[Why Run]

Not seeing many groups in the solo ques anymore. I personally play solo about 95% of the time. I only have a small group on my friends list and they are in a different Timezone. However, I seem to be noticing that while 2-4 person groups can be dropped into the solo que, there really aren't many? Is it just me?

I ask because, as a solo'er, I kind of enjoyed the challenge of fighting organized teams. I figure my standard, most played weight class (singular) mechs probably have me in a pretty high ELO tier, and I figure to see more groups but since the patch, I am generally in Alpha lance (which says to me, no groups).

Is this just the nature of the new MM? How is the matchmaker for groups? Longer waits?

I get somewhat longer waits in the group queue than the solo queue. Being in alpha lance only means there isn't a 4-man. Could be a 3 or 2-man group there. The 4-man and smaller groups fill out matches in the group queues first, I believe, so there are probably fewer of them in the solo queue now.
