A thing that I have noticed is that ranked matches are not really "ranked." I believe ranked matches should be changed so that players are only fighting people with 100 elo above and below them. Don't understand what I mean? Well if a player is 1400 in ranked I believe he should only fight people 100 points above him (1500) and only 100 points below him (1400). I am in the 1400s but I was in the 1500s. The reason for the elo drop was that I was put against people ranked 1700&1800. The problem is I lose 5-10 elo each time I die to these people and it gets annoying because I can lose large amounts of elo due to these highly skilled players. It is also annoying to play against 1200-1100 elo players because they are way below my skill level so I gain a little bit of elo from killing them but often it is so small it is a waste of a ranked match. Now if this were to be added the main problem I see is if there isnt anyone in the queue that is your skill level. The only suggestion I have for that issue is have the automatch thing wait 20-30 seconds before upping the search range by 100 points below and above you. Another potential issue I see with this is that there are smaller ladders than MCSG which is my main ladder. A solution to this would be have a larger search range for the less popular ladders. For instance instead of 100 points above and below maybe 200 points. I know other servers do this such as Kohi and it makes it a lot more fun because you are fighting people you can't just GG10 or get GG10ed by. My theory is that this will improve players PVP a lot more than just regular ranked. Let me know what you think! Also as a side note please stop misleading players with the vote thing. And pls, pls, pls, pls, FIX THE LAG. It is one of the worst servers in terms of lag that I have ever played on. If this is not your #1 priority already please make it. Usually I lose 1 or 2 ranked matches I should win because of it and that really gets my gears going.

I liked the "fix the lag" idea

Queues will take forever with this method. We dont have enough population for this.

A system like this was implemented a while back, and everyone hated it so we took it off.

I actually agree with this idea, if only players with high elo are playing ranked people with less skill will waste their matches and gain no elo. Also if a high ranked player lags out in a fight to a low ranked player the amount of elo lost is unnecessary.

Do this, but only in fucking MCSG
