Crossplay and it making the game worse
The reason why you can't find any games at all when you turn cross-play off is because it's searching for other people who also have it turned off. The game sets cross-play to be on by default and most people do not care to turn it off or know that you can turn it off.

You may wonder whats the problem with having it on at all, well the issue is that for some strange non sense reason cross-play changes modes like Push from being 14 VS 14 to 10 VS 10, which if you've played the game enough you notice how much worse it is.

So to TLDR the issue, cross-play makes the game modes worse by reducing the player limit. and it's set on by default so it's extremely unlikely to find a non cross-play game with the intended player count. Sometimes I feel like these devs don't even play their own game.

This was done on purpose to combat players who would turn it off. Its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous.

I'm not opposed to crossplay per se, but gimping the player count is retarded. The other issue I see stemming from this now is console players will probably be begging for aim assist and it'll end up being like CoD where the aim assist overpowers the skill of MKB players. I could very well be wrong and I hope I am, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

yes, bring back 14v14 servers. Crossplay essentially killed any chance of playing 14v14. Make crossplay off by default.
