Queue length... Are you going to do anything about it? How long can you wait for a match? Isn't 15 minutes too much? That's frustrating! Do sth about that!

I queued for a ranked game, only me, picked two roles and waited...

Anraton1 votes

which roles? did you try fill/secondary support?

Kith71 votes

Does it matter which roles I pick? If it does, so riot should change estimated time for specific roles.

estimated time is a historic value ... like average wating time within the last hour ....

the point is ... the server can't know evaluate how long it will take to get a team running on your skill level and ... most times you have to wait for support players as it is the least wanted role

I logged in, selected ranked pick, chose my roles and queued up, estimated waiting indicated like 2 minutes.

once again .. what was your selected roles?

I queue as Mid/ADC, and I think my longest wait time has been 3 minutes.

queue times also depend on skill level/division

O.K. agreed, but why do they say that the estimated time is like 2 minutes and then it is 15 m? I know that if u r in challenger (but not everyone gets to be the chosen one) then u can wait even up to 30 minutes, but this isn't that division:).

well i hope you agree with me that the servers can't take a look into the future to exactly know when your game starts ...

the server will do an "educated guess", based on historical values .. like waiting times within the last hour. How long it takes to collect enough people for your game and fill every role ... is depending on the playerbase and there role selection .. if everyone wants to play adc/mid/jungle/top but noone wants to play support .. everyone has to wait ...

Compare it to ... WOW tank/healer queue time vs dd queue time before they did reams and so on...

One more thing. Why fill in 99% cases always equals support?:D
