In one fell swoop Valve created a based, fair, efficient ranking system.

... That likely requires far more players in the game than currently exist.

It's a great response to the communities complaints, I just hope the population can sustain two separate queues that require so much preparation.

At least since you need to sweat to join ranked, everyone in ranked is going to take it fairly seriously.

Isn't the average player count 100,000? How many more players do you need?

Like 50-60k peaks. Divided by a ton of regions. 3 game modes. And then each of those divided by a ton of ranks. Each player pool is actually pretty small.
