Matchmaking broken... again

Well matchmaking seems to have broken again - I assume that the lack of weekly maintenance this week suggests that they really do have to fix this weekly to keep the game playable.

This has been an issue for 6 months now.

A follow up point - are the devs even reading this forum any more? They don't respond to any bug reports or feature suggestions. What's the point in all of this?

    They do read, but don’t often reply or engage other than the week after an update when @TPCi_CursedSoup is pretty responsive.

    It's only half-broken now. Restarting the game once or twice will fix it.

    Nevermind it's bad. And they won't do anything until Thursday at the earliest since the devs seem to believe in the "it's a beta" excuse.

    Just uninstalled the app. Will try again when the devs aren't too lazy and disrespectful to players to do something as simple as rebooting servers every few days. Just missed dailies since there's a hard limit on how many matches you can do before it never connects again, and opponents conceding early counts towards that. @TPCi_CursedSoup

    Highly doubt if the dev team even cares the game. Even the most fundamental feature of the game is broken. Imagine a game in 2022 with a constant matchmaking issue.

    I haven't personally experienced an issue with match making (Not saying there aren't issues with it though), outside of it taking a few minutes to find a match. I have to wonder though, how much of the wait time is due to match making preferences trying to match me up with a similarly ranked opponent, failing, and then widening the pool of potential matches, or if it is a player count issue - so basically not enough players to populate games in a "timely" manner.

    It is not a player count issue. This is a bug that has been occuring for months and we all predicted that it would occur again this weekend just gone due to the lack of maintenance.

    When you are in the queue, watch to see whether the Cancel button disappears and then reappears. My assumption is that if this happens, the game has tried and failed to get you into a game, and then just sticks you back into the loading screen eternally.

    Hi - I am fairly new to the game and I am noticing this as well after today's maintenance. The cancel button disappears and reappears and I never get in. Honestly, if I don't get into a game within the first 10 seconds of queue then I close the game completely and try again.
