mr. pineappleOPlast monthI'm around 1250 rating and i often instaqueue unranked or low gold players, would much rather wait a couple minutes to play someone around my rating

yea i feel like theres enough players playing draftout that we can sacrifice the queue time a little bit to get closer elo players

that could be good, but people have different preferences on who they want to play against, there could be something like this where you can choose your rating range like in chess.com. maybe that could be too much idk

Make it dynamic though at a certain point (like diamond) cause if you're like diamond 3 you're just gonna queue people way above you significantly more often than people below you due to +-100 rank queue

Or like dia ii you might just wait forever for queues

Alternatively maybe the queue range increases the longer you're in queue

New ranking system is on the roadmap already though, this is almost certainly part of it

only thing is that chess.com has significantly more players than draftout and i feel like a large majority of people will try to only queue ppl above them and not below them
