Why not make the new matchmaker:
tier 1,2 (66%)
tier 1,2,3 (33%)
tier 3 (33%)
tier 3,4,5 (33%)
tier 4,5 (66%)
in essence what I’m asking is instead of giving tier 3 a 50/50 chance of matching up or down why not make it a 33% or 1/3 chance of being up, only tier 3, or down. i believe it would allay the concerns of a lot of people that believe that tier 3 is too weak for tier 5 and too strong for tier 1, since then there would be a chance that you would have tier 3 only games and a lower chance of playing up and down.
additionally since we already have Tunisia and Stalingrad, tier three can make use of that and prefer those maps.
They proposed only 2 queues because of low number of players
Two lines below they explain more queue can be easly added in future if it won’t interfere with matchmaking - once there is enaugh players.
Think of tier 3 as temporary special balance zone, right now it’s main job is to fill the 2 queues as needed.

I understand their motivations, however, I disagree with the execution. I would rather have fewer players in a match and more bots, if it means better matchmaking.
Well they didn’t say that there aren’t enough players, just that they want to see how queue times are with the two queues before adding another.
