What would you like to see out of matchmaking?

Anyone who plays online games knows that matchmaking is a difficult thing to get right.

I really didn't like the new matchmaking system. I wouldn't mind if a random joined my matches but I genuinely disliked joining mid trial, especially during an update. It was confusing and kind of took away from the immediate novelty of a new map and prime asset. There was no way to turn off joining other players mid-game, either.

I'd like to see matchmaking be a little looser with the option to be specific, like when I'm searching for a group I don't really care about the difficulty, map or event that we play typically. I just want to play with people. If someone wants easier or harder difficulties, they should be able to choose that. If there was an option to enable joining others mid match, they could join whoever at what difficulty they've chosen.

Having that many options has the possibility to separate the player base more though.

The problem with the new matchmaking update was that you couldn't disable joining others mid match and it was initially confusing which caused that kneejerk reaction. I was kind of sad that I didn't get to see the first half of a match the first time I played the new map. It's not the end of the world but it's not great way to handle a live service game imo.
