Waiting in vain for a fight?

First off, this post is NOT about the quality of the netcode during fights - I have found that to be phenomenal (approx 30 matches played, zero with any noticeable lag). This post is instead about how it seems to take at least half an eon for me to be matched with an opponent online, either ranked or player match. Exaggeration aside, it does often take 4 or 5 minutes when you aggregate the "connecting to online" time with the time it takes to find an opponent after you select ranked or player match. This would sometimes happen in MK9 over the last couple months before MKX dropped, but I was always thinking that would change and that I would find opponents rapidly in MKX given the sheer increase in the number of online players, compared to the dwindling number of people the stuck with MK9 that long.

Is anyone else gaining a few more gray hairs between every single online match (other than rematches on player match)? Everyone just in king of the hill?

I also (1) have been unable to gain access to rooms and, (2) despite successfully redeeming the code for the Kombat pack, have found myself in the "no content found" bucket. Not sure if these other issues are related to the long wait time described above, but perhaps they are tied together by some deficiency in the online functionality generally.

Please offer your wise counsel to this meek and impatient soul!

same thing for me, match making takes a while... and to make matters worse i get declined often :/
Yeah - it makes me think that there must be hundreds of players all waiting for a fight at the same time, and the server is a lazy ass matchmaker causing us to drool pitifully as we wait for more Kombat!

It is the worst after you lose, because you then have to sit there and stew over it as you wait for your next battle lol
