The game is dead. If I go duo or solo and my friend wants to play DPS we have to wait in queue for 10 minutes, sometimes more. I know you’re probably thinking,“Just change your role” but what if we just want to play DPS?
For me its not a problem, i’m healer main role but see my friend change they roll and what??? we find a game with bad dps players, when the only thing they can do its spam spam spam “I NEED HEALER” and play random because they dont know what are doing!
this randons DPS players wants a babysiter healer and im tired of that! because they are more team players in the game!, its hard really hard play like this!
i play for fun and whit this i dont get any fun at all! 10 min for a match and see this toxixiti… We really love this game and it’s sad to see it dying like this.

The game is dead because too many players are in queue for DPS?
Something doesn’t add up, Watson.
To make it easy for you:
There is one option to shorten queue times for a specific role, and that is reducing the amount of people playing that role. You can either ban 50% of all DPS players, or tell them they can only play at certain times of the day. There are no other options. Of course you can remove role queue, but that will simply lead to 5 DPS per lobby as it was before.
Simple logic. Your friend can do his part by either not playing Overwatch anymore, or maining another role.

Simple logic for me, MOIRA DPS in competive four you, because you can play whit soldier? AHAHHAHAHAHHA
Sorry, but I don’t really get your point. What has Moira or Soldier to do with this? Maybe it’s because of your deficient knowledge of English, you might want to clarify.
It’s never been a bad idea, just bad players whining.

I think its a good idea, prevents 5 dps and one tank/healer. If you want to play 5 dps go to classic quick play in arcade.

Terrible game. Play Minecraft hunger games.
Not dead, just a lot of people want to play dps probably because more classes or they just don’t like playing tank/healer. Role queue isn’t a bad idea though, I’d rather not go back to a 5 dps lobby, change my mind.
what about 3-2-1? this could possible solve the sustain problem that some people find with the game and still keep relatively balanced teams

Then it isn’t totally even. I get some people might want to play like that, but I prefer 2/2/2.

For tank and support mains the game has never been better. For Junkrat mains the game is worse. I’m okay with that.

yeah, just go play something else. I uninstalled this piece of crap 2 weeks ago. Waiting 5-10 min for a match is not feasible in the long term, if you want to play instead of staring at the loading screen.

i’m a brig/moira main but i hate this change nonetheless, ever since i started playing i tried to learn to ADAPT to a match, there were maps where i couldn’t use my mains so i had to learn back-ups.
if there was a choke i would switch to junkrat, help break it then change back to healer.
if there was a need for another thank i would pick orisa or rein, then switch back to heal when i wasn’t needed anymore.
with role lock i CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE.
I CAN’T DO THE THING THAT MADE THE GAME FUN FOR ME.
now i log in ONCE A WEEK to FORCE myself to do the skin missions and if there is no event going on i don’t log in at all.
if you think this is GOOD for the game, then you have serious problems.
Tough luck. All the while I can do more things that make the game fun for me.
Who is more important now? Neither, exactly.
Ye, that’s pretty much what I said.
so it HAS to piss off someone? couldn’t they have, you know, THOUGHT this thing over and just try and find a middle ground to at least limit the damage?
No. Of course they didn’t. They just slammed this change in without taking into consideration the problems that were going to pop up and left it at that.
You can’t make a role lock without an auto-fill mechanic and expect queues to be smooth. you can’t refuse to balance heroes and then be surprised players only use the best ones.
As i have been saying, even implementing hybrid classes would have mitigated this disaster, allowing people to queue in different roles and still be able to play their mains while limiting the dreaded 5 sniper comp by making them available only to the 2 players who queued as DPS.
But what are we even arguing about? if the leaks are true and Overwatch 2 is a SEPARATE game where you have to get all your stuff from scratch (no skin-transfer) they are probably giving up on basic Overwatch in favor of the new cow to milk.
What they DON’T realize, is that people are a bit angry at the moment and won’t buy the new game if the devs don’t get their heads out of their rears first.
