As someone that plays all 3 roles I assume my queue time won’t matter what so ever because I’m playing the game, most of the time anyway, with no care to my role being needed.
I will say though that I’ll get to DPS more than I ever have because now I won’t be forced to heal or tank when I don’t want to which is something you guys may not realize is a big change of pace for players, especially if all you do is play one role.
For a specific DPS player and only queuing as DPS… what is my guess for the queue time you ask? That’s what you are asking me not the other two roles. And my answer is going to be “I don’t know” which is the only answer anyone can ever give you without lieing to you / gaslighting you. Please try to understand LtLatency that you are causing undue stress for yourself, just try to stay positive until it’s live and then go out on the forums and get engaged if it’s a terrible experience for you. Don’t get angry about something that doesn’t exist until it exists. If you get mad at everything that could possibly happen you will find no enjoyment in life and just see the negative in everything.
I already know that they are going to be long and I’m fine with it. I’d rather wait 10 min. to play dps than hope to play dps and having to flex to support/tank because 4 people locked dps and don’t care.
There it is, it finally happened. You resorted to insulting me rather than opening up on considerations or easing off on your worries based on the information provided to us. You have chosen to be up at arms no matter what, that’s your choice.
What else am I suppose to say this is it not hard to figure out.
The Dev have stated it going to be a major problem.
DPS is clearly the most popular role be a mile.
This is basic supply and demand. There is a huge demand for DPS slots and the supply is about to be cut to a 1/3
Mean while your like…I don’t know what going to happen it a mystery that is just TOO HARD to figure out. It basic supply VS demand playing stupid and saying even the devs don’t know is NOT A RESPONSE
Yup, and gets even more drastic the higher you go. Which is why im so excited for 2/2/2, and having ppl at the sr they belong on each role, games should be much more balanced and less rng.
No, your going to wait 10 mins and then get pissed off because your tank is throwing because he went Hammond instead of Rein and your DPS is Tracer instead of Ashe or what ever meta you wanted.
Then your going to get back in line for another 10 mins so it can happen again
People ARE going to be complaining about this when it goes live
They have an algorithymn prepared for people who plan to que and throw, Jeff said it himself in his ive interview with Seagul and he obviously planned ahead for this nonsense. So you go Battle Mercy and enjoy that ban when your reports and non healing sets off the algorithymnn - tah tah.
Its shiny and new. I admit its fun and interesting, but match quality hasn’t improved for me at all yet; Same disruptive players, but with less recourse. Time will tell.
I might legitimately leave over the 222 in quickplay… I just want to have fun, sometimes I like swapping from dps to healing or healing to dps… locking you into a role with no ability to swap is stupid.
They should make it so after the match starts the team can trade roles if they so choose as long as the balance remains the same at the very least.
It will turn out the other way most likely: High rank match quality will likely improve (though become even more stale) while the lower ranks match quality will remain largely unchanged, but players will now be somewhat inhibited by the restriction due to counters, imo.
Yes they are going to complain because it’s going to suck at first but it’s better in the long term. And no, I won’t get mad if my tank picks hammond because I’ll pick something that synergizes with it. Even having 2 off tanks is better than 1 or none.
It’s not the same, mostly it’s going to be dps players who are going to complain and frankly I don’t think anyone else really feels bad for them. Longer waiting time for the most wanted thing is simply inevitable.
