I would not care to join a game instantly if it even means that the other team would be better. It just allows for improvement. With the old system -- no system i had a 50 wins / 50 losses. So why do we need this new system.

ELO matching takes awhile, it takes even longer the smaller the sample size or player base gets. Anyone who has played LoL or HoN or DoTA will know this.

Just another sign that the player base for this game is pretty small and probably getting smaller now .

Here's the most recent updates from the Command Chair posted by the Devs regarding the issue:

ELO Tuning

We just wanted to notify the community that we are aware the new match maker can take a while to find a match. We're actively monitoring the data coming in from the match maker and we are planning to tune it to ensure that the average time to find a match is acceptable. Even with pre-seeding there is a degree of balancing that needs to occur over the next day or so.

Please bear with the match maker and don't Alt-F4 etc. as that will only make the issue worse for now. We will keep you posted as we make updates.

Servers will be coming down momentarily while we push an update to the match making service. This is to attempt to reduce the queue times for lone wolf players.

We will monitor it over the next few hours should the lone wolf queue times not come down we will temporarily turn off MatchMaking Phase 3 while we analyze the data and look at how to correctly reduce the lone wolf queue times.

So servers coming down momentarily, few hours with the new change to see if it helps, if not we roll back to the old system temporarily.

Thanks

Here is the Matchmaking Feedback thread for technical feedback regarding the New Matchmaking system. http://mwomercs.com/...making-phase-3/

We'll see how it goes, in the meantime I suggest we all just let it unfold and Chill Out, Bros.

I hate to say it, but I think you're a fool. They have betrayed every trust placed in them with ECM, and it's clear this latest 'improvement' is the just the next stage in the line of examples of just how little they rate any kind of faith.

Now now

Well they did revert to phase two match making, so they are of the problem and will hopefully get it fixed.

I am with you on ECM however, I'm still surprised it's survived in it's current form.
