Dawn of War 2

Ive had pretty consistent match-ups in 1v1, but teams is mostly shit. Im pretty sure truesearch has been discussed to death, but I cant find the search feature for some reason. So can someone give me a quick summary of why team TS is so terrible?

Low count player base? I tend to blame all of matchmaking's fails on that, to be honest.

Time of day, it is all time of day. Who is on where will depend on schedules, work, sleep, eating, life etc.

I tend to have the best matchups in the middle of the night.

Homer, I feel you man. It is disgusting to say the least. This needs some serious restructuring. I hope microsuck and relic can fix this.

^This. The best time for me to play is around 18:00 - 20.00, GMT (when I get the most europeans playing).

If I play around midnight GMT, I'll only find very high level players or americans - pings will be on the 300-400 mark, really bad for team games.

Having played team alot since 1.5, honestly, I think the search gets very wide from lack of players at higher TS, which some have said is due to time of day etc. It's also because the search, last I heard, eventually expands to find TS +/- 10 of the composite skill of the team, so unless all 3 of you are over 40 you, the longer your search goes on, the more certain it will be that you end up vs TS 20-something opponents. You steam roll them, they QQ, your TS gets no where.

Because it's pretty rare to see a 3v3 team with similar TS.

You'll see teams that are like 22, 16, 30.

Not actually on topic but regarding TS. I just steamrolled(ok early game he had kinda nice press) the guy with 30 ts. It would be nothing strange but the guy had 16 games played(with pretty average ratio from what I've seen). So how comes I keep winning like 9/10 matches and I can't move a point oO
Anyway I wonder why there can't be a normal ladder which would a bit more show the player skill.
