Ranked role matching seems so great as an idea, but every time I've queued I've waited through 8 minutes of queue time before giving up. It being dota plus only really limits it I think.

Sometime it pops near instantly for me but I've definitely had the rare double digit wait. Honestly I still prefer it just because I've had so many bad experiences in the regular queue where people do poo poo like jungle legion commander because they don't want to support. So you end up solo supporting a 40 minute loss that at no point had any chance of winning because you were crushed in the laning phase because some dick didn't want to play witch doctor. Longer queue times for higher quality games every time.

Yeah, queue times were bad even when it was a Battle Pass feature, and even when queuing support. It'd also be nice if you could pick more than one: either for two roles like support/offlane or just checking all the boxes for "I don't care what I play, I just don't want a role argument on the pick screen".

This is good for normal functioning people but dota players would check everything then call mid or feed once a game is found.

There's nothing stopping people from queuing support and doing that now. (There's a new report option for "didn't play declared role", but I'm not sure how much weight it carries.)

I've yet to report people for that before but I've definitely been really tempted to do so after the 5th mirana who farmed the jungle for most of the early game and never bought a ward.

Sorry but this patch owns extremely hard, the enemy Lion and Ogre got into a fight before runes even spawned about which one of them was the safelane carry.
