Queue times?

[cairnsm]

I used to play the original game back in the day, and I'm considering revisiting it. I'm really enjoying Marvel Rivals, and I'm aware of all the BS that happened with this game; however I'm willing to give it a chance as long it's actually playable. Last I heard, there were complaints of people waiting upwards of 1 hr just to enter a match, although that was 2 years ago. Have there been any improvements?

It depend of the gamemode, if you tag for the arcade low gravity gamemode you can wait as long as you want you will never find a game, or if you group a GM with a bronze the game will try to mirror it in the enemy team and you can also wait forever for that to happend.

In 6v6 game mode the wait times for me are: <1 min for tank, 1 min for DPS and 3/4 min for support, keep in mind that it mainly depends on your rank, the higher you are the higher the wait times for supports are

que times are usually for quick play are usually 1 - 5 mins, the normal 5v5 que is faster

ranked can take longer if you're high elo and on a role that is popular but it also depends on the time of day

Role queue is a problem for the game. Queue times should last less than a minute. Waiting +40 minutes just to play is crazy.

Open Q Quickplay is the fastest. I get 2 minutes or less.

Just be prepared for garbage issues such as poor quality team mates, trolls, and what-not that ruin matches, and the brilliant idea of "leaver penalties" put into Quickplay so you have to be forced to play in crap game modes, and deal with worthless team mates.

All because they dont want to spend 4 weeks trying to build a feasible match maker.

Queue times are not as short as Marvel Rivals, but also Rivals will throw you into a bot game disguised with real player names if you lose 2 games in a row and those have almost no queue time.

maybe everyone around you was outside for christmas? either way where do you live and what's your support rank?
but you've only been in the discussions to crap on this game so i won't doubt it's edited or something, or you're bronze 5

This is the stream of Frogger, he his one of the higest ranked support, of course he his going to have big queues times, especially since support is the most played role at high rank,

What you are doing is called "deceptive imagery", using out of context image in order to manipulate people by obstructing the context to conform to your narrative

I doubt he had +40 minutes queue times when role queue didn't exist.

You know that open queue still exists, right? I saw an open queue stream that had a 30 minute queue last year just because it was a high ranked player.

The current dev team has almost balanced the roles, so the difference between open queue and role queue is not that big, the long queue for DPS in OW1 was just a balance issue.

The current role queue system further splits the player base, with 4 queues for competitive play and +5 queues for quick play. Role queue affects the queue times of open queue, and most players just play the *official* way. As a result, their matches often have +15 minutes queue times, especially for the damage or support roles, depending on their rank.

Open queue used to have queue times of less than a minute, but they are now between 3 to 5 minutes, and sometimes I have experienced open queue times exceeding 10 minutes.

If your queue times are more than 5 minutes you're doing something wrong. Not the game.

Not sure which rank this is but i'm in silver/gold i get like <5 mins. Higher ranks like above gm has higher queue due to low amount of players.

In QP it usually is instant.

this screenshot is kind of deceptive because it's from the rank 1 lucio player, the game has to find him matches where he plays with the best of the best, usually being other pros and streamers
