Is anyone else getting insane wait times for 3vs3 in sc2? I literally have to wait at least 20 minutes like every single time. Does no one else like to play it? Do people still have lag issues? 3vs3 has always been my favorite game type and I was super excited to finally have it with patch 13 but I've probably only managed to play like 10 games max

Anyways /done whining
More people play 3vs3 please :D

Same for me. 3v3s take longer to match up then 4v4s for some reason for me. I enjoy those much more than 1v1s and 2v2s because of the epic gigantic balls of units that you can pulverize with sieged tanks. And all the red blips every second because so much shit is going on... Plus, my friends give me shared control and make units and I attack/defend while they take care of econ. :D Great way for teamwork!
Is it in you?

it mostly depends on your rank. i'm pretty sure that the lower your 3v3 rank the faster you're going to get a game. i played my 3v3 placements, and they all came within 3 minutes. but haven't played a single 3v3 past that. and this is with random teams.

4v4 usually takes us 7-15 minutes to find a game.

Really? We just tried searching 3v3 with a new team so it was placement matches and we waited 25 minutes before we gave up. We then tried to search 4v4 and it was the same thing, we waited another 20 minutes and just gave up My rating can't be that high because i've barely played any 3v3, unless it takes like 1v1 into account as well or something. Or arranged team's get fucked over.

For me, 4v4s took at most 10 minutes to find a game, and on average about 5 minutes.

Try custom 3v3s or 4v4s, maybe they're faster? :S

I tried to get a 4v4 going yesterday and it didn't find a match after over 15 minutes =\ huge fail on the matchmaking system. I mean cmon there's got to be at least 20 people looking for a 4v4 pretty much all the time.

3v3 and 4v4 took us a while. Definitely not 15-20 minutes like some people. Most have been a few minutes, but as I'm talking with my partners on Skype I usually don't mind the wait. Unless JoshSuth is being a dick.

I had a 4v4 take about 6-7 minutes, but most of my other 3v3 and 4v4 dont take quite that long. This is at the diamond level. The game that took the longest was actually a placement game.

custom team games are the worst. The skill level is even lower than in placement games.

4v4 are the best, 'cause people are so bad, I either win/lose because of a single/double/triple 6 pool.

but where else could you find the opportunity to mass nukes, ravens, templar, or infestors + queens?

Why bother playing those modes if you care about skill level anyways? =P

ya.... I can remember loosing a game because some genius thought he would mass nukes. I look at his base and he has like 6-7 silos and no units except a few ghosts. He then gets mad at us when the enemy kills him.
