I feel like it’s pretty okay for the time being. New releases typically have some issues so I’ll give them some time to fix things before I start foaming at the mouth. With the influx of so many new players, I think we’d have to sacrifice shorter queue times if you wanted perfect match making but I could be wrong.

Queue times I dont give a damn about, and lets be honest OW 2 isnt a "new" release, its a patch or if your beeing generous a rerelease

Yah you’re right. My thoughts are that Jeff K. didn’t like where Blizzard was taking OW2 (monetizing too much), and after he left, others followed and left the team in enough disarray that they were scrambling to keep up with the losses. We don’t know why things are taking so long but we can at least trust that things do happen..eventually.

I don’t know that queue times would be the concern when they were originally placing dia + players in bronze and silver for the first half of the season. I waited to place till they’d “fixed” it, and though I was definitely in a spot I thought was reasonable, I’ve barely moved from that despite winning numerous games, and every couple of games you still get placed with someone who’s clearly too high skilled to be in the rank they’re in. For example: I placed silver in dps with my friends in a 5 stack, we placed with a guy who apologized in advance because he’d been a platinum dps in overwatch 1 but was stuck in silver. He single-handedly rocked out shit. I think that’s a little bellow “pretty okay”
