New matchmaking system in Heroes of the Storm

The system for putting together and joining games in Heroes of the Storm is basically the same as it is in Starcraft II. The result is sometimes not even close to optimal, which Blizzard knows and during Blizzcon 2015 they announced that they're currently reworking the system.

When testing the new system players have been put into games that are both closer in terms of skill, and there was a better balance in terms of the selected characters within the group. The all-new matchmaking system should be working in full effect by the end of November.

Game director Dustin Browder pointed out that in some cases the new system might mean longer waiting times, at which point perhaps players might be more interested in getting a match sooner rather than later: "If you're in Brazil at 4 in the morning, and you're one of the highest-ranked players in the world, maybe we don't want to wait 30 minutes to get you the best match".

The new system should roll out in the next two to three weeks, although that's "an intent, not a promise. Anything could happen in software, but this is our top priority," Browder added.
