On PC i'm facing a bunch of console players but if i'm playing on Console i only vs PC players... what gives? How can there be so manny console players when im on PC but then there's no console players when im on Console?

What the hell is that about? This is the issue with Cross-play it's giving Crossplay enabled players a priority oversame platform. Facing PC players as a console killer is definetly not fine but without Crossplay queue times are riddiculous. Can't Crossplay be there just to fill holes if theres no one within the parameters? Crossplay shouldn't be the priority, it should be there to facilitate filling spots not be the spot.

    I've kinda been having the opposite happen to me, especially ever since the new system was implemented. It's been like a week since I've waited longer than 2 minutes for a queue (then again, I only really play in the evenings after I get off work so maybe I'm playing during good hours or something). I haven't had issues playing against PC Killers/Survivors, the only time I really notice any weird bugs are issues are against other console players

    Did you mean to say "NOT FINE"? If so why? I prefer them.

    How do you know they're all PC when you're on console and not just on a different console platform?

    Sometimes you can't be 100% sure but there are certain names (without saying them) that can't be on console. I will give a plain answer if you see a name "Duck" highly likely it's PC but "xxDUCKxx" probably console. I also heard underscores are a good way to spot Playstation as Xbox can't have that in there name.

    It was a common thing: players console are legion (and new). SBMM dropped you with crossplay players on PC. When you are on PC, crossplay players are often matched with console players bc the average PC players was mainly more 'experienced' (more gametime)... at least with the previous MMR... The PC players using crossplay was fewer...

    But naturally, I can be wrong, I really don't know the rate of PC players vs. Console players...
