Priority passes are gone

So I was going to play my comp placement matches for the final season, and lo and behold, my full stock of priority passes have been erased… what the F blizz? I wanted to play some last games in before the end and now I’m forced to wait in eternal queue times. Guess I’ll go play something else. Later overwatch, it was fun. won’t see y’all for 2 unless the battlepass becomes cosmetic only.

I dont play comp anymore, but do priority passes carry over between seasons?

They must be confident in their queue times for OW2 then. That means we should expect instant DPS queues, right guys? :upside_down_face:

I still have my priority passes. But yes I’ve heard they won’t be in OW2.

I had to wait 15 minutes to play my most hated map, which ended in a draw… 30 minute waste of time

Hopefully they aren’t gone in OW2. I haven’t played a game as DPS without a priority pass since they were introduced.

Of all the problems with OW2, getting rid of priority passes might actually be the thing that pushes me to stop playing OW.

I have no idea where this confidence is coming from, but it is making me act unwise.

There’s a daily quest for 3 flex games. It might be that this gets more people flexing than priority passes did. Priority passes gave you an average of 4 DPS games per one flex game. But most people don’t play 12 games per day, so they’ll be playing a higher ratio of flex games than before.

Oh no… you’re joking right…

I noticed it rn :skull: i quitted directly no way I’m waiting 20 minutes just for 25 coins while i wanted to farm them

The issue is we can only complete 3 daily missions. If this one were forced, I could see the approach, but I am just going to skip this one as it forces 3 games. I would rather finish all 3 challenges in one game.

I still have my passes.

Priority Passes will not be in OW2.

See I don’t think anyone has taken into account any stuff that needs to be grinded and the actual queue times to do so. I’m sure the closed test the content creators and media got to play had fast queue times or something, but in reality, the last beta had instant (like literally instant for me) support queues and 10/15 mins tank/DPS queue times.

I’m worried season 2 when there is a new tank (so high tank queue times like when junkerqueen was in beta) and there is no new support. Plus, majority of players play DPS anyway… there definitely won’t be a 1:1 ratio of people playing DPS and supports…

I only play support Ange or tanks as D.Va i never used Dps :hatched_chick:. But yep i understand that some will wait forever without priorities i hope that the matchmaking will be better than ow1 for everyone

Oh thank god. One of the worst things they ever added to the game.

How can it be the worst??

Because all you get are people throwing on off-roles to shave maybe 5 minutes off their queue time. The irony is that in the time you spent queueing for a flex game and playing the game, you could have already gotten a DPS game.

There’s zero incentive to actually try in a flex queue game because you get a pass win or lose.

It’s actually being replaced by something worse though so don’t worry.

Before you had people flexing and soft-throwing to get passes to play the role they want - at least it helped some people play the game faster who weren’t soft-throwers.

Whereas now you’ll have people flexing to for BP tier XP, without any faster queue times for yourself.

At least you have to win in these challenges, so there’s an incentive to try.
