Incorrect Average Wait Time

I know it’s late, but what’s up with the timers? Says average wait time ~50 seconds, but I’m getting into a match at around 3-4 minutes. This should be going quick, if this is the weekly.

No one really knows how the average wait time is computed. What we do know is that it is highly inaccurate. Sometimes it will say the average is 7 minutes and you can get continuously successive battles with almost no wait. Other times it’ll say 2 minutes and you can stay in the queue for an hour without getting a battle. On a few occasions it was stuck at something like 47 (or was it 52?) mins for many days, all the while people were getting battles with no problems.

Rule of thumb is that the average wait time can’t be relied upon.

And yes, I do know how averages work before someone tries to get funny.
