I’ve played a lot against AIs and since yesterday I’ve been trying to play with humans. And I don’t quite get a few things.
"Games tab" – when I click "search", I see the nicknames of multiple users appear and disappear in the "queue" and it takes several minutes until I get matched… or give up trying. I’ve tried extending my level and rating tolerances to increase my chances, to no avail. How does this work exactly?
"Tables" tab – whenever I join a table, it doesn’t start because the player doesn’t see/hear I’ve joined. Sending messages in the chat doesn’t help either. Is there a way to make this work better? I’d suggest adding sounds and/or displaying the most recent tables at the top, i.e. those where players are still on their pre-game screen, waiting for someone to join.
Also, it’d be quite helpful to see players’ ratings in this tab, so you don’t get matched with someone who will crush you.
All of this has me quite frustrated that it takes so long to find a game.
So is it just me or does the matchmaking system(s) not work very well?
Thanks for your answers.
