OP
If you want to match make against the same high rank or semi popular mod as you the wait time is going to be too long.

So if my elo rating was 1650.00, the game would search for players with an elo rating ranging from 1640.00 through 1660.00. If the game doesn't find anyone in that range then the range extends by 10 more points each way. So then it would search for players ranging between 1630.00 and 1670.00. The game will continue to increase the ranging until it finds a player within the range. Then it links the two players together into a match.
The problem I could see happening is the wait being too long and therefore, after the first month of hype about matchmaking, people lose interest in both that match and the matchmaking system,with the small community we have its likely wait times will be long and therefore the matchmaking system could lose its backing when its already a thing and end up being removed
no, the time will be minimal as it's prioritize to match you up with players with the oldest timestamp within your ELO range,
if nobody in your ELO range, the range is increased, and checked again, and again untill you find an opponent
