Neat!
FWIW, last night wait times went +3mins and into 5 most times. NOT complaining, just noting. 
Also, it felt matches were fairly even compared to averages a week or more back. That happens from time to time though so who knows. I did get in a match that started full but ended with my team sitting with 5 players only. The other team had way more than 5 players ;) By the end I was wondering why the hell I kept facing entire squads on my own. Odd thing was though, it still wasn't a one-sided match. Sure, it was hard to face 5+ players at once, but even as bad as I am, I was holding my own. My point: it wasn't protostomp mode. We did get them to armor, so I'm not sure why everyone jumped ship.
Life is a funny funny mystery.
+ for the post!

What I'm guessing here is that we're likely seeing people who are quivering at the first sign of resistance and then leave. If this was happening only on the tunnel map, I would understand. But this is happening on every map so it can't be because of bad map design.
It wasn't the map, or really even the opposition---I don't think. With just 5 players we weren't stomped. There was at least one full squad on the other side, but they weren't hardcore by any means. I'm still confused as to why anyone bailed. I think it would have been a fairly even match that we could have won.
But hey, that's just a one-off. Anecdotal at best. Just sharing for what it's worth, if anything :)

Your opponent wasn't stacked. I wonder if there wasn't another explanation for that squad leaving. Not sure what you mean by stacked, but I guess they could've left a merc behind. They do appear to join and leave several times throughout, but then again so do others. Guess that bug getting smashed asap would be very useful now it's causing problems with matchmaking GOD DAMNIT!!!! THIS IS THE NEW SCOTTY BUG!! #stayinformed He keeps putting whole squads into battle involuntarily and immediately kicks them all out again. This can go on endlessly at times. Got kicked nearly 20 times in a row, we didn't leave BY CHOICE. @CCP acknowledge this already! New? Hmmm now you mention it, I did suddenly end up back in my merc quarters as my dropship landed in front of me in one match yesterday. I was not in a squad at the time, so it's happening to all if so. Wonder why it kicks the whole squad though...
I got an internal error last night during the warbarge to map view transition at the start of the match. Back to merc quarters. So. Yeah. I'm keeping an open mind.
Long quote for such a short reply huh?

Linky?
