I was wondering if the population has reached a level where we can close the gap a little between the tiers. Maybe try 1 or 2 lvl difference between players in a match?

Fine with me but every time someone waits more than a few minutes they start posting and tweeting Russ.

Afaik the MM does this automatically and opens the valves if it can't do it in time.

I'm not sure it does that for PSR. IIRC Russ stated the "valves" for PSR are the +-2. You hit launch, it looks for opponents in your PSR, then goes up and/or down one, if players are still needed it then releases to 2 tiers.

I always reset the timer after waiting for around 20 seconds. I prefer to fight with/against players that are not lumped in thanks to the release valve.

Goes to +2 after 2 minutes according to the town hall.

Not really a guarantee, though, since It only takes one person waiting long enough to open the releases.

You can still get pulled into another waiting queue from tier 2 or 3 in 5 seconds.

However, does it work? Are matches that take longer worse for you?

I'm not sure. Never really tried to keep track of it for science.

No, because PSR does not even properly seperate skills, it would not help at all.

Simple solution double the amount of tiers and keep the level to 2.
