As most of you know I play 2v2 and I'm quite aware of what the problem is. ( or so I think I do )
As a 2v2 player player at capped MMR you basically will never find a game in a reasonable amount of time because the player base is incredibly low. Your queues will basically be 6minutes and 30seconds each time.
For the past year or so I've been running into this issue where if I try to play on a capped MMR account on NA/KR I spend most of my time running into this error message that says " A player you were matched with has left the game or disconnected from the service. "
I live in Thailand so playing on any server other than Singapore results in a mega-laggy game so I used server blocking to force the game to start on SG, and as a result I believe the people who harass me have found a way to completely prevent any and all games from starting on NA/KR.

The reason I'm making this post, is because it's gotten to the point where even after turning off the server blocking method I can't get any games to start at any time of the day if I try to play at a capped MMR. If anyone knows how to circumvent this please let me know.
Thanks

Do you believe that someone has created a hack to intentionally block your games?
Have you tried an unranked 2v2, or other team game modes including 3v3 and 4v4 to ascertain if the issue is purely due to MMR matching issues on ranked 2v2s?
Have you tried using any of your other accounts?

Unless the hacker wins the game, that seems like a really useless and hack to make. There are much more likely explanations. I am sorry the gaming experience is not better for you.
I have watched your stream some times, and found it great that you explored 2v2 to such depth!

It may be a good time to change your life and do something else other than sc2 streaming (no sarcasm). When a door closes, another one opens.

not a hack. the reason it happens even if u turn ur blocker off is because the other person is likely using a blocker to block whatever server it is trying to put you on.

Do you think someone has 24 hours a day 7 days a week to block the games from starting? Either it's a scripted bot relogging when the game pops, or it's some kind of hack I would think.
I think the person is using the server blocking to block every single server, so regardless of whether you're using a blocker or not, no games can start because all the servers are being blocked.
In 1v1 it doesnt matter because you don't queue into the same account all the time, but in 2v2 if the bot is at least 4k mmr you won't run into a different account.

U can't block NA, the games starting process uses NA servers. So blocking them would result in none of your games being able to start.

Have you considered being less toxic? If there is some massive conspiracy to prevent you from queueing in 2v2* then it's probably because people don't want to play videogames with you.
*There definitely isn't. This is clearly because of server blocking in a limited player pool. Even if you aren't personally blocking any servers, your ping to every other server is probably so bad that Battlenet only ever considers placing you on Singapore, and so you still won't get games against people who are blocking Singapore. Try blocking Singapore yourself and see if that helps.

Other people use the same program you use to block Singapore server. No one wants to play on that server with 300 ms ping for the same reason you don't want to play on other servers with 300ms ping. The fact that Singapore is "part" of the na server is ridiculous.
They arent harassing you it's just common knowledge now to block that server and AUS and brazil if you dont want to lose to ping. Sorry to say but since you seem to be the outlier here you will probably have to unblock the other servers or get used to this

Yeah that is really a shitty situation.
People shouldn't be thrown into 300 ping despite having good internet and living next to the server, so of course people block those servers. They shouldn't even have to, because the game shouldn't match that far (or it should at least have an opt-out which the matchmaker is aware of).
You (Protech) being in Thailand while playing on USA servers is going to leave you as the outlier on the server that everybody is blocking.
The matchmaker is not aware of server blocks so shit breaks and the queue doesn't work when there aren't many people in the appropriate MMR range and those people are blocking servers.
Your best bet might be to play on a different region like EU because they don't have the same problem of servers being hundreds of milliseconds apart - they're all close together and indistinguishable from one another. Without that problem, nobody has to server block so nobody does. Without server blocks, the queues don't fail. All of the servers are around central/western EU with basically the same ping. That would be 170 ping for you vs like 10 for your opponents but that's just how it is i guess without the playerbase to support a more local server.
The "lets put servers 200-300ms apart and put people onto them from the NA queue" was a massive failed experiment IMO

I find it hilarious that you would ask someone to help you. I was watching PracticeX's stream a few days ago and someone came to his chat accusing him of cheating vs you. I went to your stream and there you were raging about PracticeX using maphacks and threatening to ban anyone who said differently. Based on what I saw, you are both toxic and a bit delusional. Your problem might be self inflicted based on your delusional thinking, or it may actually be people targeting you. Either is plausible.
