Today out of 8 games we got together 3 times in 4v4. All the other matches we played on seperate lanes and could not coordinate at all.

Our teammates had the same situation multiple times where each partner was swapped.

Pure random distribution is really unacceptable. If you are not going to spawn me next to my partner in team games, you might as well match me into a different game.

This needs to be fixed in COH3.

Getting 4 games in a row (50:50 chance of course) without playing with your queue partner, only to see the spawn system randomly place 2 soviets together and 2 brits together essentially crippling your team to a 30% winrate from the start - is an extremely bad look for the game, terrible for balance and very frustrating.

On secondary priority after partners are matched, the spawn system should distribute the factions out as it is always a big disadvantage to have 2 of the same on one side while the other team has a perfect distribution.

Imo i dont see a problem. Distrubution means nothing.

I dont wanna play vs arranged teams all the time, while i play with randoms.

The only way i can see this implemented is, if at players are queued with other at players.

IN your example: 2 players wanna play 4v4 together -> Matchmaking queues them with 3 other teams of 2.

If you wanna play with your mate -> 2v2

Well this is wrong however. Distribution means a ton. Playing 2 soviet  - 2 brit side by side without your teammate versus a perfectly matched stack of OST OKW  OST OKW with teammates matching - you can basically leave the game as it so blatantly unfair that there is no point playing.

We don't want to play 2v2. There is far more teamplay in 4v4 than in 2v2 if you are next to each other. If I want to play 2v2 it should be because I want to, not because of terrible design decisions forcing me to play a mode I don't like because it otherwise with the flip of a coin ruins the experience of playing with friends by not letting me play with my teammate.

Its insane that this system hasn't been fixed in all these years.
