Waiting time for a match now as a dps is just not acceptable . It said 10 minutes , 35 minutes later i am still waiting ! . waste of my gaming time , other games are far quicker than overwatch , this needs sorting out .

You can play a match of Paladins while queueing for OW

It is a hard problem to sort.
None of the options are good ones.
Reverting roleQ just puts the problems on the fillers who most likely won’t go back to their old role (I won’t for one)

Something might come in to fix this today. . .let’s see what the devs have planned
Yes, it is accetable.
Seems like people have completely missed the point where they told us AGES AGO, that there will be consiquenses on the most popular role when it comes to waiting times for crying out loud.
Complaining about it without any constructive feedback wont help you getting the q times go faster.

Honestly, I never got a chance to pick dps before 222 - someone had to tank/support
Now I donw’t ever get to play dps cuz I always get tank/support
So nothing changed for me.
The only time I get to play dps is mystery heroes X)

As NOOOOOoooooo said.
In the developer update, he warned popular roles can have a significant queue time. It’s not necessarily the system. Although I supposed this could be improved. But everyone was warned when it came out that certain roles at certain times can have increased queue time
But all the tank and support players who had quit the game were going to return! Role queue was going to bring back the golden days! Role queue was flawless and going to push the game to new heights!
Welp…

I’m still here
and I am a mercy main 1000+hrs 
guess doesn’t count. Feels bad
Joking though I know my profile is hidden
It absolutely is not acceptable, unless you’ve got such a wood for hating dps that you don’t care about the longevity of the game.
I’m a support main, we’re all gamers here, let’s have a little sympathy and come up with solutions that help our buddies out, such as while you wait fixes and quick queue if match is cancelled/backfilled as a start.
I can deal with the queue times. But not when I get “ErRoR sTaRtInG gAmE!!!”

You’ve got 3 lines and each line only has 2 slots in a group.
One line is 50 times longer than the others. What is your solution for shortening the wait of the longer line?

Did I said that I hate dps? No. So stop being so overdramatic about what I said.
Im a dps/flex player, I dont mind waiting in queue cause I know that i’ll atleast get 2 of each role unlike what it was before, etc…
If someone still doesnt know how to use their time while in queue since we have such amazing additions like w-y-w now too, nothing’s will never make them happy regardless of what it’d be.

This is silly reasoning.
I know where you’re coming from. You think dps should play tank or support. But that’s not reasonable at all.
You don’t go in line to order soup in a clothes store.

That’s the question, eh?
My personal idea is to create a hybrid role, with heroes who have a Mechanic to assist their tank and another to assist their healer. Zarya who can shoot allies to give them shield health at the cost of weapon charge, Mei who can block allies in melee range of her when she uses hers, old Brig without passive healing and with armor pack charges, hog who can lay his mask down instead of using it himself, giving four charges of mini take a breather for allies to use, etc.
Then the comp would be 1-1-3-1.

Click QPC ->

If these are reasonable options, why didn’t people use them instead of forcing 2/2/2 on everyone?
I actually think there are other solutions that could help a bit, but I’m waiting for those complaining to come up with something that isn’t “Revert RQ” as if that doesn’t cause a slew of it’s own problems.
I would have quit this game long ago without RQ, I know I’m not alone. DPS doesn’t like waiting in line; I along with many others don’t like the dynamic of join a group, wait for 4-5 people to grab DPS and then everyone plays chicken with Tank/support.
The game needs tanks/supports to be worth playing, so the system must ensure groups contain people who will play the roles (and not do so begrudgingly).
