I would love to not have 4 DPS instalocks in one game followed by 3 Support mains in the next, Thank you!!!
(Yep, we’re totally using that ‘creativity’ you anti role queuers talk about)
Update: Got 2 Hog one tricks in a game PogChamp. Yep, role q is unnecessary, but we can never forget about the incredible creativity, right!?
Now is not the time for this right now. Vex there is an glorious thread going on that needs our attention. jk
Is this even english?
I meant to add time in it. But it’s mostly just an joke.
Even if you add time (which I did) the second sentence doesnt make sense either.
The thread that has Semi name on it. That’s is what the second line means but carry on with your thread.
Because a 4th DSP is the last thing they will expect 
riight?
There’s a 4th DarkSydePhil… THE WORLD IS NOT READY!
I had a discussion with someone on the forums about roleQ and matchQ
You see these problems that roleQ would fix.
I see The problems it creates
It removes player agency from the game, this is not a good thing under any circumstance.
it increases queue time for 2/3 roles (probably DPS/Support but maybe Tank instead idk). This problem is attempted to be fixed by matchQ by instituting 3/2/1 to change queue times, however I don’t believe this will have the end result. Some do however.
Toxicity will increase due to players being on their role of their choice
It becomes easier to wreck a team comp with 2 off tanks/2 off healers etc.
I don’t believe this is a problem. You do.
This is why we disagree.
I believe roleQ and matchQ don’t fix much.
I also believe that the problems vastly outweigh any good roleQ and MatchQ will do
I’m not sure about that. The same arguments were made around hero stacking, but the removal of that was good for the game.
I think players being on the role of their choice will reduce it.
I know, we talked though this in another thread. We both have good reasons to believe that it will / won’t make the game better.
I still think it is worth it, because the problems the OP is talking about are real problems.
It solves those, (as a side effect) on the way to solving bigger problems.
We definitely disagree here. We can only speculate.
This point is kindve subjective
It’s not a problem to some, it is to others. This affects the way that we react to this
I think we both agreed on 1 problem it would solve in the other thread, but I stand by my assertion, I also accept that you disagree and due to the largely subjective nature of this topic it’s really impossible to know what will happen until it happens
Im still on the fence about role queue. I have not solo queued for almost a year now. I only use LFG now so role are already selected. Im not against role queue, but I am still not totally for it.
Unfortunately I don’t even get the luxury of LFG lmao.
You can still find people to group with and leave the rest of us alone, though. So it is not all bad.
You get punished for grouping up and most people above diamond dont use LFG because its a weak band aid fix.
I am not able to enjoy a single comp game because of some kids instalocking dps or whatever the h*** they feel like, or just switch roles inbetween games. It’s disgustingly boring to try your best when everyone else is just trolling. RoleQ is the only way to fix this sh!t, it worked in League of Legends too. The way they offer comp gameplay right now is just a slight joke in my eyes. Maybe it’s fun if you are 12 years old but if those things don’t change is see no future at all…
This is a good point. It’s like getting a cut on your leg and saying “It’s fine. A Bandaid will fix this.” But then someone says “It will hurt when you peel it off.”
We should work on fixing the problems we do have instead of worrying too much about problems we might have.
Agreed, and we also have to think “Are the issues that role queue makes, solvable problems?” because I think they are solvable, we just need to see what happens.
But we already know what will happen. They need to change the game first and that is so much work that they were like, “um… Overwatch 2?”
We have no idea if this is true. This is a leak by Kotaku along with the fact that we have no idea if this will be PvP, PvE, mobile. You are assuming too much. They already said that they wanted to do more games in the OW universe that werent team shooters and they also said mobile games were in the works for ALL IP’s. “Overwatch 2” could mean ANYTHING.
