I keep seeing this discussion pop up in General and Feedback forums, and it's high time that everyone is reminded that your casual queue experience has to be weighted against the three items mentioned:
  • Good SBMM
  • Low queue times
  • Premades vs. premades

You can basically choose one sometimes. For people who are in less populated servers, they'll understand that if they get in quick it might be because the game understands that the player pool is lower than normal, so they are going to go against people of higher or lower skill than themselves. There are also times when solo queue have to go against premades because otherwise they're stuck in the queue forever.

Granted, I understand that many people are playing casual right now because they feel ranked is a bit lopsided. But the queue is not always going to be daisies as a result. Additionally, if this was more of a problem in ranked (which from what I see, is very rare), then it would be a different discussion. But at some point, even in ranked, a balance has to be struck to get people into a game together.

So, which one will it be? Do you just want to wait forever for a game that will have good matchmaking because it takes that long to pull people together? Or would you rather get in quick and hope for the best?
