Playing this game is too much of a commitment
This is not much of a suggestion, more of a critique.
I believe that the main reason this game hasn't attracted more people is that you have to be unemployed or a kid to enjoy it. Any time you want to play Toribash, you can't click a button and start playing. You have to get in a server and wait. Let's say it has 5 players which sounds about average: you have to wait 5-10+ minutes every time you want to play. If you lose, which is more likely for a new player, back you go to the queue.
Playing a couple of <5m games could take you half an hour for no good reason.
I don't have any suggestion but I think this is by far the worst aspect of the game and should be given consideration.

A redesign of the queue system is unlikely and would piss off virtually everybody. In my mind it would be that everyone plays and it rotates the players.
This hasn't been done because it's a stupid idea.
An alternative would be quicker mods, although this would likely get really repetitive with a smaller range of play styles.
This game suffers from a very unique style that is hard for newcomers, which is what is both good and bad about it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don’t be ridiculous. The lobby system is atrocious and outdated. The games “style” has nothing to do with the fact that I have to sometimes wait twenty minutes to play one boxshu match.

reminder that spending time meaninglessly when technology allows you not to spend time is backwards thinking.
-----
for tourneys you could, for example, follow this
layers join the tourney and get put into a normal waiting room. let's call it room 1.
once room 1 gets enough players, they get matched in pairs into rooms 1.1, 1.2, etc.
can't it all be so simple

Games like League, etc, don't 'hire' 15 year olds out of their mothers basements to run games like TB does.
people queue for 10 minutes for a 40 minute game in league, Toribash games are like 5 minutes tops
