Its driving me crazy (still), Rift is the worst for redbars, its even got to the stage that im messaging them and folk just dont give a sh*t basically, i feel like im in a neverending loop of playing against garbage, trash people. I mean, I love the game but ive recently took a 3 and 2 week break from the game but nothing changes. I know this is just another rant but why do players that are redbar get matched? the game knows there redbar, its showing me this but yet nothing, players that are redbar should just be in a never ending loop themselves, in orbit till it improves or even better let redbars all play together.
Oh yeah, as you have guessed the match making changes that were made, not so long back, did nothing for me.

The coloured bar is an indicator of a player's connective strength and speed (latency/ping) to the servers. A few things could cause a red bar, including things you cannot change, such as your geography or a malfunction/issue with your ISP's infrastructure. However, there are a few things you can do to try and resolve it. Try the suggestions below and let me know how they go. • Unplug your console for a minute (to fully clear the cache) and then test things out. • While your console is fully off, unplug your router/modem for a minute to fully restart it and then test things out. • If you're on a wireless connection, definitely try a wired/ethernet connection instead. They are typically much more reliable. If you're already using one, try a different cable since the one you're using may be faulty or try wireless to see if that improves anything.
