Heyo Captains,
This looks like an outlier case in terms of matchmaking. While these lineups do occur, its usually very very rarely (In my memory of the game I think I've seen a similar line up <10 times in 15k games). While we are very much aware of player discontent in terms of how matchmaker currently is, and have acknowledged we are working on making changes (particularly to around T8) to ease concerns. These changes do take time and testing before implementation.
It is likely in this scenario, the first person who entered Q was in for over 3 minutes, which is what prompted matchmaking to revert to the previous "less-conditioned" system to speed up getting players into a game.

(this is slightly out of date as some tweaks have been made to MM since but is generally a good and detailed explanation of MM logic)
Fem,
