Another OQ season…another post with my placements…
we’ve had 11 seasons of OQ since it returned and each season i put up my placements on here to highlight:
- how off the whole 5/6 dps thing is (ive had 2 so far)…MOST of the time its just 222 or 132
- its not GOATS either (ive yet to see it)
- that i dont JUST tank/heal - i play plenty of dps (but i dont care if i dont)
- just how little role comps actually influence results (it means next to nothing)
- its just as toxic (same amount of people in comms so not surprising)
- has just as many leavers (2 this time around - for reference i had 3 in my RQ placements which i do right before these)
- how there is no actual meta in gold/plat (unless i miscounted every single hero was used in these 10 matches)
- i usually do them at end of season so any “youre doomed if you play at the end” conspiracies can be placed right where they belong - in the trash
- my old people aim
i rather show than claim…
why? cause OQ gets a bad rep even though its a perfectly fine way to play the game (and without queue times at that) with added plus of not being the restrictive/repetitive environment that RQ is (both by role lock and community narrative/driven unwritten rules about whats “allowed” to be played)
anyway…
