Can we get a priority re-queue?
Hi!
Recently, with the longer queues and PTB specifically, I have been dying for a priority requeue. I'm starting to think people are doing this on purpose xD But about 35% of my matches end before they start because someone has left.
This hurts ALOT more in the PTB because queue times are already as long as possibly can be with the increase of people playing killer and the decrease in resources applied to the game during a beta. I have waited 2.5 hours recently alone trying to get a match to play as Wesker, and all of my matches ended before they started.
This wouldn't even just be nice for PTB, you can have similar issues within normal gameplay. It'd just be really nice to shrug it off instead of sigh when it happens.

How are they longer than like 3 or 4 minutes on live servers? What would a priority requeue do that's going to speed that up? I play both sides generally at all times and I really don't see them get much longer than that, pretty regularly at that. I'm also willing to hop to the other queue when it takes more than a few minutes though, tbh.
The PTB doesn't really matter for queue times because it's already a small fraction of only a portion of the game's population on it.

Same could be said for Overwatch. It has 4-5 minute queues that can extend to 7. You could just switch to another role, but at the end of the day you want to play the role with the longer queue time.
It also still sucks to wait for a match, go through the match making, loading the players, entering said match and loading the map for it to disconnect you. You've just wasted about 3 minutes in the lobby, as well as the 4-5 you were match making for. This can add up if you get it several times in a row.
PTB would benefit from it greatly in fact, as it's the PTB, Public 'Test' Build. More matches being played = more feedback for the devs. I think my only worry with a priority re-queue would be it breaking match making... Again.
