How are they able to get games so fast?

There is no other ranked game where you find a match in milliseconds. How are they doing it?

Other games are balanced and have people starting at hgher ranks... like... in LoL you can start in Gold because your MMR is so high.

In this game EVERYONE started in Bronze... no surprise there since its first season... Season 0. When you will climb then timer will increase.

Its entirely down to player numbers. And lax matchmaking (meaning the skill differences between players is larger)

There is also the fact that in Rivals, everyone starts at the bottom. The bottom rank pool is MASSIVE.

Because its new and shiny. Thats it. Eventually people will go up the rank or start leaving all dps games or games they're losing. Then the enforcement will come and cull the population.

Ranked does not have crossplatform

[A.C.S.]

they just connect first 10 people within queue into one match and that's it.
No comparisons - that's why it is so fast.
