The more player there is, the less matchmaking they need, the less you care about scores.
It also leads to more randomness, diversifying how each game unfold.

Competition & wanting every game to be "e-sport ready" is what kill gaming.
You ain't playing to have fun anymore, you are playing to see who have the biggest dick and to perform in front of a public.

RTS multiplayer is crap because many are infected by "muh fair competition" eSpurt bullshit.
It's the root source of all symmetrical map & unit craps, why we do not get physics or any smart AI.

And the worst are like
>Nooo! you cannot have gameplay not balanced for PvP!
>Fun? Who care about that? I just want to feel smarter than you by following the meta and deny you victory
>non retarded AI that don't need micromanaging? So basically you just want the AI to play for you, bet you even want to play against AI your SP loser

The only way around that is to have TEAM matches, introducing randomness and infinites variables they would not accept from machines.

And I could go on with FPS where matchmaking made players incapable of learning actual teamplay, only looking at their own score.

>Every thread about multiplayer being like this is why I will never touch multiplayer
The problem is entirely the fault of "competitive" play and eSport mentality
"NO RNG FUN ALLOWED!!! THIS GAME MUST DEFINE WHICH OF US HAVE THE BIGGEST META!!!!"
(then devs manipulate the matchmaker to enforce 50-50)
