          @sheikah Hmm, seriously should we be sitting waiting for three minutes? I usually give up around the 40 second mark as it seems safe to assume someone has had an issue....

            Not necessarily because sometimes it can take a while for everyone to launch the game and connect

              Games sometimes launch after a surprising amount of time. It could be that someone needs to still download/generate the map and there is no advantage in cancelling early when the next queue pop will only be in three minutes anyway.

                I think there is merit in waiting until the next matching time is down to like 15 seconds (0:15). That way, you theoretically waited for close to 3 minutes, and you can still join the next queue cycle before it reaches 0:00. In my experience, a notable portion of matches actually do connect in the 2nd or 3rd minute if everybody waits.

                  If there is a loading screen that lets you know what the other players are doing: Downloading the map, launching the game, connecting to players, etc. similar to tft then I think less players will leave.

                    it waits around 2 minutes 30, then kicks all so they can join the next round.

                    From my experience

                        More informative text is planned afaik, just hasn’t been done yet. I took a stab at it but never got to the point where it was ready to PR.

                          @scout_more_often Yes. I often get past setting up automatch after 2 mins

                            Thanks all, I make sure to wait longer now. Definitely would support some more explanatory text onscreen explaining all of the above 🙂

                              How come it takes longer in TMM compared to a hosted game?

                              In a hosted game somebody connects in about 20 sec. Even multiple people at the same time.

                              Check out my maps here:
