Karl Berg the former lead engineer said in one of the pod casts
when they tightened up the matchmaker they had more stomps

I guess he never did get a chance to study why that happened but he said
he wanted to

I wonder if things will get better with the switch to 8v8.

8 vs 8. Teams playing as teams, communicating but still with most games being 8-1/8-2/8-3 aka stomps.

I honestly do not expect 8vs8 to solve much except to may be generate more games, 6 drops of 8vs8 instead of 4 drops of 12vs12

Haven't noticed much difference on my end. I usually play between 10pm-9am EST and don't have much trouble finding matches. And the matches I do get aren't as bad as many would make them out to be. There are some stomps both ways but also a lot of close matches as well.

8 vs. 8 is an agenda disguised as a solution.

Why can't they give us a few options instead of forcing 8v8 or 12v12, etc.

Can't they allow: 8v8, 12v12, All Selections.

Also I just realised that when I start raging at MM, I got to start playing less. It is like my circle in MWO across the last 5 years.

The circle goes:
~ Fun few months
~ Followed by building annoyance to game
~ Followed by rage quit
~ Followed by getting back in game after Rage wears off after a few months
~ Followed by Fun few months after I "forget" about the last rage period (of always the same few issues)
~ Repeat (across 5 years)

No other game has given me this much fun. And no other game has given me this much "rage" annoyance then MWO. Would say hate instead of annoyance, except that one is taken by Mass Effect 3's Deus Ex Machina - Star Child.

7 PM to 10 PM GMT+8 is 7 AM to 10 AM EST. Or 4 AM to 7 AM PST. Essentially, during your hours, everyone in the US is either asleep or at work. EU players on the NA servers are more likely to show up, but it's probably still during work hours for a fair number of them as well. Regardless, just observations, there's not much you can do about the hours you play at and the MM has already been shown to be limited in its capabilities.

To be pedantic it's 6 am EST but 7 am EDT.
