I play most of my games on voobly recently and just came back to see how it is to play TG on DE. The queue times have increased noticably and the problems of pick civ, pick position, no free map selection and alt f4 are still there.
Queue times are increasing because player numbers are decresing due to summer weather and corona regulations being loosened all over the world which is understandable. The problem is that this might start a snowball effect where people might just stop queuing.
To prevent people from leaving alltother we (the community) have to popularise the lobby browser and the devs must work on the usability of the lobby system.
I dont know how to do it tbh. I have tried hosting random TG on DE and there is pretty much nobody above 1200 elo joining.
For my level (1700-1800 1v1) its easier to find Teamgames on voobly where there are like 500 players online in Medieval Siege compared to finding them on DE where there are 15000 players (including singler players ik).
