What's everyone's ranked wait times?

Doesn't pop until 5-6 pm PST on Aether (Crystal/Diamond/Plat) and when it does, it's usually just the one game that is not very competitive.

Ranked PVP has been a failed experiment. You can generate "some" artificial interest by giving new better rewards, but I just don't see people liking the mode. Maybe some of you did at first, I don't know, but the feedback I see now from the community is very negative. Even the Twitter post from the NA team announcing Season 4 was all negative comments and barely any likes.

To keep a ranked season active for 2 months, you need the "hardcore" player base that plays almost every night. Not the one person playing a game here and there to level their battle pass. And those people are gone. I'm not sure they'll be coming back with better rewards, but it wouldn't hurt.

Season 1 and a little bit of Season 2 were an anomaly because it came at a time when there was not much going on and it was fresh with a bunch of new rewards to get. That level of activity was never going to be sustainable.
