"Searching for an opponent" long wait times
I'm only posting about this because I've never had to wait over two minutes to find a player for multiplayer ranked match. I'm used to only waiting maybe 3-7 seconds for someone to fight against but ...

I've been having the exact same problem, only in my case I tend to get matched with players who are 10 ranks or higher than me, in the Taco and Ultimate Leagues.
Since the player matching system is opaque there is no way to know what method is being used to match players up against each other.
It really does seem as though less people are playing since Colossal Fossils got released; at least, it does here in Europe.
- Could be that there's alot more going on atm outside of online gaming. Major league sports are full swing now, no pun intended although it works well for baseball playoffs on right now, and NFL, NBA, and NHL just got their seasons off not long ago.
Also summer is over and so there's that annoying education thing....and also school teams and clubs and whatnot.
I noticed longer wait times as well, but as plants it's about like zombies were last season.
I get better matchup while plants also, zombies I would be playing gold league or silver a couple times while I'm 49 now, but was levels 33-39 and climbing to taco league it felt cheap, stepping on little 13 or 18 or worst I have had this season was level 11, and I conceded that game anyway. Plants I get either 40s or 50, so that's fine with me
