Ok so, this patch, yeah, so cool.... BUT!

Everytime i finish a match, my monkey brain autoclaves A button, to start searching for the next 2v2 match. and PSYONIX HAD TO MAKE , THE WONDERFUL DECISION, THAT I MOST PROBABLY WANT TO CLIC, THE FIRST THING QFTER FINISHING A MATCH, THE CREATE GROUP BUTTON,!!!

So... okay... I may be over reacting. But it seriously happens to me EVERYTIME. I finish a match, and I clic on the create group, just for the message "you are already in a group with your teammate". Likes, why dude? Why? Why make it automatic that the predetermined position of the selector is in create group, if the option isn't even necessary. PD: Sorry, I just had to vent this frustration somewhere. I find it odly highly irritating...

It is a bug.

Yep. We are aware of this. Totally an unintended bug.
