Just wondering if there is any news on if/how the new flex queue will work with groups.
For example can you queue up with some people being in one of the other queues and one player in the flex queue?
Alternatively can you queue up with a group of more than three players in the flex queue?
I figure it will treat the “flex queue” people as if they picked all 3 roles normally for the purpose of a group going in together. Though that may make it impossible to pick flex if two people lock only the same role since you wouldn’t be able to queue for all 3 if two members of you group both pick support.
If you’re going to group-up, why would you ever play 222? If you have sway over roles, a real-time in-game flex option (i.e. open) is game-theoretically to your advantage. Just play open - you’ll have control over match quality as well as get more quantity. Fillpass is about the dumbest thing since forced 222. A hole dug deeper.
Tbh with you on this one. If you have a group that you have chemistry with (not just random LFG people) open queue just makes more sense since, although one or more people may be “tank mains” or “support mains”, others may be like me where they play certain roles best on different maps. I love Illios but I prefer to play tank or support on it over damage, Anubis on the other hand is a map I vastly prefer damage over tank or support.
