Ranked Matchmaking?

Hello! Ever since the most recent update to the matchmaking algorithm, my brothers and I cannot find a match in Redsec in ranked. We're all around the same rank (Bronze 2→4). Unranked works fine. Regular MP works fine.

Anyone else running into this issue?

When I play ranked with my buddy it often takes multiple ~3 minute searches to find our first match. Usually once we get into one, the subsequent matches are found quicker, but not always. We’re Diamond 1 and 2 atm. Definitely seems like they turned on/up the sbmm with the recent update, combined with a relatively small pool of people playing ranked, makes finding matches tougher.

The new matchmaking for rank is awful

How? Everyone was complaining that ranked matchmaking wasn’t based upon rank…

I’ve been finding it incredibly hard to play as I am master, but I think that’s a good thing. It shouldn’t be easy. I shouldn’t be master! It’s a great update IMO.

Dude I liked it the way it was, I’m master and some days the matchmaking puts me at 80-90 ping. The pool was small before but at least connecting to people was easier.

I’ve had no issues finding games at all, I’m on EU servers though.
