That makes sense. The question is would more players quit the game because of long queue times, or because they got stomped when they were new. (That would be the result of just picking the first 12 people in the queue and throwing them in a match.)

I think there is some value in caring about that case. I started playing Overwatch with no FPS background (at 31!) and I never felt like I was in unwinnable games. All the players were as bad as me. (I still remember my first games when a D.va bomb would reliably get 6 kills.)
