STS2 overworld lobby is atrocious

I honestly can't stand the incessant voice chat of people trying to sell rare cards and relics as if I'm standing in a stock exchange. It was a completely braindead decision to put every player into a single pre-match lobby.

I'm so sick of watching Defect lads jumping off the spire compound wall, landing with their thick legs in front of me, blocking my entire screen, and wrecking my ears with, "DAAA CLAAAAAW!". Who fucking thought this was a good idea? brain dead!

Also the matchmaking? I can't ever squad up with my friends, and always end up in a 4 squad of ironclads. My friends and I can't afford the pachinko skip tokens, so we are constantly trying to coordinate our jump into the pegs at the same time. So hard to hear my friend over "CLAAAW! DAA CLAAAW!" and "GERONIMO PACHINKO!", and even if we jump at the same time in the same spot we never land in the same bucket because of the broken ragdolls.

I don't want to get put into lobbies with speed runners who pump out 10 turns and wipe the enemy before I've had a chance to take my turn. Horrible decision to make combat real-time rather than turn based, but that's another issue.

Honestly, please reconsider the lobby design. I'm so sick of feeling like I'm playing WoW or in a PUBG pre-game lobby.
