I just got this:
It may not look bad, only one player short, but I joined halfway through the battle, and someone else was already dead when I joined. Can we PLEASE fix the matchmaker issues?

I have yet to have this happen in missions, but I run into this almost daily in brawls, especially the special ones (the weekly ones they rotate constantly like rippers, droneapocalypse, wheels of fortune, for the emperor etc)
I donāt remember seeing this happen in missions, but I play mostly PVE. Never saw it in Levi invasions. It does happen frequently in raids (usually during the first 20 seconds when it does happen), as if the matchmaker is thinking that the two intitial players are gonzos who are gonna need help.
Mode popularity or Player shortage is the issue, Not matchmaking. Matchmaking tried to give yur allies a better chance by sliding yu in late, because of awoLs. Yur allies were glad for it.

Iām not sure if this guy was in a group, but I kinda feel bad (enemy team, bottom right corner):
I hope he was in a group, that would be sad if he wasnāt.
I was in a mission the other day where I was down nearly 10k from the highest PS player. I felt bad for him; other players were cursing him out for āplaying a high ps in pveā. Since when is it a crime? I was the only one who stuck up for himā¦it wasnāt his fault, and he has as much right to play any mode just like anyone else has.

Gotta love it when youāre 12k PS build gets matched against over 20k PSā¦ 
(look at me, then look at 4th one down on enemy team)
I would rather see a few bots in the game. Than the big differences and late jumps into the game.
I tolerated a lot here, but Iām no longer enjoying this and Iām considering whether Iāll pay for any more events.
Random complaint of the same old matchmaker stuff weāve seen so many times
-fight with 1100 ps build with 11-13kps builds and get hard countered by weapon choice while running into the same 4-8 repeated mvp players 10+ matches
-switch to another gun and build thatās at 12kps and could compete with the 4-8 players choice of builds better
-get put into 10-11kps or 13-16kps and never see those same 4-8 players again, and run into another selection of the same 3-7 repeated top score players every match that hard counter your current build and weapon choice, and the original 11kps build would counter these but not your current 12kps build
-switch back to 11kps build to be able to finally get through the strategy od the same 3-7 players ganking everyone with insert either maximum power rush cheese or distance snipe with maximum speed cheese
-now run into the original same players again for 10+ matches rather than the same people you kept running into 10+ matches with the 12kps build
-contemplate not affording relic generator and close the game
Every time youāre running a slow tanky build youāre put against maximum reverse speed autocannons or scorps. You switch into a faster build that can keep up with those builds, you get put against nothing but rushmeta bricks that tear up your faster but flimsy build. Go meelee or face hug, everyoneās got a faster long range car and youāre a sitting duck. Go maximum ranged combat, every player on the enemy team is a facehug build with boosters. I swear this game purposely puts you against players that are effective against you for free kills, like why canāt I run into the same 4 man group running nothing but facehug reaper bricks with my max speed max reload mandrake build, but the moment I switch to another build that is not good against that kind of builds (missiles literally doing no damage at all no matter how many damage boosting buffs you have going on from perks) but good against scorp hovers, which I was fighting a 4-man group of for 10+ matches with my dual drakes I originally switched to to deal with the rushpile of 4 brick builds, Iām fighting the āwrong groupā again for 20 matches in a row, even though both builds are equal PS of say 1200
Honestly the easiest way to see any weapon being used in this game is to play a build that gets countered by them, I can go multiple matches without any fast builds but the moment you play drakes thereās a build on the enemy team for each match that takes less than 10 seconds at the start of the match to have stealth zoomed up to your build and chewed through it with gravastars or lances or whatever. Yokais are completely devoid from pvp but choose a hover build and suddenly every enemy has a Yokai
I am going to start a conspiracy theory just for fun on how the MM gives these āfree killsā to whales, paypigs, youtubers and streamers just to keep up appearances and milk more money out of the paying people, like an invisible premium subscription on getting handed easy-2-counter builds for whatever choice of gun theyāre running, I donāt even care how paranoid or outlandish it even sounds like by this point
Oh my god, where are you playing that there is such a big community.
Indeed until, the conspiracy community.
Seeing the ability of the developers of this game, I doubt they would even pull it off.
This is all so depressing. Thatās why the best mode is bedlam! You walk in expecting a 20K ps spread, arenāt disappointed, and you still have fun! You donāt have to worry about which build to use, because thereās no way to know in advance what you might encounter. Grind for bedlam, not for victory! 
Bedlam offers about the same experience as just sitting in your garage and staring at the general chat
You mustāve missed the busy times on the NA server. It fills up fast and often a second or third session is started. Go in there and shoot people randomly and youāll get all the excitement you can handle!
