When that happens, usually the other person has been waiting 2+ minutes. I've been on both sides of that - instant queues, or waiting 3+ minutes to get someone 500 MMR below me.
Hey, usually it works like this:
The game has 4 people in the queue: 800, 900, 1200, 1800 MMR.
It can immediately pair 800 MMR guy with 900, 1200 with 1800. But it doesn't. It waits for a minute to increase the accuracy of matchmaking.
After a minute 1300 and 2000 MMR guys join the queue. 800 gets paired with 900, 1200 with 1300, 1800 with 2000.
All the above is quite irrelevant for SG. You can't make a properly working matchmaking for a game with 30-100 CCU.
Only half of them aren't AFK, half of that number is playing 1v1, 1/5 of this number is not already in the game.
So there are 1.5 to 5 people in the queue if we're being optimistic.
