Developer Update | Symmetra Short Story and Challenge | Overwatch

[Krojack-1117]

I think this update was recorded over a year ago. Jeff has no beard and looks younger.

One hundred percent agree this will happen. It already happens when people just want to play to play and end up DPS-only/throwing on tank and support rather than play the roles as intended.

I see it daily actually, usually the wild Rein player, the unending supply of Hogs, and the DPS Anas and Moira’s.

It’s also gonna depend on how much it will cost to queue with priority.

Like, let’s say that you need 30 points to queue and it grants 10 points per win and 5 for loss, it means winning 3 games will grant you priority and losing 6 games will give you priority.

[Nere-2268]

All I’m thinking is that the priority queue will just have poorer matchmaking system because queue will be faster.

All I want is better matchmaking…

@Kaedi-11739

The only concern to me is that Priority Pass is something that can be earned if you lose a Flex game. Now while you can win more priority pass by earning wins in the flex games, depending on how much is gained, I do worry that game quality may be reduced overall by those playing roles would not put effort into.

And if it’s not rewarded for also those who lose, flex players (tanks and supports basically) will become incredibly toxic towards their team when they perceive them as the reason they lose the game (and thus their priority queue tickets). And will probably leave games early as result and create backfilling problems.

[MachineElf-11333]

I keep saying for those who cannot wait - allow them to queue in both RQ and OQ simultaneously.

[Sylhiri-1495]

I can see it as another bandaid.

You and me both. I mean if the result is faster queuing, then they need to tighten the MMR system in QP. Comp is unchanged, but QP is really, really bad now.

[Cacidrel-2931]

Then they won’t get the pass cause you have to actually win the game

[casterbation-11600]

This is a great thread and all but nobody’s asked the real question yet:

Why is one of Jeff’s sideburns a full inch lower than the other?

[XyZ8086-1146]

@Ryan-111758

Jeff said you get many more passes for winning games.

Good to know. That’ll keep me from using it. Even on a role I have a positive winrate(support), I wouldn’t play it just for a 60% chance of priority queue. Best to just stick with what I find most enjoyable and a longer queue time.

[AmberDragon-21940]

Jeff said that you get some even if you lose, though.

[Agranite-1626]

sounds like a console bug. on pc, even if players leave ai and pve, they are still listed in recent player list, yet alone arcade and other modes.

[Antiparticle-2254]

Can you guys add proper subtitles to your videos? Eh, guess I’ll just watch it with sound when I get home tonight…
