Why does dota take so long to find a game
In the last months is almost every time waiting for like 8 mins average or 12 to play a single trurbo that lasts 25!!
Turbo of whatever. Anyone knows why or if its going to get right?

The reason it takes so long is that it has to do so much math first it must find players ,then it must find people in the same region ,then after that it supposes to put you to a secret mmr then it must find people that have a similar behavior

This is why when you que matches back to back it is common to find people over multiple matches because they are in all of those catagorys until you have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ join the us west servers and everyone says hello and that one io says hola and the game goes 0 to 100 on him calling him the Peruvian assassin

Yes, but it tries first to find a match with better matching conditions, waits a certain time and then opens up the matching bracket more and more. If the matching bracket would be wider from the beginning you wouldn‘t wait so long. But they first search for ideal matching and they give it a certain time until they finally accept that there is no such ideal matching.
The reasons for the long queue times are not enough players for all the different game/lobby modes, options and preferences.

The longer you wait, the worst it get (one of my last games it took 15 min. to get a match, and i got match up with a 4 man party, where one was riki and stayed between the 2 and 3 enemy tower for 5 min. to kill a cour, the rest was at the same lvl, i was solo vs a lc and pugna they never ganked lc and lc dominated the game)

you are special needs ..... the true reason is that its a dead game 10 minutes to find a game in dota 2 .... 1-2 minutes to find a game in league of legends

Ok, this is from a 2019 thread and since then it doesn‘t became better. To many modes/options like strict solo, ranked roles ... for not enough players to fulfill reasonable demands for queue times neither matching quality.
it take that long bc you dont care
