If the majority of players which move on to open queue are dps, it will be a glorified quickplay+ mode.
Having no tanks was already bad when it was the only comp mode, but now having any hope for a functional comp if thats the case will be pointless.
If its an even split of roles, then queue times will go through the roof and everyone has to wait longer for a game. Either way, i think it can only hurt the game.
If that happens might was well play quickplay, lol.
Just saying, people will figure out that its just quickplay and will stop playing it, because the match quality is garbage. Whats the point ranking up in a meme mode?
What it also does is further fractures the player base and makes queues even more volatile for actual quality match making.
People can choose either one for any amount of reasons from queue time, to being able to climb higher in a particular role in one of those queues, to any number of other things.
One of the biggest problems for Overwatch to be an actual competitive game (in my eyes) is that they care too much what people want versus actually making the game competitive.
Let’s let people queue up in any amount they want versus other people over the span of 1000 SR, now let’s also let them swap between multiple competitive modes too!
Literally every single source of evidence concerning this subject out there, from official developer statements to official graphs detailing the popularity of each game mode to community - created polls with thousands of total participants in the Overwatch Forums, Reddit, etc. support the conclusion that the majority of the player base actually likes Overwatch, so dunno what you’re saying here…
Oh, so the “I hate something so everyone else must hate it as well” line?
On “general majority” you mean small group of supports and tanks, who are sitting on forums?
You know that these type of polls are inaccurate. If the devs were not lazy they would make in game polls with open results to really see which % of playerbase likes RQ, and which not.
As long as this is not a thing all your arguments about “general majority” make no sense since the amount of people on forums are less than 2% of playerbase(or even less) where like 70-80% of people are support and tank mains, who make polls for themselves to tell everyone later about “general majority”
It basically sends all of the DPS only quers to the Arcade where they belonged anyway, just give them an ELO and the extra loot boxes and it’s better for everyone.
