Forced role queue does nothing like that. It’s just a disguised punishment on DPS players. It’s essentially: “Lets punish DPS players with giant queue times to make it a miserable experience in hopes they’ll pick a healer or a tank.”
And maybe yeah, you’ll get some to pick a support that way.
Thing is that picking a support character doesn’t mean they’ll actually heal. They will be speed Lucio or Moira that never heals and goes pure DPS. These are the same people that would rather take a loss by taking 5-6 DPS in a game rather than flex, so obviously all they’re going to do is take a healer and play them like a DPS. So now instead of having Genji that’s actually going out killing people, you’ve got a Lucio being a wanna-be Genji and not healing. It fixes nothing. I hate non-healing Zen’s and Moiras more than I do someone that just picks McCree and Tracer.
HOTS is dead, WOW was buried alive, Diablo was murdered, Hearthstone has improved a lot but also its competitors, OW is getting dragged…
(no clue about sc, the only blizz game i havent played)
and the 2 reasons i wont change my title are:
- even if you are stupid you are using your brain, you always use your brain
- I want at the end of the month when Jeff sits with blizz-act bosses to report how many passive posts they had vs how many aggressive ones…
So moderators… feel free to ban this post and store it in the black list
I basically main all tanks and supports…
when i get 5 dps in my team i cannot do anything… so you are telling me its ok for me not to be able to perform and its ok for dps to do it?
It’s a terrible situation. Believe me, I hate the 5 DPS teams too, but the thing is that by picking 5 DPS they’re pretty much saying they’re okay with losing the game. Seriously, you’re already massively penalized for going mass DPS in this game and people still do it. They’d still rather near-guarantee a loss than flex. You’ll never get this kind of player to flex. It just won’t happen. You can literally force them into playing the character you want them to play and they will not play it how you want them to. They’ll be charge-only Reins or speed-only lone-wolf Lucio’s.
The thing is that there’s no good solution here. The only way to make the situation better is in fact to just make 5 DPS a somewhat viable strategy, so you’re not guaranteed a loss when they pick that. Otherwise you’ll have to live with 5 DPS teams, or 3 DPS - 2 support teams where the supports don’t heal. Either way it’s going to suck, and applying further penalties against DPS players won’t help.
i rather have a charging rein and a wtf lucio than 5 dps… role queue works fine for LoL
Why? You’re still not getting healing or a barrier. Your team comp may look prettier on paper, but it’s still going to perform worse than if you just had 5 DPS.

Do you honestly believe they report things like that ,or even care ?
ppl who don’t want role queue or 2-2-2 are ppl who instalock and don’t switch. there’s absolutely no reason to not do this
Stop derailing the thread.
