Stricter Ranked Matchmaking?

The players that this'd mostly affect are on the edges of the bell curve. It would mainly be platinum 2 and up that'd notice a difference in queue time and game quality. What the affected players should ask themselves is whether they prefer games that are both unenjoyable and inaccurate for rating, or longer queues.Keep in mind that those longer queues would only happen instead of games in which there are greater differences in your team's rating. When the matchmaker has enough players of a similar rating, it would not affect the queue time at all, or only minimally.Players closer toward the middle of the bell curve would benefit from this even more, as they would no longer face players way out of their league without having to suffer any longer queue times due to the pool of players with similar rating being greater for them.

All that would do is just bring back the old 30+ min queue times, the pvp player base isn't high enough for that right now so I'd rather just bring back duo que or leave things the way they are.

I'd wait 45 minutes for only good matches.

If I wanted to spam games I'd play unranked.

Another thing I'd like you to consider is that we can now queue from most areas of the game, unlike before the matchmaking change where you were stuck in HotM.

Gets old whenever you pass 1750 rating and expected to carry goldies vs plat2+.

We don't have player numbers for either of this options to work.

If the above image from a ranked platinum match last night is any indicator, I'm in favor of stricter ranked matchmaking.
