Personally, if I enter I strike, I completely disregard the matchmaking system. I don't need anyone they match me up with. I'm going to complete it at my pace, if they don't like that I avoid the cannon fodder on the way to the actual strike segments, they can leave or hang back and shoot peons in the head for 15 minutes, doesn't bother me any. I'd like to see the matchmaking be made into an option rather than forcing me to play with a couple of randoms.
