DuskDaUmbreon1 votesleft a couple game[s]
Well that'd probably cause part of it. Leavebuster causes LPQ.
Kain the Slayer1 votesYes it gave me a penalty and I sat em all out.
Deez Crits1 votesIn general, finding PvP games on lower level accounts is fairly difficult. I don't have data on the player population and such so I can't claim anything to I say to be true, but I imagine most players speed level their way to 30 using exp boosts playing against bots. There's so much that is unpleasant about playing normal games on a new account.
You don't own many champions and the only way to obtain BE in any appreciable amount is by leveling. But exp rates are abysmal (although better than before they reworked it), you don't get full access to rune pages early, and PvP games are hardly enjoyable because of smurfs, toxic players (there's a reason these people had to make a new account, eh?), etc. And, mind you, you're waiting for quite some time to run into all of this.
All of these reasons are convincing me that the only way to play on a low account is get an exp boost and go play bots. Another thing to mention is that, previously, you earned IP for playing games. That is no longer the case. Now, most of the BE earned is locked behind your summoner level. If you sped through to level 30 before, you would be at an IP shortage because you played fewer games. Now, since BE isn't time-gated (outside of FWOTD, although that's hardly relevant), most players I assume would rather just exp boost bots to 30.
If you're a new player learning the game, PvP games are probably not very enticing. If you're a veteran player, you probably don't find the PvP games worth your time. To reduce queue times, you can get into a premade with other players (I recommend level 30+ so you get matched with the majority of the player base.... queuing with another smurf hasn't helped much in my experience).
I suppose another possibility is that matchmaking is just wonky.

Either that or matchmaking is wonky.
yes lot of talk.
Anyway.. I like to play ARAm, 5 vs 5 too much bitching going on.
Nevertheless, what I mean, why does this account have long queue? No different behavior of my older account that will get 1-2 min queue but on this one 5-10 min, why?
Well that'd probably cause part of it. Leavebuster causes LPQ.
Leaverbuster ok, it will get you a penalty on every account but why once you set it out still this bs?
Deez Crits1 votesHere's the TLDR:
There's hardly a player population queued for the mode. Normal games are OK (still longer queue times for lower level accounts rather than post-30 ones), but even fewer people are going to play ARAM.
Either that or matchmaking is wonky.
