It has already been proven to not be equivalent to what QP was before the implementation of Role Q/Lock.
For those that do not know
QPC gets less traffic since it has been placed in the Arcade
Since it is an Arcade mode, people are less serious about it (For people that say it wasn’t that serious before, just imagine how much worse it is now since “It’s just Arcade”)
QPC does not allow you to get achievements (has not been promised yet)
QPC is also not a valid response to those that want the ranked experience without Role Q/Lock
It is a valid response, because that’s what QPC is for: to give people who want to avoid role queue a place to play. Outside of custom games, of course.
But that is the only reason the mode exists, to tell people who are dissatisfied to go play the worst mode in the game that makes Mystery Heroes seem competitive. Duh.
I won’t speak for anyone but myself but when I say go play QPC I mean that it offers what you are asking for, “Freedom Queue”
Of course the numbers wont be the same, most tanks and healers want a reliable comp
That is unfortunate, maybe those players should have taken it more seriously before we had 2-2-2. They had 3 years.
While it has not been promised it has been stated that they will be looked into by Jeff on Reddit.
If you want to play competitive you must play the current form of the game or hope they bring Comp Classic to the arcade. People had to deal with the same thing when Hero Limits were imposed.
An unfortunate side effect of the game shifting to a new direction. At least QPC is there. They could have simply instituted role queue without adding the QPC option.
Not just achievements, stat tracking. If QP classic was actually fun, I still would not play it because your hours go wasted. A blatant deal breaker which makes it about as valid as an alternative as playing DPS support. But you do not see anybody recommending that. Ha ha ha…
They most likely don’t want to go that route since putting those side by side will make less skilled players carry over bad habits from QPC over to comp. Putting it in arcade says “This isn’t actually how you play competitively”
The whole point is to be biased. If we stick to objective fact, those people are absolutely correct. Go play QP classic if you are looking for an unlocked experience. Stop being biased. The mode is right there despite your petty grievances, Socrates.
Have been queuing as DPS almost exclusively and my games have been really good. Even when the estimated time is 9 minutes I queue for about 2-3 before a game pops.
