I'll try my best to explain this issue, it isn't just a generic "bring back elo" rant post. I actually like the idea and the concept of the new ranking system and it works well for NA and EU players, but for AU (and most likely asia), the ranking system just doesnt work…

Same player over and over…
If you just take a look at my arena pvp stats, you can see that I am basically fighting the same people over and over. If someone is better then me, they can continue to snipe me over and over, yes they are not intentionally sniping me, but they are still getting in games with me and killing me sometimes up to 4 times in a row. You could easily get paired up with the same person like 9 times in a row. This probably isn't an issue for eu and na because they have a large playerbase and the chances of fighting someone 3+ times or more are quite low as there are multiple people near your league queuing up for a match. However on au this happens almost all the time, this makes getting high ranks a luck based hit or miss that is dependant on how lucky you are with your queueing.

Build UHC is overplayed on au (Ladder inflation)
On au, any ladder that isn't build uhc barely get players. Lets take ranked nodebuff on au as an example. For the first couple matches you will be able to find games without an issue, but once you progress up the ranks there will be like 3 other people in au that also have good rankings for ranked nodebuff. Basically what i'm saying is that you won't be able to find any games on au without waiting 10 minutes once you get to a certain ranking (discluding build uhc).

So ye, build uhc is just fighting the same person over and over and if your decent at other kits you will barely find games for them, this is a big problem with the matchmaker for smaller communities such as au or asia.

Oh, and

My suggestion is to remove rating range searching for smaller regions (except build uhc) so that anyone can fight. While this may be unfair, I certainly do not want to wait 10 minutes for one ranked match. The only time when I've played other ladders is when I go to NA, and I usually lose because I'm not used to the delay.

I'm an Asian Region player and I also get similar problems. I fight the same player over and over and take a LONG time to get into a match. I think they should just remove the Matchmaking system but I do like the Placement system. I don't care who I go up against whether its a Gold 1 or Silver 4, I'll try to win against them anyways :p
I also hate this glitch: https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/130905
