Currently and for the last few years since WoD there has been a queue system (that was removed in classic/SoD) that trys to put oceanic queues together so they can vs each other.
However this system is no longer needed or working which is the reason why it was removed from all classic versions of the game and SoD, not only that it actually has a huge bug that started this season.
Basically the system wont allow you to queue into anyone atm if there are currently no oceanic teams queuing, today i was queueing for almost 35 minutes without a single queue on fresh toons in 3s and was getting 13-14 minute 2s queues at 2k mmr because of this bug and the lack of oceanic players in the pool.
I believe now is probably the time to just end this oceanic vs oceanic bs because the only people who enjoy this would be primetime OCE queues bg enjoyers which still have to sit 10-12 minute queues to get into US games so this doesnt even benefit them anymore.
TLDR:
- Current bug doesnt allow oceanic to queue into US.
- Due to finding oceanic again can take an extra 5-10 minutes to find a queue.
- Disabled on All other versions of wow ATM and noone is complaining.
- 35 minutes 0 games on fresh CR toons.
