Starting the match with uneven teams and/or split parties is not a solution for the slow matchmaking times.
The entire point of playing the game is to play a game that’s fun and fair. It’s not fun playing 4v3. Players on the smaller team quit (can’t blame them) and then you’re outnumbered even more.
I would rather wait another 30-60 seconds for an even number of players than have to endure 10 minutes of frustration.
This is so basic. I can’t believe this even has to be spelled out, but apparently it does with this development studio. It’s been three weeks. Fix your damn game.
