A part of the community wanted role queue, of course this wasn’t an issue that could have been seen by the devs or community beforehand.
This game is a shooter, yes of course it is.
But it’s actually a strategy team-game. Meaning that the shooting element isn’t the main part of the game.
There are more DPS hero’s because DPS composition can really make a change. The DPS basically can change the entire comp.
Then in the other hand we have story, so it all depends on how they’ve released it.
Of course there are more DPS hero’s but that doesn’t mean the entire community should gravitate to it. Because as mentioned before, it’s not only about the shooting. Also about strategy and getting together with the team.
And of course games can really become repetitive, especially when the current dev team is too busy with the build of Overwatch 2. This is the reason why there will be less meta changes in the upcoming months.
Sadly enough fixing this problem isn’t as simple as it seems, and if you’d like to suggest something then i recommend you post it in #general-discussion.
You probably can’t access it since you don’t have an Overwatch license linked to your current account.
I’d recommend you check this thread for more information: Unable to Post in Other Forums? Information here!.
If they ended up with adding the system you suggested it could cause even more problems.
Because:
- Part of the playerbase won’t play support/tank and then go to DPS, resulting in even longer standard queues because others are getting priority.
- More people would end up playing DPS knowing that they can finally stop playing so much support.
- If more players start to use this then this function actually becomes obsolete, because then everyone will get “priority queue” but that doesn’t make them all faster because they all got the same thing resulting in these queue times again.
Well indeed this game has a big fanbase, and it all depends on how the matchmaker puts you into matches, what rank you are and what platform you play on.
Players just like too much DPS, and if they want to make it normal. Then the player has to step up, people need to stop stepping to the dev’s whilst they could fix it for themselves.
But of course noone takes initiative and keeps looking for excuses, and tell them it’s their fault. Just so they can still be lazy whilst dev’s keep working on player feedback, some say players will never be fully satisfied with a game. And that’s perfectly fine.
