So lobbies....
So my friends and I have lately been complain about matchmaking. So today, we kinda sat down and started trying to figure out queue times. When we noticed something odd, at least we thought so.
So we realized during our test time it took between 9-11 minutes to get a match. So we then tried lobbies with 1 and lobbies with two people. Both the single person and the duo still averaged 9-11 minutes.
Lastly as we are PC players, we decided to toggle off "Cross-Play" and guess what, as a lobby of 4, 3, 2 and 1 we still averaged 9-11 minutes... The thing that confused me was, "Cross-Play" says "If this setting is disabled, you will only matchmake with other user on your platform who have opted out of cross-play" basically, you can only match with other people who also disabled "Cross-Play"... So my question is, why is our queue times the same with it enabled or disabled? Are you honestly saying it takes the same amount of time to find me a lobby with 60k players as a portion of 30k?

You really expecting any answers whatsoever here?

It all comes down to the number of killers vs survivors. It sounds like either way instead of 1 killer for every 4 survivors, the pool is actually 1 killer for evry 10 survivors

No but spending the time it takes to play a match looking for a match is stupid... And I do think its really odd that Cross-Play was meant to help queue times, but honestly all day long no matter how we tested it, our times were the same, with or without it. How busted does your match making have to be that it takes the same time to match 5 people together out of a pull of 60-70k as it does to match 5 people together out of a pool of lets say 15k to be generous.

on steam some of the talkon one thread led me to think many people (since plenty commented int he thread about dong it and testing it) on steam were switching crossplay off to sometimes shave a few minutes off their survivor queues and avoid getting console survivors as teammates when solo . that would imply many pc killers also switch it off. I had been noticing a lot of my kilelrs were console for some reason the last times I played so that's possible they're doing that. once enough have done it on both sides, it would have diminishing returns especially after enough pc survivors do it.

Logically speaking, there should be a max amount of wait time before you're prioritized and match making just throws whatever it can at ppl. So maybe u hit that point on both.
