I find that lately the matchmaker is taking longer and longer and longer ......... to find matches. Why is this?

It now takes 5-10 minutes to find a matches regardless whether I'm in 2 or 10 man.

I go to the toilet, make some tea, do the laundry, get some snacks and it's still searching!

Anyone know what is wrong here? I'm from Australia usually on from 6pm UTC +08 to 10pm the latest.

Don't know about the Group Queue, but I know why the Solo Queue takes so long.

The biggest problem with the Solo Queue was the complete lack of Elo separation. That went away when they introduced the "soft game mode" design. Sure, you had to play Conquest once in a while, but at least you were doing it with people close to your Elo range...not having to carry noobs all the time.

Then the Organized Groups got involved. They didn't like getting stuck in a game mode they didn't want...it messed with their leagues and stuff....so they whined until it got revoked.

Now the Solo Queue is back to where it was before....if not worse. 3/3/3/3 doesn't really work there anymore and odds are good that at least 50% of your team will be significantly below the Elo scores of the other 50%. It's basically a goat@#$@ there.

One minute is also the time you stay alive in your weak death bucket.

I would like to see the evidence, please? You can't just make statements like that without presenting your evidence.
