SoloQ MMR/queues/rating gain

Is there something wrong with soloq matchmaking?

Just seems really stupid lately.

Example:
I play warrior with 2400 soloq rating and druid healer friend with 2400 rating is queuing at the same time.
He gets in the game at 1/4 and Iam still waiting.
He finished his arena and queues again.
His que pops again, meanwhile iam still waiting at 4/4 8 minutes in queue.
He plays with 2k teammates and i play with 1900 healer and loose -20 rating because of low rated healer at 2400 game.

I decide to relog to my 2k alt warrior and i get a game with my friend 2400 druid and 2.3k lock vs all 2.3k team.


How am I supossed to gain rating above 2300 when biggest rating gain in last 60 games was +9(usually its 5-7) and my smallest rating loss was -18?
Iam sick of waiting 5+ minutes in queue and finishing the day with 15 wins 5 losses for +15 rating (or 0-2 for -40).

When i asked GM about this almost 6 months ago he told me that soloq rating is not working as intented and would be fixed, but i still dont see any change.

Why i dont get matched with people at my rating when they are queing? But instead i get 1.9k-2k players that simply cant play at my rating.

try to play between 5-7 pm thats when the population is the highest and higher people queue or play with a heal.
if you queue vs. lower teams all the time you can't gain any rating so I would not recommend to queue when there are not teams at your rating. you get +3-5 and can potentionally lose 18-20 if your mmr range extends 4/4.

more people play isle/bgs/duels than soloq/2v2/3v3 now and the playerbase shrinks more and more. try to play what most people play which is isle. other than that I would not recommend to play unless its 5-7 pm realmtime.

i always played during peak times when there is 900+- players


i just gave up playing on that server, nobody even cares about it anyway

my last 10 losses were all -18 -20
and my biggest win was +5 literally have 40-10 w/l ratio for 0 rating what a joke ahahaha

Hey man, we played that night. I was on Rshaman, when we were talking about rating and what not.
It's so real, I needed like 4+ Games for +5 to recover from one game ^^
Was good games tho, with that funny balance oh my haha.
