I didn’t play for close to 3 months and recently loaded it back up. When I left off I was playing T4 frequently without any issues. Now it seems there are long queue waits and when it does load up it’s usually me solo with 2 bots and some opponent and his 2 bots.
With the new changes is everyone stuck on T3 or did the T4 crowd move to T5? I started playing T3 without any major problems.
if you check the amount of players online at any given time you’ll notice its very small.
bot matches are made because there arent enough players to get you in a full sized match, que fidelity takes a back seat to speed when there are below a certain number of players matchable in your tier. (From what i’ve seen)
Give it time for the game to hit a second wind and the playerbase to increase in size.
Right now it’s usually one of these things:
start queue > get in a 12 v 12 match within a minute
start queue > get in a 1 v 1 with 2 bots on each side after 5 minutes wait
start queue > get in a 4 v 4 VS a full T5 ESB squad farming T4 after 2 minutes
I have yet to see another outcome…
I seem to only get the 1v1 with 2 bots. I’ll just mess around in T3 Thanks!
I have the matchmaking bar graph enabled and anytime I’m solo queueing for T4 and see a full squad at the top end of T5 queueing as well, I’ll drop queue and go find something else to do for a bit.
Also best time for T4/T5 matches is around 8am-Noon EST during Russian prime and from 7pm-2am EST during American Prime. You’ll have more players in the queue and less chance of a lone squad dominating both Tiers every match.

2v2 with a bot on each side in under a minute.
I’m guessing if the queues low enough, you can get a short search just to help out the guy waiting 5 minutes. I’m not sure about the MM bars, I’ve seen it low and get 12v12 and seen it higher but I got 4v4.
