Why are queue times so incredibly long under level 30?

Frontline Fury··1 votes·915 views

I've made an account on EU Nordic and east to play with some friends inhabiting that server. As being below level 30 is no longer a considerable handicap (contrast to the old runes and masteries system) how come i'm not getting matched against players above level 30? Matchmaking clearly recognizes i am not a beginner, and matches me with other smurf accounts. Why then am i not getting matched with the majority of the playerbase but instead have to wait up to 50 minutes to find a match? How am i supposed to reach the "ranking" account level this way?

Because you have to get matched with new accounts that are smurfs

I think that's the result of a mix of two matchmaking procceses...

  1. you are matched with new accounts
  2. you are a smurf therefore matched with other smurfs

=

Low player base

Although i once created a new account and never had this problem...
