Queue shouldn’t ask you about your role. You should decide that when you find a game, with a limit on 2 per role.
That stops the matchmaker (yes there’s a matchmaker in QP, you think matches are just spawned out of thin air?) from having additional overhead when trying to create lobbies.
One of the reasons Marvel Rivals has such a fast queue time, but not entirely.
Yes there’s issues with this, someone insta-locked your role, boohoo, everything has issues. Deal with one
No, thank you. I would rather deal with a different issue.
queue times for 6v6? last time I played it was 1min for all roles
Then everyone picks DPS, lol. Maybe queue up for tank. You’ll get fast queues. It’s only DPS that has longer queue times. Are they even bad? Mine say 3 mins. MR has instant queue times. I’m not sure if it’s matchmaking.
Half the reason of why role queue was introduced was because you would get games where nobody was willing, or able, to play a role at an acceptable quality.
The other half was that you can’t make Tanks and Healers strong (and thus people want to play them) and not just end up with some variation of GOATS.
This was in the game briefly back in 2019 by accident, in QP during the transition to RQ. It sucked because people would load in, see that the only slot(s) left were tank ones, and then leave or throw. It was patched out fairly quickly.
A role limit mode would have to have no cap on DPS or it would fail. You can’t force people to tank.
Better to have a soft role queue with limits.
It’s time to go OQ and let the pros and T500 balance their own game with hero ban. This is working fine in the competition. Only OTPs are suffering with bans there. Time to the OTPs lean more characters. RQ caters to much to them.
How is that any better than just waiting for the role that you want to play?
This works in theory until you get 3 Mercy one tricks on your team 5 games in a row.
The next 6vs6 event will be like that. With max 3 per role.
Which is unbelievably stupid in my mind. I don’t get how it’s not obvious to the devs that dps has to be unlimited and only tank and support has to be limited…
And why 3 anyway? People have been asking for 2 all this time, it feels like a student cheating by copying and changing a few words. Aaron, just do what the community has told you.
Is there a single person who has faith in min 1/max 3 being any good? Plus it’s going to be bumping the 222 RQ card off the list at the same time to rub a bit of salt in the wound. It seems pretty pointless, all told.
Yes, you have to wait a little longer to play as the role you selected. Boohoo, everything has issues. Deal with one.
queues on 6vs6 are instantaneous so far
Why not just queue flex? Gets you basically the same result with less logistical headaches.
Yes, I prefer to deal with not caring about Qtimes to much knowing I’ll get to always have a tank and support in play.
Would that be Open Queue 2-Hero Limited?
Probably the 1 min, 3 max they’re planning on testing, though I suppose 2-2-2 could still be a possibility. But let people choose their most preferred role when queuing and then a secondary choice and match teams accordingly.
It wouldn’t be perfect, you’d still get some totally inflexible people, but should be a solid improvement on the total randomness of OQ.
I dig it.
Perfect balance of RQ and OQ
