That DPS Queue time hurts to look at


Greater than 10 mins?
That’s GTA Online tier
They’d better get to work on sorting out the kinks

Is it just for comp?

Keep in mind this picture is probably from the internal test servers at Blizzard.

Jeff said that some roles might see extended queue times, and that he thinks that role would likely be Damage, but it sounds like he’s not fully sure of that.

He said that there will be a BONUS given to those roles that are more needed/less wait time. It WILL balance DPS out… If DPS has long queue, and they are currently giving BONUS for picking support, many more people are gonna want to get that bonus (if its good); thus switching from DPS to support.

As a support/tank player, I couldn’t be happier.

Considering Jeff estimated 20 mins last time they talked about it, that’s actually quicker than most expected.

Doubt it’d be like this in practice.

I’m expecting >15 for DPS and support and like <5 for tank.

It’s not like dps is the most popular role

Of course the Damage role will see heightened queue time. There are more DPS players than Support / Tanks so when a Support / Tank player queues up, it’ll be practically instant.

Expect the queue times in PTR to be higher then usual considering the general amount of people play PTR (very little).

Less dps tryhards is a win in my book. If they added more tanks/supports to even out the bloated dps roles. And did a damage nerf so the two roles could do their jobs. We’d not be at this point, dps has been babied and coddled to the point the two other roles are some of the biggest gone to other games we’ve had.
Truth be told the only mode where it feels like you’re doing said role is Mayhem because you have the health even with the insane amount of damage this game throws. A Rein can hold the line, Dva can peel for backline without immediately being popped on her way back out.
