Hi guys, I'd like to know if wild is really that empty or why am i getting matched with people i have played already with. (not only once or twice...) I end up meeting them around 4 times a session. Also do I get matched with r3 people while I am sitting on r5 or vice versa when i was 4 i got matched with a r6... Wild is really Wild hum? Does the wild format just have too little people playing on it? Otherwise i cant seem to figure out i encounter the same people^^
I play on EU and am at R5 with 5 stars now.. anyone else had this experience?
I do not have exact numbers, but I think Wild has less than 10% of the playerbase of standard. You are at a high rank early in the season, so it is even more obvious.
Hence little response to your thread in the Wild forum...
Ah ok I guess thats true.. i wanted to push for legend but there is not enough diversity atm :( and quite boring to play with the same ppl over and over again...
It's early~ish in the season and only the really competitive players would be found pushing towards legend right now. In about a week there will be way more. Sadly Wild has few players and even fewer at higher ranks and Legend. Be thankful that you are playing on EU though. In our server we get about 800 to 100+ legend players every season, NA has something like 200 players so there is way less diversity there.

I agree that Wild has about 10% of players that Standard enjoys which leads to much less diversity and regularly queuing into the same person. I just started my wild climb and played the same person 3 times at rank 14! I dont like to counter-queue so when i'm above rank 5 in wild i like to take a 1 minute break between games.
Evidence in attached image: If you look at hsreplay.com homepage it lists the top cards played over the last 5 minutes by game mode at the bottom of the page. The top standard card Corridor Creeper was played ~600 to 650 times. In Wild, the most popular card Corridor Creeper was played ~25 to 30 times in the last 5 mins. Thats a 20x difference!! I have casually monitored this ratio for a couple of months and it used to be more like 10x. I think that Wild is less popular now than it was before KaC released.
More players (like me) will start coming back to Wild as the standard meta gets more stale but the game mode will always be DWARFED by standard unless Team 5 gives more incentives for playing Wild.
Team 5, if you're out there, please give a separate reward chest for Wild!

Once I played with the same guy 7 time, hot dang it looked like a tournament.
Wild is kinda empty at those ranks this is why you meet those Ranks, in Legend atm i guess there will be around 150 players
Also, Did you consider the time? Some people might have returned to school/work this days and you might played in working hours
