The Return of Rome expansion in Age of Empires II currently feels underwhelming due to the difficulty in finding ranked matches. This lack of competitive structure limits its competitive potential and overall player engagement, making the experience feel incomplete.

Implementing a ranked queue specifically for Return of Rome would revitalize interest and encourage competitive play, fostering a more active and engaged community. Since ranked matchmaking already exists in the base game, integrating this feature should be relatively simple for developers, making it a low-effort, high-impact improvement.

Please consider this important change, as it would significantly enhance the long-term success and player experience of Return of Rome. The RoR community does exist, but we face ongoing struggles because ranked matchmaking simply doesn't work. Finding matches has become nearly impossible, and we need a solution to bring competitive play back to life.
