Off-meta queue times in teambuilder.

Maybe Riot has said something about this somewhere, but I haven't seen any info on it.

When I queue up an off-meta pick in teambuilder, the wait time before I find a group is usually significantly longer than meta picks. It might take 5 minutes to find a group with an off meta pick instead of 45 seconds for a meta pick around the same time of day. Is there a system in place specifically designed to give meta picks higher queue priority, or is this the side effect of something else in the match making system I don't know about?

People are declining you because they don't want to play with off meta picks. So it takes longer to find a group.

I think it's that the group owners don't want to play with off-meta picks. I think the queue shows up for you after the group owner approves it, so you wouldn't notice.

It would be nice if there was a separate queue for off meta picks though. It's more disheartening when they let you join a game out of desperation for an adc, only to notice that you're a Varus mid, and then kick you five seconds later.
