And if the average wait time is 15 minutes, then I shouldn't be in queue for over an hour.
    It could possibly be skewed by premade groups. I don't know how this one works, but groups get priority over individuals in many queue systems because it's easier to fit in the group of 4-5 people first than it is wait for a gap of 4-5 to appear in order to fit them in. I imagine that a large chunk of people PvPing right now might well be dedicated PvP groups. So, if groups do get priority, it's not entirely unbelievable that your wait will increase while average wait will decrease.

    That's all just a possible cause, though. It still does certainly feel as though something is off.

    If you're incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent. The skills you need to produce a right answer are exactly the skills you need to recognize what a right answer is.

    I actually feel the opposite, that premades take longer to queue as some single friends made it through quickly and we were still waiting 40 minutes later. Either way, something seems off with the new system.
