I would like to share some feedback on the state of matchmaking, especially against premade squads.
As a solo player, the thing that needs some proper fixing is the way the game assigns new players to match up against premade level 20+ teams.
Some info
Example 1.
In this match, I was assigned two random beginner players (with no attachments whatsoever) to fight a premade team of level 30+.
Example 2.
Directly after that match (which lasted like 1 min), the game thought it was a good idea to match the exact same players against each other again.
Which resulted in 1 of my teammates leaving the game.
This is how the match went:
Example 3.
I was matched with 2 low-level beginners in my squads, to fight a premade level 27+ squad. One of my teammates immediately left the game (this is how we started).
This is how that match ended. My teammate was literally being spawn farmed.
I can understand that if there are not many players to match up against, it may be necessary to let a premade team fight solo players. But on these times, I can hardly believe that there are no other players and I get matched up against the exact same players with the exact same team.

@DYSPROssium I experience the same thing whenever I queue for a Preseason Ranked match. I play with randoms (as none of my friends have this game) and I typically notice the same group of two or three people are on the same team. Whenever that happens, those group of two or three people win the game.
Makes the matches very one-sided when those groups of two or three people are communicating to each other via mics while my team is completely silent.

The Steam numbers only show the amount of only Steam users playing the game, but it does give a good overall picture of other platforms as well.
Roughly it's around 300 on a day, which is horrible for a game that just launched.

- Finding a preseason ranked match can take 5 min or more (or never find one).
That's weird. Very weird.
Despite the low amount of Steam players, I can at least find a Preseason Ranked Match with 1 or 2 minutes of waiting.
At the same time though, I see the same people over and over again.
Already just a couple of days ago, I noticed and recognized the same names over and over again. For me, this is a bad sign that the game already has a small playerbase.

- There is no quit button on the PC version
For now, Alt+F4 is the quit button for PC.
