30 minutes waiting in ranked gold qualification, can you feel the pain? pls correct this problem WG @MrConway

[KillStealBoss]

Not enough people are playing ranked mate in the high league. Especially at this hour and it's a weekday.

What are you hoping for?

You're two too short for a 7v7, so you could:

• Have a lovely coop style bot to make up the numbers
• Play 6v6
• Adjust Ranked so it's actually fun and engaging to play and attracts more players

not sure what the least worst option is

 

Usually I quite enjoy rolling around in the Lightning in silver but this T10 stuff is just plain horrid. Most of the problem is the vile hate in the chat which seems so much worse this time round for some reason.

1) How many people have made it to Gold already?

2) Midnight on a weekday

3) You're playing a supership BB: the MM has to put another supership BB on the enemy team, right?

You’re right, it implies that :

we should not improve skills for higher leagues 

we should not play quit so often 

we should not play superships

WG needs to correct these things

Or that people have lives outside of the game. Not everyone has the time to blitz through rank...

 

I myself usually play to get around 3 to 4 stars a day. Some days I'll be on a losing streak so I quit early. 

[Miscommunication_dept]

When I see how many full time streamers are still in bronze you can see that getting to good requires a strong commitment. 
 

I got to golf yesterday but I was only waiting 5-10 minutes.

There are so few playing that you start to understand certain players tactics.

 

My biggest problem with ranked gold was how many Ragnars there are!!

Skill? In sprint ranked?  There is no skill needed in this mode.
it’s just that there is not enough people that want to bother to play this mode, esp. good players who know it’s not worth the time spent, hence they stay mostly in silver and bronze leagues.  Don’t worry in a day or two all 40% wr players will fill the gold league up.

Even in silver, the WR average of the players is above 50%, which is a significant improvement over randoms, and it feels. Unfortunatelly, the toxicity raises, too, as people do not really want to play against skilled people, contrary to what they claim when crying for skill based match making.

I'd tend to say that people don't want to play with bad players.

No.

It's only the second sprint of this season, so few people have made it to gold yet. It's basically your own choice whether you want to wait a bit more or not play ranked for a week or so. Next sprint there will be enough people in gold.

this is true,at silver rank, people are toxic EVERY game. People are frustrated beacouse they depend on the other people, WG doesnt give a sh.t about this problem since they showed us with superships in all leagues ,and they cant understand a lot of people can handle tier 10

A rather uncomfortable number of players are showing an antisocial or very unskilled play style. Lemming train to the uncontested cap, radar cruisers moving away from the enemy, camping at the uncontested cap, not moving against a weak enemy flank. All kinds of unnecessary, stupid or cowardly behaviour that causes entirely avoidable losses. 

If you have a couple of those in a row I get stressed. I play DD and actively contest caps and hunt enemy DDs. I do that pretty well, with a high fifties WR. If I am risking all and am casually let down by lazy campers and dodgers, I can get salty. 

Sorry, I am just human.

Lets be real. This is weegee's game. Of course that will happen 

[Animalul2012]

Not enough people in gold league because the extra big effort compared to the other leagues is not worth the rewards? Sure WG should do something about it but still...

You are also playing a supership, you can be parried with another enemy supership of the same type/class so if you are the only one playing a super BB in this example or a super ship in general then you might as well wait the entire day cause you probably wont play a single match.

[Seraphice]

Hey!

As many other users have already pointed out, not many players have reached the gold league of this ranked season yet, so your queue times will be pretty significant. When you are among the first couple people who do, your queue times will be significant until more users reach the league. There is not much we can do about that unfortunately.

Additionally the times at which you play influence your waiting time as well. Playing in the middle of the night or early in the morning will usually net you longer queue times as queuing up in the evening.

Oh btw, windows key + print screen button for next time ;)

Fair seas capain!

people dont want to play with bad players on their team but certainly want them on the enemy team.

Good players on your own team will after all be balanced out by good players on the enemy team equalizing it.

[AkerJack]

I think that for some reason a lot of people don't want yo get promoted, you get almost same rewards for less victories...

I was trying to point out where the saltiness comes from.

I tend to find the saltiness is directed to the bad players in the team as opposed to the good players in the enemy team, as @ Ocsimano18 stated the opposite.

As long as they use ranked as a test platform all people I know stopped playing ranked... That's not what ranked is for

[anonym_Vo989ccPu755]

Sometimes you see things on this forum that boggles my mind.

 

OP joined 15/04/2020 and has already 27336 battles. Between 15/04/2020 and now there are 595 days. That makes +/- 46 games a day or over 9 hours of playtime each day for 595 day straight.

 

And somehow OP is wondering why he has to wait in ranked gold. Maybe people are playing less than you and  need more days/weeks to reach ranked gold? Maybe the problem doesn't lay with the game or other players. Maybe it lays with the time you spend on the game?

Imagine playing gold league. 

The amount of work needed for only a bit of extra rewards is.... insane. 

No thanks! I'll just enjoy my 1 sec queue times in Bronze.

I sometimes think silver games are just that little bit less terrible and annoying than bronze. Also depends on which sprint it is. Last sprint was horrible. SOS!
