it take around 17 minutes to be in random battleground
while i understand in BFA queue time were like 40 seconds - 2 minutes for alliance because it was a PvE extension and everyone gone horde for PvE gear
Even in shadowland when cross faction hit it was 4 minutes
And today it’s 15 minutes and the merc NPC only offer to horde → alliance
Not sure if it’s realm related but I got toons in both faction and per average is at 5-10 minutes tops and 12-20 mins if I decide to queue at midnight into AM hours.
It has been on a steady downward slope for the past month or so. Possibly to do with the more and more obvious premades showing up just making the casual experience for most people not very enjoyable. Or maybe end of the season people doing other things. Either way my experience has been similar with around the same times.
