So so many people are going to leave this game when rolequeue is a thing

I can’t see them sticking with it due to the revenue dropping. People like one game after another, not waiting 15 minutes between them, it’s bloody obvious. It’s human psychology. I know 2 2 2 gets alot of support on here, but this forum does not reflect the more casual players who want a quick fix of fun with their fave hero…On wow you could do other things whilst waiting for a dungeon/raid.

The forum only has the complainers while the rest of the community is out enjoying the game… far more people love the PTR now than the forums realize and I’m one

if there was no 2-2-2, people will leave the game because players will pick whatever they want

now that 2-2-2 is a thing, people are leaving because its too restrictive

people will leave regardless of what they put in the game

Yeah but the ptr are the more hardcore players, the kind who rage at 4 dps. The casual crowd do not care.

Not hardcore, I just want to start playing what’s inevitable instead of clinging in to the past.
And although I don’t rage at 4 dps, those comps arnt healthy for the game plain and simple because the people trying to rank and heal can’t do their job properly.

I know several people returning once role-queue hits. It sounds more like you WANT people to leave rather than have any hard evidence that the leavers outnumber the returners.

I’ll take that bet. Djdk

I think most people sub-conciously don’t care about their rank and just enjoy shooting things with whatever their fave heroes are.

As a long time leaver, I only play it to try a somewhat interesting ptr patch or when gf really insists for us to play it, I’m quite excited for 2-2-2.
The start will be rough, I’m convinced the end result will be much better than they’ve been doing for a while.

People that would leave like that? See ya. We’ll have better matches for it.

My concern is for QP where 4+ DPS isn’t a problem that people want fixing, otherwise they wouldn’t pile in there playing it over and over.

For competitive, we mostly see 2-2-2, or 3 DPS comps anyway, because people respect it and only really deviate from it when something happens in the match that prompts the switch in formation.

I think honestly, a whole lot of competitive’s problems would be much better fixed with 2 Factor/SMS Authentication; as it’s the alt accounts that are there to mess about, the smurfs, the one tricks that are the heart of so many problems.

Yes, it can be circumvented, but it’s a lot of effort. People keep telling me 2-2-2 won’t fix everything but it’ll make things better - so I just don’t see why the same stance is taken with SMS authentication.

like in wow , p^lay something useful that s all

I play with casuals all the time. Seeing as I play from Gold-Diamond.

There isn’t a game that goes by that people request 2 healer and another tank (I tank)

Not sure where OP is making stuff up but these change has shaken up the community and brought a lot of people back, including some of my friends who haven’t played in like a year.

We wont know anything until the dust settles.

Mostly the bounce back, those who think 222 is going to solve something. After a week or so they will hard crash with reality and go like "oh … yeah the main problem is still there, meh. Im out".

That isn’t how this game works, people will stubbornly stick to their mains. I have 2 friends one with sym the other as Hanzo overwhelmingly as their mains, and it’s because they love playing them. They could play tank but do not enjoy it. They are gonna leave when 2 2 2 comes in, it is not rocket science. Another hero shooter will come along that isn’t so restrictive and they’ll move to that.

People are going to leave the game because they don’t want to live in a role queue environment where they are actually forced to play as a team.

Has nothing to do with money.

Don’t think it’s possible to get any worse than it is today, as it stands now the game is pretty much unplayable at times.

Yep and how is 2-2-2 going to change that?

Cause you can’t give the example of the PTR having longer Queues. It has nowhere near the player base of the actual live game. If Que times are a problem when it hits live, then your point will be accurate. Until then… :man_shrugging:

Also it very well may be a problem, because the DPS role has far more characters then both the Support and Tanks combined. Which is why I and I know plenty of other people, feel they should focus more on those two roles before releasing another DPS character. It would be the smart move to try to even out the amount of characters per role, as that will have a difference when it comes to que times.

I think that is rubbish otherwise people wouldn’t be playing it. They exaggerate how bad it is.
