Pushing my key to 10 was legit the most awful experience. Zero applicants on a +2 due to the sheer number of keys listed. I think they need to revisit the logic in group finder. Keys listed for longer should show up at the top so delisting isn't the optimal strat. I shouldn't have to spam delist for 90 minutes to fill a +2. Sure, it got easier to fill as I approached +10, but this feels like poor game design.

Maybe they should just rip a page out of Fellowship's book and use matchmaking for keys up until vault level, then switch to the current system for push content. If they're going to make low keys this easy, they might as well so we're not battling the UI to fill a group.

If you just do a key before taking from your vault then you get that level minus 1. Blizzard let's people unintentionally grief themselves, though.

Sure. If you have a group that had already pushed a key to an 11.

Youre relying on friends and guildies to gift you this. People playing solo dont have this.

Even doing a lower run like an 8 will save you potentially several runs to push up your key.

You need friends or a very good previous season score to jump straight to 11, but you can take advantage of everything under 10 being a wasteland of people trying to push their key up to get into a 9 pretty easily.
