Yep. We are.
The reason I quoted you was someone was saying “queue times are absolutely fine right now”
And I decided to grab some posts where people were showing that the support players were not queuing as much.
Yours was one of them.
I wasn’t disbelieving you, it was the post I was replying to, which I thought was suspect

lol bookmarking this dumb post
It will be interesting to look back on it in a few months.
Personally I think it will age well certainly by the patch coming into season 3.
If it hasn’t be sure to hassle me about it, I’ll take it in good humor.

Yes I know, after a few months you can still say “it’s coming.”
When you hold the position that “something is gonna happen”, you can always say it’s coming just not yet.
I’ve already bookmarked some of the posts claiming from genji will get mobility nerf/double jump cd when ow2 is out. The tune is now after season 1.
It’s always gonna be “coming soon” like the tremendously beautiful better healthcare.
Well, I’ll draw my line in the sand. If it hasn’t happened by the season 3 starting patch, rip into me.
I’ll happily admit I was wrong.

I’ll only remind you if you are still irrational about genji by then lol
Remind me anyway!
Remember my stance on if he gets sledgehammer nerfed is it is unfair, if you think that is me being irrational then sure.
My view isn’t Genji is evil, my view is Blizzard will have to deal with supports players not queuing, and Genji is part of that. Sombra (my main) is ALSO part of that.
I do NOT expect her to get out of this without some eye watering nerfs either, but that is the usual state of Sombra

I just think your approach of improving queue time is detrimental to the game and blizzard is unlikely to do that since they didn’t do that in ow1.
Season 2 we get a new tank, season 3 probably another support. Blizzard will just try to make another fun support and in the mean time, buff supports particularly mercy to improve queue time - if that’s actually a serious enough issue.
I think the move to F2P changes how Blizzard is going to realistically do things.
They are not trying to get money out of OWL, but out of the size of their playerbase. So, things which put a hard cap on their ability to gain new players which naturally freak them out.
Nope, Season 3 doesn’t get a new hero at all.
Season 1, and only even seasons from then. So 2,4,6 etc get new heroes.
Season 2’s is a tank, and Season 4 is the new Mercy like. I think Season 6 is ALSO a new support. DPS don’t get a new hero for over a year.
I am SURE they will do this. But I don’t think it will be enough, at least in the short term.
It really depends on how quickly queue times are getting worse, on how badly Blizzard will panic over it.
But their business model means they CAN’T ignore a large queue time imbalance in the ranks where new players would be coming into the game.
You spam double jump in an Ello where people aim you die comparing dash to abilities that line up guaranteed one shots is an idiotic take. Hog hook is a pretty much guarantee kill. People have a habit of comparing dash to abilities that have substantially more potential of killing you. burning dash as a gap closer without knowing your going to kill the person is feeding.
Que times for support and dps are almost instant? Tanks have like 10 min ques barely.
You seem to be having a hard time grasping that he’s not saying, “Blizzard SHOULD do ______,” he’s saying, “Blizzard WILL do _______”
Those are two completely different statements. I’m in the English world, and I don’t think that people “should” plagiarize papers, but I definitely think they “will” do so.

For support sure, but DPS? That seems weird.
It’s not my dps que times are literally instant even at higher Ello idk what people on the forums are talking about long que times
Oh, the queue time problems are VERY much a low/mid elo problem.
But that is the place Blizzard can’t afford for them to be, because it will put a cap on new player retention. You know, their ability to grow the playerbase in an F2P game where the amount of money they get is directly proportional to their ability to get and keep new players.
I’m responding to what he’s saying regardless of if it’s a should or will.
And I did also respond in “blizzard will not” not that “they should not.”
That doesn’t make any sense why would the higher Ello with the lower percentage of players have the faster que times when the average player base is in the lower Ello on my Smurf’s as well sitting in plat gold diamond ques are instant
AH YES HERE WE GO 6 MORE MONTHS of Genji BEING utterly useless ONCE again. Thanks blizzard.
