IMO it varies widely. This past weekend it was taking me multiple attempts to get logged in to a public lobby— after waiting ~5-10 minutes!

Nothing has changed appreciably. If they would let you login to a private invite-only lobby that would likely speed things up greatly— but it’ll never happen.

That's probably just the nature of P2P networking code.

Did they remove this option in the last couple years?

I don’t think its ever been an option to login directly to an invite-only lobby. But then I have taken multiple multi-year breaks! I was pleasantly surprised you can actually play most of the game in a private lobby now… that is a huge change and I am not at all certain when it occurred.
