Ever since the introduction of the bonus xp on certain “in demand” champions, me and my team have been experiencing wait times of 400+ seconds to find a match, usually giving up and switching to other games out of frustration.
We tried switching team compositions and number of players (usually ranging from 3 to 4, sometimes 2), to no avail. Every now and then we find a game after a couple minutes, but most of the time it’s practically impossible to get into game.
Is this just due to low number of QP players in our server (EU)?

Same here. Crazy how wait times, on Asian servers too!
Even when queueing 10+ heroes via random pick with estimated time 34 sec it took 10 mins instead. Fix this please…
Wait time is not the issue.
Hey everyone!
There was indeed an issue some days back, where queues with 5-player groups would see long waits but it was fixed. If you’re experiencing super long waiting times, we have to gather some data and report this.
Please state your longest waiting time but also if you’re queuing alone, or with X other people, the game mode, your region, hero picks, time/date and any other info that could help. There are combinations of factors that could potentially lead to longish waiting times, but it should never be so extreme. Let’s investigate.
I found a game while we had 5 players on the team but it took way more time than when we were 3 players.
5 Players-10 minutes.
How about just saying " the matchmaker in qm is working as supposed but it gets too much time because we have not enough players playing hots for making it work 100% properly"

Its getting beyond a joke.im having wait times over 900s as a solo q jaina, early eveing on EU and when I do get a match its 5 pugs of bronze/silver and the MM places us vs a team with plat and master??? and as for the comps. enemy team had a supp and melee (genji/butcher) and we have 3 mages with 0 supp
Somehow we managed to win that match, but seriously? extreme long q for a very poor MM experience that has 0 balance on any front (team comp, skill lvl etc)

I queue as a healer in party of 2, and still 5 minutes waiting for a match. Then we receive 3 more soloers and the opposite team is full party of 5. They destroy us for 10 minutes and boom! - again in endless queue. Then the same repeats.
I couldn’t believe the matchmaking could become more terrible than it was - but here we are. Worse matchmaking + very long queue.

I remember back in Beta you could get a game in QM under 10 seconds. Half a minute wait was considered unacceptable. Golden age of hots.

2 ppl , QM on EU server
1 Support + 1 Assasin
Estimated wait time = 160s
Real wait time = unknown. We gave up after 5 Minutes.
Tried again in a few hours --> same result
Before the patch 15-30 seconds wait time was normal in QM for 2 people, independent of team composition

Just don’t stop. I had a few longer queues, 7-8 minutes, as assassin.
The DPS queue is often full, but not always. Yesterday evening I had some errors about a full queue - an hour later I had double warrior while queueing as Jaina.

500 seconds wait time in QM -> our team: junkrat, zeratul, lucio, nova, kaelthas
opposing team: dehaka, falstad, varian, brightwing, sylvanas
map: Towers of Doom
HOTS Matchmaking: Joke (with every patch it gets worse)
Blizzard went to far with the mm. Again they have shown have clueless they are about the game. The problem wasn’t that both teams didn’t have a tank and healer. The problem was that one team might have no dps or 1. And the other team had like 3. Or one team just consisting of pure melee while the other was pure ranged. And similar things. Just completely messed up teams. And the worst part is, that often, the game could just swap 1 or 2 heroes around, and the setups would have been way more fair. Not 100% perfect. But good enough for qm. And that is considering that people had teammed up together. The game could have swapped people around, for more fair matches
