Still taking way too long to find a match in new normal draft queue

Took 30 minutes yesterday to find one game. Today I queued up with my brother and we waited around for about 10 minutes before deciding to just do blind pick instead. Waiting in a queue right now, over 9 minutes to wait...and my mmr is pretty low, so I wouldn't think population issues would be a factor. I'll also mention I've always had "fill" or "support" listed as either a primary or secondary pick. I was kind of hoping they would fix the time issues when they disabled the new queues yesterday, but I guess not. I know there are lots of people for whom it is apparently working as intended, with relatively quick matchmaking times. There seems to be a set of players though who are experiencing regular 20+ minute queue times. Can't help but wonder if they don't have all the kinks ironed out yet, or if there's something under my control I can do to ensure faster times.

At the very least it would be nice if the "Estimated Wait" actually displayed an estimate instead of 0:00.

"Queueing up never took this long when we had Teambuilder"... too soon, I know. Sorry!

Have you encountered any bugs in the client like afk check or game freezing during champ select?

it seems so bad to have low priority queue on top of long wait times just to get into a game you couldn't accept or couldn't choose champ...
