There are three tiers of activity:

• Active enough that I can queue at any time of day and find opponents close to my skill level with good ping
• Active enough that I can queue at peak hours and find opponents
• Need to schedule games via Discord matchmaking

If I really love the game enough, I'll put up with jumping through hoops to play it, but it does get frustrating when the games I like are a lot more convenient to play than the games I love.
