Since the matchmaking update, I don't think I've had a single match that was a full 16v16. Or one that was reasonably balanced, for that matter - naturally, as a result of there typically being an overwhelming numbers disparity, matches aren't balanced.
What is going on?
This isn't an isolated problem. This is consistently happening, match after match. Why? I've heard that it's because people leave one side, but that isn't the case either - I've had a number of matches that start horrendously imbalanced and finish so. I've even had a match where it added players to the team with more players rather than the one struggling for numbers. If players leaving is really a problem, can't we add some back?
It's not even just the team balancing, really. There seem to be countless problems with the matchmaker. Today one of my squadmates was stuck on an eternal loading screen and the battle told the rest of the squad that he'd 'left', despite the match being nowhere near full and him being on comms with us. Scotty errors happen frequently. It's even taking longer to find matches, despite the glaring issues with the matchmaker.
And if something does go wrong, there's no way to correct it. You can no longer see who's in your squad via the chat menu, and can't look at any players in chat channels once you're in a match. You can't invite people to squad. How are PC teams expected to form under these circumstances? One DC and you're a man down and you can't correct it, even if you have several minutes.
Why are these matches so unbalanced? What is going on?

anyone know how it works? Either players are leaving and not getting replaced OR your mu score is high enough where in order to balance the match the matchmaker is pitting you against more players. To hyper simplify it... Player | Mu A | 5 B | 5 C | 5 D | 5 E | 5 Total: 25 Now for the other team... A | 7 B | 8 C | 5 D | 5 Total: 25 Team 1 and 2's mu score totals are 25, but team 1 has 5 players while team 2 has 4 players. The match is balanced though the teams aren't even.

Even if that's the case, which I doubt, screw mu score and always make sure it's 16 vs 16. I personally almost find this game unplayable some days and have heard a ton of complaints from corp members and other players.
Matchmaking should only put players based on gamemode, not freaking mu score. Or at least restric proto type gear from pubs then it wouldn't be such a stomp |
