Just because you don’t like Dota doesn’t make his point any less relevant.
It sort of does when we are talking wait times for ladder games, you’re talking about a Custom game
Funny thing is no one of you specified around what time you are looking for a game^^
So I guess you are all right in finding or not finding games.
(and it is the same for ladder or custom games…)
PS
DotA is not a “warcraft MOBA”, DotA is the original one…

I was getting ranked matches at 5am eastern with little to no wait
yes before the patch, the average 3v3 search time for me was anything from 1min to 3. Now the search time takes forever.
I mean I guess the game just hates certain people or something. Played all night long with no issue. No long waits at all.
Of course, now the game hates everybody as things are more broken after the hotfix than they were before lol
The real question is why are you on so quickly and others wait for 10min+. As I type this I have waited for 8min. To be fare sometimes I get a game in 2min. Never had to wait 10m min before.
Now I find games instantly, no matter what time I decide to search. Just saying.
I’m just guessing here but they might have messed up some configuration on the servers or something when they added the Chicago server nodes. Thus creating a situation where people connecting through a different region’s servers are not getting matched to games elsewhere even though that’s supposed to happen.
If I were them, that’s what I’d be looking at in trying to fix this. 
This post seems to have been hijacked by unhelpful idiots talking about how they’re not affected, but this post is to throw behind the original poster.
My friends and I are having exactly the same issue - before the patch we could find 3v3 games within 1-2 minutes, now we’re regularly searching 10-15 minutes with no luck. And yes we’ve tried different times of day, ranked, unranked, arranged team, random team and no luck. Interestingly we are also in Australia so wondering if there’s some server issue

What if players on the west coast are simply being redirected to the Chicago server and so the Australian ones are even more isolated?
That would explain why some people are getting games even faster and some others can’t even find one.
The only problem is that I really think that for them this is “working as intended”
If you can get into any game at all, you’d be able to tell this by your ping.
My mates and I are having the same issues. We’ve tried every single permutation of every game type and haven’t found a single game since the patch
Devs you gotta fix this or you’re gonna lose a lot of players

Have you and your mates tried queueing seperately to see if you find each other?
Yep we’ve tried arranged team and random team. Yesterday two of us tried using VPNs set to Chicago and it worked completely normally like it was pre-patch. This is DEFINITELY a location issue
Where are you actually located? West coast US? EU?
But yea, it’s pretty clearly a server configuration issue or something like that. Interesting that it seems to be the new one that’s working for people and not elsewhere.
the prob is that they searching unranked while every one is playing ranked thats most likely why they cant finde games while everyone else gets games quickly
This is what I thought at first, but there’s a clear pattern, and we’ve had people say they’ve tried both ranked and unranked and haven’t been able to play either way.
I’m located in Australia like the OP
It might be that players are playing on WC3 Champions Servers?
