Hello! I was playing with a great group of people last night and we were all on different platforms (I was on the PC, another was on the XBOX, and another was on the PLAYSTATION). We were super confused with trying to join each other’s lobbies after the match. It took several minutes to finally get each other in the lobby after we all tried inviting each other. I’d like to make some suggestions / feedback.
-
1. RECENT PLAYER LIST SHOWING TEAMMATE OR ENEMY
-
I only got a list of “Recent” offline players. I’d like to suggest for the “Recent” section, that it highlights in BLUE if they were on your team or RED if they were on the enemy team. It would be great to be able to filter between “RECENT Team mates” and “RECENT enemies” instead of having a long list to scroll down and hope you find someone.

2. PROFILE SELECT ON SCOREBOARD
-
I’d like to be able to click on someone from the scoreboard and add as friend. I think a possible solution for cross-game platform with trying to add friends, is a friends list specific in-game only. Right now it’s extremely hard to play with others again, after a match. It’s another issue if they get the invite you tried sending from recent players list. Or maybe make it possible to add friends to steam account, XBOX account or discord as an in-game option. I feel/think players want to play and not get frustrated with making sure they’re able to play with the same people again.

3. INVITE STATUS: “PENDING”, “DENIED”, or "ACCEPTED"
-
I’d like to know if my invite worked and if the other person saw it and/or responded. This would reduce frustration with trying to invite someone instead of spamming the invite button, hoping it works. The group I was with had a lot of failed invites go out.

4. LOBBY READY CHECK BEFORE QUEUEING
-
Not everyone has a mic to vocalize they are ready to queue with the group. Sometimes things pop up in real life that require attention and you need to step away for a moment. I’ve seen groups where the enemy players had AFK people in their base at the start of a match. I’ve had a teammate with a mic not let me know they stepped away for a moment and they were AFK for a few minutes at a beginning of the match. If a ready check comes to the matchmaking experience, I think it’s logical to see a green check mark or red x on someone’s icon/player tag in the lobby.
