You're talking about 6 minute queue timers, right? Out of curiosity, why blind pick? Queue timers are shorter for draft because more people play draft. The people who play blind are new players and people who want to be guaranteed their champ because they're playing high priority pick or ban champs like Yasuo or Zed who have extremely high ban rates. Looking at your op.gg you don't fall into either category. You play high priority champs occasionally, but for the most part you're good.

2 years ago queue timers was like 5 seconds so something is wrong maybe low players?

Possibly. As far as normals go, I only play draft pick. I find queue timers to be anywhere between instant and 3 minutes usually. I'm also on NA servers though.

I have never heard of a moment in League's history where Draft queue times were shorter than Blind Pick. I haven't played for 2 months, but I can't imagine it's changed in that time.

I mean I don't know for sure because I don't like blinds. It's usually preference on which you pick. I personally don't like the idea of having to deal with fighting for the role I want and not being able to ban champs I don't want to fight. To many Zed's, Yasuo's, and Master Yi's.

It's my experience that fighting for roles is less common than people seem to think it is. I suspect that's due to anyone who would want a particular role so badly they'd be willing to flight over it left for Draft, where role selection is a thing. Then again, maybe my Blind Pick MMR is high enough that I get matched with people who don't care what role they play.

I mean, you were gold last season and silver before that. I've never been ranked and my MMR is probably much lower than yours. Last time I played blind was about a month ago and it was a nightmare. I have friends all over the place that I've made since I started playing league and some of them only play certain modes, so that's why I gave it a chance. lol. Btw, congrats on hitting gold last season.
