I love Ranked matches in any game I play, including this one, but I HATE when you go up against pussies that will even put up a damn good fight, but quit out when they're about to lose - it's so sad really...
What keeps me from playing Ranked SFIV isn't the quitters though, it's the time it takes in comparison to the last online Street Fighters - I'll fight anyone, weak or strong as long as the connection is excellent, which is why I only search for best connection - when I search for opponents who are better than me, after all the waiting, I get only ONE opponent, and he's got a red bar...
"Quick Match" isn't quick whatsoever, as you still have to choose to play or not after the list comes up...
HDRemix does it better and so much faster too - the only problem with that system was that it would show matches that were already full, and you wouldn't know till you already selected it - and you'd have to search all over again - but I read lately that they patched that so it's all good now...
I got all of the Ranked Achievements on the first day, so really, I play Ranked only for the pure competition since I love a challenge, but my Player Matches probably more than triple the amount of Ranked Matches I've played, due to how much easier it is to get a Player Match than a Ranked - and if a loser DOES quit, it's only after the match is over...
If they update the ease of finding Ranked matches, and punish the bastards that quit more strictly, I'll play more Ranked in a heartbeat...
