"Biggest Changes in Season 14

I will now go over the biggest changes of Season 14. If you want a complete list you can find them below in the next section.

Matchmaker

The matchmaker for Season 13 was a step in the right direction towards making a better matchmaking experience, but it had some serious design flaws which have been flushed out now to make a proper matchmaking experience. In other games where a match or set of rounds can last between twenty minutes and an hour players do not mind waiting five minutes to get a good fair match. Unfortunately for Minecraft the matches are very fast, as a result players need a mixture of fair matches and quick matches to keep them busy. This being said the new matchmaker:

1. Scans the rating range way faster now. It also scans based on how many players are online (really fast for regions like Asia/AU).
2. Will not remove you from the queue if you cannot find a match right away.
3. After 20 seconds of trying to find you a match will just shove you against the first player it can find if you have not found one yet.

This all being said the new matchmaker should be way faster than the old one and should make everyone really happy. During peak times you will have great matches made up since there will be players of all rating ranges online. During lower time you will still find matches but the quality of the match might not be as good (but this is the trade off we have to go with)."
It says after 20 seconds of trying to find a match it'll shove you against the first person it finds, but it's defnitely not true. On my alt I can be waiting for minutes and still not find a match.

It could be that there is nobody in the queue. That's unless you're talking about build because I think both you and the low rated player have to be in the queue for a specific amount of time. I'm not sure about this but from my experience if someone else joins who is closer rating to that player then that match is gone and the cycle starts all over.

I think they should bring back old matchmaker because it was better in my opinion..where you was able to fight some guy of 1,4k elo even you was almost 2k or 2k+ ..
