2s queues are horrible

They do seem longer than usual to me as well yes, but this is only anecdotal evidence.
Devs are aware of all your feedback about high queues in 2v2 and we'll let you know if anything changes.

Good news everyone!

Fresh update from Holinka's twitter:
"To be quite honest, the bottleneck is spinning up games fast enough. A lot of people are queuing. We're working on a fix right now" (source)

A Hotfix was applied last night to the matchmaking system; hopefully this will help speed things up and get queue times back to what everyone was used to in 5.3.

Do you mean to the queue times we were used to, or the queue time system we were used to? I imagine queue times can be shorter, now that we have a larger playerpool. Is that correct?

Yeah, you're absolutely right, times should be even shorter, I just meant things would be going back to "normal" ;)

My Apologies, I'm just so tired from all the running you know... Yesterday I even dreamt of a flying mount.
It felt... so... real...
