That's bullshit. Why have 10v13 when you can have 10v10? The "fix" was because LSM didn't want to wait for a match, but now all xenos players are absolutely fucked. It's not a game anymore. It's just LSM farming xenos. It is literally pointless to play without even teams. It breaks everything about the game. Boo hoo, LSM will have to wait another 15 minutes to get a match. Better than never getting a match because all the xenos players quit. Either that, or start making low population factions OP to counteract the number imbalance. It's already happening with orks. Besides a few hours per day, orks are basically a dead faction. There are literally times when there are zero orks playing, because there is no point joining a match just to get farmed. It's only going to get worse until they force even teams.
I don't understand why people would stay in games that frustrate them. I haven't played enough lately to notice any match imbalances, but if I was subject to one I imagine I would just simply leave the match and try to find a new one. Surely bE would notice if every Eldar or Ork match simply never got anywhere because people leave immediately due to insufficient players. There's no way they would miss that.
Off peak hours, every match starts uneven, and most end that way as well. Xenos play in uneven matches because A) We wanna play the game and B) We are hoping that we eventually get enough players in the match to even it out. If you quit the match and join another, that will be uneven as well, so the best move is to stay in the match and hope for the best.
I'll stay through an uneven losing match, especially with an encouraging team. I won't stay when 2-3 players on my team are screeching "noob losers!" .....

Matchmaker is really killing game play. It's so bad I'm off playing War Thunder until MM is sorted out.
B-but....Muh bolter! Bolter bolter bolter uneven teamz fair bolter bolter bolter! Bolter eldar OP bolter bolter! MUH BOLTERRR XENOSSSS
Yea ok this is enough. I'm not satisfied with this patch, it's the first patch I've seen since I've got here and the MM among other issues have persisted long enough to be addressed but still continue to persist. Ork and eldar communities have died almost completely and now it's even effecting chaos. It is time to shelf this and move on. I'll be taking my hard drive space back until there's a game to play. Good luck, ok?
