7-10 min queues on sunday gg blizz

Its not dead, however with players split between regions and with good matchmaking(which we complained about for years) people underestimate how hard it is to consistently make fair games. 5-7 minute queues would indicate that the game is far from dead.

“I want fair matches and I would gladly accept a few more minutes in the queue.”
“Queue time is a few minutes, game is dead, gg.”
Ladies and gentlemen, you are now allowed to observe the specimen “unpleasable fanbase” in its natural habitat. It will only take a few months’ time until it wishes back the old ways. Once those return, it will complain about them again, telling “something that was not broken got fixed”.
You say now enjoy your afternoon tea. Cheerio.

Such an insightful argument to create a new topic… Did you just f@rt a thought into existence and decided, “hei, I’m going to share this with the community!”
Thanks?..

Did you ever think to consider that we’re complaining on purpose because the game is in fact dead and Blizzard is greedy and the game sucks and there’s no solutions?

Do not play World of Warcraft if a 5-7 minute queue time ruffles your feathers. It varies from expansion to expansion, but I have waited upwards for almost an hour for a dungeon, and that is not counting raids.
Oh, and if you are getting bored just hit the windows key on your keyboard and go read something, play Pokemon on the PC (you’ll see HotS turn yellow when your queue is successful), write fanfiction, watch videos on youtube, read fanfiction, lurk on the forums, or just do something else instead of throwing a tantrum. Not that hard to figure out something to do to kill the time rather than headbutt your keyboard repeatedly like some demented, featherless woodpecker to write out a thread that has less depth than an ingredients label on the side of a box of cereal.
Oh, and seriously, Heroes of the Storm is not dying. It is limping along, but it isn’t dying. If Destiny can survive being hung due to Activision’s incompetence then Heroes of the Storm can survive as well.

Back in the day of WoW, you just formed your own party. Kinda hard to do that from General chat in HotS.

I wouldn’t know as that was before my time. In regards to getting people on the forums I am an anti-social hate sponge that dislikes human beings and their squishy bodies and only puts up with them in vs A.I. because they are usually better than playing with bots on my team, usually.
Just sit and wait those 5-10 minutes… stop complaining… We don’t need faster que’s at the cost of good match experiences.
This new QM was unnecessary and all it shows is the incredible disconnect between blizzard and the playerbase.
ALL THE RULES THAT QM NEEDS ARE THE FOLLOWING:
- 0, 1 or 2 tanks per team, must be an equal amount.
- 0 or 1 healers per team, must be an equal amount.
- 0, 1, 2 or 3 specialists. At most there can be a differential of +1 or -1.
- Any amount of assassins, with very specific custom rules to divide squishy mages, autoattackers and melee assassins evenly on each team.
That’s literally it. People, including myself complained about being a team of Li-Ming, KTZ and Chromie against Zul’jin, Genji and Butcher. If only matchmaking knew how to split Ming, Butcher and Zul in 1 team, and Chromie, Genji and KTZ in the other, then there would be no issues.
Or how about those 3 specialist teams vs 0 or 1 specialists where 2-3 mages have to deal with non-stop camp pressure? Why is it so hard to do balanced team comps, even if they have no healer or warrior? It shouldn’t be.
Now QM literally won’t start a game unless each team has a tank and a healer. That is a problem. All 5 assassin games were fine to me, as long as the matchmaker KNEW how to NOT pair hard counters on one team vs 5 mages, like it loved to do.

If you wanted MM to do that, it would still make the queue times longer. I’m happy with the changes, even with the longer wait times. I concede others won’t like the increased queue times and some of those people might leave.
I also concede these changes should have been introduced years ago when there was a more active player population. Waiting 3-5 minutes is a small price to pay for a QM queue that gives more balanced matches. It’s good for casuals, for veteran players, it will sure help the new player experience and maybe positive word of mouth will get some former players to return.

It really isn’t, especially for casuals that immediately draw comparisons to other mobas.

You’re over estimating what it means to be “fair.” They made the comps better, but they are no more fair then they have ever been. Until QM players learn to play with comps it’ll actually be unfair for a while. If it was a fair match making I wouldn’t be consistently matched with players who have a 39% win rate…
I have been averaging 5 min queues for the past 3 days (Fri-Sun). But one thing I noticed, it seems like if you choose a character no one wants to play, then the queue time is really short, less than a minute even. You just have to play some crap hero or a healer.

It’s exactly like how Paragon was before Epic shut it down

You need to be specific with what mode you are talking about. If it is quick match, then non tanks/supports will have a higher wait times. The reason for this is that too many people try to play assassin/specialists, and there are not enough tanks/supports for those assassins within that MMR range since you need at least 2 supports and 2 tanks for every 6 assassin/specialist (2 ranged) per game.
Also factor in that if someone wants to play a popular hero then wait times are even longer since there are too many of that particular character to find 9 others.
