I don't know how it is for other data centers, but on mine the unranked Feast queue is absolutely horrendous. I've only done Solo so Party queue might be much better.

With the way queues work for the Feast, an unranked player can only be teamed up with Bronze or Silver people and other unranked.

With the season almost ending, I decided I wanted to get my ranking up since I was busy with all manner of other things. I never expected me to constantly have hour long waits+ for just 1 match.

Friends I know that are Bronze get matches in 10 minutes, and here I am still with a 2 hour long queue.

The problem seems to be because of the vast amount of people who have already ranked up. Since Bronze can also be in a bracket of [Bronze, Silver, Gold] and Silver also has [Silver, Gold, Platinum], most of the time they end up in those matches. So other people are constantly in and out of my queue as they get a match for themselves leaving me to wait hours on end.

Something really needs to be done about it I think. Sure now I know as soon as Season starts to get at least Silver ranking ASAP. But the amount of people who might get interested in the Season will need to wait months just to play at a decent rate.
