For open queue players like me the game is currently massively tarnished. Tanks as we all know are overly powerful. To the point if you dont go 3 tanks 2 healers now someone on the team will cry and rage and be like WHY PLAY DPS TANKS ARE BETTER flame flame blah blah.
Why not play Role queue you ask?
-Long queue times (it takes 20 seconds to find an open queue game)
-I like to play all roles and mix it up (and no you cant just queue all roles to mix it up, you will get support 99% of the time)
-I dont want 3 separate ranks for each separate role
The ANSWER
Open queue needs limiting to the same team format as intended 1 Tanks, 2DPS, 2 Support.
How? Simple. People who queue for Open queue should be happy to play all roles. When you queue for open queue, you get picked a position on game start. That is your position that game. 20% of time you will be tank, 40% dps 40% Healer.
That way you get to play all roles rotating regularly, you get small queue times and you still get your one ‘combined’ rank.
This is the answer and what needs to be done.
If someone really really enjoy the fact that teams are mish mash - then honestly that should be an arcade mode as that’s no longer how the game is intended to be played in a competitive environment
No. You cant do ultimate formations in role q.
- suicide squad formation : 5 dps like in the new suicide squad opening where all characters dies instanly.
- Immortal angels : 5 supports and hoping the payload move itself.

Honestly cant tell from this post if you’re for or against my suggestion ha
Joke aside. Im againts it.
care to elaborate? what is the downside? it fixed all the current issues.
This is a very over complicated answer for the situation.
Removing Open Que COMPLETELY is simply the best option for the game:
Separating the player base into 4 different ques does not benefit the game AT ALL, removing the Open Que and just having Role Que will likely lower que times for all.
Simply que for DPS and Tank only if this is an issue.
I may have misunderstood this point but even in role que you have a combined rank? So as long as you place you’ll have a combined rank
Its really not complicated, it actually just simplifies open queue to make sense. You search, you get in game, you play your given role that game. It reduces all the arguments at the start of the game (1 more tank plz! 2 healers plz! please not 4 dps!!) all the usual bs arguments.
I guess you’re a role queue player though so maybe don’t understand that situation - it happens just about every single game.
I would personally hate if they removed open queue. The answers you’ve given are false unfortunately.
for example
I dont mind playing support sometimes though. I like it occasionally. But if I queue all 3 roles I will ALWAYS get support. I like the random variety game in and game out.
While technically true I dont think it would reduce it much - A large number of players just wouldn’t bother with ranked. They wanna get in game without selecting a role and just play. And in all honesty say all of those players DID start role queueing. at best it would half queue times (presuming 50% of players play open queue, I have no idea what the actual percentage is). I still dont wanna wait 5 mins to get into a game when its never more than like 50 seconds in open queue.
I don’t know about this, how can you have a combined rank without playing open queue (ill be honest ive never even given role queue more than a few goes so I’m not sure). But either way, I dont want separate ranks even to exist. I want my one rank for being an overwatch player who plays all the roles.
Another massive negative to role queue is this new ridiculous 7win/20 loss system. If i queue even for just DPS and Tank and get them equally. I may need 14 wins to see a single rank progression at all. If I lose 19 for each role in the mean time… could potentially play over 50 games just to see a single change in rank to me. Obscene
