It’s 3:00 in the morning here so just know that but I’m looking at both role q and competitive and the support role is the quickest one.
The numbers keep changing slightly but lately it’s either the same amount of time for tank and support or support is the quickest. People keep saying how bad tank is but is that actually true or just forum complaining?
They’re mega buffed now. People are just complaining. They’re mad about having to swap. They just feel it more because there is only 1 of them. It’s not that bad to swap.
Maybe because you are playing at 3:00 in the morning, they aren’t reflective of what players want to play
Yeah for the longest time I played tank in open queue. You don’t like how I play tank? You play it then is what I tell teammates. I’ve been doing mirror matches in role queue as tank to help make it feel less terrible. Some are more fun than others with mirror matches ups.
Counter swapping feels cheap but that’s literally how the game works I’m not sure why there are so many complaints.
Its 4:45am; QP
<2min tank; <1min dmg, <1min support
This is generally my norm.
Yeah, I’ve seen something like that, but it was tied with DPS. Support was < 1 min though. I didn’t check, but just a sec ago support queue was pretty much instant for me.
I queue up for my games in Comp as flex. In season eleven, I’ve played two hundred and three games. At most, I’ve ended up as DPS at most three times and support as ten. The remaining one hundred and ninety games or so have been as tank.
At time of writing, queue time indicators stick the roles at <1m/<2m/<2m, but I can’t say I believe that. Those are also the estimates for QP.
I’m on EU. I don’t usually play during the dank hours. I have seen some weirdness on the few occasions that I have, though. For example, bribes appearing to play as DPS. Maybe the system goes strange when there are relatively few players around.
There is a reason the developers have not reverted the tank patch despite nearly universal complaints… It actually helped queue times. Facts is facts, unfortunately.
Yeah it’s kinda ridiculous some like dva and rein stand out the most. Ram already had good survivability and he’s fantastic but I don’t see him much. Tanks do stay up much longer now no one can deny that.
Another day later.
1:20am
<1min tank; <1min dps; <1min tank.
Your hidden mmr in quickly will also impact this
A couple of hours ago during “peak” hours I saw a 14 minute queue for tank and under 5 mins for both support and dps
I don’t think people are dying to play the role but it was definitely weird
It’s harder to learn Ram than Rein and DVa, at least at their skill floor. Ram needs good timing or he gets punished. DVa and Rein get away with way too much with all their armour and matrix/shield. They are all hard at higher ranks, but at low ranks Rein/DVa are too easy to get value from and too hard to kill.
Que-all is back to being support a high majority of the time for me. S9 and most of S10 this was not the case for me, tank was the que-all role for those seasons.
So, as thicbuddha pointed out, the changes that have been made from the S10 mid-season tank-gigabuff patch arent getting tweaked cuz que times for tanks leveled out. 
I’m on console, skandinavia… We are lacking support most of the time giving the MM goes all funky because of it.
Lower ranks I presume it is easier to find tanks.
