Why are the queue time estimates so wrong?
45 seconds is not anywhere near the actual 6+ minutes it ends up being... Why can't you just be anywhere near accurate?
Or better yet, not have 6+, 7+, 10+ minute queue times with hundreds of thousands of players in the pool.
SchmidttyGames1 votesThe queue estimates are taken from the average across all players. Since you aren't level 30 yet, you're playing in the smallest pool of players that currently exists. Queue times will ease off as you level up because there will be more players in your level range to play with you.
NinjaTibbers6361 votesIdk maybe. It's been this way for years though, this obv isn't my first account as you should be able to tell from my name being a reference to the game. But maybe so.
SchmidttyGames1 votesIf you queue up with some Level 30 friends (which will put you at a clear disadvantage that I shouldn't have to explain), you'll have "normal" queue times. But if you're in solo, you're literally waiting for 10 other people within your level bracket to queue up too. It's not just going to throw you into the fire at your account level.
venomous frost1 votesI think you are overestimating how much players are in your exact MMR range, playing at the same time, being in the actual queue instead of game, in the same type of queue across 11 different servers
