Hope it has a slightly improvement in existing matching system (not for 2v2 arranged)

Player pool is shrinking gradually, there are less matches completed than before. Meaning less matches are launched daily, we are below hundred a day now.

Adam's statement 'rather have a match regardless skill matchup' will soon be rendered obsolete...
since there is not big enough pool to pick ranked match ups! All matches will be assigned by 'anything goes'.
And separating random from arranged would make much more sense:
1) Those arranged teams know 102 hour turn time limit and are custom to matches extending several months and lasting over hundred turns. They can wait to be matched against a meaningful opponent.
2) Random player on the other hand can be a newbie with a tolerance of a toddler and random would be farer if it were random, not this pseudo random mess at is now

In my opinion, I prefer a skill matchup rather than a match. I played my friendly and accept games for all level of players, but skill matchup is definitely the most important in the real fight.
