Do we have any official or reliable data as of the Role Queue reception and its overall impact in the playerbase?
Im tired of personal opinions here and there, I just want to know from Blizzard what have they learned so far about this change with the collective information available.
Statistically has it been good? has it been bad? are they looking to improve something in specific? Id like to know.
Its time to have some real feedback on it, Ive played the new system a good amount, Ive read all sorts of criticism and already formed my opinion, Im at a point I want to know where devs think this is going, im tired of guessing and being worried, this topic specifically concerns me because im primarily a damage role player and this patch affected me on several levels.
The insane and obviously not balanced game has also ruined peoples interest.
Personally, I don’t even stick around for comp matches anymore. Not worth the time to put into them just to get one team full of smurfs and the other not. No thanks, not wasting anymore time.
To be fair even combined, reddit/Facebook/this forum etc represents a tiny % of the player base (a generally negative one at that specially this forum)
Its hard to pull any useful data from a heavily bias negative portion of the players.
It depends on what you mean by official or reliable. Those words mean different things to different people, if the data doesn’t support what you say then they are not official or reliable, only if it supports what you say.
Btw Blizzard already stated that RQ has been received great by the majority, you can choose to believe them or not, that is up to you.
Like endorsements and LFG… if it was a success then they’ll no doubt post statistics showing this. If on the other hand it wasn’t such a success then I doubt we’ll see statistics. If anyone remembers endorsements and LFG, statistics on toxicity reduction were posted for regions except EU which an excuse was made up for but nothing more was said on that matter.
So what do we take from this? Happy people are filling out a full on survey on Reddit to express their pleasure, while unhappy people are taking their ire directly to Blizzard.
Now I’d love to see whether the Overbuff participation has changed much, as they’d be the closest to have numbers for actual participation in the game.
