What's Up with the Immortal Queue Times in Dota 2?

-

Hey fellow Dota 2 players! I’m really confused about the current state of the game since the last patch. My average queue time has skyrocketed — it’s now about 40 minutes! I have a Battle Score of 11k and an MMR of 8.8k, yet I’m getting into games that are pretty iffy, with obvious win trading happening more often. Before this patch, I was usually waiting a maximum of 15 minutes for a match. Is anyone else experiencing this mess? Am I going crazy, or are these changes hitting everyone?

I think the long queue times you’re seeing at around 8k MMR might be related to the player matchmaking changes, especially with the 8.5k transition. A lot of players have noted their queue times going up recently too! Plus, I’ve noticed more players from Peru in EU games, which is definitely a concern right now.

It seems like you might have inadvertently landed in a smurf pool. Typically, players at your MMR shouldn’t be facing these long waits. Streamers around your ranking haven’t reported these issues, so it could be a weird matchmaking quirk.

Yeah, that’s what I think too! Sucks because I’m not a smurf either, and my win rate is under 53%. But it definitely feels like these patch changes are messing things up for everyone.
