Why does blizzard lie to us?
>Inb4 the game just tries to find players that are has similar/equal skillset
>>
are all 30 million of those players all online at once and in your specific region?
hmm?
>>
>>379273961
you can try to pretend that matchmaking time isn't heavily based upon your tier but it is nigger

Deal with it

There are at most 4 or 5 skill tiers so it's not like that's an excuse.
Let's say players are evenly divided in regions. You have North America, Europe, Korea, and the rest of the world (Asia minus Korea + Russia + South America), that's 30M over 4, about 7M in each zone. Now let's say that half play on PCs and half on consoles, that's 3.5M. When you divide 3.5 over those 5 skill tiers, you get 700k players to play with in your region. Now, there are 5 main game modes and custom games, so let's divide that by 6. That's about 120k accounts that you would be able to play with. Out of those accounts, I would estimate only 10% are playing at any given time, so the effective player base becomes 12k. Add that to the fact that Blizzard divides the players by servers based on ping, you have probably less than 1000 players that you are being matched with. At 12 players a match, you have about 100 matches going on and the reminder of those players actively waiting.
So in the end, that's where the wait times come from. It's even worse if you're trying to play at some odd hour like at 6 in the morning

Matchmaking bumps you down the more people report you for being an asshole. Clearly no one wants to play with you.
>>
>>379273961
You could try not being a toxic piece of shit that gets reported all the time

But it's too late for you

You're already in low priority queue hell.

And it's all your fault.
>>
>match making takes longer than 30 seconds
>cancel and hit search again
>instantly finds game

Unless you're so shit there aren't 11 other shitty people to play along with.
>>
>>379273961
Mmh, weird.
What game mode was that?
>>
>>379275576
You're assuming 30,000,000 are actually 30 million unique individuals and not accounting for people that played the game once during free weekends, people playing with smurf accounts, or just people doing whatever in internet cafes.

Now that they had another free worldwide weekend, and the game was free the entire month of May in China, the numbers are going to look even weirder.
>>
>>379273961
The game just tries to find players that are has similar/equal skillset you're just so bad there is no one else on your level
>>
>>379275579
>>379275697
