Good for rated PvP.

Also notice how they refer to queue syncing as queue manipulation. Just like I have called it that over and over here on these forums lol.

But Ion said “all of our modes” :face_with_raised_eyebrow: .. it should really be included for everything

Only applying to missed queues in rated, not dropped queues in non-rated is my interpretation … which should go down well here.

Also,

Giddyup.

Did he say all the modes, or did he just mean all the modes as in “all the rated pvp modes” but even then it only applies to RSS and Blitz.

He said ‘‘all of our PvP modes.’’

But it’s Ion… so.

Blitz really needed this, though.

Crazy thing is it says to prevent win trading and queue syncing but leave out 2v2, 3v3 and RBGs and unrated completely. All places queue sync happens and win trading 100% can happen in 2v2, 3v3 and RBGs. Either that they are basically saying “We only care about these two modes”.

“Across all of our modes” is what he said but yeah, its lame to not include it for unrated aswell if he just meant rated. I was really looking forward to see how unrated pvp would be with this change, with all the syncing/manipulation thats going on

They really need to limit the number of healers in epics man lol so bored of the sync teams with 10+ healers.

All those months of being gaslighted that win trading doesn’t happen.

I think it’s a stretch for anyone trying to insist this is how they see it in unrated, but I know a lot of people are going to cling to it as a sort of “gotcha” in every thread about epic BG premades for the rest of eternity.

I didn’t notice because they didn’t refer to “queue-synching” at all.

What is going on with blitz queuing is something completely different.

Nice try, tho.

It’s literally the same thing. If you are trying to sync a queue, especially declining queues it’s the same thing. You are trying to influence the queue to get the teams/results as much as possible. The only difference is one has rating tied to it and the other doesn’t. That’s it. They both have negative affects on the brackets.

How do you think teams win trade? They queue sync. How do you think players get on to teams outside of duos with others? They queue sync. Queue syncing is how you do this stuff lol. Queue syncing is quite literally queue manipulation. Because if they system intended for 10 to 25 people to all be able to queue into the same game together you wouldn’t need to queue sync lol.

Ya the crazy thing is is that win trading and queue syncing is literally what they are referring to when they say queue manipulation. I mean you have to queue sync to win trade haha.

You’re tyring to equate what the EBG communities do with what the blitz win traders are doing…they are not the same thing, not even close.
