i think the problem is the lack of players, you don't want too many queues. you probably only want one, as it is now.

i was thinking about a system where players have one MMR for each matchup, and probably does not even have a main or average MMR at all. when you have separate MMRs, you can even have an advanced ui with 3x3 checkbox where you can specify which matchups you want to queue for. (3x3 only, because i hate random with some half-assed passion, i'd remove it, change it so the server rolls the race die for the user, and show the selected race in the starting screen).

knowing the queuing player's matchup settings, the server could still estimate waiting times.
high mmr T players wanting to play TvZ for example would be discouraged by the high queue time estimates when no high mmr Zs are around.

would be nice to have any kind of system supporting playing specific matchups. i play all matchups the rng throws in my way, and without map vetos. noticed a lot of players leave mirrors, which isn't ideal, because this lowers their mmr, they are effectively smurfing in the non-mirror matchups.
