broken ranked schedule in Far Eastern Russia

[Sunrou]

Hello, Im from Far Eastern Russia and my ranked schedule looks like this. It seems you made ranked schedule tied to region of your Steam account because with japanese VPN schedule doesnt change. Please look into this guys

Having same problem, it is kinda better for me, but still not the best time to play. It was 17:00-20:00 and 18:00-21:00 before the update, which made some sense and was playable (even tho other ones in same category was around 00:00-03:00 and 01:00-04:00 or smth like that and those times were really bad)

Dear deadlock developers, I ask you to give back the opportunity for Russian players to play with foreign players, I live in the far east of Russia and few players play here because of this, the game search lasts 20 minutes, but when there was an international search for Russian players, the games were in 1- 2 minutes, I played with Asians and spoke to them in English and we understood each other, I didn’t meet Russians there so often, I want to compete in the rankings with a large number of players, and because of this restriction for Russians, I play every game with the same players, my gaming experience is greater and the rating is greater, and I play with players who do not even have 50 hours in the game. The selection of ratings according to my local time starts at 00:00 until 5 am, no one plays at this time, everyone is sleeping, I cannot play a single game. I want to become someone significant in this game and for this I need to play and study a lot but I can’t even play the game, it’s very sad, please do something.

I have a job and i come home around 20:30. the ranked server close at 21. I didnt have time to play 7 ranked games this week, i chose 22 for a reason. is there a way for this to maybe extend for an hour or two?

I would even argue that the usual schedule for E.U. West which is from 16-21:00 isn't suited well for the players. So hear me out on this one please:
My assumption is that the window from 16-21 is mostly because of the working people. Under this assumption i would argue that almost nobody is at home at 4 pm, but almost everybody could play until 22:00 or even 23:00. If you are home earlier, chances are you are a student and can still also play at those late hours. So my suggestions would be to extend the window to at least 22:00 or even 23:00. If there is no extension for some other reason is feasable, i would suggest to make the window from 17:00 to 22:00. This is just my opinion of course, but i think the train of thought isn't all that bad.
Thanks for reading.

Dear Valve, another player from Russian Far East, Sakhalin. Currently russian asia servers, which Far Eastern Russians play, literally unplayable. Players suffer from very small player pool to a point sometimes it feels like 11 people waiting for 12th to join matchmaking. And people are the same every time, I know all them by name. Currently it takes 1-2 hours to find game during working hours and 30-60 minutes during evening (after work). Before October 2024, it took 1-5 minutes to find a lobby.

It is obvious games have poor quality from small player pool e.g. Match ID 26634760

And I agree with ranked hours, they are completely broken.
