if you queue as all roles you have 33% chance to get any of the roles and will only be queued with otheres that queue for all roles.
if you queue as 1 or 2 roles you in a diffrend queue for only 1 or 2 roles players.
no downside if ppl behave mature.
i have not played 1 dps game yet because it takes 20mins.
99% tank and 1% healer.
this is only because blizzard don’t care that the game, and it will soon be dead.
I will be very suprised if OW2 will make a diffrends. i am not getting it.
I think there might be a problem. I would guess that more than half of DPS one-tricks would queue for the random queue and leave/throw if they don’t get what they want. Heck, DPS one-tricks now queue for other roles and leave/throw/soft-throw by playing tanks and supports as if they were DPS.
I agree He1nz… Few days ago i was tank and the 2 healers left, so i wanted to switch to healer in comp… Yeah that wasnt possible now i just stick with qp classic, less then 10 seconds que time in stead of minimum of 5 for all roles in qp or comp AND its way more fun
This is why I always wanted role queue to be an OPTION, not forced. The long DPS queue times ruin the feel of the game for those of us that like to mix it up.
Dude, you miss the core issue, that there are masses of players queing for DPS, but very few queuing for other roles. You can’t remedy this unless you open the gates for everyone (=dumping rq).
RQ is here to stay and it makes the game so much more stable and tollerable… sorry if you dont like it but alot of us do like it because it stops people like me losing match after match after match because we are unlucky enough to always be on the 5 dps instalock uncooperative team when the other team has a stable 222
Secondly i suspect you are the tupe of player who complained about goats… well thats not a thing anymore remove RQ and that comes straight back
The problem ISN’T: when you play.
The problem IS: when you wait 10 minutes for a game as a DPS role.
I love the game when I’m IN the game, but waiting 10 minutes to play as my favorite DPS role IS a problem.
I get that people who play as Tanks/Supports don’t have a problem, but it goes without saying.
But for DPS players this is a BIG problem, the fact that it doesn’t effect you only means good for you, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem.
no more in qp is the it’s just qp excuse heard, people actively try in qp as they should thanks to role q.
you have the casual modes in arcade, where qpc lives, where you belong
actually I main DPS, when I want to “play now” I play tank or support, but I can exercise delayed gratification and wait 10 mins if I really want to play DPS
if DPS were not so selfish, the DPS wait times wouldn’t be a problem because there would be an even distribution of players amongst the roles
but because this game is infested with hyperactive children (regardless of age) who only “wanna shoot stuff an be cool” there are thousands more DPS than tank or healer, and hence these people have to wait for it…
its the same as anything, if the demand is high, and the supply low, you have to wait your turn
But there’s a huge issue there. Ever tank/support would always go for role queue, because they have low wait times, know which role to expect and have balanced teams. That means if anyone ever chooses the option to not get role queue, 99% of them do it because they only want to play DPS. And the 99% is probably not even exaggerated.

This line of defence is so baffling. Why do people (who don’t like the game btw) assume DPS mains are somehow worse than tank mains or support mains? That DPS are children? What makes you think that? There was no class struggle before role lock. DPS players would switch in the moment of need to help the team. Now they can’t and they are being blamed for this socialist system installed to appease people who don’t like the game to begin with.
Honestly, people who find solace that DPS players are getting punished with queue times have some real issues.
You know, or maybe it’s not an issue of players being…
or…
It’s because the DPS heroes, or rather the role itself, tend to be a lot more attractive and fun to play to the average gamer.
A lot of tanks and supports are just boring to play. And on top of that there’s not that many of them to choose from.
I can not for the life of me understand why they thought that these “Shield tanks” would be appealing to most people.
Back before Role Queue, whenever I had a Reinhardt on the team, it was because somebody caved in and went tank because the team needed it.
So don’t blame the players for the long DPS queue. Why wouldn’t a person want to play their favourite hero/role?
TL;DR: Blizzard failed at making Tanks and Supports Interesting to the average player.
So only a minority plays them.
And a lot of the time it’s because some character within those roles is an easy ticket to Masters.
I don’t assume DPS are worse than tanks or support mains, I state the fact that there are many more of them " a fact that cannot be dismissed simply due to evidence" longer DPS queue times = more dps players than tank or support
dps are acting childish, because they cannot wait their turn, or do something they may not exactly like for the betterment of the thing they love E.G playing a role that is less favourable for a better game experience for all
children want and take and care not for others, adults give, and suffer and compromise
never once before RQ was I ever in a team where 1 of the 5 dps switched to tank when we needed it, I posit that there are many others like be who experienced this
so waiting in line for your mc’donalds order or grocery shopping is socialist?, I thought it was good manners…
I love this game
no, I would rather everyone gets what they want, unfortunately this isn’t happy sparkle wonder world, and compromises have to be made, the game needs stability for longevity and balance, queue times are the compromise
then the average gamer needs to learn that this isn’t a “FPS FFA game”, and that they need a Team of all different kinds of tactics to win and have fun
boring to play? subjective and irrelevent, this isnt an FPS FFA, its a Hero shooter
they are not, no one hero is supposed to tick all the boxes of every player, thats the point of having all the different heros, because there is something for everyone, unfortunately blizzard neglected to anticipate the amount of borg like NPC style players who all want to play the “shoot shoot kill feel good” hero and dont like the “protec shield and stratagise” hero
they caved because their desire to win the match trumped their desire to play shooty Mc’DPS face
i blame the inability of people to adapt, change and find new ways of making things previously seen as unfun, more fun
stupidity is not a right its a disease, one that can be cured if it were not for pig headed ignorence and self absorbtion
People being selfish/children or whatever doesn’t have to do with anything, the role queue system wasn’t created to discipline players, the real issue still stands - DPS players shouldn’t wait 10 minutes to play a game.
now i just stick with qp classic, less then 10 seconds que time in stead of minimum of 5 for all roles in qp or comp AND its way more fun
