10+ minutes long queue time for 2/3 of the player base is not acceptable. People are quitting Queuewatch due to long wait time. The role queue is a nice concept to get healers and tanks to our game so it is best to not get rid of it. Having 2 queues in Role and open queue in the future would just make the queues even longer for everyone. Just combine everyone population from PC and console so that there are enough players to start the game.

Because console players already don’t complain enough about XIM users so instead we are gonna let PC keyboard players play with them… Hmmm. Curious…

LOL! Does someone want to tell them??
At most we should combine PS4 and XB1 lobbies, PC controls are far too advance for console.

Yes with 66.67% of the player base having long queue time waitiong for tanks and healers is not acceptable. By adding more players from console, it should make queue time much quicker.
Console has aimbot assistance to level up the field for those who insist not getting a keyboard and mouse adapter.

Crossplay between consoles only.
Maybe for PvE you can play with pc.

Comp is the one with the long role queue issue.
66% of an accounted 50 Million players (give or take 20 million) is NOT playing this game right now, ESPECIALLY on console lol. You would have to go back to pre- GOATS and Fortnite blowing up to get those kind of numbers. The average only numbers is sadly much lower than before but it will pick up when OW2 is out.
And Aim Assist will not be allowed on PC ever, there is no way for the devs to separate controller schemes and even if you could players who use XIM would have PC aim and Aim assist like on console right now.
If you want to decrease the Queue time combining Console Lobbies is the only option in this scenario.

Console gets to keep their aim assist to keep their leveling field with PC players.
A lot of players quit because of queues. And 66% of active players queueing right now has over 10 minutes queue time or more. Worse when you join a game and someone instant leave and have to wait for all the roles to fill up again. By having more players from console would fix the long queue instead of adding on to the inactive players.

If you merge the playerbase, the queue time will increase instead. More dps, less tanks. Simple.
How to fix queues? Permanent Competitive rolefree mode. They did it but now it’s disabled for 2 months. OMG.

Role queue disable will only introduce 6 dps team again. And no it won’t the more players the more tanks and healers there are, the less time gotta wait for a tank or healer to log on.
I’m saying from a technical standpoint it’s impossible and it will not be added into the PC version due to the fact that Aim Assist + MKB would be overkill, and there is no way to split both.
It’s reason why Aim assist isn’t available on PC even though you can play with a controller and it shows you the buttons.
Also you can play with a Controller and Mouse at the same time.
There could be crossplay between consoles / PC in QP and Arcade (no competitive). But it should 100% optional and there should be setting to turn it off
No thank you.
This is one of the worst suggestions i’ve seen so far.

Crossplay between the consoles would really benefit the Switch version, since there’s absolutely no matchmaking there what-so-ever as far as I’ve seen. I mean, I know QP matchmaking is supposed to be a bit loosey-goosey, but the looseness of it on the Switch makes it unplayable for me, and an utterly waste of money and time. I’ve never felt that way regarding the PS4 version, and I’ve played that since Aug 2016.
I’d like to see how well crossplay (between consoles) goes for atleast one season.

I’m pretty sure neither side wants to play with the other, it’s not a fair matchup
Nah I’ll stick to not coming across any hackers thanks.

Instead we should combine all the console playerbases instead.
I can only tolerate this for PvE; aka Overwatch 2’s Story and Missions Mode… Anything else is just unacceptable.
