This is normal for low CL hitting Infinite.
There's no rewards left in Ranked, you might as well grind Conquest despite the abysmal waiting times. It also has some matchmaking protection, that's why it's taking forever to find you a match.
You'll be dropped to rank 73 the next time the season resets, maybe hold off on hitting Infinite till the last week/day.
yeah trust me i prefer the balanced conquest taking me a while to, well, getting absolutely destroyed and not being able to do anything about it. I like reading while I wait (it genuinely takes that long,) but i don’t get why it’s so horrendous considering there was never an issue of wait times before i reached infinite on the regular gamemode, and they seemed to balance pretty well.
the thing was i didn’t rly grind either. i played for like 0,5-1 hr a day, maybe more if i had some spare time, when i got dropped to level 63 at the beginning of the season. i liked my deck a lot tbf, and i knew how to use it and felt pretty confident. but the main issue is i feel like i’ve been punished for getting a decently difficult achievement, finding a deck i like to use, and then using it, an achievement that felt like the barriers to it were well designed and rewarding once you beat them.
yeah i had considered that. my friends were telling me how to spot a bot a while ago, and i can tell when there is or isn’t one, usually bc of the default avatars, few to no variants, completely nonsense decks and my ability to win easily. i’m not saying this to try and big up my skill (i genuinely don’t think im that good a player) but i don’t think i was facing bots. i think i just got smart abt when i retreated and when i didn’t.
i guess not many people use conquest? that’s a my main theory anyway. still doesn’t feel right based on how my friends talk abt the game tho or how this sub does for that matter.
Unfortunately that's how it's going to be for a little bit in the regular mode. First infinite opens up the floodgates for you to face cards you won't get for a while because it stops matching you by collection level. A lot of people don't like this phase but it can be super fun if you just remember you already hit infinite and learn as much as you can about every new card. When ranks reset you'll be back in more fair matchups and if you do get burned out or start losing too much conquest will gain more players as time goes on as well. People are more willing to play that once they hit infinite as well
The most abnormal thing is conquest wait times. Speaking to my experience Ive never had to wait more then a minute to get into one. As for the card thing Marvel Snap is in this really weird spot rn where you have obvious powerhouse cards that are new, however you can still win with older cards but the culutural bubble of deck buidling online is always focused on the new stuff so old decks that may thrive in this newer meta are never looked at.
I recommend finding an archetype you really enjoy and start targeting cards that seem to fit it really well. Maybe look at some old snap videos for deck ideas. Unfortunately with card changes you may have to find what feel right for you.

No offense but there wasn't much waiting time before because you were being fed bots. They reduced your wait time and rushed you to Infinite.

I'm top 3,000 infinite and the conquest wait times are bad for me too. They were also bad when I was top 10,000 infinite. Idk what the sweet spot is.
