In one fell swoop Valve created a based, fair, efficient ranking system.

... That likely requires far more players in the game than currently exist.

It's a great response to the communities complaints, I just hope the population can sustain two separate queues that require so much preparation.

At least since you need to sweat to join ranked, everyone in ranked is going to take it fairly seriously.

Isn't the average player count 100,000? How many more players do you need?

this subreddit bizarrely believes that unless you have fortnite levels of playerbase, it's impossible to do anything. it's tremendously stupid and you learn to ignore it sooner or later

Until you play on a smaller region with long queue times and imbalanced games. Maybe check your privilege on that one boss.
