Frontlines Queue

[Turin]

Does anyone know how they exactly work? they just don't make sense. A friend and I queued at same time but not in party and I got queue pop up while he didn't (since we were queueing separatedly, that wasn't shocking), but when I got out of my match and he was still queued, I got another queue pop while he didn't. Then same thing happened a third time while he was 1h+ queue time and I kept getting pops as soon as I left a match or less than 5 mins. Doesn't make sense at all. Anyone could explain?

What are your ranks? This has happened to me and a friend before and I suspect they try to rank match in the queues (which causes some people to get absolutely horrible queues). I got into two matches before his queue popped for the first time. Did your friend's queue ever pop or not?

Mine is 20 on this character and his is... 40 I think. But afaik only Wolves Den queues are affected by rank, not frontlines. And yes, after 1 hour and me entering 3 matches after, it started popping for him and we were in the same matches.

I'm skeptical. I think there is rank matching for Frontlines which on top of GC restrictions really jacks up the queue. Not sure what other explanation exists for lopsided queues.
