If the match one Horizon and match two Octane were made to sit in the lobby waiting for enough players of equal skill then they might well never get a match at all. Especially if on a low-population server at off-peak hours, etc.
Not trying to make excuses, but that's how matchmaking has always worked in every shooter I've ever played over the last 23 years. They're all the same. The devs aren't trying to make the game the exclusive fiefdom of the top 5% of the player-base, but that's exactly how it works in practice. They're here to shoot and we're here to give them something to shoot at.
And also, results are at their worst when you play a non-br game type.
@reconzero Yeah, que times in games like Overwatch are a nightmare too. I barely play it, and it has me waiting in the lobby for about 25 minutes to find a match where one team is a full pre-stack Discord squad.
Since we get bots in our matches anyways, they might as well give the bots better AI to where they're not useless.
