There are 2 other roles you can pick with shorter queue times.

Ever consider that the long queue time is because there are lots of people queuing DPS?
Which would then contradict your statement of the game being dead

Support queue times are sometimes just as long as DPS, I’ve even queue’d both DPS and support and actually got given DPS
Tanking is just really unpopular

This is a lie. On any way, on any rank.
Be it console or PC. Prove that with a screenshot.

Long queue times do not always indicate a dead game. The ratio of players in the roles could also be skewed. If 50% of players want to play dps, they will have much longer queue times as they have to wait for the tanks and supports to finish games and become available to play with

It’s not the players’ fault that Blizzard made 50% of the roster to be DPS heroes who have vastly more variety and engagement than tanks/supports, resulting in the majority of the playerbase preferring DPS, but still forcing 2/2/2 on everyone.

I mean, a lot of people are going to believe the game is dying because of the queue times. For instances, One of my friends left the game after of the implementation because he believed the game was dying.
I queued 5 hours the other day in WoW.

Well, don’t play a card game if you don’t like cards.
Don’t play Overwatch if you don’t like it’s roles.
There’ll still be lots of people around, and you’ll make other DPS players life slightly easier and give them a bit less queue time if you decide to leave. Between leaving or removing role queue, I personally prefer for players to move on to other game and let those who want, to play the game was it should be played.

Yeah lets compare an MMO where you can do 10 other things while in queue to Overwatch where you can’t do anything except stare at a menu screen. Oh and in OW if you end up with an AFK player in your queue, the game will still load everyone in, cancel in 30 seconds, and then you get to sit in another new 10-15 min queue. Great design, so exciting.

You telling people not to play overwatch is gonna make this game even more dead!
If people hate the game so much, that’s the only recommendation I can give.
Removing role-queue would be a massive step back!
If people don’t like the system, just move to other game who allows them to play DPS or anything. But quit hating the only feature in years that actually saved this game.

Their fault for being uninformed of how basic ratios work. I think blizzard could do more to improve on pushing the ratio closer to balanced, but I believe there will always be an excess amount of dps players in this game.

Oh please. Don’t pretend you play every DPS hero. Half of them aren’t even viable and most people stick with a few ‘main’ heroes in the DPS role if they’re not a one-trick.
