A big reason you're gonna have trouble finding matches otherwise is Rivals' already low player count due to being more niche, as well as both parties needing to have matching sets of Workshop content, otherwise they cannot play together.
IE: If you have Golden Ronald, but they don't have Golden Ronald, then you won't be able to play as both players need Golden Ronald. I imagine matchmaking is gonna pair you only with people that have your exact character downloaded, and the more niche they are on the workshop, the harder it'll be to find people to play with unless you're using the community curated packs.
