Killer wait times

This is getting really, really annoying. I can barely play my favorite role anymore. I'll sit in a lobby for 5-8 minutes, finally be given a lobby, then wait another 2-3 for it to fill. I've never had to wait this long for killer games before. And I'm not even that low of rank right now, since i hadn't played in a bit over a season. I was waiting for bugs and balancing changes. So i'm down in the most populated ranks, and can't find a game.

I am legitly confused as to how my matchmaking could change this much, especially since the last time they did this kind of matchmaking, it didn't have this drastic of an effect on me.

    @SmokePotion What rank are you? I reset back to the upper gray ranks due to not playing for a couple of months, and tonight never had a queue above three minutes (which I can handle, since that's even about where my QP queues are in Overwatch nowadays).

    I'm also going to assume PC platform, since I see your name at the Deathgarden forums as well when I check out that game to see how bad the player retention is doing nowadays.

    I'm in yellows atm. Which is why I'm so surprised. I was used to waiting 2-4 mins for games when in reds, but in yellows, where 50% of the playerbase is? Somehow I went from not having a problem, to edge case, as they refer to it.

    I stopped playing this game since the queues began to take so long to fill up. I'm enjoying ARK a lot right now

    And half of the time a survivor disconnects during loading, causing you to wait another 10+ minutes for a potential match.

    I've given up at this point. I can only play killer for a week after rank reset and it's honestly so ######### sad.
