Bro I am not asking for nerf that's absolutely not my intention, I **** hate people asking for nerf on forums
I'm just stating a reality in the mentality you get when you queue order, I dont think any order can make the same winstreak as any of the top destro, not because order are noober, but because it's harder to win on order side, but that was just a details in my previous message tho, and aswel, it's a whole, it's not JUST sh, JUST snb dok, it's also the lack of kotbs, the lack of RP, etc. It's a whole.
This must be a time of day thing because I can't say that there are rarely RP or Knights in ranked queue.

As the MMR drops hard without win-streaks, you will notice, that all those at high rank queue only, when it is known, that decent players are in queue. Outside of those times, you are not going to see them. It makes sense and there is no other way to "protect" your MMR.
If you just queue over and over no matter what and have the luck to get pops, e.g. playing no dps class, the chances are high, that your MMR tanks.
It's not very smart but maybe you just need the currency and don't care for anything else.
MMR doesn't tell a lot without knowing the context.
Dying is no option.

this "alpha test" patch is great to reduce the toxicity above 1500 mmr ;P, only got 1 pop in 3 days, was a draw no insults in the party, seems a nice thing to remember :)

solo ranked is the perfect for casual players.
maybe u should get rid of mmr and restriction of rdps vs mdps and just have fun ;)
if u split the player base in any kind it will hurt.
get back to mmr if u have hundreds of players in que.

ive noticed whenever city siege happens ranked it dead i mean 0 0 0 0 destro and 0 0 0 0 order. after city its still dead with at least 2 people queueing, ranked is only really active when its a infinite battle in the lakes with no knowledge if zones will change.

what ive come up with its either 1 or the other. keep ranked and remove city or have a longer timer for it, or scrap ranked and keep city.

My opinion at 1000 ranked matches overall:

Keep lower brackets but let high tier players to play it too whitout losing mmr on defeat and just 1 mmr for winning. Making us queue two different matches.

any change to give the players that just wna make some fights and farm the emblems a downgrade to lower tier?

uper tier and group ranked should be a special place for special players, and the other players should be able to choose if they wana join or not to this special group :)

It isn't a pet project that one forcefully added to the roadmap, it's part of what an MMO should include in its diverse aspects.

Sounds like a good idea to test, we'll have to check its pros and cons with Dalen and evaluate if it's worth being added:
If that is possible then please add a button or setting to normal scenarios so that we don't get 1 healer vs 6 and the like if we don't feel like feeding the opposite realm.

Put it back in the regular que list. Thats the biggest problem IMHO. The bracketing can still work if people can que normally. Later if it continues to have low action you could try to adjust the brackets a bit.
