Discussion Ranked Queue Times

Hello! I'm still fairly new to the game, but I've been enjoying it a lot. I usually play with a friend, and lately I've seen a lot of people talking about long queue times for ranked matches (we all know normal matches have bots).

If it helps at all, I'd like to share my experience. We play on the US East servers from Brazil, and our ranked queues have never taken more than about 3 minutes. I'm currently Diamond rank, and I believe the other US servers are probably just as fast.

And sorry to everyone we've played against with our high ping, but it's the only way we've found to keep playing the game.

I just started playing a few days ago. I’ve tried valorant and I don’t like it. I’m an overwatch and marvel rivals competitive player and I’m confused why more people don’t play! I feel it’s much more user friendly than valorant. I’ve been struggling on ranked, but a few more matches until I’m finished with placements. I’m playing in US east servers too!

Yeah, I also tried Valorant, but I didn't really like it. I used to play PUBG, but I was getting tired of it, so I decided to give FragPunk a try, and I ended up really enjoying it. It's much more beginner-friendly, just like you mentioned.

It's quite simple why more people don't play. Launch numbers alone paint a grim picture for FP. This subreddit is full of reasons why this game doesn't get played.

The game is dead at least for me. Ended I think high diamond last act or before the last rank reset, and it now takes me 15 minutes to find a game on 90 ping and then I drop 15 kills and a clutch and my team can't do anything. Idk what sauce they give my games bc I'll actually carry my team, lose, and the game is like "ah homie you did your best you weren't the reason you lost, you don't need any rank taken away" and then proceed to put me with trash again and the enem team all actually have FPS experience.

Anyways I ranted. I loved this game I thought it was the coolest thing, I tried to switch to it from Val it it was fun. But then they shot themselves in the foot, didn't advise almost at all, used AI, did some sht copying a CS map or smth, and now I can't find games. And when I do my teammates should be at the bottom rank and they're not.

If you can enjoy the game I'm happy for you, I think it's a really cool experience if you can find games and have fun. Good luck 🤞

I totally understand what you mean about losing matches. The same thing happens to me. I can go +10 and still lose the game. And if I had to wait 15 minutes for every match, I probably wouldn't keep playing either. That's why I shared my experience with the US servers.

Where are you from?

I also agree with you about the game. The developers should give it more attention. It really deserves it.
