The MM is just borked. The game pop us borked. 8 games Friday night 9pmish us central. 3 min ques and was always 5 vs at least 10, one match on Pegasus was 5 csm vs 27 eldar. After that one I quit til Sunday night. Last night on csm sat in que for 8 min, called it a night. Looked at the steam numbers. Under 250. It's really sad how fast this game got mismanaged into not only the ground but a big ass hole in the ground.
Dey could jus' make a king o' da hill map fer smalla' 5v5 games. One point in da middle, each side has a 5 minute tima' er sumfin'. Yer tima' goes down while ye control da point
My favorite part is where the space marines tell you to git gud at the end for not being able to kill them all 1v3. Although in reality I'm only ever fighting LSM 1v5. It's impossible to win when the game itself decrees your team has lost before the game even starts. Also another fun fact about this: since the non-LSM team always has less players, you're more likely to be dumped into a match that's already been lost. Meaning you wait 5 minutes to get a match, only to lose 2 minutes later because LSM capped everything before the enemy team had player counts in the double digits. This is what happens when you buff the most popular race above all the other races. The player population capsizes from all the sheeple running to the Flavor of the Month race, which already had the most players, causing the whole boat to flip and everyone drowns.
Remove auto queue at end of match, i bet a lot of these half teams are due to new games being created from a recently finished map but then half of them drops the queue when they get to the menu. Another idea is to limit respawns when there is an unbalance, just put people in a queue so there can only ever be an equal amount alive as the enemy (with the exception of a fresh drop) with the TTK and ease of kill in this game one shouldn't really have to spend much time in said queue unless your team is totally dominating the other and barely dying.
The new map system should improve the situation, showing the current players and letting us to choose where to fight
