Jeff has recently suggested that any chance of a role queue or guild system isn’t in the immediate future and have more problems than solutions.
Tbf any of these options are going to have problems or absuses, but we need SOMETHING to save the current cancerous state of “I don’t care” OW competetive is in.
If I want to DPS, I’d accept longer queue times if it meant I could play DPS without being in a race to instalocks it, then play a game of chicken with 2-3 other players who also want DPS to see who cracks first. This usually ends up with bitter fillers who are ready to flame whoevers DPSing the second things go south in are match.
If im tanking or healing, I’d like the knowledge that at least starting out I’d have a balanced team over wondering if I’ll be wasting my time tanking for 4 lone wolf DPSers or being forced to switch to Mercy to solo heal.
Comp is a crap show and I see more and more people leaving in frustration and I’m reaching my limit as well with the BS going on in comp.
We need fixes now before the player base as a whole just dies out because of frustration with this amazing but flawed as hell game.
It’s so simple- remove all disatvantages for playing in a group and make a guild system.
So everyone will be able to form a team before the match and it would be almost as if you play with 5 friends
Grouping gives a distinct advantage. The game decides to put you in a game where the enemy has an equal advantage. That’s called competition.
How is this not fun?
His point is that even if you group up to prevent the RNG of solo queue, the system still stacks things against you by finding a group that’s sever SR higher than you and probably far more coordinated but thinks it’s “fair” because you’re also in a stack.
So comp right now is either roll the dice by yourself or be ready to get stomped as a group bc the system doesn’t work for crap.
Clans/Guilds = clan/guild wars. Clan/Guild war = unofficial tournament. Unofficial tournament = no sharing money with Blizzard, distracting some viewers from official streams.
Except its not equal, they are likely 300 SR combined SR above your group.
I’ve never won a single solitary game where I was in a group of 3 or more people, every single one of them we got DESTROYED, and this was over the course of like a week and dozens of games.
It was so disappointing and disheartening, the people I was attempting to group with gave up on grouping and went back to solo queue, because they could find games they could win solo, where every attempt to group was punished.
Hell if I know, but I do we were lower than our opponents EVERY SINGLE GAME. Probably because lack of stacks at our SR, so the only other groups to pair us against are better than us, putting us a huge disadvantage and basically giving the other team a free win.
As long as you are all the same rank play with friends all you want, but if my friend is bronze and i am in gold no i dont want that person on my team cause 99% of the time is is a garenteed lose
