*Sit in queue for 10 mins...match shuts down due to leaver*

You will not be penalized…

…except for having to wait in another 10 minute queue. Thanks, Forced-role queue.

It is pretty annoying that they did not have the foresight to fix this issue. #butitsabeta

beta or not nothing will change and people will still rather play dps.

Another reason to hate leavers.

If this happens, DPS should get queue priority if queueing again within 1 minute. Relatively easy fix.

Yes, it really happens.

It is not even about that. I hate role queue as much as the next guy, but they should have resolved the issue of canceled matches into double queue.

there are many things that the match making system of this game fails to do, i.e. throwing you into an overtime qp match, or having you sit in queue for 10 minutes just because you want to try to rank up your dps, i like role queue but you cant deny that blizz f’ed it up.

what ive learned from overwatch is, they know how to make a good game but they dont know how to balance it or make a good match making system.

They gave up on balancing the game. Jeff said as much. It’s why “the vision” switched from trying to go for pick rates of all heroes being approximately the same, to him eventually just saying some heroes are designed to be “must-picks”, and others are just “niche picks”.

heres a list of the heroes that I think have 0 value in any situation and you’re better off picking something else

junkrat
d.va
reinhardt
sombra
symmetra

The least they could do is to put you back at the front of the queue.

Never did I say it would but you won’t have to wait twice. Besides waiting 3-10 minutes depending isn’t that bad, I get to play dps without people losing their minds.
Kids these days just have zero patience is the real problem. Growing up in an instant gratification world this will do them some good to “wait their turn”

I was in the Air Force during Desert Storm and I acquired a particular set of skills. Chief among those is the ability to sit and wait for hours.

i will wait my turn if this game was f2p
is it f2p?
no?
then i paid premium and i expect premium, if they cant deliver a decent wait time for their matches then this game will be less premium and more f2p before 2020.

What would that fix… that would just make dps outside of 1 min window have to wait even longer

It puts them at the front of the queue again if someone leaves the beginning of the match. Duh?
