Well the que “pops” to be fair… and I think I “find” a match plenty quickly… I accept and then is when it kicks me to the error message and 20 min penalty.
I don’t even mind the odd match ups of too little or too many "support roles.
But I guess I give up… PVP was the main fun I WAS having and now its been effectively taken out of the game for many of us. The PVE stuff alone is not fun enough to keep playing
Maybe post it in the right forum or contact support?
I appreciate the advise, but it has been posted all over the forums by several of us with radio silence… I think its perfectly acceptable for this to be posted in the Arena section as well.
Thanks for the bump regardless to keep it near the top.
Bad matchmaking system → Bad experience for players → More players stop playing ranked → Longer queues + Worse matchmaking system
Just wait for the end of the PVP season, they said.
i need to know whats going on , because i have the same problem
Thank you for posting… I think most of us have moved on… PVP has been disabled for many of us… I will keep coming back to bump threads as I see they get responded to.
Do you get get punished for declining? If its like gw2 and u dont than players can q ranked at same time while on headset and if the queue pops at a different time they decline. Players do this to be able to team up in non team q pvp matches or tpatch manipulate to throw games for a friend if they end up on opposite teams.
you do get 20 minutes penalty if you decline twice in 20 minutes i believe
Ah ok than that strategy definitely wouldnt be a thing here.
yea i was really glad it wont work here since i hated that in GW2

Excuse me for bothering you but did you tried to pvp on another server, just to see is the problem in the server or client
If its a client problem there might be a solution which does not involve ags/sg , also do you het penalty when match failed message appears.
If you wish contact me in discord and i would try to help with few tests and possible workarounds depending on the problem.

I used to play on EUW had no issues,played here also with no issues untill 2 weeks ago when this problem started.I entered normal matches now ,unranked and could enter without failing matchmaking,instantly.After the normal arenas qued again on competitive and enter a match with no issues.So it looks like I have to play at least one match of the nontmal non competitive ones to allow me to que competitive?
I will try today with the newly discovered trick if still issues ,I will contact you on discord.
I dont think its an issue on my end ,I still believe it must be a bug or something as such.
Many thanks for trying to help !
I am glad that you managed you play wish you best of luck and have fun! If i could help with anything let me know.
The ticket was escalated… and 3 weeks later… still NOTHING! Sad to lose players this way, but some like to pvp and if they cant… its time to swap games!
