🤔 Problem with Emongg Role Queue

here are more directly gameplay-centric problems with Role Queue as it is, like the fact that being good with Zarya or Winston has no being whatsoever on whether someone is good with Reinhardt or Wrecking Ball. It’s far worse with DPS, where heroes can be good with a few DPS and hot garbage with 8.

What’s that? Neither your Junkrat or Mei can play a competent hitscan or Hanzo and the enemy Pharah is bombarding everyone uncontested? Your Zarya plays a solid McCree? Too bad, bucko.

Both of those issues are also present in regular matchmaking, even amplified. Because besides the chances of not having a specific hero (hitscan) of a given role (DPS) theres also the chance of not having any heros of a given role or too many. How many times did you have to endure a team consisting of 3 or even 4 players insinsting to play DPS? Or games where your only tank is a Roadhog?

Rolequeue, as suggested by me, isnt a perfect solution, but its certainly a better solution than no solution. And no, LFG doesnt count. Depending on the time of day theres hardly anyone using it and to quote my own post:

LFG failed because its inconvenient to use. You spend a while finding a group that fits your needs. Then you hope enough other players join as well. As youre waiting you see players join and leave without ever actually getting 6 players together at the same time. And once there are 6 players present the leader happenes to be afk and by the time hes back someone already left again. Thats why we need an automatic matchmaker that quickly makes for more balanced teamcompositions.

With rolequeue the chances of decent games are raised, not locked at 100%. But unless anyone comes up with a better solution I dont see any reason not to implement it.
