This further explanation seems like it was requested in the thread op.This poll is absolutely useless. Am I happy with the current matchmaking? No I am not. But not because I think the system itself is the problem, but alt f4 not being punished. Without further explanation the result of the poll is just worth nothing.

I get better match responses on tinder than aoe2 matchmaking itself
I would have thought with your 1000 IQ brain you would realise that I compared aoe2 matchmaking to something worse smh my headLies
There are some stability issues and people want more control about the settings in ranked. That is the simplest summarise i can give about the main conplaints.I'm launching the game, hitting the Find Match button and in 3 minutes I'm in a game. Don't know what else to wish
Imo having kind of Standrad settings being forced in ranked is a good thing. There is Unranked lobbies for the complete freedomThere are some stability issues and people want more control about the settings in ranked. That is the simplest summarise i can give about the main conplaints.
As result games fail to launch or players quits the games because they dont like the settings. Things like they dont like the map or they dont like being flank or they dont like their allies.

matchmaking debriefing:
queued for some teamgames (2v2 + 3v3 + 4v4)
banned a random sampling of BF + arena + socotra because i have actual standards
game 1: megrandom. someone dodged
game 2: arabia. someone paused for 3 minutes at the start of the game and then resigned
game 3: nomad. someone dodged
game 4: megarandom. someone dodged
game 5: four lakes. someone dodged
game 6: arabia. someone dodged
game 7: nomad. played, but it wasn't close because player ratings are inaccurate by hundreds of points
game 8: nomad. someone dodged
game 9: four lakes. someone dodged
game 10: megarandom. someone dodged
game 11: megarandom. someone dodged
game 12: arabia. played, but it wasn't close because player ratings are inaccurate by hundreds of points
game 13: four lakes. someone dodged
game 14: megarandom. someone dodged
game 15: megarandom. someone dodged
game 16: nomad. someone dodged
game 17: nomad. someone dodged
game 18: four lakes. someone resigned at minute 0. this person has already been reported dozens of times for doing this. but the game has no admins
game 19-24: all dodged, probably because this same toxic player was being paired with some of the same players over and over again, and they did not want to play with that individual. how could the campaign players who designed the system not see that this would happen? didn't william wallace and genghis khan warn them about this?
game 25: arabia. a game was played. it was the same boring xbow+frank+xbow crap. this game was ruined by not enabling allied vision as the default setting. i believe it was voicechat vs no-voicechat
game 26: arabia. someone dodged
game 27: megarandom. someone dodged
game 28: four lakes. someone dodged
game 29: nomad. someone dodged
game 30: arabia. someone dodged
bUt We CaN fInD gAmEs So QuIcKlY tHx DE
then i got frustrated and tried to play 1v1
banned the 3 slowest farmville maps because i want to play all the ages, not just imperial
game 31. valley. someone dodged
game 32. golden pit. played a long game that took forever because feudal + castle age armies can't do anything quickly
now i'm too tired to play more 1v1
back to teamgames. hopefully the toxic fools have retired for the night
game 33A: queued for 7 minutes. no game. restarted the queue
game 33B: megarandom. someone dodged
every teamgame was against random-civ-blocking noobs
looked at the lobbies out of curiosity and the highest rated players were like 800 elo below me
and then i closed aoe and laughed at aoezone's poll results

So how are you sure it is about dodging and not disconnecting?
How about allow people to play Turbo Mode Sudden Death on Water Nomad in Ranked?1v1 ok
TG doesn't work
How about allow people to pick the maps from map pool
close to 100%
unless someone lost internet or power during this exact time, it's all from people dodging maps or positions or allies
a few of the early resigns could be a game crash / stability issue, but i have reasons to believe that isn't the case in these instances
