Wider elo range for regions with less players?
I'm not sure if this has been adressed before, but its becoming kind of a problem for me and probably other high ranked players on different regions. Okay, what I mean by this is that for regions with generally less players, like AS and SA, if you're a highly ranked player, you will have trouble finding a match. The only time I could actually find a match in ranked was when I was doing my qualifying matches, but that was only because I was slowly climbing up the system and above the average rank, where most players are. Now that I'm emerald 5, I have only played a single ranked match in build since my qualifying matches and even when waiting in the queue for 5 minutes, I still do not find the match. Yes, I do get the "range expanded"" message, but I believe there is a point when the range stops expanding and yet still I cannot find a match just due to the player to rank ratio. What I'm suggesting is, at least do not limit the range expandion in less populated proxies so I and others, can actually find a ranked match.

before the reset I had problems with this on US at peak time. Makes me think its a problem with the match making algorithm not the amount of players.

in any region, with any ladder besides build, you will have a problem getting into a match. Especially if you're gold+

+1 even tho I only play EU but still #MakeBadlionGreatAgain

I mean widening the range for matchmaking would make it more realistic like you don't get matched with some1 that is your rank in an UHC either

I would say base it on less played ladders not regions. Even though eu has a big playerbase I have to wait SOO long
