All I ever see are 5v5 hotjoins now. Half of them have 12-18 out of 20 players, yet when you join them, it’s like a 4 on 3 if you’re lucky. That or its full, and the map is almost over, and when you start the next map it’s like everyone has logged.
Do 8v8 servers no longer exist? Do they cost more money? Whats the deal? Where did all the 8v8 servers go!!
I ask this mainly because imo 5v5 has been a total hotjoin failure.
Half of the apparently “populated” servers are nearly never filled with 5v5 teams to begin with. Almost all of them I join have at least 12/20 population…which is frustrating when you join it, only to find out there’s only 4-6 people actually playing.
I just don’t understand what happend to all the 8v8 servers? Before this big update, they were everywhere, and it was fairly easy to join a server that supported a decent population to play against and have fun.
The best thing I liked about 8v8 was that people would actually ohh….KEEP PLAYING for more than a couple rounds.
You get a good 5v5 game, next map….you got 3v2, and whatever was golden has become a heavy kitten . I know I log. There is no competition in a 3v2 when you have 3 cap points…..and the fights are pretty boring because of that.
In in 8v8 map. You might lose 3 players or so, and it turns into a 7v6…………Hell 7v6 works still!! I’ll take it anyday over a 3v2. The odds are better, and there is going to be more action, I’m happy happy
I just don’t know maybe. Maybe there is something in the way. All I want to know is why do I keep joining 5v5 servers that show ~15/20 players when there are only (7-8) playing?! I’m tired of voodoo mathematics.
Maybe refine the hotjoin search so we can sort by active players (players that are actually participating in matches)? That way there isn’t 10 afk players squatting in each server specifically because they do voodoo math.
I’d rather see some 8v8s back, at least I know I can play on those servers for more than a couple matches before I have to find another craphole disappointment of a server.
