Beautiful Queue Times!

General Discussion
1

Queue times right now are so even that there’s no lootboxes given to any role, and I can’t even use my Priority Passes on any role because no role is uneven from the others

This is, obviously, in large part due to the influx of players for Winter Wonderland, but it’s also a good sign that priority pass flex queue is working.

Now, imagine how good the role queue times will be when OW2 launches, brings hundreds of thousands of new active players, AND brings new tank and support heroes.

I am excited :slight_smile: And I love the Priority Pass system. That’s all.

And ty for the lovely Mercy emote, Blizz!

I’m liking it too - I avoided trying to climb on DPS and improving because I didn’t want to wait 10-20 minutes for every game

I wonder if this will actually affect queue times in the long-term or if it’s just because everyone wants to test the new shiny feature out.

This is so good. The only thing I’m upset about is they should have rolled this out like 2 years earlier. Many people have said this as a suggestion when 2-2-2 to came out, but as the saying goes better late than never.

its just a small sample size but my bf and i just played like 7 games, and 3 out of them he got DPS, and i got it 1 or 2 times so at least for now it feels like flex queue distributes the roles quite evenly.

It is too early to celebrate.

Everyone is just farming tickets now. Give it 2 weeks and everything will be back to what was before.

True, but everyone will have to farm tickets again eventually since there’s a cap on it. If Blizz wants they can even lower the ticket cap from 80 to like 40 to force people to use Flex Queue more often instead of just stocking up

We might see queue times fluctuate in waves

They will but it won’t be happening all at once.
Fewer people will be queueing for it at the same time and when the even wears off there will be even less people in general.

This is a contradiction. Also where is your proof this has solved any problems? Every game so far has been stomped or be stomped because either tank or healers are playing a role they don’t care about for passes on a rainy day.

Man imagine if everyone actually wanted to flex queue like a chad, unfortunately not everyone does so queue times will stop being 2-3 mins, :frowning:

What I am worried about is that if this system DOES work…

Why? Because then they don’t address the real problem, that tanks and supports are unfun for a lot of people. Then they pat themselves on the back “we fixed q times!” while ignoring the REAL problem.

Good times. Wonder what’s gonna happen to the system in about a month when it settles down.

Fun part is, by getting DPS players to play Tank. The DPS players will be less resistant to buffing Tanks.

You mean all the dps smurfs flexing to tank and support heroes and not performing their role because they don’t actually care since it’s their smurf account?
