Let’s take this season as example we’re now roughly in Week 9, Top players haven’t even been able to hit 2800 yet in 3v3 which has never happened before since Season 15. Even with 2v2 having it’s highest particaption and interest for players since ever before the bracket is also dying with every new day dinging and it’s continueing. For now this seems like it’s not a huge thing but let’s get more into detail.

Rating systems (there's a summary at the bottom)

Right, so I figured I’ll write another wall of text (for real this time), by explaining rating systems and the fallacy of presuming only more people can speed up queue times. History Games tend to use the chess rating systems as a basis for their own adaptions. What a rating system is, is a mathematical formula, with the philosophical purpose of attaching a number that represents a person’s skill, to the person. This means that everyone has a rating that represents a person’s hypothetical “tr…

Queueing for example at my cr right now 2300 would take up to 4 minutes queue time for a game at duelist rating.

But pointing it HERE out now once again it SHOULDN’T be this way at all. Every class should have a decent win condection against any other comp they play against (coming back to bring the player not the class) even if it’s just 2v2 or 3v3 whatever. And so near to this balance ever came Season 15 in BOTH brackets 2v2 AND 3v3.

A Proper Solo Queue (not que, that's Spanish)

This is a solid idea for a solo queue, but because human interactions and rating systems are complex on their own, it will require any reader to use their head and not be afraid to read, because I’ll link source material used for this idea and if you don’t read it then you will fail to understand what good it will do and why it’s different from previous suggestions. I’m advocating for the return of the arena servers, to join the list of the regular servers (not in an obscure place in the list o…

This is hurting Player participation very hard very very hard in this season too.
