Turns out only the top players get long queues with this system, so they’re the only ones going into the not-skill-based queue and the wait times are still long; anyone not at the top then gets matched exclusively against top players and that’s no fun for them so they keep to the skill-based queue.
I do not know where your “turns out” comes from, but LOL does something similar and you won’t find skilled competitive players in non competitive queue. For top 0.1% queues are still long, though.
