DPS players, how long are you going to last with these queues?

It boggles my mind that people cannot equally enjoy skirmish, Death-match or any of the custom game options while waiting.

I’m not wasting energy and focus on irrelevant stuff. I’m there to play competitive.

@MachineElf-11333

Its equally bad for tanks and supports dealing with mindless pew-bots for DPS, believe me. Same problem shorter queue time. I waited for these idiots to just play solo?

Speaking of.

@Ninetales-2114

Ontopic though. People like you make me laugh. Purely because you will just outright complain about something within the game while giving absolutely nothing as a solution.

“ Bliz! Sort your queue times out or I’m going to call you out for being bad developers! ” Is a terrible statement that literally helps nobody.

You make it sound like blizz can just click their fingers and solve the problem.

Role queue is a nessesary evil. It saved those of us in the support and tank roles from hopelessly tanking / supporting 4-5 dps with no hope of winning.

OW's Most Pressing Problems and their Solutions

Keeping the commentary to a minimum. Problems: Long queue times for many players Lacking fun for the necessary number of tank and support slots Reinhardt’s domination of the tank role and/or double shield Heroes who are chronically not competitive Reduced variety/diversity Solutions: a) Allowing three damage heroes per team, b) without forcing a constant 1-3-2 composition Reducing the number of necessary tank and support slots by making some mutually exclusive heroes more effective and …

My queue times for dps are about 5 min for QP and 6-8 for Comp(high gold). It’s not too bad at this rank. I do deathmatch in between and practice my aim and 1v1s.

I heard in Europe even gold queue times can be 10 minutes long. Some people apparently take this, others not.

@Drazan-11346

They haven’t. They’re constantly thinking of new stuff to do it.

Not well enough.

@Lullabeii-1726

They can continue to add Supports and Tanks hoping to draw DPS players away, but I know more Supports and Tanks that have moved to DPS or flat left than DPS players that moved to Tank or Support.

The pools may not be very deep but in terms of variety and power they have covered a lot.

@Lullabeii-1726

Another option is overhauling and rebalancing the game to be something more suited for more DPS heavy comps this artificially cutting queue times by cramming more into a game, ofc they’d need to commit to a 180 on Tank and Support power levels

This is what I’ve suggested.

So I went back to my high elo accounts and mid masters. Q time sometimes poping very fast, sometimes it is 2-6 minutes sometimes it is 10, but still bearable. So, I guess blizzard figured out something about it, probbably dva op buff had its influence, and overall rein+dva meta as most picked tanks in this game’s history. Watching top500 NA streams : they have very fast queues at prime time, like 2-3 times faster thatn EU.

They must have loosened SR ranges and might be herding players across regions. But DPS queue times should be very high, over 10 minutes.
