❌ The HUGE myth about Open Queue. hulk's challenge to propagators

General Discussion
1

Many claim that 4+ Damage games are frequent in Competitive Open Queue and furthermore, that one cannot expect to win with such compositions.

My challenge to you:

Play 10 games of Competitive Open Queue.

Post the replay codes without leaving any out.

The only rules are:

  1. You promise to do your best to win/play your best or preferred heroes, regardless of your team composition
  2. You go into Open Queue with an… Open… mind, disregarding previous brainwashing r.e. 2-2-2. Do not try to “fill” any perceived gaps in the composition.
  3. You mute voice chat in volume settings and Ctrl+Shift+C to hide the chat, and focus on your own game.

I eagerly await your codes, thank you.

I might do this, i enjoy open que, however i dont know if i want to play 10 games, Overwatch is draining

It’s mostly GOATs in diamond+ and 3-2-1 in ranks below.

5

65% players that don’t want to switch up because it clearly isn’t working.

Nope, not DPS always no.
But alot of players that blatantly don’t realize they’re not helping out and not wanting to help out.

I can do this. It will take a while. And I don’t really care about the claim. I am curious how it will go.

3 is sufficient to be wrong, what’s the point with this?

i mean im not a propagator…in fact im the opposite and have always said its a myth/boogie monster…here are my last 8 placements (i have 2 others pinned or i would link all 10)…with the exception of the first and last every single one was 222 (and the aforementioned 2 were 132/222)…i played all 3 roles…switched with others in between rounds…people were in comms…they were perfectly fine matches

thing is people have ONE match with 4 or 5 dps out of 20 and you immediately get the “all i get is dps!!!” bs…

enjoy my terrible 39 yr old aim (tomorrow!)

Damn old man you are getting GrayFalcon a run for his money

You had me until you said “dont try to fill any perceived gaps.” Tf am I suppose to do? Pick a random hero? That will just create problems

someone recently posted in an “old age” thread that they were in their 50’s…the man/woman is my hero :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s extremely tilting when everyone picks DPS, refuses to switch and gets crushed as a result, regardless of how often it actually happens.

Also, many players pre-Role Queue felt obligated to fill almost every game instead of playing the role they actually want to play. And they get yelled at if they get sick of filling and decide to switch.

And don’t tell people it never happened when videos like this existed in 2018:

Sorry I don’t wanna be always the ‘‘negative’’ guy but… what’s the point of this challenge?

15

Yes, because videos that are meant as jokes are super accurate :roll_eyes:

16

Well, the best jokes are relatable. And looking at the comments and like/dislike ratio, I’d say that video was extremely relatable.

You can’t judge the relatability of something based on likes and dislikes…

Oh, I didn’t know you were the arbitrary judge of what I can and can’t deduce about a video based on its popularity.

I’ve been around long enough I know for a fact I’ve had plenty of 4 DPS games. Thankfully, role queue might have been around long enough now that people won’t try some dumb stuff like that for a while (that’s if we ever get open role comp).

Can’t speak for everyone, though. We have had open roles in Arcade for a long time, and people still rarely choose tank.
