A General thoughts of Season 4 matchmaking (so far)

[Jazz Monkey]

Well i expected this season to pop because of the new stuff coming "new maps, transformations raider extt.. i was excited for the raider cue to return because i wanted like many to us again be the raider. longer wait time? fine i wanted to level up captain Ginyu so i don't have to wait 5-6 games to do that once.
but thats the issue as well who even wants to be the survivors? no one does,but when everyone does it we bump into this situation.
so here's what i think personally so far.
1. they need to bring back the old raider system, it will solve all these match making problems.
2. make "survivor" only and "raider" only a separate matchmaking pool.
for those who prefer either survivor or raider and make survivor only get raider priority for flex if they choose to later. think of this like an elite version of flex your paired of against people of the same level.
3. make flex survivor and flex raider its own matchmaking pool for those who don't mind grinding to get raider. that way there's not getting stuck with people just waiting for (raider onlys) and the game flows like it should quick match. basically its for the casual players who don't mind waiting.
what do you think? share your thoughts.

All good points, though I think the "Survivor Only" Cue should be a solo one like Raider only, keep groups to Flex only. that way Friends can still play with friends, and Raider mains in the "Raider Only" lineup don't have to deal with jobless cream teams.

honestly i still miss the first matchmaking system, cause im certain playing with only friends doesn't get you progression

i agree good point they would have to make flex like it was before instead of two
separate options just one. that way you can make "Only Modes" for the rank system both raiders and survivors.

Oh you could, that was Dips biggest issue with the season 1 matchmaking, but it was arguably the best one to play with friends because you COULD have a friend as the raider... It wasn't fair for anyone not in the friend group though so fooling around too much would only get you in hot water. Maybe the flex cue should be merged and just be the original season 1 queue system and Raider and Survivor only can be the ones that are linked together for queueing up.

yes that's what i think would work for the ONly cues you can also put the ranking system they want to put in the game.

Do you mean the S1 Matchmaking? Only Flex and with 8 man Frirends Lobby?
If Yes.
1. defintly
2. this will be a double edge sword. It may or may not solve the problems at hand. For example: if you seperate the survivor only and raider only que, the raider only will always have the premate lobbys and flex will always be solos. So many would que flex and just senzurush/feed because they can play raider WITHOUT premate teams. at the same time the raider only start to cry about only having 7 man seal teams.
So thgis seperated think is a bit complicated but I think you get what I mean.

So this ultimately comes down to that people are a**holes and can't play properly. If you have survivor and raider queue separated, majority of people will queue on the raider queue, thus resulting in long queue times. If you don't have raider only queue people will just feed the raider to increase their priority as fast as possible. And if you can queue with friends in the flex queue, then people will team up with raider and ruin others' fun. You just can't win.

I would love to say YOU ARE WRONG but I can not say this (because player proofed it's true)
The only think I can say is: Back in season 1 when we player flex with friends and someone from us got raider the raider needed to mute himself/herself or he was banned from our group.

Whenever i did the old queue system whenever i got raider i just wanted to just play not farm, yes there are a lot of bad apples but similarly there are a lot of people who just play the game. I would still take the original matchmaking over the new ones, cause i know for a fact my friend hates playing survivor with a burning passion and as long as he had a chance to be raider and play with us it was cool with him but since they removed that and didn’t offer a alternative that allowed progression he quit
