Could be confirmation bias, but sometimes it seems bugged and requeuing fixes it.

Also highly dependent on time of day and your rank. If you're diamond or above you've got fewer peers to match with. For single queue HL I only get 300 seconds from about 4 AM until 9 AM, 200 seconds until 11 AM.

The other oddity was when I started a smurf (back before 2.0) and I played all AI games until I qualified for HL to see where it'd seed me. Queues took forever in that case.

Naw I'm real low; silver HL and bronze TL, both usually 300+ even with a 5 stack in team league. I'd assume there're plenty of low league players sitting around. I'm PST so maybe I'm on when east coast folks are asleep. I do hesitate to re-queue though, sunk cost fallacy and all, so I'll give that more goes.

Oh, if you're talking TL then yeah my time ranges are way off. Whereas HL is fine except 4 AM to 9 AM, TL for me is strictly weekdays noon - 2 AM, slightly later end time for weekends.

I got a lot of experience when I was working nights every other day trying to find when the TL scene was active :negative:

Also, 5 stack sometimes has problems if you have a wide range of skills in your party. It'll eventually just average you out but for the first few minutes it seems to seek another team that happens to be 1 plat + 4 silvers, for example.

My crew and I have been doing a lot of ranked queues lately and whenever it gives you the error that a player left or disconnected while the game was creating and kicks you back to the queue screen (which is dumb by the way) we all just relog now because if we don�t at least one person�s queue is bugged and we never can get into a game.

So is ChoGall supposed to be able to use abilities from within the Triglav? Because the movement part of the pair was piloting it and the caster part of the pair was still hurling spells from inside.

How do I bug report?

Not a bug, dragon knight and garden terror work the same way. Cho controls the vehicle, gall can still throw spells.

So do you think that it should remove more people from the battlefield if Cho is piloting it? That doesn't seem fair.

I definitely think turning what's basically a mobile high HP map objective that's immune to CC into a walking turret for 3 more skills and an ult that's usable in total safety isn't the answer at least. :shrug:

Gall is already immune to CC for what's that worth.

Lord_Magmar: Feb 24, 2015; "Welcome to pound town, Slifer slacker!"

Aside from the map objective but that's what Cho'Gall by and large already do. Garden Terror and Dragin Knight also allow Gall to keep casting.

Now a possible option is to allow Cho'Gall to "solo" pilot the thing, with the same rules as normal. That is a Cho moves and Gall casts.

I think the limitation is that gall can't channel any map objects.

It's sub-optimal for Chogall to pilot vehicles because Cho can't use his E to set up detonations for Galls E.

This. Cho'Gall should not be in there. Put in your other 2 non-healers.

Triglav has a shield ability that benefits Cho'Gall if they're standing nearby. Do that instead.

You need to remember these are just the edgelords who spam things like that. The easiest way to tell who not to play with in sagoons is to look for the people saying "don't play with tcjimbo".
