Not less than 20 minutes…GREATER than 20 minutes. This is officially the longest queue time I have ever seen in overwatch. I’ll say it again, role queue is not sustainable, the system needs to change. Devs see my post below for my suggestion. Thanks.

There is a simple solution for the problem.
All they need to do is offer 2/2/2 Role Q as an alternative to reduce the amount of people Q’ing up for Tank in 5v5

Seen where? Where is the evidence?
From what I’ve heard, doesn’t OW2 exaggerate the queue times a bit compared to OW1?
They have gone all-in on 5v5 and role queue, there is no way in hell they’re going to go back on it any time soon.
Surely the solution is to make support more appealing, no?

All blizztard have done is move the queue from the DPS to the tank… I said this would happen and its happening… Blizztards devs have no idea about their own game…

They have kept Open Q and countless Arcade modes running.
They were clearly not worried about balance when they made the decision to remove 2/2/2 Role Q specifically.
This isn’t a court of law dude. I don’t care if you believe me or not.
Well the Devs will have to see that evidence dude. Your whole thread is about X happening, without any evidence, just you saying it happens.
It would be like me creating a thread claiming theres a bug that makes Sojourn kill anyone with a rail gun body shot and not providing any evidence.
I don’t expect them to “go back on it” (even though I wish they would).
All I want is to have 2/2/2 as an alternative.
I doubt that they have a solution for Support popularity, since the issue isn’t within the Support Role itself, but within the lack of an Off-Tank protecting the Supports.
Hopefully they take a look at the support role, because it’s pretty clear that the preference for roles is Tank or DPS.
Sure as hell having the support role being garbage isn’t sustainable.
It’s not garbage at all. Support is very strong, just harder to play. There’s probably always going to be a hardest role to play and that role will have a lack of players. Before it was tank, now it’s support.
Being garbage to play isn’t the same as weak though.
I agree support IS strong, but I also 100% fully understand why people are not queueing for the current support experience.
The experience of playing support is garbage. People have been calling it out since the betas.

Yeap. I made a post about this a week ago. Im in gold, which is a rank with plenty of people and my tank queues are over 15 minutes while dps times are aroynd 12, which is the same as it used to be in OW 1. Seeing as support is horrible to play this all makes role queue unplayable.
And open queue suffers for it too. Matches there end up having 3 tanks and 2 dps teams cause thats the only way peeps can have a chance at playing those roles, while once again avoiding the awful experience that is support.
These queue times are going to kill the game very very fast if not adressed.

This is my experience as well. Diamond 3 and tank qs usually take between 10-15 minutes.

10 to 15 minutes gives you ample time to exercise in between queues. #healthygaming

Blizzard WILL address them, they won’t sit around watching it play out the way it is.
I am SURE a lot of people will not like what Blizzard will do to address them.
20 minutes wait time to roll the dice on what team you get that could be a steamroll for either team. Jeez this makes me want to play ranked so bad.
