In Overwatch 2, I thought it was normal to have to wait 30 minutes to 2 hours for a match in competitive open queue

It’s always been that way for me but I recently discovered everyone else gets to enjoy really quick queue times, like only a few minutes.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I might fix this? It would be very much appreciated. I'm playing on a PS4, I’ve tried reinstalling and cross play is on.

Check NAT settings on your router. Make sure they are not setup as strict.

@Ozymandiaz It's not strict but it's type 2, apparently type 1, open, is better but so far all I've really managed to do is give my PS4 a static IP.

Changing to open sounded easy and quick enough but ohhh boy was I wrong, I'd be reading a tutorial and then it says I have to do something else first, then that ones tutorial says the same damn thing, so I keep getting half way through, having to stop, start something else, stop that, start another thing and then I'd lose track of everything. So yeah, taking a break now.

I did get to try a few things though but they didn't work out. There's a DNS server that's in my own State and highly recommended but I'm pretty sure it made things worse. There are others though, so I'll give it a go again later.
