Which do you play more? Which do you prefer?
If you play Bo1, would you prefer Bo3 if time wasn't a factor?

External link →Hmmm… the major downside to more options would be wait times. Towards the end of sets I’ve waited 10+ minutes for a Traditional draft to fire… splitting Traditional drafters into two queues might not be viable.
This is correct - Bo3 Draft doesn't have enough players for two queues, so we have to pick ranked or unranked.
Both ranked & unranked draft are interesting - Ranked keeps players in close, exciting games by pairing them with players closer to their skill level, while unranked rewards high-skill players with higher winrates (since they're not being skill-matched).
We opted for making Bo3 the unranked version, because both mirror the way draft is played in tabletop. We tried having Bo3 be ranked in early beta, but players at the time quickly and clearly responded that they preferred unranked.
