Role Queue was objectively the best thing the devs ever did.

Kind of agree but they should've had two flex role spots and then two dps, one tank one support role.

??? Why wouldn't they just que the role of the character they want to one trick? But it doesn't really matter if they want to do that that would be the point of flex roles which allows the teams to adapt to what they need better.

I wouldn't mind going back to goats..

Wouldn't have to worry about trash damage players wasting player slots..

Over all going back to those days would be in improvement over the current state of things..

Personally I just wanna see all the clueless selfish casuals screaming and crying about how they can't win matches due to making even worse team comps, due to having no forced format..

A lot of players hated double shield tanks in matchmaking. Blizzard could've just reworked them and kept the same formula.

That was the AoE healing issue from Baptiste and Brigitte, these two are the main reason double shield killed overwatch 1 til the end.

Nobody wants to play support

even without brig or bap you could run double shield with lucio and moria, it was the tank balance

That's why role queue is good, that way you're only matched up with people that actually want to or are comfortable playing it
As opposed to having 4 stubborn teammates who just insta lock dps and throw the match

Except it does the opposite, getting people to play roles they don't want to just for shorter queue times...


All role queue is a band aid attempting to address problems that exist solely due to a stupid player problem..

If we did not have it damage players would be throwing tantrums because there viable...

In addition every match would be the exact same train wreck experience that open queue is..

Because most players are stupid or selfish to build a cohesive team comp

What a load of bs lol
If you prefer shorter queue times over playing dps that means you don't refuse playing support or tank
I no longer play tank, I think it's not a fun role, I'm not going to queue for tank just because the timer might be shorter, no one willingly submits themselves to a role that they absolutely do not want to play just for a shorter queue
If they really do not want to play support or tank, they'll simply not play support or tank.

While before, even if you didn't like a role and refused to play it you'd still be forced to if you were met with instalocking mouth breathers

I would glady take 5 even 10 minute queues, if it ensured I wasn't getting matched with the most ignorant, clueless players in the matchmaking pool at the time...
