Why does Open Queue even exist in Comp?

Genuinely, what’s the point? It’s all tanks.

Do you only get end season rewards from either open or role queue or do you get them from each?

Either way, it should be an arcade mode and not a competitive mode. It’s not competitive. It’s a joke.

Oh cool. Guess I’ll go back to ignoring it entirely.

Question still remains though: Why? Why does this mode exist in 5v5?

Basically the same reason as anything outdated and unnecessary.

A niche group of players who can’t let go of the past.

  • Basically a ploy by Blizzard to see if it would bring back players who left
  • It failed

Because it is the high skill version of role Q? The matchmaking is better by far and we do not need to sit and wonder which DPS is the bronze and which is the master smurf

If you’re trying to be ironic, then you’re doing a good job.

Ego too big to spill coffee off the table?

imo, it is a far far far better mode than 222/122

absolutely, why would i want coffee all over my devices?

Aww yes 3 tanks 2 support much better

as I have already stated stated, I find role-less queue to be a far far better mode than 222/122, and I am far from alone in this

In any case, the implied claim that all role-less queue matches are 3 tanks and 2 supports is a failed one, as this simply isnt the case in all matches; and in those cases where it is, it isnt driven by role-less queue itself, but rather by the unneeded and unwanted buffs to the tank class

i tried it for a weekend it was not stop 3 tanks 2 supports steam rolling its not a balanced game mode and until it is it shouldn’t be a comp mode that would be like making capture the flag a comp mode or death match a comp modes

I do accept and understand that there are players who prefer the excessive queuing times, lack of flex play, unnecessary restrictions, and other severe problems that 122/222 brings to the game

Feel free to stick with those kind of matches if role-less queue is not to your liking
