    can't play ranked pvp

    So recently I ranked up to Platinum 4 in PvP.
    Now whenever I try to queue I never find a match. I queued to many different times (including 12-14, 19-24 (prime time I guess).
    It's frustrating, since I won't be able to achieve what I wanted to.
    I waited 10-15, over 20 and even 45 minutes already and didn't find anything.
    I'm a fairly new player but I wonder if the ranked PvP rewards have always been so bad?
    What will happen to ranked PvP in the future and how can some people grind up to 1500 stars while I can't find a single ranked game anymore?
    king regards,
    panni

    A lot of players once they reach high ranks just stop playing as their tier is secured. There's no rank decay for inactivity.
    You will find matches but not nearly as often. This has been an issue since The Feasts ranked seasons.
    Good luck to you though.
    Also King regards,
    King.

    This is not entirely true. Yes, you can secure a spot but if people surpass your credit (in crystal) you fall. And yes, you can fall off the top 100. So, if you want to stay top 100 you have to keep playing and winning, unless everyone keeps losing. If that makes any sense.

    Yeah Im sorry for you, also Light DC here.

    Im someone who adds to the problem by not playing.

    This isnt just because of no rank decay though, this is also because I have nothing to actually compete for to go further than Crystal once I reach it. The gamemode is super accessible, but without incentive that is exclusive to ranked... ya know, that's why I simply play Casual. Same currencies, no stress, same fun.

    It sounds dumb, but after four seasons of the exact same rewards with different roman numbers you simply lose interest. My apologies.

    Light PvP is completely dead, there are still people with 2 wins within top 100.

    If you check out top 100 and how many wins they got yesterday, it's only a handful of people playing during degen hours. Plat and Diamond ranks are the most dead out of them all.

    They are just killing CC ranked entirely differently by going full pepega with the full reversal of incentivisation, by making the rewards as monotonous as possible, killing off the drive of more experienced pvpers and veterans.

    And the average pvp tourist applauds them for it, while being on the forum blaming the death of CC to literally everything else except the lack of ranked-exclusive incentive.

    I genuinely hate this sub community at times.

    The "battlepass" can be progressed too quickly for something that lasts for two seasons while almost entirely being just crystals for rewards to use on a vendor that has been the same stuff since season 1 lol.

    Between that and implementing de-ranking, its pretty obvious why the ranked queue on the less populated servers is dead. While I was in favor of de-ranking, I was concerned that this could potentially happen and its clear now they should just revert the change and they need to redesign their series battlepass thing. If its gonna go for two seasons then make the battlepass have more levels with more than just crystals for rewards (or update the damn vendor).

    I like pvp just for the sake of pvp, but reality is to keep things going the mode needs incentives for the casuals to play more often. Just look at frontlines. Before they added it to a roulette and gave it exp the mode was completely empty (and rival wings is a perfect example. No one plays that mode because its not in the roulette and its rewards are ass)

    I'm usually a low crystal player and have this season hit some kind of elo hell back in plat (or maybe I just regressed in skill for some reason who knows?). I almost deranked to gold at some point after 15 successive losses.

    Queues have mostly petered out last week, so I'm stuck here. So yeah, I get the feeling. I also don't feel like going in casual games because it feels like seal clubbing tbh.

    I'm always amazed that the motive for people to actually play the game is season rewards though, and not just to have fun. I guess that's MMO crowds perhaps.
