And for the record. I find comments like these absolutely dumb. Why?
Post your own key right now and you have a 100% chance of finding a group in 20 minutes at MOST. If its a value key (+7 or +10) then in 5 minutes you have a chance.
The queues in soloQ would not be shorter because it would not spawn new tanks and healers out of thin air - which is why DPS players wait so long in LFG. How many times do we need to repeat this?
Tanks and healers have no reason to use SoloQ if the LFG system remains. So the soloQ would be full of just DPS - the way solo shuffle has turned out.
The only people who would have shorter queues would be the DPS that would keep using the LFG system due to other DPS players shifting to the soloQ.
That is like saying tanks and healers have no reason to queue LFR because it gives no meaningful gear. And the reality is different.
There are many reasons tanks and healers would solo Q: fast port in and out, no need fly and summon, newbie tanks and healers, fast run of low level M+, etc. And people do play ALTS. There are always low item level and newbie tank/healer players will use solo queue.
Solo queue just offers another option. It’s not mandatory and you don’t need to use it if you don’t want to. And you don’t need to worry about other people’s queue time.
Not sure if its worth even disusing it with Viscent if he thinks that IF soloQ will get implanted, it will work as your regular LFG with insta ports like your random heroic dungeon and what not.
