I sure hope it doesnt stay like this forever.

What's really interesting is that 20-40m queue times were VERY common before. Nuh huh you say? The timer didn't continue through dodged games.

That number is actually far more accurate than it used to be. And I'd be willing to wager that over the next couple of weeks we'll be noticing a precipitous drop in overall time to start a game.

Exactly. When ever something like this is implemented into the live game, there will always be uneven queue times, bugs, and graphical errors. That's simply the way things go. Give it a weeks time and every thing will be running smoother and much more efficient.
