again, I am glad – very, very glad – this mode was added, but if you’re evaluating it as a possible permanent addition to the game, I do hope you keep in mind that you’ve placed it at an enormous comparative disadvantage to 222 competitive due to its placement in the arcade, where some players will never even know it exists
Said another way, I am hoping the inevitable comparison between participation rates in the 222 mode and participation rates in the role-less (open) mode is done through a lens which factors in this specific disadvantage.
I take it as a given that raw participation numbers will be lower than for 222 since many players wont as I said before even know it exists at all
Well, glad you ppl had fun atleast. For me, it was just as bad as pre-2-2-2. Did my 10 placements, never touching that crap again.
1 match had 2-2-2 all the way through.
6 matches had 3-5 dps all the way through.
The other 3 varied throughout the match.
2 matches had drawnout fights that when lost ended up with tanks swapping to dps and we then getting completely stomped.
3 of them had ppl saying gg after the first lost teamfight (and one of them still was won in the end).
None of the matches with less then atleast 3-2-1 was won.
I remember very much why I couldnt even bring myself to do placements season 15-17. And why I got back into comp again after 2-2-2.
I’m super happy about this addition.
I wanted to try competitive, but I find open queue more appealing than role-queue.
QPC is nice, but I havent played as much RQ.
This will def get me playing more.
Honest question, would be on your radars to change Quick Play Classic back to quick play, and renaming current QP as “Unranked” or something similar?
Or, maybe add a fourth “role” option that would be “Open Queue” for QP and Comp, so they share the same UI, and highlighting open queue would have a small warning about only playing with other open queue players.
I actually prefer Open Queue over the regular competitive mode because it brought back my love of Competitive in a way. I’m currently at 3314 SR which is the highest I’ve ever been. One round, I’m having fun as Zarya and the next, I choose Lucio. I start with Ashe and then switch to Ana.
If it were to become an official mode, I wouldn’t mind playing it all the time over the regular one. And yes, I know Quick Play Classic is a thing but anything that doesn’t have SR has bad matchmaking so I ignore them.
