#delete role queu and 2-2-2

Read all the negative topics about it on the forums.

Please delete it and return the game to it’s original state.

I rather play in a team with 5 dps than play with role Q which totally destroyed Q times and changed the whole game.

Overwatch does not feel like Overwatch anymore and for that reason it will lose a big part of it’s player base if they keep the role Q after the beta season.

May it be true. Time to get a clean start with a population of players that understand the difference between Overwatch and Call of Duty.

Why not the positive?

There are plenty of positives that role queue brings as well.

I get that you may dislike it, but why just look at the negative? Finding positives in change, is healthy.

K, you can play Overwatch Classic when it arrives in 2025.

Yeah, going from a free for all 6v6 with no role limitations from 2-2-2 will do that.

DPS players

Until, they add more diversity to both the Tank & Support Roles.

The beta season was mishandled (not putting role queue into QP at the same time was a huge mistake, now people have to practice in comp), but the game is still vastly better with 2-2-2.

Queue times are also no worse than they were before. I did a set of placements in a duo with both on DPS (the worst queue time possible) and the queue times were like 4 minutes tops.

the queue times is the worst part about roleQ. Also, the forums doesn’t represent every or even the majority of OW players so…

Dear Tank and Support players replying to this topic. I beg you, please do not let them destroy this game just because of your hate against DPS players.

I’m a FLEX player myself, i play every role. I think this makes me understand the mind set of all roles.

Making this game unplayable for DPS players will not solve your problems or make you feel better, in the end it will also destroy the experience for yourselfs.

I’m a tank / support player. I actually got to play DPS for like the first time since beta. It didn’t seem unplayable.

Well I wouldn’t, so I guess we’re at a stalemate.

How is this game unplayable for dps players? I played only dps yesterday, and each queue was 7 mins tops. When I got into a game I had healing, I had tanks, and if anything it was more playable because I could do my job.

Click the tank or support button - all your problems will be solved.

Same. :grin:

Or I used to be…

DPS is not unplayable due to Role Queue. I’ve finished 4 out of my 5 DPS placement matches so far.

I don’t hate DPS players in general. I mainly dislike the ones that play Hanzo and Widow, but that’s usually the extent of it.

Role Queue will not destroy, Overwatch. It will help it in more ways, then most are realizing.


Also kind of pointless to start any #'s as none of them have worked.

#RevertMercy lasted for nearly an entire year on this forum to my knowledge, never went anywhere.

There are mostly negative topics becasue nobody is going to go to forum and tell you that it is great instead they are going to continue enjoying playing.

This thread is proof that 222 is effective at rooting out the toxic garbage. Give it a little time and we’ll be rid of this vocal minority and we can all get back to discussing strategy instead of baby sitting.

I’m a “dps” player and i’m definietly not hating on them. Having “roleQ” doesn’t make it unplayable for dps though?

Okay let me give you a list of the negative sides of role Q and 2-2-2 which made me make this post:

  1. DPS Queue times while duoing with a support friend have gone up to around 15 minutes.

  2. As a flex player i always get the feeling that when someone on a certain role fails, i could play that role better and change the outcome of the game for us(mostly the tank and dps role).

  3. Toxicity has gone up, way more people are complaining about a certain role not played well enough. #2 of my list is me FEELING like that but most people talk about it in a toxic way through the mic.

  4. It’s close to impossible to find a 6 stack or any other group with the LFG function on Europe servers unless you are French.

  5. I have been placed in Diamond on all 3 of the roles while i know im ALOT better on tank and DPS than on support. The game decides that i’m a diamond support while im 100% sure that diamond supports will always outheal/outplay me. I should not be in diamond as a support and i force my teammates to carry me when i Q as a support. Normally, when the team is not able to carry me i could switch to dps/tank and do my job but now they just have to accept that they will lose because i will miss those sleep darts[insert any other ability] more often than other supports on their rank.

I’m playing DPS more than ever before. I don’t understand how its unplayable.

You are calling me toxic garbage, a vocal minority and someone who needs baby sitting.

You think that made you anything different than the things you just called me?

Just because someone has a different opinion or perspective than you does not make them toxic, a minority or a baby. It just make that person ANOTHER person than you.

all the people who enjoy it are playing rather than making threads. also most the negative threads like this are filled with same old nonsense rather than genuine arguments that cover both negatives and the positives

lol

Positives

  • Doesn’t force players to become flex in the first place. (me)
  • Never have to worry about not having a healer or tank
  • Easier to balance.
  • Easier to make new characters around that idea of always having 2 of the three roles.
  • Decreases the toxicity, as now you won’t be arguing over someone not going support or tank. They’ll just automatically be there.
  • Classic QP is being added to arcade if you truly wish to play the old version, for whatever reason.
  • Allows for people (Like me) that usually flex in order to fill for spots that most don’t play. Like Tank & Support to stretch their legs in the DPS department.
  • No more 5 DPS, troll games. (aka most QP matches.)

:+1:

:-1: The 11? matches I’ve played, there was fairly little to no toxicity in my games.

and I placed Plat for my tank placements so…
