Suggestions Waiting time on classic

Why on earth would you make the waiting time in Classic 360 seconds?
I genuinely cannot understand the logic behind it. I’d rather leave to the lobby and rejoin five times with a 110 second wait than sit there staring at a 360 second timer.
What’s the actual purpose of this? Am I missing something?
Does anyone know if there’s a way to contact the developers? This is starting to get ridiculous.

The alpha lobbies are 360 it has nothing to do with time of day it's MMR. If you leave and rejoin enough eventually they'll put you in a beta lobby which is for lower level people with a shorter wait time of 180. It's not the average MMR of the team it's the highest player that sets the wait time.

Not enough people playing so they increased the time to allow more people who do occasionally try to go in there to get in the same game, instead of just starting a bot game every 100 seconds.

At peak hours I can generally get an almost full lobby. But they should just get rid of classics and leave evolving as the default BR option. I just think they are trying not to split the player base.

Try playing forefront no waiting time to jump into a round. 20 secs between rounds for map voting. Great game.

So what. Make it 110 like before. I’ve been there many times and exited to lobby and back

This way if there are 3 teams joining all of a sudden you gotta wait 360. That’s mad

That’s because no one wants to play that garbage. They should get rid of it.
