There are no other players on the server with more than 4 wins.

How long is it going to take before you have a worthy opponent?

It's no good. Players already complain about how long it takes between matches and it's less than 15 seconds in many cases.

Of course, this is all speculation.

There's another point that your opponents are always your rank +/- 1, so that places a further restriction on choosing your opponent if the server also has to match your number of wins.
I got told that the more wins you have the more variation it accepts so up to like 7 wins you're very likely to get someone on the same number of wins but if you're on 11 wins you could be facing people from 11 wins to 8 wins. No reason for me to think the person would lie but it certainly can't be given as a truth either.

It's all besides the point I was just interested I'm sure someone somewhere will have done a much better more informed model that takes into account these things. There is 100% data that exists which tracks peoples arena runs on a large scale which will give a better picture of how far different people get.
