Estimated 1 minute or less for every role
I can even queue support and play Illari in about a minute
This sure beats the queue times of OW1

its also the reason matches are bad. Faster matches means faster turn around time. Downside is matches are low quality, usually stomps (this is a feature, not a bug). Upside is you don’t know the population is in declining.

At this point things would only be slighly better even if blizzard actually gave us a legit match system…
The middle of the playerbase in terms of skill has about rotted away, as a result of the matchmaking system…
Matchmaking was always this bad, its just becoming more and more obvious as the playerbase continues to degenerate…
Its extremely hard to balance a match when the majority of players available to you to make it, are on one extreme of the ability spectrum or the other, With little to no middle ground to work with.
Especially when your designed to build matches to always show some degree of favor to one side…

My guess is that the estimations are based on the old matchmaking stuff that they’ve tweaked. Because when the feature came out it was often accurate yet when they destroyed the matchmaking it no longer made any sense. Sometimes it showed 1-2 minute queue times for DPS/Support and you’d wait 8 minutes to get a game. Then it showed 4-5 minutes for tanks and you’d get a game in 15 seconds. Back to back. Multiple times in a row. As if to mock the players by intentionally showing queue times longer than with what you’d get priority passes for

Here I am, trying to get into a Arcade capture the flag match to get that lifetime challenge (win one ctf match). At the moment of typing I’ve been in queue: 53 minutes. That’s excluding times restarting the search and playing other modes in between to check if matchmaking isn’t down…
Does nobody play arcade, let alone capture the flag?
ML7 was waiting 72 minutes for a Gm match that was over in six minutes.
Eskay was in a queue for forty minutes to have the match end suddenly and requeue.
August was waiting thirty minutes to have a leaver throw.
Supports went from the worst role to the most played role. And while some people will say that’s because supports are op and not because being a tank is miserable right now because it if Orisa, cass, doom, ball, zen, Ana, sombra, pharah, Mei and bastion but we all know the truth.
It was the five new mercy bullets.

Supports have been boosted ever since dps lost their movement speed passive. Keeping the broken health regen passive.
Most babied role.

I hope this guy gets paid. He tries so hard, even made a separate topic.
yea i do like the curent que times alot to, dps on al modes les then 1 minute;)
He is not wrong. Overwatch 1 queue times were absolutely monstrous when they implemented role queue. Even in gold/platinum you could find yourself waiting 20 minutes. It was genuinely unacceptable and while they gutted matchmaking to achieve fluid queues in this game, it is absolutely for the better. Except for high end support players. RIP to them. Someone has to get THAT end of the stick.

This is the key problem, it also made the game role racist.
Before if a dps bad mouthed i could pick dps and do better and show them how it’s done.
I hope you get paid. I have 1 minute queue times and you act like the world is ending lmao
what region?
US East, queue times are always low
