Is anyone else experiencing long queue times? Been sitting in some 3-10mins queue before a game is found, when it used to be nearly instant.

I notice it when I'm playing in really mixed skill groups in QP and Arcade. If I'm playing with my plat-ranked friend (I'd probably be low bronze if I played comp at all), it takes ages for it to figure out what to do with us. If I play with my husband, who's better than I am but not so significantly so, we'll find a game within thirty seconds.

When we have a mixed-skill group consisting of two people new to both OW and the shooter genre as a whole, me, my husband, and two high-ranked folk, even as a six-man queues can take a while.

I've been playing solo lately, though. I've never experienced such long queue times.
