It would still attract more people to the feast by allowing a different mentality than what is. And new healers you know you need this.

Did you only read the first part of my reply? It would be unranked if you q after the time window where ratings are enabled lets say u q at 7pm till 1am you would get rated like right now outside of that window we wouldnt get rating and rating loss. If you add a seperate q ppl will afk on leaderboards for even longer. ....And pls remove party ranked and make it unranked ty
seem a good idea to me, too much mode kill the queue everywhere anyway
That doesn't make much sense. People AFK on the leaderboards either way - if you add a separate queue they will queue for that and if you restrict ranked to specific times they will either queue while games aren't ranked, queue 8vs8 or frontlines (which happened last season) or just not play PvP at all.
The only effect you get is that you reduce competition even further by preventing people unable to queue during those times from entering the competition in the first place. Not that their rating is really comparable, what with the low comparison points, but still...
As for 4vs4 unrated in general - The way I see it, it could pan out numerous ways:
1) It becomes the new 8vs8 due to lower queues and kills the prior in the process
2) It becomes a dead queue because it either fails to deliver lower queues than 8vs8 or most people interested in 4vs4 just jump straight into ranked anyway
3) Segregation of the playerbase increases all queue times
*shrug*
I don't think it matters whether it's there or not - it doesn't address any of the systemic core issues of PvP in this game. Might as well put it in for the lulz.
