Matchmaker que change
-
Can we introduce an option when entering the matchmaking que to allow parties to be placed on seperate teams in the same game. We often have parties of 6 or more and it would be great to simply break the team up but within the same game. I imagine this as a tick box option next the search. This would also mean games can launch faster. I appreciate it does have its downsides with those trying to cheat the sytem, but I'd prefer having to deal with this over a 40 minute wait for a game.

As you said there is the problem with possible rating manipulation. If you are that many people it's better to host a custom game. It should fill rather quickly when you already start with six people
