Quick take
📋TESTING: We have activated a matchmaking test that increases maximum queue times for Plat+ players on all platforms, in all regions. This test is in pursuit of tighter skill bands in high skill matches and less spill over of high rank players into mid-rank matches, as the matchmaker spends more time prioritizing the tightest possible lobbies before expanding its search. Please continue to give feedback on if you are experiencing tighter matchmaking.
