Waiting for Battle Fix on Artix Entertainment

Waiting for Battle Fix

After careful investigation into complaints of long and/or inconsistent queue times, we believe we found a solution: Every time someone new joined the queue, it would shift the queue counter for those already in it. This means that under higher server traffic, queue times would be higher for seemingly no reason. This bug was difficult to recreate in a dev environment with much less traffic, meaning it took quite a while to isolate and diagnose the cause. This update is designed to fix the maximum the queue times for 1v1, 2v2, and Juggernaut battles so it should never take longer than a minute to find a battle at most.
