Expanding Quick Match Search

General Discussion
1

Please let me disable it. I never want it to expand, I’ll wait for 10 minutes.

Currently I’m cancelling the queue every time it expands, I imagine this is inflating queue times unnecessarily.

Same I’d rather wait 20 or 30 minutes then “anyone goes” mode.
I have no desire to play with your noobs.

This is actually a good idea, letting people who wish to wait longer wait longer.

Although, would need to measure the overall impact on queue times (I don’t think it would be much)

Uh, so play ranked queue, if you do not want “anything goes”

All the delay will mean is that the level of players will be more closely matched versus an expanded search. Which ranked already focuses heavily on (due to hero selection being after the match found).

This, I want to minimize rainbow games. I am willing to wait longer in the queue to make this happen.

The draft modes already optimize MMR and there’s no compositions to worry about.

This should appease both camps. Let people who want faster queues opt into them by expanding their search from the start, and let me wait longer in the queue to get a better quality game.

We can’t have BOTH, better matchmaking and shot QUEUE, the game is not perfect but i prefer and the majority too i guess, wait more, than have a horrible game at all POINT ! People are never happy :joy:

Agreed, I don’t want expanded search either, if your suggestion helps to lower overall queue times it sounds like a good idea.

We can if there was an option for it.

It would literally be the same as the new Ranked merger, you still have the option to get into games with rainbow matchups faster if you want, but you can also solo queue in the new Ranked.

sorry man but i Don’t want more split of the player base.

We have QM, TL, Unranked draft, BRAWL, RANKED and now you want QM with no balance research.

Sorry but no, if you want a lot you know what that mean ? Not enough player !

What part of TL and HL are being merged is being lost?

Ranked isn’t worth it. Knowing full well people care about rank, other players (namely casual piece of horse poo players will purposely sabotage it if for any reason they suck at the game and they want everyone to experience it also).

Ranked is also LIQUID GARBAGE right now because it offers XP and stuff … more than any other game mode… which defeats the purpose of getting people in there who are ONLY serious about ranked. It’s like “come zombie bronze people come here to get your dumb characters leveled so you can get your skins and mountz” What a STUPID thing to do knowing more than half the player base is absolutely COMATOSE.

Lastly Blizzard doesn’t’ actually know how to rank /place people in there anyway. So there’s that. QM was fine a few weeks ago before whatever they did to add an hour or two queue times daily… just for the sake of 10% of NOOOOOB players and their total and complete reliance on a tank/healer to carry them. Just one more way Blizzard is looking to 86 the game faster than naturally. They are doing a good job of it too.

P. S. Team league is even more out of the question than HL due to fact of master to bronze sinkers/paid accounts and Blizzard’s absolute refusal to acknowledge and fix that problem.

Point is if Blizzard could manage to keep the large section or their garbage player base somewhere confined, this game would be so much better off.

What we need is :

Blind draft
Brawl
Coop vs AI
Ranked

That is all what we need, remove all the other.

Allowing people to expand from the start will create worse games. But shorten the queue.

Allowing people to choose to not allow expanded perimeters will length the queue (slightly, I imagine, and most for those who choose to not expand).

It would raise the overall queue times. I suspect it would be a minimal raise on average (0-15%) but for those who do not wish to expand it would probably be higher.

Yes, that would be the idea.

Apparently there are some players who would rather have fast queues with rainbow games. Let those players choose to expand the queue from the start.

I don’t think this would have any negative impact on queue times

19

It would have an impact. A minimal impact, but still an impact.

Although, most of the impact would probably be on those who wish to avoid expanding the search. And, well. They should know that raises queue time.

20

And that I’m fine with, I just want quality matches. I’m completely fine with spending 10 minutes in a queue if it means that I can finally play decent matches.

There should be a Drothvader queue just for you, where you are given a form that is autofilled out to show dissatisfaction, and then submitted to the forum to complain. Would really streamline your victim complex and whining.
