Matchmaking Adjustments:
Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve rolled out various small updates to matchmaking. Now that we’ve had time to assess their effects on matchmaking data, we’ve found the following results:
Average time to find a match has been improved in most regions by about ~15 seconds
Matchmaking times have been slightly crunched, so super long and super short queue times occur less frequently
Average match quality has been slightly improved, as the player pool has been expanded due to algorithm changes
However, players may still get longer queue times than we’d like due to these changes being counteracted by the decreasing player population. We’ll continue to work on improving matchmaking as much as possible, but our upper cap is currently limited by concurrent users.
