Role Queue enabled for Competitive Season 18!

Haven’t seen yet company killing it’s own game more efficient way.
HF, I’ll prolly uninstall after that.

Finally role queue in quick play. I have been reinstalling and uninstalling the game a dozen of times now :D. Last time I tried new comp beta and it was a pleasure but when i was done with comp and went to play quick the same 6 dps cancer was back. Right now I’m installing the game again since this seems very promising, please don’t do the mistake in reverting the changes and going to the old quick play no matter what some lunatics say.

this doesn’t make any sense as far as competition goes. aren’t people enough triggered when they get a smurf? now you want this to be a thing? how will this help anyone regardless of rank or make the game more enjoyable? why would i want to play with or against a silver scrub or get owned or carried by a master? also if you are good you would have climbed anyways, there is no reason you have to do it over again every season.

the reward is playing the game and getting better at it, IF the gameplay is good that should be enough

If you have 6 dps, then probably something is wrong with you yourself.
So that’s a question who’s actually lunatic in here - the one who don’t like stupid rigid comps, or one playing one of “6 dps”, mkay.

Please take off this role queue system. It’s killing the flexibility of the game

I really hated queue system, basically it forces me to play a specific role for entire game while I gain gold in damage by playing tank. If carry can’t do it why am I stuck to play tank to entire game?

The higher the rank you reach, the more you realize you shouldnt be playing all three roles, mostly because the skills required to be good at all 3 are conflicting with one another. This encourages specialists, which have always been hindered by not being able to play their role. Flexing, though good for team morale, should never have had that much impact that it would raise you ranks above than what youre actually skilled for. This “flexing” thing I kind of find weak. It’s putting more reliance on your teammates under the notion that “im flexing to be what i think you need, therefore I dont have to be good, so you better carry me” mentality.

At most, master 2 roles, but even then, if you have the notion of "I am a member of the team, and I WILL contribute out of my own skill that ive honed and specialized, then you wouldnt mind the change altogether.

The only ones complaining about role queue are the ones that never really found a role and chose to hone their skills really high in that category, and have always relied on other’s that do specialize to carry them.

What about DPS who don’t want to wait 10 min for a match. Don’t they count?

Its need to be a higher level than 25 to get into comp

You know every governing body ever, take what you said, add some dumb stuff to it, tell you that you asked for it, and then change it back to how it was.

This is exactly why i came. 10 minutes per match… who the hell has time for that

Just saying you can queue as all three in qp if that’s what you want. I haven’t noticed much of a difference to be honest

“The only ones complaining about role queue are the ones that never really found a role and chose to hone their skills really high in that category”

You forgot to add “IMHO”

And you will always get tank role, since no one wanna play them.
Playing 2 days with that system, got 0 dps roles when queueing as tank/dps.

Placements what is the point. Ok I am going to say this placements is pointless. No matter what if you get 60 kills a game as dps and gold everything, it will stick right back were you were last season. I find placements to be stupid. ITs the IDEA your going to get a higher rating. But, your not. Blizzard wants to make sure anyone more of less good at this point stays in gold, and plat for a REASON. Anyone climbing out of these ranks is winning games over and over and over and they are doing it with other team members helping or pocket healers and a tank. Nobody REALLY is doing it in solo queue. I think more players in gold and plat are not going to just let one player completely dominate them maybe in the past nobody swtiched and let a genji just wipe the team. These days carrying is not really possible every game to a win, and on a 20 game win steak. etc.

Also its funny how I never played tank or support and still at same rating as dps… I find that ODD. and likely its only off by maybe 200 to 400 sr.

If they choose to hone their skills in that category wouldn’t that mean they DID find their role? Jeex

You understand that this makes absolutely no difference under the scenario I presented, right? Queing with all three choices selected means I get the shortest wait but it does nothing- nothing- to solve the problem I stated- that I don’t always know which character I want to play until I see the map.

Are we clear there?

Did they say if the MMR would now be separate for each of the roles?

You ruined the game. This role based competitive mode make the game flexibility very limited. If DPS does not play well, there is no way for the team to adjust. No more freedom on the game. I used to play a lot of competitive, now I am going to play other games instead.
