Dunno if Blizzard can actually put my past lives on the ladder. They did make Starcraft itself, though, which suggests that something like this might meaningfully be possible. Imagine playing your third grade teacher twenty years later as Zerg. This would at least bring down queue times.

Thank god we have a translator in the house...honestly I do not know, b/c I play mainly only Koreans... I wonder if you have fast enough speed, if it is pairing you vs Korean players? I get long que times and mostly Non-Korean players on other servers, but when I play on KR server it takes 10-20 seconds to get a game, and I play only vs Koreans mainly....but it doesn't seem like many other people have this experience at the moment. I'm at 13 Ping / 120+ Mbps DL / 10+ Mbps UP, not that it should matter, but I play with no lag every game vs Korean players, TR 14 / TR 16. | ||

But there are actually multiple versions of bw usa-1. like bw usa-2, 3, and so forth. I don't understand why they do this when there are hardly any people in a single channel. Just have everyone in the same place from the start. let them migrate to other channels on their own. right now it is rare to see anyone type in chat. SC:R already has few people as it is, don't split us up automatically. | ||

Thisssssssss. There are usually around 500-1000 players online simultaneously on US East or West. I don't understand why I'm being put in a channel with like two to five people. That makes no sense. Why do they try to divide us? We need Shia Lebeouf. | ||

500 seconds++ on average wait time, only to play someone 400 points lower, and getting +5 points. Go back to ladder. Another 500 seconds. +5 points again. Rinse and repeat. The time to wait isn't worth the opponent. I don't even care about points, but I do care about the skill of the person I am playing... I'm waiting longer than the length of the games because the opponent dies to 3 dragoons; definitely a problem with that one. | ||

I'm working from home today so I just queue up, get some work done, and by then, a game starts. 12pm now and the queue times are not improving at all. | ||

It is now 4pm ET, and facing 500+ second queues again. I'm sure we can all agree that this is a more regular time to be "playing" The point of these updates is to showcase that regardless of the time, MMR, server played on (east vs korea), something is just inherently wrong with this ladder system regarding the algorithm used to match players (TR algorithm or whatever Blizzard is using) | ||
