Matchmaking is an attempt to make P2P suck less, nothing more. It's an attempt to make P2P a viable platform against dedicated servers, and it fails miserably. Nothing beats a dedi for FPS gaming. If you don't know this yet, you haven't done enough PC gaming.
Protip for your "y do i lag in pc games hurr durr" problem: Sort your server lists by ping and choose something below 50.Much better way of putting it. Very blunt, but that's what you're best at.

So PC doesn't handle matchmaking well because of that? Meaning that PCs are, for the most part, forced to have servers?You've got it backwards. PCs are never too weak to do something a console can do. Consoles are often too weak for things PCs can do. PCs are easily capable of Matchmaking, it's just that we have dedicated servers and server lists. PC gamers don't ask for Matchmaking most of the time. I believe Counter-Strike: Global Offensive PC is going to have Matchmaking, but I know I'm not going to be using it instead of server lists.
