Ranked sc less pops

[Arthem]

Everyone is doing Battle for Praag atm, its popping instantly and getting Kossar helm.

[popperz]

May be. However it was perfectly fine before hotfix when praag event was already there.

[voldepoule]

Queued also for several hours without any pop.

As it has been explained already there is now a mmr max difference of ppl in the same game
u can't have ppl with more than 200 or 300 elo difference in ranked
Pb is that before fix destro farmed order over and over in matches with no mmr difference limit, resulting in many destro being in the 1k7+ and many order to be in 1k4-
So when the mmr difference fix went on it kinda need an elo reset cause now player who farmed and got farmed the first day are both stuck on the extremes of the ladder.
Btw the fix is a good thing, u can't call ranked a game where any mmr get matched together like it was the first day, 200 max range after an elo reset should be good

Can we finally admit there's a balancing problem between factions or are we still going with the "You automatically become a better player upon rolling Destro" or "just make a premade bro" memes? Or maybe the "the game isn't balanced for X vs X, but Y vs Y"? Or how about "every class is equal, l2p"? Or "muh rampage"? Or "muh WL?" You guys have so many excuses for this that it (almost) isn't funny anymore.

Seriously, we have the city stats, we all have the experience in sc's, and now we have problems in ranked too. And let's not forget it took ages for Order to even catch up in the ranked sc leaderboard before. RvR can be zerged, but with set numbers, the imbalance becomes really, really clear.

This is getting ridiculous and we all know there's a problem that has existed for years now. The factions are NOT balanced, not in the least, Destro classes are generally stronger by varying amounts, Order classes have too many specs, combos and ablilities and even classes themselves that are plainly not viable.

And please, let's not pretend "Why are you still playing" or the usual abrasiveness of this community is a counter-argument to any of these points. We all know why we are playing this game for the last weeks even if we may not talk about it on threat of ban.

just make ranked queue crossfaction mix so anyone can play vs anyone

Sorry but the ranked pb got nothing to do with faction class balance if that's what u meant

If you have high mmr players fighting low mmr players soon there wont be any players. Its already far less popular than expected. 1600 players on 20 in queue.
Waited too long for this feature, back in the days when they wanted to keep the game really balanced and gear might never go above annihilator it might have been popular. Now though with the gear not a chance. Unless you bring in worn sov like they had to on live that you can buy for gold and practically retire half the gear set to just apperance.

I'm sorry man but it really is a l2p issue

There are no pops at all, it is obviously broken right now.

Only players to get a pop are low MMR players.

I am at 1650 no pops at all, right now there are 40 people queuing and 0 games popping.
The system is way too strict for the low amount of players we have.

Solution-> revert it back to what it was, at least there were games.

Solution 2-> Make Averages, means a High mmr player can get lowbies vice versa for a balance. make it as a last solution if he has been searching for a few minutes and cant find people close to his mmr, it gets matched to this.

Solution 3-> (in my opinion the best solution) Make the system less strict, you can play with people that have 300 mmr difference between you, that way there will be a balance and games popping.

Release an idea of how your system works so you devs can get a better feedback from us the players.

You cant put such a strict system with so few players this is the result no games at all.

If you want ranked to be more popular, nerf the current invader system, otherwise once the majority have invaders why would anyone play Ranked SC besides being on top of the leaderboard? what is the point of the gear then? People will just spam cities back&forth for the best sets in the game.

Solution -> make invaders drop from cities until u get the tome, regardless of your rank and revert the previous changes, and a slight increase in the tome cost.
