hoping to get role queueing soon

You'll be hoping for a while. Devs have confirmed they aren't considering it.

They're not interested in ever including Role Queuing. They've come out and posted about it already and the link has been posted here a few times.

youre just playing with bad players lol dont kill last min 6 dps to stop payload its fun as hell. just because youre losing and cant carry doesnt mean they need to implement role que, itll suffer just like ow did, ow2 was just the nail in the coffin.

Is this actually true? Love the game but without role queue its near unplayable comp wise... Every game is 3-4 dps, half of which have no idea whats going on.

I dont want role picks. Some maps and team comps support variances. As they add more characters, I think it will be even better than it is now.

But I have yet to see a game with 6 dps. I always fill, but even then, I have yet to see 5 people hard pick dps.

i agree with most of the people on this thread, we dont need role que. if people dont like it they can find a new game. Rivals thrives on players choice, it would be too constricting to add role que. it doesnt mean the games gonna die without it, it just means that people who actually understand the game are gonna be playing and not a bunch of whiny babies arguing over problems that only exist in quick play

What rank are you playing? At plat i am seeing 5 dps regularly. Yeah 1-2 will eventually swap off to something after we lose first round but by then its too late, its game over.

The game is a lot of fun and enjoyable, but it hits a wall once you become a decent player aiming to climb the solo queue ranks. I'm MVP/SVP nearly every other game in both ranked and quick matches, but I still only win about 50% of the time.

There are times when I lose three games in a row as an SVP, which often leads to pity matchups against bots (which is really demoralizing). Yes, bots are present in quick match, and there's evidence of this if you search for it. What's frustrating is that about 80% of the time, I'm MVP/SVP as the sole healer—something that isn't by choice.

When I was seriously trying to climb, I found myself stuck in the healer role most of the time because most players prefer to play DPS. Even when I, as SVP, out-heal both my co-healer and the enemy healers combined, it’s not enough to carry the team to victory. I've gone 40:0 in KOs as SVP, but it's not just about skill—it’s about teamwork. Unfortunately, 80% of the matches feel lopsided, with very few 2:1 or 1:2 victories.

On escort missions, I often spend most of the match bouncing in and out of spawn, trying to heal teammates who are getting spawn-camped for several minutes.

I still manage to enjoy the game occasionally, especially when I get a close, well-balanced match. The game feels great when things are working as they should, but it's underwhelming when they're not. The sense of accomplishment fades when the enemy team can’t even activate the escort vehicle.

I've mostly stopped playing because I've hit three separate loss streaks of three games each. It seems like if I lose three times in a row, I'm thrown into matches with bots as part of a pity system, which has become repetitive and tiresome.

Overall, I believe this game is an absolute gem if you have a decent group of friends or teammates willing to cooperate. It's still fun if you’re not playing competitively in solo queue. However, the biggest change that needs to happen is the removal of bots.

the difference in OW was all the tanks were literally unkillable monsters so just stacking 3 to 4 tanks was meta made all DPS a useless pick, this game is far different with balance the tanks are no where near the power level in QP it is very easy to still win without tanks

[Deadman'shand]

Why do people think a role queue will magically fix everything? if some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ insta-locks DPS every game and proceeds to be absolute ♥♥♥♥ with them, what do you think forcing them on Tank or Support will do? I will give you a hint - they will still be ♥♥♥♥ at the game, except now they will be ♥♥♥♥ on a tank or a support. Role queue will not magically fix bad players or teams.

I'm hoping people start using the search bar soon so that these dumb repetitive topics that have been asked and answered and beaten to death 3 dozen times stop popping up and people accept that they are never going to add it
