Competitive Matchmaking is it bugged?

[SweatyConphetti]

Hello, as the title suggests is there a potential of the Competitive playlist being bugged? I have spent over three hours this past week trying to find a game and yes both solo and in a fire-team of three... and when I finally see the progress go from 1/6 to 2/6 or higher I'm kicked due to inactivity. I'm trying to complete the three matches per reset however every week its the same issue and I haven't been able to progress from Gold 3 since, well I don't remember.

I can't even get the competitive weapons as I require to complete three matches which is silly IMO, why lock it? If the issue is the lack of player base then unlock them and make it not require three matches to complete. I've tried to keep it a level headed approach while posting this but my god this has been happening since before the bad press even before final shape. As of writing this post there is currently around 21,000 players according to Steam Charts and you're telling me there's not even six players in the competitive playlist.

At this stage just pair me with higher skilled players and ill happily take a loss just to complete these awful gates matches.

The queue time is insane and feels like whenever you are defeated multiple times. The queue time goes in a loop for 22 minutes and then kick you out of the ''search''.
This problem occurred to me back in 2022 and since then I'm no longer trying.
