Broken, this matching is so broken.
Good on you for taking their advice and attempting to queue for 8v8. Unfortunately it is entirely dead. My only recommendation is to just play shatter for now, trying to learn the basics of your class and new pvp abilities, and then step back into the feast 4v4 pre-season when the current one ends - it will be a lot less stressful and people won't be so angry/annoyed that you're new as there is no rank or reward to defend.
