Problems with matchmaking
Schwalbe:
Bad idea. It would make the whole system much more complicated and not optimised, therefore - hella much slower.
Richard LeMoon:
As opposed to now? I don't think you know anything about dynamic sorting systems, sir.
Schwalbe:
...yes, I know sorta (pun intended) about that. ^^

If the matchmaker included EVERYONE in the pool, except for those in global lobby and in a match, it would be able to recommend better lobbies. If it did, you would get a popup like:
"We have detected a lobby better balanced for your skills. Would you like to join?" [Yes/No]
It would then show you what your position in the new lobby would be without actually putting you there, and ask if you want to stay or go back.
Problem of diluted highly-skilled players in not fun matches solved.

This would be nice. With a match list you could hop around until you found a lobby with good population of higher-levels which would generally stick together. Since we don't have that luxury now, it's been slow getting a good group into a lobby, and seems to only be achieved with us crew-forming and friend-joining since the matchmaker seems to have no effing clue how to match us up appropriately. I hope for the love of god they don't take those options away from us.
I'd even be fine being dropped into spectate in a full/running match that the matchmaker thinks I'd be a better fit in based on the players actually being around my skill bracket. It's what I do manually anyhow waiting for a slot to open up.

MM is a nightmare for setting up matches for events.
You have to get everyone to add one person to join on then get them to join on them. When setting up multiple matches, you have to have multiple people. So your bumbling screen names + passwords and hoping people don't have trouble navigating the menus. Its the epitome of...before just one or two steps to make it happen...now, 4-5 steps. Adding to that all the problems that potentially crop up on top of that.
