"Lobby count is extremely broken"

#PokemonGO: I knew the count of players in lobby was already inaccurate, but today I faced something new about this.This time, the number of players in lobby was correct if you go by the number of avatars you can scroll through. However, when the battle started, the numbers were extremely different.I saw 5 people in lobby and the number count was 5. But when initiating the fight we had 18 people. And it definitely felt like 18 based on how quick the fight was progressing.This is so misleading and really gives the wrong misrepresentation of players actually battling. This causes so many players like I to pre emptively quit the lobby if numbers are too low before the fight begins. It causes fewer players to actually start the fight when in reality there are more.I suppose now I'll have to start the battle and double check the numbers before leaving.Has anyone else had the same issue? Any techniques or methodologies you are trying to use to help fix this? via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2wUo7I3
