Hey, so i have an issue with lfg. when playing as a group of 6 you have good compositions and everyone knows what they’re playing, however the games to me seem heavily unbalanced with either one of the teams stomping the other. for this reason i tried to solo q again for the first time since lfg was added, what i was met with was groups of 4 people with tanks and dps slots locked meaning they cannot flex this has left me playing support my worst role. i think we need some sort of separated queue that allows groups of 2,3,4,6 to be matched together, or an option to not be matched with groups with role lock on.

To be honest, with LFG implemented, I see no reason to ever solo queue ever again.
It’s a good way to get a pre-arranged 6 stack and play the game the way it is supposed to be played.

This happened to me as well! I was playing competitive solo queue and I was grouped with a five stack. I picked Pharah first, and they slowly picked their heroes but nobody picked main healer. I wasn’t in voice chat (that’s why I was in solo queue), so I was thinking this was a really lousy group…
Halfway through the game I realized that they were LOCKED in their roles and that only one of them was actually allowed to pick healer. So I HAD to. Which is fine, but it was just weird that I was basically forced to.
I will never solo q again unless it is a qp warm up. There is absolutely no reason to solo any more. The game is not as infuriating as it once was, trying to play the objective, or having the right mix.
Is LFG perfect? No, some folks myself included may select rolls they are trying to get better on. What this means is that we can not always expect our dps to be gods, or our tanks to make space, or our healers to be pro healers.
But what is great about the system is that now there is less toxicity, I did not see a single leaver in competitive, during season 11 placements. And I actually had a lot less frustrating games and enjoyed the new friends I made.
Rank matters less when you are actually having fun playing the game as it was intended to be played (a 6 stack). With fun comes more wins, and improvement.
GREAT JOB OW TEAM!
Do you even understood the problem?
Forced roles in LFG less than 6 stack is bad, because if somebody solo q-s they are forced to play in a role they dont want to, or they dont know how to…maybe you say learn to play with a hero from every role…BUT…i bet your LFg team has some one trick too…
So what happens? of course your one trick wont switch, because even if they wanted to,they just simply cant. So you will start to blame the solo quer when they are bad for a problem,that you created with your lfg team not being a six stack…
LFG is the first of more to come. They will improve it. I understand what you are saying but still see no suggestion on your part to fix your concern.
Suggestion for OW Team:
I like to solo q, (These are my roles/heroes of choice) instead of “Find Group” add new option “Fill Group”. Game looks for groups missing my roles/heroes of choice.
Now I can be placed in a group and locked by my own choices if I solo q.
Thanks OW Team
