Why does open queue exist?

Unranked open queue looks like the most popular gametype to me. As it should be.

OQ comp seemed less populated than it ever was when I was climbing. I stopped to play it when quad tanks + Moira was perceived as mandatory.

So I’m already kinda ‘forced’ to play role queue and I dislike it. Also, I already have very low queue times. I dislike it too.

Waiting 17 seconds to end up with 3 beginners in your team in 90% of your competitive games isn’t good for the game. At this point, waiting 3 minutes or even 5 to get better games would be better. A good part of the ‘support issue’ lies just there by the way. Too many games feel absolutely uncarryable.

The most dislikeable aspect of RQ, that ‘prison queue’ feeling is still there and more than ever. The cell even seems a bit smaller. Swapping to Brigitte out of desperation is just unprecedented for me. At least I have discovered the Baptiste counter-pick in the process, though.

Role queue was and still is a mistake. It has damaged the game and continues to do so as we speak.
