yes, there is a problem when you have to wait 10+ mins to play dps

Guess what, there aren’t an infinite amount of players. And apparently 70% of those we got want to play dps.

Unless there is something exciting for Christmas, something that will bring players like me back, I don’t see the queue times changing.

Queue for tank or STFU.

It is. Myself and all my friends have stopped playing. Just checking to see if they’ve scrapped the horrible queue-system occasionally.

Its hilarious really… dps players complaining that queues are too long… well thars because no ine was playing tank
Now… which group was complaining that tanks were too powerful? Calling for nerfs to tanks etc etc systematically making it harder and harder and less and less fun to play tank? Hmmm… i think it was the DPS players wasnt it? x-D
So you want short queue times… which requires people to play tanks… but you dont want tanks to be viable for play? Thats a paradox if ever i saw one
The way to fix this and get more players playing tanks is to make tanks better, stronger etc
If you have tried to play tank recently you will know just how difficult it is to get value out of them… rein can die in a millisecond without his barrier and thats before the patch that is going to rend tanks ability to defend anyone on their team
Which is just going to make the queue times longer… well done DPS your selfish behaviour first caused role queue to be necessary… and now is causing your own queue times to grow exponentially worse good job is shooting yourself in the foot twice

You it would seem, flagged for spam along with this topic
No there isn’t a problem, go and play QPC or pick another role.

Why are you talking about the word ‘most’?

Because you thought i was talking about you when i said “dps players”
If you play more than just exclusively dps then My generalisation does not apply to you
Hence no you are not a bad person for wanting to play dps sometimes but people who play exclusively dps… who complain about tanks to the point those tanks are nerfed into unpayability whilst concurrently complaining about long dps queue times are bad people
Understand now?

Oh, Ok. Just that it was in a reply to me and seemed to imply I’d used the word ‘most’.
As long as you making sense to yourself.

Ever since the recent patch tank queue times have increased at least for me, Tanks like orisa and sigma made the game way too slow paced. If you set up two tanks behind a barrier and a bastion plus a mercy to dmg boost it, in a low rank like i am in there is no way you are going to win that game. Tanks were way too op in lower ranks and i have been having much more fun as a tank/dps player in this recent patch. No need to throw the blame on anyone or be a dick about anything. Tanks were nerfed and mostly just by their capability to protect their team but now they are more resilient to dmg, how you may say and for example the Armor being buffed from absorbing 3 to 5 plus the 50 armor Orisa got made her exponentially more resilient to dmg. I think this patch was much needed and was very good for the whole of the community
I think most of you don’t understand the problem at all.
Long queue times make me play tank or healer, not my favourite roles, but ok.
Problem is: you get matched all the time with really bad DPS players, that can play along with tanks at all, and/or you get healers and a tank, who don’t play this roles and are no good for the team, but also don’t want to wait 10-15 minutes for a game.
Frustration levels are really high in many games because of this. And at some points you really just want to switch for a minute to get rid of the annoying Pharah that your DPS players can’t shoot down, but you can’t. So you die all the time.
Making it impossible to switch in Overwatch defeats some intentions of this game.
And that’s only in Quickplay.
For solo players role queue is really bad in my opinion. With an established team it’s not a problem, because most players have a fixed role anyway.
Maybe this game is just not meant for people who don’t have a clan.

and worst of all, quick play classic is now full of uncoordinated players that only play it to get play of the game (which in my opinion is the real thing they had to change to make people play other roles instead of forcing role lock down our throats)
.by putting the mode in arcade they killed it for good as now you won’t find even the rare players that actually tried to win. it’s no different from the no limits they put out when they release a new hero.
