Ive realized from last nights games that open queue for comp is just a whole mess, theres barely any coherence in the teams unless youre stacking no matter how high you get, and if you just try to have a decent team comp youll probably end up winning a lot, even if youre in a rank higher than youre “meant to be”
Edit, i am not saying open queue is bad, or not fun, im saying its a mess, an incredibly fun mess, but a mess
I didnt struggle climbing either, i climbed well, im just describing how the games felt in comparison to role queue
OQ is the only good mode right now. Every single game in RQ is determined by a Tracer diff right now, and it is an utterly boring and loathsome experience.
OQ is literally the only reason I continue to play this game at all. Lol
Also, this is not true. From Diamond all the way up to the T500 OQ, 99% of the time, you’ll be running three tanks with two supports. That’s been the meta since the release of OW2.
Sometimes you’ll get a Reaper or Bastion, or maybe an Echo or Soj with a Mercy pocket, but again, that’s very rare.
I’d play OQ if they tightened up its matchmaker. As it is, the mode has the disadvantages of RQ (bad matchmaking because of role shortages) without any of the perks.
Even though some of these players make it to Masters or GM Open Q the player I see average as gold, or plat in role queue. The skill difference from a high lvl GM role queue is vastly different from Open q.
Also the ego of Open Q players in Masters in above is next level. You would think they were pro players.
Regardless, its fun sometimes and a nice change of pace from role queue.
Open queue is only good if you have good teammates willing to work together. The rest of the time it sucks, I don’t want to play a game with 4 players who only want to play DPS
You’re regurgitating incorrect information. A master OQ player is usually a master RQ player, diamond at the very least. I’m a platinum tank and I can’t even rank up to platinum on OQ. The competition is by far, harder and better. It’s how OW should be.
Kaplan is a loser for even implementing RQ. He should had just disabled Brigitte from competitive play until they resolved her issue instead of massacring their own game.
Not really… that’s why you left out the rest of my comment. At least in RQ you’re guaranteed to have some sort of structure, even if it’s not a great one. In OQ you’re guaranteed nothing. It’s not fun for me to queue for a game and possibly be matched with 4 players who only want to play DPS
How often you get a semi-structured team comp in OQ is irrelevant. That fact that you can get those awful games with no real team comp is the problem.
There’s no structure when one game your teammates could be 4 DPS and the next they could be 0 DPS
It would be one thing if the team collectively decided that’s what they wanted to do, that’s perfectly fine. The issue is that it’s almost never a collective agreement, it’s just individual players doing whatever they want and not trying to work with their team
I can say its not the case, from when i started yesterday, while my team mostly had a decent comp since i was playing with my team, the enemy teams even all the way up to games where we had several mid table masters people in both teams had games with no tanks at all, 1 support with 3 dps, 4 tanks 1 support, 3 supports 1 dps 1 tank, 4 supports 1 tank etc, out of like the 30-40 games we played maybe 5-10 max the enemy team had 3-2
