Finding/Starting games could be streamlined
There are hundreds of unjoined games sitting in the queue collecting dust. I think this could be improved 2 ways:
- Creating a "For You" experience when you click "join games" or even having this live in some sort of notification center. "Cblake just created a game with settings you usually enjoy". Instead of the feed being in chronological order, it would be a super benefit to sort if by compatibility to the player searching. That way you can find game types you usually play faster.
- Duplicate game type warning: When you go to start a game - there is duplication detection that can sense that there are open games available of similar settings. This nudges players away from starting new games when there are similar games available waiting to be joined.

Re: Improvements to Joining Games
I would like to see a “see games from your map pool” and other criteria button (eg. 24 hrs per move, team games, fog of war, etc.), that one could pre-set as one saw fit.
I read via another suggestion thread that there is a way to do something similar (not sure if it included the map pool idea) via a widget, though as people would much prefer an inbuilt function over a widget I would suggest it be added in directly, perhaps as a single button labelled something like “preset search settings".
And another idea would be a “randomizer” for team games, not made as the default but as an option, by which one could have teams randomized - or perhaps even better, semi-randomized - with an aim to balance out net ratings in the interests of having more competitive games).
