Matchmaking has gotten significantly worse lately. Used to be a steamroll win or lose, now it’s a steamroll win or lose with the winners getting 30+ elims each and the losers in single digits.
Queue times are much faster, coincidence?
am I missing something? that’s the same thing
The queue times were longer because they have a limited number of servers. So the conclusion is that less people are playing now, not that they loosened the MM algorithm to speed up queue times.
Remember launch, when you would sit in queue in the main menu to get in? I believe their “fix” was to let most people into the game menu, but simply increase queue times commensurate with how many players were waiting for a game. In gold my queue times in those early days was like 6 minutes for tank, 3 mins for DPS and 3 mins for support. It’s now 1 min/1 min/1 min most times, and sometimes at peak hours (evenings) goes to 2 mins.
