wow the Drastic increase in estimated queueueue times has doubled since january

What rank/game mode are you playing.

I think people have moved on from League. I used to play around 6 games each night ... now I can see March in my account history page within the client...

This game is relative trash since season 5 or 6.

I suspect significantly less people are playing nowadays.

It is still exactly the same for me. Rank can play a big part as well as game type.

Yup. In normal queue my time will regularly go over 10 minutes, in ranked it takes less time but obviously because it's draft it takes just as long to get into a game. Riot needs to learn the marketing thing, this game was built on word of mouth but unfortunately we need new players and I haven't even seen an ad for League that I thought looked like it would draw people in.

Player base is down because the meta is extrodinarly frustrating and riot has yet to even scratch at fixing it.

Guy's stop fear mongering, league isn't going anywhere. The fact is that only 3% of players are iron so if you get placed in iron you will have longer queue times for ranked.
