Season 3 Matchmaking Failure

[Dimitrii]

Maybe we should ask to remove qualifiers at all. Just assign a rank according to total points and that is enough.

This doesn't matter anymore. You lose so few points when you lose in bronze, silver and gold so you can just keep trying till eventually you brute force your way through. And since you can't get matched up with unranked or bronze anymore when you trying for platinum and diamond qualifier I don't see why they need to get rid of it.

I'm not sure how it works, but if you are Silver and lose promotion, you still get +25 for win/-10 for lose all the way until you eventually get Gold? In that case losing promotions can be more beneficial for gaining ranking score than getting a Gold which i suppose gives only +25/-20?

Nah SE prevents this by capping your rank points until you successfully complete the ranking qualifiers and you rank. You will be capped at 100 points above the points needed to do qualifier. As an example you need 500 points to reach silver qualifier. Until you successfully get silver the most points you can accumulate while not being silver is 600 points. Any wins past that are wasted points that will not count.

Gold is +25 / -15

I got to Gold and cannot get a single pop for 30+ mins after ranking up unless I switch to a healer. And I'm bad at healing high tier matches. Silver was 10 min max for melee. I hope it's just bad time/weekend and not a general tendency. Probably have to wait for more people to rank up for faster matchmaking, as I don't have time to queue the whole day.
