Fake player numbers?

This seems really unlikely to me. Just based on all the other games I have played, if there are really this many people playing right now, I can't imagine how it could take so long to get into a match. Over 600k players in game, and nearly 30 mins waiting for a match.

Your behaviour score may be quite low, I wait this much only wait I'm looking for single draft and all random at night on european server, and most of the time it is faster than that.

first of all, those are divided in the servers; don't expect people to play at 8am of your timezone

then, they are divided between all the modes, most people play only turbo and ranked, i believe
then, you have to consider how many are already in a game and how many are afk

then you have them divided by behaviour score

and finaly you have also the difference between skill level, there are a lot of different tiers
