At this point, I don’t care what has to happen or how drastically the game has to change. I cannot keep sitting for 10+ minutes to play a game where one elim is gold at the end of two rounds and we only get to play for about 5 minutes.
We need a system that rewards fill players like the one LOL has where sometimes you are forced to fill for the sake of queue times, but you are subsequently rewarded with a guaranteed opportunity to play your favorites. This keeps queues quicker, but also give everyone enough chances to play their preferred roles. It also keeps players feeling positive because they know that they are guaranteed an opportunity to play their favorite role next game.
Better to create a system where everyone fills part of the time than a system where nobody has to fill but nobody gets to play.

The only way to fix DPS queue times is to get people to stop playing DPS. Your waiting in the longest line so you gotta wait. If you want the line to be shorter then you have to take people out of it.
Plus no one wants to fill at all. The system already puts you in games where some toxic teammate left and everyone hates that.
Also LOL is horribly designed anyway.

That’s doesn’t mean that every feature of LOL is bad.
People are never going to stop playing DPS. That is wishful thinking. I don’t mind playing some tank or support, but I want to play DPS too.
The reaction of the player base is usually “FinE GO PlAy APEx” but to blizzard that is a very bad thing. If they want to avoid losing significant numbers of players, they are going to have to create a game where you play more than you wait in line.

Everything about LOL is bad. Even the the company who made it is horrible.
If you want to play DPS then you must wait just like everyone else.
Not really, I do not see players leaving.

The reason why no one wants to play tank or support is because no reward system is implemented for them. Dps players have the kill red skull and the sound it makes wich works as a way to reward psychologically the player that he did a good thing. There are no such things aimed towards tank and support players.

so basicly DPS need to be the ones to fill, only to get a DPS game as reward. seems a bit dumb tbh, you gotta play a 10-20 mins match as a role you dont really want to play to skip a 10 min queue? and you might not even be good at the role so you could ruin someone elses game

It’s an even bigger problem for streamers and the like. Nobody wants to watch a streamer wait 10 minutes between matches so Overwatch has lost a lot of exposure through those means.
I also don’t think there’s a way to fix queue times, though, without taking role queue out. I don’t think a backfill system would work well for competitive. Beyond that, there needs to just be less people in the queue.

I have long queues .
So queue for the other roles and then you won’t.
That’s not acceptable.
Well sorry ?
Sorry but you have the power to fix your own issue by queuing as tank or support.
The only way to drop the DPS queues is to make more people play tank and support.

people need more rewards for playing tank or support. a loot box or some tokens aren’t cutting it. maybe 5 loot boxes or a 5k bonus in XP?

Just as an fyi streamers should probably be doing stuff like death match or whatever between rounds. if they are streaming dps people either are watching them for their personality or because they are killing stuff. all of that is accessible between rounds… so.
I think DPS isn’t your calling if you get 1 elim in 2 rounds. Seems like this problem will sort itself out once you figure that out and queue for something else.
Your top 9 QP heroes are DPS. Over 95% of your playtime in QP is on DPS. YOU are the problem. If everyone played 95% of their time on DPS, the queue times would be 3-4 hours per game. YOU need to change or find another game with just DPS.

My ENTIRE TEAM got 1 elim in two rounds
I’m not sure how you’re not understanding this, but…YOU WERE ON YOUR TEAM.

You are willfully misunderstanding the point in order to be insulting. It’s a theme in all your posts.
Maybe if you want to look at profiles and talk trash you should make yours visible so everyone else can see what a big winner you are.
Until then, bye.
That sounds to me like a very cheap excuse. Blizzard designs the game, and they are in charge of making sure that system works for EVERYONE. Of course with the current system, there is no other solution but to take dps players out, but that is not what people are asking for. These insanely long queues are the result of First: Making a game where the dps is the most rewarding role to play (e.g. easiert to get POG) Second: Turn all old Defence heores into dps which they didn’t have to (unbalancing the number of each role), and Third: Forcing 2-2-2. There was and still there is sooo much Blizzard can do, they just can’t bother.
Dude that was 8 months ago, why are you necroing?
The queue times aren’t even that long, it takes me about ~5 minutes for me to find a dps game in gold.
5 minutes is pretty long for a game with 10 million active users.
