Overwatch may experience delays in matching due to various factors.
I played Overwatch recently and it seems I might be hooked. The game is trying to prevent excessive play by making matchmaking harder. Often it takes a long time to find a partner and then I end up in a skirmish over an actual match. Do you know any way to speed up the matchmaking so I can play more rounds? Also, would it help if more players stayed in the lobby instead of leaving quickly?
How extended are your delays? I usually face waits of around two minutes, though they rarely last significantly longer.
I usually wait around 1 hour and 30 minutes, then attempt to requeue, but I often end up in a skirmish. Usually I manage a match within 30 seconds once the game begins, though getting later matches is tough.
It varies based on your position. I tested with the top 500 early in the day and it was slow.
You've just completed the game and are currently at level 4. It's possible your performance will improve with more matches.
