Yeah, i also dont really understand why quick play in general is still into the game. There was already no reason for playing quick play, because of the unbalanced games.
If you can choose:
- RM game with balanced teams
- RM game with unbalanced teams.
Most players will go for balanced teams. Even for EW you could already go to the lobby and get much better balanced games. Now EW goes to ranked, so that is your go to option for playing EW. Then you are left with BR only. You can only join these BR games as solo, while BR is the kind of game mode you play with friends. So they still go to the lobby for these kind of games.
I already expected this outcome when the announced quick play with pretty much no further details. When it was out, i alreade created a thread about why quick play isnt very usefull: How to make Quick Play useful?
Based on their reasoning it would make much more sense to just delete quick play from the game and move EW to ranked without removing DM from ranked. That looks like the much better solution.
Also add a better UI, so everything is much more clear and you are good to go.
