The biggest lie from the illustrious creators of this game is not “we listen to our players”, “we strive to create an enjoyable player experience”, or “our game is balanced and fair for everybody”. No, the biggest lie in this game is “Average waiting time.” It is the single biggest crock of crap ever published. Very, very rarely am I less than or even within a few seconds of the posted average waiting time. It’s usually AT LEAST 3, 4 or 5 times MORE, frequently longer. It’s bad enough that the claimed average is longer than ever; but then 14 seconds turns into minutes. I’ve had games that are over in less time than I waited for them to start. And I know it’s not because they can’t find players, it’s because they cant find the players to carry out whatever psych games they’ve programmed into that manipulative pile of crap called a matchmaker. Very frustrating, especially when you have unlimited time to play to begin with.
Ok, I’m done.

lol, I’ve often wondered why it’s even there. Just have “looking for players” or something similar. Just get rid of the timer.

Every game type was insta que at all levels except champion a few years ago. Now experiencing wait times in excess of 2 minutes in Silver and Gold league. Great job Pix!

Strangely, I must disagree....it is unusual for me to wait long at all, with the exception of FFA, which has always been 3+ minutes-the reason I never got into FFA mode.
However, having lots of waiting nerfs Ag juts that much more, especially with boosters active.....

Yeah, I tracked the times for a few days once and the real average is about 4 times longer than displayed. I don’t understand why it’s so off and have speculated that the time is across all leagues, or it’s the time for paying players (I’ve never spent), or they just don’t know how to compute an average.

Oh they listen to us. Like how a dog's ears perk up when you tell them to not to stand on the table.
Do they listen? Yeah. Do they actually do anything? Nope.

I do not believe que times are a lie....Pix, to be rich, has screwed this game up so much it ain’t funny.
I am beginning to believe they can’t fix it.....the lag, cheats, bugs, and confusion is way out of control now.
A damned shame.......

An average waiting time of 52s seconds seems slow... ... ...10 minutes later...

Silver, eh? They're better equipped than a lot of iOS Champions League players.

I play mostly BR on iOS. I'm in Champ League. The average wait time is often spot on in my experience (20 months of playing).

I get to twice the average wait time I quit and start again.
Also boosters should be counted in game time not actual time because you spend a LOT of the booster time waiting for games to start.

Can't agree with you more, late at night I can spend about 2 minutes to do a TDM as opposed to getting gang r@ped by a beacon squad with a shorter wait time.

The improved "faster/cheaper new economy", mid 2018. That was a good one. Changed me to F2P tho.

Geez, feel bad for y'all! I wonder though where y'all are located and/or who's providing your internet service. My wait time rarely hits a minute. I don't play FFA much... I'll give that a go for a while.

Cancel and restart usually gets you a game quickly. Call it another bug to add to the pile.

I wait maybe 30-45 seconds, cancel then battle again...usually 3 cycles gets me dropped in. I can’t even fathom how a body sits around watching a timer count up to 10+ minutes, hell I can’t deal with 2 minutes! Whatever.......

I typically do not have trouble with waiting times... A lot of the time it's like instant, at most like 10-15s. If I'm having network difficulty it will take longer...
It could be that you got into the tanker queue (not pointing fingers lol). I drop occasionally too (cough, maxed squads, cough), but more often than not it's a crash or lagged out.

I never tank or leave a match until mechout. *good girl* I know Team DeathMatch's waiting time can get ridiculous sometimes (I used to try and use it to finish the 10 Platinum task quicker, but I got sick of the waiting times), so I tried to record one for the purposes of this thread. I was laughing well before 10 minutes. This was the first time I'd taken it that far, as I usually cancel in the first few minutes. I'm not sure what server I'm on Grumpy Tanker #Official, but I play from Australia, have an International badge in my profile, and regularly fight alongside Asian named players. KOR, CHN and CHNx are some very common clans I'm paired with.

And don't forget. Sometimes it is really hard to find enough dumb-「multiple dookie delivery chute」 to pair you with to ensure you suffer a loss.

I know you play in Australia, mate I was a red against you a few days ago, Dreadnought, I was doing the Pursuer jogging dance of death in front of your Behemoth. Trying to get your attention not sure if you saw me so I ran closer, right in your face even... I was like sideways shaking my bot head at you and everything. You ignored me. I sent you a clan invite, you ignored me. I felt alone. The game ended and you left. I was alone. Blue won, but it went down as a loss..... I was alone.

I'm sorry, Grumpy Tanker #Official ! ...that's me most matches! It's entirely unintentional. I'm going through severe abuse and torture in real life, and the aftershock of many years of extreme torture and abuse. War Robots is one of the things I'm using to help rebuild my mind. I spend a lot of time while barely awake, mostly in bed, but also sometimes on the bus or in various places while outside. The glare can get so bad I can barely see the screen. Sometimes I'm too tired to walk without getting stuck on walls. Sometimes I'm a lone wrecking ball. Sometimes I'm a team cornerstone, and defender of the people. I don't feel well enough to join a clan, but I've been invited to many. S-rank clans such as CHN, CHNx and KOR included.
