my average time is 3-6min
How long you wait in line for predator
11 minutes on average
Sometimes 2 minutes but at odd gaming hours it can be 15 minutes. (PS5, crossplay on)
If I got house work to do, that fits in conveniently in the long breaks.
I wish I knew if the game has any algorithm going, dissuading players from choosing pred based on certain factors (success rate in previous rounds, number of rounds played as pred,…), because it surely looks like it. If the waiting time gets too long to sustain, I choose the ‘any side’ option and then I find a game in less than a minute. After that FT round I usually find a game on the pred side much quicker.
Also if I am doing well in one round as pred, I usually find the next match after minimum queueing time.
Usually up to two minutes several matches in a row (on PC).
Then the time goes up and you don’t get into a lobby for 5 or 10 minutes no matter if you wait or keep canceling and joining the queue again. I suspect they have some server side issue and run some background check to reset the queue if it gets struck.
