How people are still playing this game?

I stopped playing already a year ago to play valorant, and today i dont know why i wanted to play ow, so i did my placements and honestly it was fun and the game is good.
But for every single game i just waited at least 10 minites, literally all games, how is that possible ?
How people can keep playing this game if in a 2h session you only play 1h…
I want to play ow more but waiting so long is so sad, and don’t talk me about pass cause i only want play dps

Then that’s your own fault. You could spend 20 minutes playing tank and get 6 passes, but you want to be part of the problem that put role queue here in the first place.

Deal with it.

Well, they made tanks / supports weaker, so less people play them. That is how it was possible.

I’ve played more Damage this comp season than I have in any season since season 2 because of priority passes. They work pretty great. Usually 3 minutes or less for me. And I also flex queue, which is still nearly instant. The game’s great if you like to play more than one thing.

‘Cause for me, it’s probably the best overall game I’ve ever played!

Just because you dont enjoy the game anymore doesnt mean that everyome has to hate it

Well, yeah, I started playing tank and support because those wait times are unsustainable. I probably would have quit if I was still one tricking dps.

It’s like that in every game with traditional tank/damage/support roles. WoW had around 40-minute dungeon queues at one point for damage players and that’s with 3/5 members of every dungeon group being damage players (only 1 tank and 1 healer per group in that game). It doesn’t matter how many heroes there are in each role or how well they are balanced, Damage players will always greatly outnumber others. People want to pew pew and that’s just how it is.

You need to learn to flex or learn to wait. Priority passes are easy to get. You get 6 for a win. Just play enough to get those if you don’t want to wait.

A) the game is still fun
B) I don’t have queue times cause I skip role queue…I get 222 anyway so I’m not missing out on anything other than dpsing every round (and yes I do get to dps quite often)

i will never “QUIT” overwatch but i have been playing less than usual. really into classic wow at the moment. wow will never die for me i am a big time addict (its a problem really lol). i log on maybe for an hour sometimes but i have gone w/o playing for a couple days more frequently. i made sure to get the camo “karen” mercy skin but i missed the zen skin since i hadnt logged on that much last week

I mean…I uninstalled yesterday once I realized the balance team hate F****d my main…again.

You certainly did sort of answer your own question.

I play regularly and usually never get 10min DPS queue times. This is because I’m probably in the gold-diamond area which is ideal for people are good enough and there are enough people wait times on DPS are like 5-7min at most. With the PPs because I play everything its reduced even further.

Overwatch is not Valorant for example. Overwatch is to Team Fortress/Paladins as Valorant is to CS:GO. Just as Vermintide is to Left 4 Dead 2. Nor is Apex Legends like Overwatch. Its a battle royale. They are completely different game modes meaning the style of play is not for everyone.

I’m a person who thrives on variety and frequently play other stuff after I’m in something after enough time. So, I’d never do just DPS only. The game doesn’t’ get that boring. Ina addition, I find the death match mode between games as a perfectly good way to pass the time as well I don’t even notice queue times when they are high. Sometimes I even leave matches I join simply to play more deathmatch states between matches.

Which is funny since Reinhardt is one of the few blessed Tanks if that is indeed your main as indicated by profile. He’s one of the least changed negatively in the game. He still has a damage buff. The shatter change barely affected him at all. He loses the least shield health and gets a massive compensation buff on 20% movement speed for losing 20% shield health. Gained a passive that reduces knockback on him by half. And the only thing so far is they decided to revert his health.

Who? I mean, I assume Reinhardt because of the icon, but you never know. I am just curious.

When i open game i dont play role q at all. Lately just arcade.

I would literally rather deal 1 damage per hammer swing then have lost 50 armour, dropped the shield and got instantly deleted, honestly f*** OW at this point lol so many better games.
