Questions about language-based matchmaking

General Discussion

Continuing the discussion from Why there is no swedish in game based in sweden:

First… Out of curiosity… What was the answer to this problem from the older topic? Are some languages truly nowhere to be found in multiplayer matchmaking?

Also… How does language-based matchmaking work exactly? Is it always enforced? Does ping between players influence the matchmaking? I live in North America; if another French-speaking North American tries to play, will we get matched together instead of getting matched with someone in Africa or Europe?

Well, recently I picked Japanese in multiplayer lobby and ended up playing with a Polish host.

In short words - matchmaking as it is, and how it has been from the start, doesn’t work. It’s a game of chance.
