Not one game has started with less than 4 or 5 difference today. Know what I think? I think bE disabled fair matchmaker because people were dropping the game for waiting for hours instead of just rolling on the underpopulated sides. Because there have been multiple games that we started 7 or more down, and it was not people dropping from seeing guilds. No the game just decided to launch its 90 to 120 second start window, concequences be dammed. Those first 5 minutes are always crucial, and almost always decide the game. Why should anyone play the side always handicapped?
I made a thread explaining exactly why this happens not long ago: https://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/comprehensive-matchmaking-issues-analysis.62851/ Nathan answered, in what seems to be an explanation on why it isn't happening any time soon. That, or he didn't understood what we want fixed :/
That's not true. As Ork / Eldar you are often outnumbered regardless people leaving because of pre-made teams. This is very annoying in particular in tickets scenarios. In those situations the fight should not start if population is not even.
I don't know, but game was really so close to chaos lose. But i+2 PUGs more than six times sneak capture A spot. If XIII take more than 30 sec to timer, they could win. P.S. My GAfist walked this path with dignity P.S.S. I have more:
