Matchmaking Issues are Ruining the Game

[wonderpug]

I haven't participated in league games for a few months, since it was getting tiring always playing the same handful of people over and over. With the new changes, the new team, and the seasonal stat tracking as incentives to jump back in, I did.

Ok, nothing amiss, I start a second match

11:01am
Opponent: kowki101

Well I guess this kowki guy has a lot of games queued. I'll wait a few hours.

Maybe wait another hour or so?

I've now lost all incentive to play the game. The extra wits for going 2nd make it so I don't care as much that I'm going second in all these matches, but the real issue is that it's just plain not fun to be matched against the same exact person repeatedly, especially one who is so obviously manipulating the queue.
