🌟 [RoleQ] 2Flex-2-2 is the answer

On the main servers, you don’t have a population problem, but, say you were on the OCE server (Australia / NZ), then you couldn’t split the queues and have the game work.

Hell, we barely have enough people for the regular queue to work.

LFG failed completely for the same reason.

SEA servers have the same issue (but less so), which is why you are seeing people post that the servers need to be merged.

On mainland US, yeah, you likely have the population to have 2 Queues. But, the rest of the world is not mainland US.

Yeah but it was pretty awesome for the first month, especially for QP. Then they never really tweaked it the way people wanted and let it die. Sort of like Endorsements atm which are not 100% making sense but has never been overhauled (I’m looking at you endorsement rank 4 and 5).

It’s like Bliz has had some good ideas but never go full throttle on anything, they half-booty it all without going all-in.

So much all of this!

LFG was a damn good idea, and could/should have changed the game.

Endorsements did work, in that toxicity did get reduced. they could have been better, but I’d not put it in the failed experiment basket :slight_smile:

Honestly… could have made our current comp system solo queue and group queue together as we do now…

Then… have a separated LFG queue for people to play the way many see as more balanced as fixing into mandatory 2-2-2. Separated leaderboards once again.

Would have been a risk but enforcing LFG for 2-2-2 for a comp mode would have been a great experiment… unlike forcing people to group in 3v3 (may have been 4v4 I forget) which was a total flop.

At this point the game needs to take risks and experiment with competitive play though because it’s ridiculous how long this has gone on clearly not working as is. Make some effort into trying you know, don’t just give up.

Sure it has but the system needs to be adjusted to where endorsement 4 and 5 aren’t such a super ridiculous feat / bordering on a joke.

I don’t contest that it hasn’t helped but I do contest it’s half-bootied.

I think they ARE trying, but I think they are looking at the wrong places. I know they are worried about player population.

Oh, a funny side note - my wife calls endorsements ‘being paid in loot boxes for playing support’

I mean, she isn’t wrong.

Yeah, they can’t halfass stuff now, they have to wholeass something.

Just give us clans/guilds and 6 stack only que

I don’t think LFG was made for masters and up, at your level players should know better than picking silly team comps and when they have picked a silly comp how to make it into a working one with one or two swaps.

LFG is for lower elo, and it is strictly to appease players, it doesn’t work as players have no idea how each other play and the all give up after one loss, blizzard probably intended groups to stay together for about 4 or 5 games not cut and run after one close loss.

That’s still too much setup time.

It’d fix a lot more than just people not having their perfect comp. I wish they’d remove solo queue entirely and do six stacks only

What would that accomplish?

The game loses all the issues that exist solely because of solo queue. If blizzard had kept the game 6 stack only then the game would have far more team work. Trolls/throwers would practically disappear.

By design, it is a team based game. We are playing a team game without proper teams

If you are que’ing as DPS and can’t play any hitscan Hero, then you shouldn’t be playing DPS.

So, as a Mei main, you are saying I can’t play?

I play Mei, Zen, and Ana. All projectile heroes.

So it is hitscan or GTFO? Is that your vision for the game?

Hitscan is an entirely different role than projectile

If you are playing DPS and completely incapable of switching to any hitscan Hero in order to adapt to the situation, then yes, you should not be playing DPS in Comp Mode.

Like hell I shouldn’t.

We’ll agree to disagree. But you are a hindrance to your teammates when a hitscan DPS is needed. You should work on expanding your available Hero pool.

The best counter for a phara is DVA yet you wanna complain about not having a hitscan

Before arthritis kicked my booty, this was the team I was in. I got to the contenders trials based on my projectile heroes.

If you think someone who can get to pro is a hindrance to their teammates, you are delusional.

My point was, you may block out the person who could solve a problem. That is bad.

Since you will be in the same pool as people who are NOT roleQing in, you will be at a disadvantage for that exact reason.
