Riot has enabled queue time throttling for auto-chess game Teamfight Tactics to help cope with extreme pressure on the company’s servers at launch.
Launch demand is immense, Riot has said, and some players in North America, where queue time throttling is already enabled, have reported waiting up to half-an-hour for a game. Now Europe is starting to get stuck in, this launch demand has spread to the UK.
And so, queue time throttling has been triggered for the the EUW (EU West) region, which includes the UK. Currently there’s a three-minute delay on finding a game on these shores.
