6V6, role queue but without role queue.
You can only have a max of 2 of each role, which means that two people of different roles can agree to swap, but it’s still a forced 2-2-2 format.
I want to see what’ll happen if we just force people to play Tank. Make it one of those Quick Play Hacked.
Speaking of, where are the Quick Play Hacks? It’s been like 10 seasons since the last one.
i always wondered what would happen if “forced” role queue. meaning you queue up but have no idea what role you’ll be or forced to be
i would go along with it but i wonder if people would quit?
Probably, but I still think it’d be worth a try, especially if it could potentially fix the queue time disparity.
I think this would be worth a try at least. The worst part about the current mode is that you might not have 2 tanks. Or you could still end up with 3 DPS and only 1 support or something. I ONLY want to play 2/2/2 if I’m playing 6v6.
Think that tested it at one point but had massive leaver problem, because last 2 to join were forced into a role they likely didnt want. Maybe could add preffered role like they have for preferred hero in ban system? Or at least add a way for people to swap roles in between rounds.
i dont think so, or maybe i missed that? cant believe i missed it since playing this game for 10 years. i never really take breaks. well i think i stopped playing for 1 month tops … not sure lol
Dont think it was a public test but i feel like i remember mentioning in a vlog last year about private testing they had done. I might be remembering wrong tho.
Maybe there could be 3 players who have a preferred role, like regular role queue, and the other 3 players are in flex queue?
So one player is guaranteed to get DPS, Support or Tank and the other 3 fight amongst themselves?
I still think that’d bring in the Tank queue problem.
That could work, but only if nearly 1/2 of the people in queue were doing flex. Would have to be tested of course but i feel like that would make things even longer since would have 4 seperate queue and dps would still have a vast majority.
I really cant think of a way to make everyone happy and still fix queue times. Would make people mad, but maybe have normal 222 but you cant queue same role more than 3 games in a row?
They did try it. It wasn’t that popular.
I don’t think that they did. I for sure would have tried it, but I don’t remember it happening. And it’s not like I ever really take breaks so of it happened then it was extremely poorly advertised. So I don’t think that it happened.
No dps player wants to play the bot roles
Nobody wants to play tank, delete the role
Sounds like a queue that has all the worst qualities of queueing for all roles and open queue.
I’d rather wait longer for a match where I know I’m not going to be stuck on tank. If I want to run that risk or have shorter waits, I can already queue all roles. This solves a problem in a way that is much worse than existing options.
It happened in QP back in 2019, when they introduced (222) RQ. They brought it into Comp first and left QP as OQ - except that the 222 role limits were in effect, probably by accident.
Two people would be locked out of every role except tank and there was a good chance that at least one of them would leave. Then the backfill would load in, see that only tank options were available, and probably leave. Then the backfill would load in, see that only tank options were available, and probably leave. Then the backfill would load in, see that only tank options were available, and probably leave. Then the backfill would load in, see that - but you get the idea.
People complained about QP being max 2 min 2, and it got fixed fairly quickly.
I love it so much, never ever has a enemy complained:
“Dude stop cheesing with these braindead 3 dps comps, we can’t beat that.”
Never has it happened.
the only ones moaning in a 3 dps match? the tank and support on that 3 dps team.
never the enemies.
Which is why I am all for this.
force teams to run 2 dps like og RQ enforced bc nobody trying to win would play 2 of the most useless role that can only do 1 thing.
I do like to play tank, But not whatever the devs call these post s12 things thats not tanks, those are nuclear powered aircraft carriers in a bathtub war.
I would return to one tricking tank (maybe not since banns but without s9, s12 and banns, I’d be a tank one trick. Not even joking.)
but with banns people force the tank to play garbage heroes (anything slow is a approved hero for them. and then they cry about snipers)
Not playing tank when supports can decide I have to play a slow piece of crap.
Currently only playing comp to target bann supports. Sadly I am always alone banning supports 
we really need to increase banns to 6, 2 per role.
If you like tank just play open queue then, you’re pretty much guaranteed a win just from having more tank players lol
It’s the same thing in marvel rivals
That’s because it’s incredibly unfun as a tank/support to play solo and 3 DPS guarantees that. I do not want to play that on my team.
I prefer earned wins.
i was in shock to realize aatlis in arcade is 5v5 oq.
checked oh lol, every winning team had 2 or 3 tanks, losing team? 0.
Well if you’re against 2 tanks as a solo tank you’re at a huge disadvantage obviously with broken tank synergy.
It all comes back to tanks tho, delete the role fixes everything I swear
