Role Queue is a Disaster

First of all, everyone in overwatch goes on losing streaks. Thats what creates those toxic playerson your team that might not usually be toxic. Second of all, it is a new hero that few know how to play. Many have stated that Sigma is actually severely under powered.

Went 5-0 on my support placement (main role) and placed about where I have been, and should be. I dont see the issue.

Yes I get that. Im ok with losing games. It is how they are being lost that raises questions and problems.

This is not related to my core point of my original post. I said Sigma is broken, not OP or UP. He is definitely countered, but he has an almost release Doomfist like 1-shot ability for a tank. While he isnt a Reinhardt, heavy with Health and a shield, he is mobile like a DF with the OLD Symm Projector Shield. Not bad situation with that. Its his main attack (burst fire Zenyatta) that 1-shots when charged with heroes 200hp or less. It is stupid because his Ult does what 150 damage max? or is it percent based? it doesnt kill anyone as a damage ult.

the hysterics are a lot like the day mercy full team rez went away. Sometimes i wonder how big of a joke OW community is to gaming in general…

rolequeue the biggest step in the right direction imo. had almost only good games and i have played 30 now. placement on 3 acounts. im loving it. and no retart changing to dps after 30-40sec and think he is going to save the team

That is about the only benefit to RQ. But some who are good flexes that may want to go from DPS to Tank and the other Tank wants to go DPS because they play better counters to what the enemy has, thats where it fails. You dont want the current DPS locks that neither can play a reaper or mccree go against a winston. You want a player who is good at countering. Its a double edge sword right now.

yes and you will get dps that can flex multiple dps roles if you climb. i dont know where you are atm in the ladder but if you have dps that can only play 1 hero im guessing it aint very high. im in plat and i dont have that problem.there is alot of benefits to roleque. healers feks have queued as healer and it seems they take theire job more serious aswell, they are not beeing forced to heal to help the team when they dont want to and going into the match with the wrong mindset.

because of the playerbase and how people behave and react there was no other option than RQ. and still there is only cry cry cry cry cry. people was beeing forced to play certain roles or get falsereported. and that was only 1 of the problems.

It was an example, thats not my constant situation.

I will say this, RQ was not well thought out, this is more than just a “Beta” test.

Sigma is not broken. He does have very good abilities and is very easy to counter
Just wreck him like I have been doing all day. By knowing his weaknesses.

Role q is amazing I am winning basically all my games playing dps and have encountered people who are friendly and good at their role. Also I’m 30 so you can’t say I’m a kid like you did to others.

Fair, you are still younger than me :slight_smile:

Guys, stop taking this thread serious.
We have a role queue rant here with only TWO hours of experience.
I mean playing a few games with the totally new role queue is not enough for justed rant like this.

Especially not on a patch day with a new hero.

That is just plain stupidity!

Why did you bother bumping when it got buried. It wasnt even on the main page anymore and I even stopped responding and its MY post, except now just to reply to your dumb comment. You shouldnt be taken serious.

so like it or not, this is the absolute case, try starting at a gold level and see how you fair, if your excuse is that he is bad then it shouldnt be a problem for you, however in all of my games since it came out every loss was the result of one person, first game was around plat level even and we lost because we had a reinhardt who decided to throw, he even went as far as to charge in headfirst at the first los and even sat in spawn for a minute straight swinging his hammer, came as close as to tie the game but couldnt win due to this retard, other games were filled with people who played roles they did not main yet somehow were still playing at the same level all around, simply saying that role que fixes this issue with seperate sr is not even close to true, because its still taking your main sr into account and going from that as a starting point, simply saying someone is bad in a game where your solo performance is affected by your team as a whole is not just laughable its just straight up retarded, if blizzard really wants to fix this issue, it needs a complete mmr reset, not a soft one, saying the guy on my team who was a plat support player before this who is now high gold on dps because he bombed his placements is not accurate at all, he clearly failed all of them but because it used his sr from before as a starting point hes still in a rank that is out of his league, so yeah dude, “man up” and go try starting from gold, then say how easy it is or unfounded his statement is

Full SR/MMR reset would be horrible mess to be honest, for a long time. Even now its mess because people are being placed way too high on roles where they should be much lower.

I dont have the emotional capacity to have the privilege of crying like you both.

Btw you should probably calm down. Small reminder that season 18 will be based on the SR of season 17 not role queue beta season. So even if you drop to bronze during beta season the next 2 weeks, it won’t harm you for next season. 2nd you point out that sigma has a one shot ability but his ultimate does 100 damage w/ slam, and that’s his biggest burst damage which is weak compared to most tanks. In GM sigma is good but can always be outplayed. What signs offers in the game is that multiple tank line ups can now be played instead of the boring orisa hog/dva. He can’t oneshot you like doomfist so if you want to complain about a hero, we’ll complain about doomfist. The developers probably decided to test sigma this beta season due to the fact that sigma won’t change your sr for the next season. That’s why it’s called a beta season. So let’s all calm down and chill out. If you think sigma is broken just play him and find out for himself if he is OP. If you still think he is OP just play him and climb.

I get the feeling you don’t have the emotional capacity for a lot of things.

I get the feeling you’re one of the local SJW Millennials, but hey who is to say?
