Re: Diamond 3 to predators, will this ranked issue be fixed?

@hayhor You get master/pred in plat lobbies occasionally now.

@apostolateofDOOM Yes I know, likely due to needing them to fill queues.

And for the record I'm talking current pred and masters, not past seasons.

@OPL3XITY If they did something like what you suggest they would have to eliminate pre-mades in ranked. It would have to be entirely solo queuing. I think that would be even worse than matching D3-Preds together.

As @hayhor has suggested there just are not enough players in the Diamond, Pred and Master lobbies. There are only 500 Predators and I'd imagine about as many Master rank players. To keep them in their own lobbies would make the game nearly unplayable for them, 10% of them would have to be on at the same time in order to fill up a single lobby. If you get eliminated first, you would be sitting around for 15-18 minutes waiting for the current match to end before you could start another round.

It just won't work. The difference between most Diamond players and Predators is the squad they play on.. Everything else is fairly minimal in terms of a difference.

@DarthValtrex If you watch any masters or predator on twitch it many times takes 10 minutes or more to get a match. I cannot imagine how long it would be if they had to only play each other.

@hayhor Yeah I know, that's why I don't think they can divide it anymore. If they wanted to they would have to merge the majority of the servers together.
