Region-specific Matchmaking Reports

Gamertag : N4Vgill
Region : UK
Everyday it is difficult to find a game in the evenings and at night; around after the 9 o clock mark. Timezone is GMT.
Playlists: Slayer and Team Arena

Gamertag: KILLA WATT1
Region: UK
Date/Time: Any
Playlist: FFA, Slayer and BTB
Additional: I seem to come across more laggy players with the region lock, maybe it’s just rubbish EU servers?

Region - Europe, England.
Gamertag - ShabbyIDagger
Date/Time/Timezone - Most of the day
Playlist(s) - All arena and sometimes warzone

Any additional details - Mostly get games searching with US players.

Gamertag: BZllRK
Region: Australia
Date/Time/Timezone: Always
Playlists: Everything takes awhile, most days I spend more time searching than actually playing. So I have to go and play Warzone or even get on my other accounts that have never been placed before.
Take this to mind if we search and it says unable to match why can’t we just match up with anyone? I don’t think I have played a FFA game since launch and that is my favourite playlist. Pretty done with this game if it is not fixed

Gt: alley c.

GT: el duderino651
Region: UK
Time: most weekdays ( including this morning -which is even during school holidays… )
Playlists: FFA

Gamertag: Villa I

Region: Europe/Germany

Date/Time/Timezone: from 11pm until 3pm no chance for games, between 3pm and 11pm still hard times.

Playlists:

  • Team Arena, got better since the matching requirements got lowered, solo games are still just possible in the evenings, problem now is that I often match champs as a 1600 onyx, its not a big problem but shouldnt be like that

-Slayer, even harder times to find games has the same problems as team arena

-Breakout, not a single solo match for two months only if I search with low ranks

-FFA, had a high CSR in seasons before region lock, because they keep in mind what rank you had before it took me 15+ hours to get my placement matches, because I only played champions… Can only find games now if I time it with twitch streams 99% of the time I get in their lobby. Searching solo is impossible until prime time even then you spend more time in the lobby then playing (way more time)

-Swat, Haven’t found a game since region lock, one of my favourite playlists, its just sad

-Social, don’t play it too often still when I do hard times

Any additional details: Just let me say that how 343 is acting in the situation is again as so often embarrassing. What is the reason to have people for the community if they give 1 maybe 2 answers per month. How hard is it to implement a system that was already there? (Connection preferences) This stuff destroys the competitive scene outside NA, that’s at least what I know and as it seems ANZ even can’t play on plat level. All your stats that you always like to bring up seriously don’t show that the activity outside NA at least on high levels didn’t go down? It is just EMBARRASSING. If you take a look at my account can you please message me and tell me how much I time I have spent in MCCs and Halo 5s lobby’s so I can throw that number at you? Without a doubt it comes close to my play time. Rant over
