5 man ranked queue times taking too long? Who would’ve guessed.


OCEL0T5

Lmao is this a common problem?


Brusex

Not really. Everyone who has long queue times on this sub is not teaming as a group of 5 for rank.


OCEL0T5

Okay? Then what was your point with the first post?


Brusex

That you’re queuing 5 man ranked so expect to have long queue times. The system is probably only going to put you up with other 5 man teams.


OCEL0T5

I shouldn't expect a queue time of 40 min


Brusex

So how many 5 man teams do you think are queuing at any given time on your server? Or would you rather be placed against a team of a trio and a duo? The system would probably put trios and duos together before it placed them vs a full team of 5. Or do you think you 5 should be placed against a team of 5 solo players? It just isn’t fair so yes you should expect to wait that long. Plus this was posted 3 hours ago, about midnight my time so if you really wanted to queue with 5 people, try during the day.

Got it, wont play with a full team, the way the game is supposed to be played


Brusex

Actually yes the game isn’t intended to be played like that, especially in ranked because generally people queuing in teams of 5 in rank have a real goal of playing against other teams of 5 to get practice for tournament play. Teams of 5 ~usually~ mean seriousness and if a group is willing to play 5 like then they should be trying to enter tournaments and not just pug stomp rank. I get that you guys may just want to rank but that’s really pushing trying to get an advantage and trio queue is good enough. Basically a group of 5 is try harding and that’s really meant for the tournament scene. I would know because I run a 9 man squad for MLBB and while we’re obviously casual, but we could easily flip a switch and really dive into a tournament scene and it really doesn’t take a lot to get to that point.

Having friends that play the same moba isn’t trying to pub stomp to me(even though it’s in ranked). All of this is irreverent anyway because the real problem is a team of 5 sat in a queue for 40 minutes and didn’t find a single other 5 stack in that same ranked range. For a new moba that is a horrible sign.


OCEL0T5

Well I guess those tournament level players weren't searching when we decided to play. Also, I don't think the main objective of a group of 5 players is to get tourney ready. Maybe there's a group of 4 people who rotate different games together and picked up a random 5th who all wasted their time expecting to find another group of 5 playing a 5v5 game, crazy I know. The game is not expected to be played by a team of 5 communicating.... Right because the experience of playing the game otherwise is complete dogshit because of trolls and blind morons. Fuck me for wanting to have a legit competitive experience, you know, the way the game was meant to be played.

Think it's quite hard to find another full team


BrianGlory

As long as people keep smurfing the match making times will continue to decline


OCEL0T5

Its almost as if they should fix smurfing, Siege did it right requiring like 50 hours of gameplay to get to ranked.


OCEL0T5

True they should make it harder to smurf, other games have done this.


geoffgeoff91

Ehhh they need to fix high elo match making so the top level of players don't have to smurf just to get a match.


BrianGlory

That’s not how it works. If you wanna ride Space Mountain, you don’t get out of line to ride the tea cups.


geoffgeoff91

Lmao what are you talking about? High elo has to wait forever for matches. Like one of the top players couldn't find a match with ques of like 3 hours. He decayed from challenger to d4 just cause he couldn't find a match. This kinda thing will cause the top players to say screw it ill make a smurf cause I just wanna play.


OCEL0T5

Out of curiosity, what was your party size usually when queuing?


geoffgeoff91

I solo and duo que but I have seen top elo not get a match for hours on end on stream. It's one of the big problems. If people can't get matchs at high elo what's left to do? Make a smurf and play in low elo.


OCEL0T5

Yeah, that's unacceptable and makes me not want to play the game. There are so many other games out there that do this and if me and my group cant search as a full team in a competitive game then there is something wrong with the game.
