What gives? I was told by this forum that this role is as undesirable as tank, but right now it’s <1m, <4m and <11m.
Currently queuing support and been waiting for 5 mins.
You lie. Nobody told you that, and dps always have the highest queue times. Then supports, then tanks. Thats the law.

I wonder if this is a sign of support being too op because this role is not fun, again as told by the forum, so it must be that they are op.
Queues are bug, my support queues are instant (QP).

Nah, supports is more popular than damage and tank combined, but support mains will never admit their role is the easiest and most open to play than the other two.

If I queue for dps+support, I get a split of the two, with actually more dps games. I’m not complaining, tbh.
I’m not really sure why support is saturated, could be all sorts of reasons.
- Maybe it’s an accessible and fun role.
- Maybe 6v6 is siphoning off other players.
- Maybe dps and tank players have been siphoned off by Marvel Rivals, but supports haven’t.
- Maybe only addicts and whales are left playing, and support has waifus

QP support longer than 5 minutes? Yeah not in this universe it ain’t.
I just stopped playing an hour or so ago, and when I was playing the queue time for support was 1 minute. DPS was 5 minutes, which yeah, that’s fairly normal.
Might be region dependent, but since you’re posting on the US forums, and that’s the region I play in, I reckon you’re just lying through your teeth.

That’s odd because when I queue dmg & support I seem to be getting dmg 3 times out of 4.
If I put all roles, it’s a near guarantee that I’ll play tank, however…
And we can end the thread with this basically.
Support and DPS queues have been almost equal for years now but yeah, because some days at X rank DPS will take the lead (by 1 min maybe), some people get to pretend / try to gaslight others about Support not being bloated/easy.
It must be region, rank and time of the day. Support is longest for me too and dps usually give me extra credits for selecting that role. No wonder since DPS is so weak now and Support has been so strong with many free out of jail card abilities.
Supports easy? , hahahahaha , since the DPS passive (S9) and the more buffs to this passive (S14), playing support is playing the roulete of the dead and respawn simulator.

6v6 estimated queue times are bugged. Support queues are never longer than 2-3 minutes lol. At least EU/NA.

Ehh, as long as you’ve got smart players, most healers can handle keeping their team up.
I rarely have trouble with my teams until they do stupid things like chase the enemy for extra kills, go around corners to break line of sight etc. Then they die because I can’t heal through solid objects and I won’t heal stupid plays.
But otherwise? Unless the enemy dives and takes me out first? My support play is pretty fair.
Source? You cant spit BS like that, you dont know OP

I play on console. 5v5 QP queue time for support has been below 3 minutes for the past 5 years, under a minute currently. It IS the longest in 6v6 for me though, with over 11 Minutes as compared to 4/6 minutes meaning double the wait time. Not trying to prove anything, just giving independant data to help facilitate the termination of some useless bickering. Youre welcome
Yeah sure bud. Thats clearly why Support queue is the bottleneck and nobody wants to play Support right ?
… oh wait, its the complete opposite.
Imagine not knowing that Support has the highest value return per skill invested in the game 
Personally I think it’s that most of the DPS players have left for Marvel Rivals. At least, that’s what playing Flex and getting DPS like 90% of the time is telling me.
Don’t want to necessarily be THAT person but… is that really such an issue?
Queue times are related to your skill level in each role + the quantity of players currently playing. So saying Tank <1 min / DPS <5 min / Supp <10 mins doesn’t mean anything besides the fact you have a higher hidden ELO in support.

They are 4-5 mins for me now in 6v6.
Support has been the longest queue for me in QP since OW2 launched.
