Guess they lied.

[Jman5]

no they didn't.

What if it was a 8 and a 4 man that happened to sync?

[Greenjulius]

They said solo queue won't see 12 mans. There was a brief time when solos were dropped against 12 mans. It was really bad.

Group queue will get them from time to time. Usually it's when the MM can't find another large group to match them against.

No, they never said that, but the odds of seeing a 12 man on the field are slim to begin with.

You're thinking of solos never seeing groups, which is still true. If you want to avoid playing against groups, you gotta drop in the solo ghetto.

My group of 3 vs a 12-man, last week...

That was their position at the time.

lol! I sure hope you're trolling, but considering some of the posts as of late its hard to tell

[Elizander]

More people in group = Higher Elo padding to pull them away from smaller groups. If no one else is around you will fight 12 mans if the MM has waited long enough.

You didn't know? Us 2 man groups only exist as XP/Cbill fodder for big groups.

Not always the case.... Although I cant tell if the lone 3 were part of the other 9 or not.

They did the easiest fix to reduce mismatches (game mode voting) and slightly less than half the playerbase threw a huge conniption fit.

THey said they'd try not to. Sometimes the match maker has to give though.

It is the case enough of the time that my friend and I have reduced our playtime by more than half.

Just stick with the main group, find out what they are doing and support it. You'll have to be a little more aware than normal because it can be difficult to react to what your team is doing around you.

I started a topic on this very thing a few weeks ago. Looks like the issue is not going away.

It's not something that can 'go away,' because big groups don't want to wait 45+ minutes, and be forced to always run precisely 12 players.

Yeah, the solution they tried to get better matchmaking was shot down by a bit less than half the community after less than a day of it being active. Pretty sad.

I really liked the new system too.

Too bad they didnt find a way to poll the whole player base.
