    Unbearable wait times!!

    Those wait times...

    You wait ages waiting for tournament to find enough people..
    You wait way too long in between your matches doing nothing but staring at a lobby screen.

    All in all, only %20 of time spent for tournament is actually playtime. I dont see myself bothering with that, and I think most people will give it a try and then after seeing the pointless wait times they will just move away.

    SOLUTION:
    Instead of Tournament, let us just have RANKED DUELS with fast matchmaking and queues..

    Look I understand that tournaments have some novelty, but if that novelty is coming at the cost of making me wait several times of my actual playtime.. well it is not worth it. Tournaments can still stay and be developed but please, PLEASE FIRST MAKE RANKED DUELS. Then you can start working on tournament as a novelty (although I think it is still a huge waste of development resources given how broken connections, balance, matchmaking is and there are a mountain load of unfixed bugs that have been going on for months without a fix at horizon)

    Hey Mia.Nora,

    Thanks for your feedback! It's much appreciated, and we'll take a closer look at the wait times and see what we can do.

    Have a great day,

    I always have to laugh about people complaining about the waiting time in a tournament. You obviously have NEVER EVER played any tournament ever!
    When you win or losse quickly you have to wait for the opponent, because he is still in a match!

    But i would like ranked without tourney, too.

    Frankly, regardless of the reason I am made to wait.. why would I want to wait doing nothing? What is so important about a tournament model that it justifies pointless waiting?

    I would take a non-tournament Ranked Duel mode with fast queues to find a game, and without needing wait a ton after finishing it; over whatever gimmick tournament has over ranked duels. Because frankly, there is nothing special about a tournament between some randoms, who cares who got eliminated and who moved on? People dont even know who that other guy is, neither care in the slightest.

    Mark my words, those wait times will put the nail in tournament's coffin, that is if they ever get it to working in the first place of course.
