Once I make the move to Serpents I'll try to queue up more often so I can get shieldspanked.
I don't think it has anything to do with opponents being flagged, though I can see why that doesn't make any sense at first.
People are guessing that it's the picking/sorting methods used by the queue itself. PVP's got fucked up priorities: It will always try to make 24v24v24. So if you wind up with 24 Flames, 24 Adders and 22 Maelstrom, we think that rather than splitting people into an 8v8v8, another 8v8v8, and then looking for one Mael to do a third 8v8v8, it holds EVERYBODY to fill that 24man.
If, say, then 5 more Adders flag and a party of 2 Maelstrom friends flag and 19 more Flames flag all at the same moment, the game will not move one solo guy from the initial 71/72 bracket and throw in that party of 2. It'll instead make a second 72 bracket with 19/5/2 and wait to fill those slots.
So now we have two games, both not full, and the game will not sort people into 8v8v8 unless it seems to have less than 8 people for each faction "in reserve."
tl;dr: Matchmaking is broken.
