Solo ranked is a desert

Post#1 » Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:32 am

So it might be just me, trying to queue at off-peak times, but in the last few days I couldn't join a SINGLE solo ranked match. Not one in 50+ hours of waiting.
I tried to queue in EU morning and afternoon while working, early evening or late EU night: zero. Does this mean that you can play this mode during (mayyyybe) EU prime time? Solo ranked seems to be sooooo dead and it's a pity: I'd like to know if some of you is experiencing the same.

Just wait for couple of years when majority of the playerbase get their end game gear, after that they might play ranked
Destruction: 40-BG / 40-DoK / 40-Chosen / 37-Mara / 37/Sorc / 36-SH / 36-Choppa / 24-Shaman / 16-WE
Order: 40-SW / 40-SM / 40-WP / 40-WL / 39-Kotbs / 38-BW / 33-AM / 22-WH / 16-RP / 12-Slayer

Usually order is not joining queue, when it's not popping during prime time.
Dying is no option.

order stop queing after 2 losses everyday.
I wish more players would join ranked and mixed it up a bit. It feels ranked is the same grp of 20 players every single day.

- melee shadow warrior its a disaster for 6v6s also. Destro already annoyed by that. I dont mind the burst dmg but the tankiness of the class its beyond OP.

We understand the flaws and the disliking of the current ranked version and are currently working on a whole revamped version of ranked that will become live in early 2021.

The revamped version aims to give more incentives and unique rewards to players who participate and compete well, as well as several other newer mechanics that we prefer not announcing until we're ready to launch the newer version.

At release, the only classes that would often join were those that had bis in there, namely kobs for 2 pieces, slayer for 4 pieces, wl for 3 or 4 pieces can't remember. On my kobs I managed to farm one piece just cause I wouldn't stomach the farm, and it was just that: a grind for bis. Now that the 8 pieces abilities for city sets finally works, kobs bis for small scale and 6v6 is full warlord just for the morale drain (is also ironic that the only straight full set bis is for a tipe of gameplay only a marginal minority plays), those 5 slayers that were grinding for bis finally got it, and I assume it's the same for wls. That's imo why nobody is queuing.
Other than that, I'll add that this is a MMO, solo pug q isn't enjoiable for me, if I play a MMO I want to play with my friends, not solo.

I have ~+700 matches on total whit Chosen/Choppa, doing 5-6 sometimes more rankeds everyday. Not winning due to bad destro, but im getting the emblems at least.

Best time to queue: ~+ 5pm - 10pm server time.

I appreciate your work, but I hope we'll still be able to get triumphant gear after the revamp: with a few matches per week, it's basically impossibile to get the amount needed for the sets in a reasonable time. I got one piece of triumphant and at this rate I'll get the second next summer :D
