Make it so players simply queue up for role-queue and are put into a random role once placed into a match. This would make wait times shorter all around.
Oh yeah can’t see any problems for all the players who only want to play damage throwing when they get put in tank or support. No way.

Competitive should be played by players who understand the game. Just my opinion, but if a player is spankin’ new to the game & insta-joins a match as the one DPS they have only several hours on, they aren’t doing their team a solid. Only after playing all the roles & learning different heroes within those roles, can you be useful to your team. Unless of course you are somehow a god as the one hero you have a few hours on.
You don’t have to agree with this suggestion, but the one thing that is true is that it would decrease wait times for player who wanted to play role-queue.
And it should also still never be done. The point of role queue was allowing people to pick what they wanted to play. Not have the game tell you what to play. It would only lead to people throwing or trolling when they did not get the role that they wanted. Queue times may be faster but you’d never play a serious game. Thankfully it will never happen as they’ve said multiple times they don’t want the game to pick what to play for you.

I thought that was the point of open queue? I already feel like I never really get to play a serious competitive game in role queue. Maybe one out of 15 games you get a team that seems to be trying or at least half knowing what they are doing. It brings me to my next point, the current level to even play competitive is a joke. Even waiting til around level 200 would be a joke in terms of player knowledge/experience IMO.
And thankfully that will never happen either. You want to control your teammates? Group up. People specialize in roles and will only want to play one or two at any given time. That’s the whole point of role queue so they can pick that role and not be forced to play something else. If it’s only players who don’t understand the game that do that, are you seriously telling me that top500 tank, damage or support specialist don’t understand the game?
I thought the point of role queue was 2-2-2? I’m talking about the majority of players, so no I am not talking about top 500 players.
No the point of role queue was that then people who wanted to play specific roles could just play that role and not be forced to play something else because they happened to get 4 support, tank or damage players. People pick the role they want to play and play that role. Forcing them into other roles would be ridiculous and only lead to people throwing or leaving if they don’t get the role they want.
Then couldn’t those players just play open queue? If they really needed/wanted to play a specific role?
Oh my god you’re really not getting it. THATS THE POINT OF ROLE QUEUE! If you want to play a role you queue for that role specifically. Putting people in all three queues at once no matter what is not role queue anymore. It’s one 2-2-2 queue with random roles and anyone who got a role they did not want would either leave or throw.
OR you could play in open queue. shrug
It’s really weird how you show up on all my posts being disagreeable. You even respond to my replies to other users & reply, being confrontational.
You don’t like the idea, fine. Move on.

Or you could just play open queue then. You want short queue times it has short queue times. I swear you really don’t understand the actual point of it existing.
You don’t just make a change that ruins the point of a mode because “it decreases queue times” removing rank restrictions would also decrease queue times but it would lead to matches where bronze players are in diamond lobbies.
Oh this isn’t about wait times for me. I am fine with waiting if I want to play any role. I just notice a lot of other users are upset by the long DPS queue times. I can flex/play any role, and I am happy to do so.
Okay then just queue for your roles or play open queue. Believe it or not there are people who specialize in roles and don’t want to play the other two. There is no reason to force people into other roles at all.

Well, if you listened to my view at all, you’d understand that IMO/the way I see it, people who are not familiar with different roles should probably not even be in competitive. You can disagree with that view, it’s fine. I don’t mind.
I understand the way you see it and I think it’s far from accurate. Yes you should play other roles to learn how they operate but that does not meant that people should be forced to queue for all roles at once every time they queue. You really want to understand the game? Join an org/team or more, play outside of comp in pugs, tournaments and stuff like that. Even bronze teams exist.
That’s fine. But, this is my post and I am giving my opinion. You can say you don’t agree, but saying I am wrong is just your view.
Thanks, coach.

And I have and will say it again. I think it is a very bad idea. You really think even you “understand the game” go try out for some teams they exist and even trying out can teach you a lot.
And obviously I disagree with what you think. You’ve shared your view, now you can move on. Thanks for sharing. I’d rather not try out for teams. I like solo-queuing, and right now it’s an option the game provides for me. sO StOp FoRcInG mE InTo A PlAyStYlE i DoNt AgREE wItH.

I’m not forcing you to group or join a team. I’m saying you’ll never get much of an understanding of the game just playing solo or even with watching YouTube tutorials. You like the option to have solo queue then sure that’s fine. But much like how you like the idea of forcing people into queueing for all three roles in order “understand the game” people also have ideas to make comp only for teams of 6 to queue for, that would also make people understand the game. Doesn’t make it right but it does the same purpose.
