If I occasionally have to wait 12 hours to finally get a match, maybe Pinoyboy is starting things in the Pinoy time zone, other side of the world, and ending up waiting even beyond 12 hours. Instead of the matchmaker thinking "well let's dip down a bit lower in the ranking to find someone for you" it's gone into a full panicked "omg find him someone, anyone! hurry hurry before he yells at me!"

I don't think it works that way. It seems the system is either a stickler about skill range, or doesn't care at all (full panic) and finds first available opponent. You're right, a better way would be for it to gradually widen the search range but given the other host of problems, I wouldn't expect it to be fixed anytime soon. After all, it affects all of 5-10 players from the whole game.
