Simultaneous Multi-Queue Matchmaking

votes
Currently, players must select a single game mode (e.g., 3v3 or 5v5). For less populated modes like 5v5, queue times can be significantly long, discouraging players from joining.
Proposal: Implement a multi-queue system, that allows players to search for multiple game modes at the same time. To keep the competitive integrity intact, this should strictly separate playlists: players can search for multiple Casual modes simultaneously, or multiple Ranked modes, but never mix Casual and Ranked in the same queue.
Benefit: This will drastically reduce matchmaking wait times and breathe life into less populated modes, as players can queue for 5v5 while keeping 3v3 as a backup.
