Since most of my friends can’t/won’t play DB I find myself solo queuing most of the time, however, recently I’ve found that when I go to queue it takes 5+ mins rather than maybe a minute or so. This has only recently started and it’s starting to become quite frustrating. Especially when after about 2+ hours of being in gaem it finally begins to cooperate.

Party Matchmaking Improvements
Since the team-balancing system is heavily restricted when a large Party is involved, we’ve introduced a system where the larger the searching Party, the smaller the skill variance they will search for. This means that matches involving a large Party will be more balanced in terms of skill but they can take longer to find.
Possibly related. Recent matchmaking changes for parties could definitely affect solo players if it is less likely to group them resulting in longer wait times for everybody in exchange for more fair matches.
