There’s been a lot of talk about Role Queue. Here’s my take on it, by making use of some features from LFG, and making this a total replacement for Competitive Queue:
Role Queue with Team Compositions:
- Choose Competitive.
- Given a selection of team compositions sorted by most popular at the top.
- 6Flex at top regardless of popularity.
- No Damage hero spots, just Flex/Tank/Heal.
- Locked roles, but instantly unlocked if you get a leaver midgame.
- Pick team composition out of 18 possible compositions (maybe less if you take some out).
- Pick role you want in a team composition.
- Start queuing.
The idea is to keep things simple, streamlined and avoid some headaches that LFG and a basic Role Queue would suffer.
Also additionally this feature would be useful:
Swap Heroes
- Can trade your control of your hero with another teammate.
- When confirmed on both sides, swaps both hero and role.
- The hero does not change location. If you swap with somebody who had a Widowmaker a rooftop. You are now that same Widowmaker on a rooftop.
- This allows teammates to swap roles with minimal hassle, without both going back to spawn.
