Diamond+ Ranked queue times

Oh i completely agree there arent that many diamonds compared to other ranks, that's why they should open it to let us play with plats if we don't get a match

Having everyone start together in Bronze is a failed experiment, at least in my region.  Getting Plat+ to pop is as rare as hens teeth. 

What hasn't helped was the glitch where a good number of the players who got to Plat first who play a lot just carried on getting into gold/silver lobbies to progress past Plat, through Diamond and into Apex Pred.  Means that anyone who didn't know about the glitch or didn't want to use it are now sat in a queue of 18 players waiting for Plat games to pop for 10 minutes to only then have to go back and play regular Apex.

They should reset ranked and seed the brackets up to Diamond by some of the S1 results they collected so games actually start popping.  It's not a perfect solution but it's better than people just not even bothering to queue for ranked anymore because they can't get a game.

they will 100% not reset ranked, it would enrage most of the community. They just need to open diamond/predator queues up a little bit to allow plats in so we can get queues.

yikes im sorry ☹️

It's a joke. I wish they would get bought out because they have no idea how to even fix this game. Long wait times and back when I was low gold they were putting me against people 200+ RP against me. Meanwhile I was in high gold getting Bronze 4's. [Removed - CM] is so stupid. About to just go back to overwatch because they are killing their game 

I think some kind of under-the-radar fix has been put in place.

From the way that PC players on here have been talking I think this has always been possible on PC but a week ago you could queue all night on xbox and not get into a game if there weren't people available at your league.  Now on xbox it seems that after queueing for about 12 minutes it will fill your lobby with literally anyone who is available.

Queueing last night and just decided to sit there until a game popped or until I had to put netflix on my laptop to deal with the boredom and eventually a game popped, despite the counter never moving from 17 players.  It went from 17 to instantly full.  I'm Plat, my team mates were gold and the champ squad were all bronze players.

Longest que I've ever had so far was 2 minutes. I wait way longer on almost any other ranked game. (I no life it so usually top ranks) League is a perfect example I've waited a legit 15 minutes on that before. I live East coast on NYC servers usually insta-pop except super late night 2am+

I also thought ranking was PRETTY open? I get matched with bronze/plat/diamond/gold/silver etc. I'm D3. I get paired with just about anybody honestly cause not a lot of people at the higher tiers.
