Long match times for new accounts?

Gall··1 votes·949 views

I'm currently on my level 17 alt account and have been waiting in queue (no dodges or anything, just waiting) for 6 minutes now even though the estimated time is 1:52. Do all new players have to experience such long wait times for normal draft?

You are not queueing with other new players. You are matchuped with other players who recently got their account banned.

Matchmaking is trying to find similar accounts as yours. It doesn't put you with newbies, it puts you with other smurfs.

I'm not sure who's smurfing then because a lot of these guys play worse than even the average low gold players lol

You only get put with new accounts until your account is level 25 or so and Q times can get really long because of it. The only way to avoid this play bots
