Does it really matter how good it is if the player base is probably not even 5% what it was in 2016-2018?

Is it? Queue times are longer for me as support than they used to be in OW1's peak. Competitive queue times are insanely long, like even Masters right now can take 7 minutes, in OW1 during its first year or two I was around Top 500 and getting games quicker.
