US West server whats happening lol

[[H.E.] ✟Alric Do Rei✟]

Ah, I feel your pain! Waiting an hour for a match on US West is definitely not normal, so something weird is probably going on. Let’s break it down and see what might be causing this:

---

### **Possible Reasons for Long Queue Times:**

1. **Behavior Score Impact**:
- If your behavior score has dropped significantly (even due to that one abandon or reports), you might be placed in a lower-priority queue. This can drastically increase your wait time, as the system tries to match you with players of similar behavior scores.

2. **MMR (Matchmaking Rating)**:
- If your MMR is very high or very low, it can be harder to find balanced matches, especially during off-peak hours. The system might be struggling to find players at your skill level.

3. **Server Population**:
- US West is generally less populated than US East or Europe. If you're playing during off-peak hours (early morning or late night), there might simply not be enough players searching for matches.

4. **Game Mode**:
- If you're queueing for a less popular mode (like Captains Mode, All Random, or Turbo), it can take much longer to find a match compared to All Pick or Ranked.

5. **Server Issues**:
- Sometimes, the server itself might be having issues, like high latency or crashes, which can reduce the number of players queueing.

6. **Smurf Detection**:
- If the system suspects you're a smurf (a high-skilled player in a lower-skilled account), it might take longer to find a fair match.

---

### **What You Can Do:**

1. **Expand Your Server Selection**:
- Try queueing for **US East** as well. It’s much more populated, and the ping difference might not be too bad.

2. **Check Your Behavior Score**:
- If your behavior score is low, focus on improving it by being positive, avoiding abandons, and playing consistently.

3. **Queue During Peak Hours**:
- Try playing during evenings or weekends when more players are online.

4. **Switch Game Modes**:
- If you're queueing for a niche mode, try switching to All Pick or Ranked for faster queues.

5. **Restart the Game/Steam**:
- Sometimes, the matchmaking system glitches out. Restarting the game or Steam can help reset your connection to the servers.

6. **Check for Updates or Server Status**:
- Make sure the game is up to date, and check if there are any known server issues (you can check forums or social media for updates).

---

### **If All Else Fails:**
- If you’re still stuck in long queues, you might want to contact support or check the game’s official forums to see if others are experiencing the same issue. Sometimes, it’s just a temporary problem with the servers.

Hang in there, and hopefully, your queues get shorter soon! :D

I'll make it simple for you

Go to one of Valve's corrupt sites for buying and selling items and accounts created by their own bots and get an account with at least 8000 MMR and 11000 behavior score

Pay for Dota Plus for 12 months and buy a lot of arcane skins, after that time, you will have 1000 MMR and 500 behavior score.

Delete account.

Go back to one of those garbage sites for buying and selling items and repeat the process.

Repeat the process indefinitely

The last answer is the solution to the problem

Admin > You can close the post, so that Kagami doesn't bring it up again in 10 years

I returned to play after few years, just had 60+ min que and i wont even bother with it, game is garbage now and player base is low, their new patches are garbage just as everything else that is provided through Steam, there are no solutions for at least 1 griefer every game, report basically doesnt do anything, MMR system is extremely broken and watching players with 10k mmr literally no difference between decent player with 5k mmr

Indeed, you are 100% right.

As I said before, the solution is to BUY A BOOSTED ACCOUNT, on one of the "alternative" sites that "valve" manages.

Don't let any of the mercenaries who work on this forum try to change your mind (impossible, the truth is the truth even if it seems to be in the minority, with the propaganda of the system that these mercenaries execute on the forum)

They will tell you that you are a "Smurf" > obviously, they themselves and their system, force you to pay to play (Dota Plus+)

They don't need to ban you, you yourself will delete the garbage that the account becomes

25 minutes of Queue > 9 of 10 accept the game > the last one rejects it 100% of the time (suspicious)
Again 25 minutes of queue > Connection error of any of the players (curious, you wait 30 minutes but they only give you 20 seconds to connect) (suspicius again)
Another 25 minutes of queue > you find a game, enjoy 90% of the time, 60 minutes of authentic human scum, who will do the same possible for ruining your gaming experience (and you will receive 4-8 reports)

SOLUTION 1 > Delete the game and move on with your life

SOLUTION 2 > Buy boosted account, pay for Dota Plus
