Players across many servers have reported long queue times in Warzone Ranked Play. This phenomenon is not natural and the developers have said that it is completely unintentional. The issue is currently under investigation: however, the devs have revealed that in most cases, the long queue times are due to squads having large differences in rank brackets.

This article further explains the long queue time faced by players in Warzone Ranked play.


Longer-than-intended queue times in Warzone Ranked Play explained by devs

The differences in rank brackets in a singular squad can explain the long queue times, as suggested by the devs at Raven Software. The issue may be caused due to the game having a difficult time finding squads that have a similar level of skill set.

Warzone Ranked Play utilizes skill-based matchmaking, which means players will only be matched with others who have roughly similar skill levels. To keep the playing field somewhat leveled, the game attempts to match players within similar rank brackets. However, this becomes challenging when a squad has massive differences in the ranks of each player.

This could potentially explain why the queue times are longer than intended in Warzone. However, it's clear that the issue has caught the attention of the developers and a fix should be released soon. It's advisable to keep an eye on the official Call of Duty social media handles to stay updated regarding the matchmaking problems.
