Ever since the Update It is now much more difficult to find people for games.

Overall I like the update except where as before I could find players to play game after game after game, NOW I will play a game and then sit there for hours waiting for more players to show up. Also because they took away the 1v1 with Bot option about the time one opponent comes in to play the other one had left. Not fun anymore

They have said they are working on bringing that back in, and you were trying to do it in FFA, no one wants 3 bots in FFA

Yeah can find the announcement here: #news_announcements message

Yeah, everyone left after the update. No one wants to play without FoW or Blizzards taken away. With that said, those that were on playing would venture into other games, but have a developed a bitter taste in their mouths from the last update, and left entirely.

i dont think thats true, the players can still join matches with fog and bliz sooo idk

There are definitely less people playing. I almost always have to create a game and then wait for a long time to get 4 other players. Before there used to always be games available in the early evening (us eastern time). I thought some of it might be free players waiting for someone to offer up a game with fog/bliz but I dont think that is the case. Hopefully, they will come back.

I agree 100%... It takes forever to fill a game now, by time your close someone ends up leaving before u get a full match. also wish they would add a ready up button for the ones waiting so dont start without them being at there screen.

I have no issue finding players within 5 minutes of making a lobby. You just need appetizing settings. If you create a classic fixed or prog game then yeah, it will take a while because there are so many of them.

What are your filters. Curious to see if i can tweak mine to get more games.

Generally, any map that isn’t classic, 90 seconds if you want a mobile friendly game, and if you are premium maybe try zombies, capitals or 70%.

Generally Blizzards also add a lot of interest to a game

Ranked FFA, Ranked 1v1 & Casual FFA & Casual 1v1 were all 1 mode before, now there's 4 separate lobbies - which splits up players a fair bit

[thorny leaf]

Yep that’s also a big factor. A lot of people don’t want to play the game for rank and prefer casual while others grind ranked nonstop

Was never playing with 3 bits only 1 ad thats irrelevant anyway I have sat there waiting for just 2 people to play with no bots and it takes forever
