Sounds more like a playerbase problem rather than a problem with the game. Paladins is a hero shooter very similar to Overwatch and while the playerbase (EU) isnt that big ive been finding matches for years now whenever i feel like.

now if this worked in mobile with a controller…

Csgo has not been renamed. Cs2 is a brand new game on a new engine that has replaced csgo on steam (seamlessly) as without the userbase would probably have stuck with csgo for at least the next year or two. If we look at the lifespan csgo had, the odds of another rebranding/renaming in the next 10 years is pretty unlikely. Csgo is still playable through the steam properties of cs2. Hope this still helps, if a bit late.
