Hi-Rez, do you want people to play your games? Or is all this just some big joke on the PC gaming community?

GJ Hi-Rez, pubs are ruined

Matchmaking wasn't perfect but it was a step in the right direction. Unfortunately HR also instituted the party system. Now I go to a match and there are 3-5 guys from the same clan on one team, using VOIP, absolutely pub stomping the other team.

So I leave to join another server, only without a server browser I get sent right back to the server I just left.

I change regions to get away from this crap and find the EXACT SAME THING.

Can you let the parties play on PUGs or private servers and let those of us that want to, you know, play pubs just play pubs?

It's amazing...asking for something from Hi-Rez is like making a deal with the devil. You want matchmaking? Okay, sure. But we're also going to put in this craptastic party system. You want clan tags? Okay, but we're going to completely break the mute function. You want hold auto LAR? Okay, but we're going to screw with the ROF. You want to nerf the autos? Okay, but we're going to add a whole crap-ton of other autos that aren't nerfed. You want a server browser? Okay, but it's only going to work for empty custom servers. You think autos are still too powerful? Okay, we're going to give the discs Play-skool easy hitboxes. You want voice packs? Okay, but they are going to sound ghey as all get out. Etc., etc., etc....

Hi-Rez, do you want people to play your games? Or is all this just some big joke on the PC gaming community?

This.

And the previous match making system only made it worse because 80% of the teams were scrubs that just got out of llama island.
