Match Making

PostThu Mar 27, 2014 10:23 am

Last night I waited half an hour (400AP) before giving up. I talked to at least five other people who said the same thing on the chat (that they just couldn't find a game).

This morning I'm twenty minutes in (400AP) and talking to newbies on the chat who have been waiting just as long for a 250AP game. I am having to reassure them that the game is fun, but they just say, "it's not fun if I can't play it." It's to the point where I have to suggest just playing Training so they can at least play.

I pop in for games and don't just sit down for hours. I might have to start cutting back the amount I play if I have to wait this long before I can ever even get a game. While typing this, I got to a half an hour of waiting. So that combines to an hour of waiting with the new patch, and not a single game played. I don't mean to sound mean, but I don't play games to just waste time doing nothing. Quickness of games should be a priority over everything else.

You said on the Patch thread that something isn't wrong, but if this is right, I think the Match Making Algorithm should be re-looked at.

Edit: In the chat, people are making friends to set up Friendly games because no one can get a match. Something is not right.

Edit2: 40 minutes of waiting is too much (over an hour combined with last night). That's it for me. I will keep an eye out for you guys saying something has been fixed, but until then, I can't waste my time like this.

It could be servers, or MM itself. I did get 2 matches as per normal after the patch, then nothing like everyone else is saying. Later I got one game with barely playable lag which lost connection just near the end of the match. On a more positive note: that game was not against a Golem.

Maybe this is the Golem solution, just don't let anyone play - at all. Then we won't have to face the Golem.
