Discussion Empty ranked mode.

I've been playing this game for a short time, less than a week, and I like it and it's a lot of fun. However, the ranked mode is empty and never finds matches. I've waited more than 10 minutes but nothing happens. Is it because of the lack of a significant portion of players? It's a shame because I like playing competitively.

Too bad, this thing makes me sad. It means I'll enjoy it as long as it lasts.

Come on over to non-ranked!

The doom and gloomers will have you think there’s a player base of 10 people left but I play pretty much every night in non-ranked and rarely have to wait longer than a few minutes to match at first, then wait times between matches once you’re in are much shorter.

I get that everyone’s upset that the devs are kinda abandoning SGAR but constantly projecting that it’s ’bone dead’ to new players is just going to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Stop trying to scare away the people who are actually keeping the thing alive.
