I'm going to give it another shot in a few.

A few more days until done with finals...

How has MM been over the last day or so?

I think they have it set up that way now. There's a way to stay with your last group, but the default is to kick you back out.

H2A and TS have been working awesome for me, but unfortunately BTB has barely worked since the last update, and that's a shame because that's my favorite. I'm tired of TS BR on Lockout.

It's still broken, yes, but the lobby thing is intentional. Before the 12/3 patch you could stay in the carnage report and it'd send you into another match with the same group of players. The 12/3 patch now makes you back out and join a new match.
