Outlier games can and will always exist when there are too few players in the queue, or when playing with a fresh account that is climbing fast. We aim to minimize these cases, but in any matchmaking system there will be the best case and worst case outcomes. (3/3)

Overall we think the tradeoff is worth it for the highest competitive tier of the game. We get the feedback from high MMR players that they would prefer longer waits for better matches pretty consistently. (2/3)

We just pushed another tightening pass on high MMR matchmaking. This should be the strictest we've ever had matchmaking tuned in terms of favoring match quality over queue times. There may still be a little more room, but we have to see the data before we tune it again. (1/3)
