Why does it only put me in a game with one other person?

Why can't the matchmaking system *continue* looking after it found one person? I keep getting these stupid matches where it's me and one guy and 2 AI, and sometimes we're on the same team and it's super boring.
MatchMaking waits for almost 2 minutes before adding any AI Players. We dont want people to wait forever to get into a match so there is a cutoff point on how long we will let someone wait.
So if you are getting AI Players it means that either you or the other player has been waiting a long time and there are not enough players in the queue to make an acceptable match.
And we are continueing to tweak the match making system to make it better.
They should have options like preferable game size (3v3), how long to wait, include/exclude AI, map pref, etc. Right now its too automatic making it so no matter what your not going to satisfy everyone. By making options your narrowing that gap of what people will expect.
I would gladly wait a few minutes to get into a game I am sure to enjoy if it meets my criteria vs hoping that it randomly gets what I want.
Exactly, I should be able to pick "Skirmish" then 1v1, 2vs2 or 3vs3 and the start searching. I hate getting matched in a 1v1 with 2 AI players and then the other guy disconnects and I'm playing "online" by myself.
Look how Warhammer 40K Dawn of War does it... you can sit ther for 5 minutes waiting sometimes, but eventually you get a nice 3x3 player game. People are willing to wait, and you should give us that option. I'd rather wait a few minutes for 3vs3 than a 1vs1 with bots
