No match is safe if you Solo Que

[XalonMG]

We need a role que. Too many matches start with 5 Duelists. And even with 4, about 9 out of 10 times no one will swap to the 2nd Strategist. It's getting out of hand.

You think you have two Strategists on your team and then during the match you realize one is barely healing and the other hasn't healed anyone at all. You might get a Vanguard that just runs through enemies and disappears, or worse, they are afraid to be aggressive and hide in the back. It happens.

You either get at least one teammate who is actively trying to ruin the match on purpose. Or you get a win or loss, but have to deal with someone complaining or crying about something that did not happen. if a Vanguard dies a lot, but hasn't been healed once in a match, those deaths are not his fault. Especially if that Vanguard averages less than 1 death per match. Something is off there. But they blame the Vanguard anyways. Meanwhile, the person blaming is a ranged character player and hides half the match. Or is a Strategist that didn't heal anyone.

Theres a lot of ways they can ruin the match on purpose, and it all comes from being selfish.
Sometimes we get lucky and have a few good matches, but then they come back.

We need to have real consequences for this. Our level, rank and stats are meaningless because all of us have had probably dozens of these players in our matches. Bad behavior unchecked will only get worse. We need a role que where there has to be a strat and healer always. And penalties for players that don't do what their role is supposed to do, refuse to swap and help their team, as well as those that harass others during matches and afterwards.

Once that is in place, we reset all stats and ranks. Then we can move forward with those systems in place. I think everyone would agree to this because it is only getting worse.

This is for solo or any que where you don't have a premade of 6 players. We suffer the most lol.

I'll laugh when if they ever force role queue and then people find out it solves nothing and they're still going to have a miserable time. Then just start whining about something else being the new problem that the Dev's are going to have to fix.

My guess is just going to be getting bad teammates.

You people will never be satisfied...

Take it up with Netease. After the recent patch, dive comp is going f***ing crazy. It's literally every game now. I'm a support main and I'm done playing that role because it's pure misery now. You want an ulcer? Trying playing healer when LITERALLY EVERY GAME is Spiderman, BP, Magik, Cap, and Emma with maybe a DPS Jeff thrown in for good measure. If you're still willing to play healer, you're a saint. But it ain't me and it's going to get harder to find support players as this goes on.

quickmatch makes grandmaster players play like monkey yes but there are games i am 1 healer playing as loki or rocket and when my team is spread out playing like monkey i tell them in chat APE STRONK TOGEDA then we stick close near me whole team we win sometimes communication works and not mentally gapping works, i couldve inted and played ironfist so become 6 dps and lose game but yes

Actually forget it, EOMM is what's causing solo play to be trash its not because of needing to be able to work with your team that consists of random using game sense and pings to alert enemy location or to ask for healing, its EOMM matching you with random that can't work as a team to make you feel things to increase engagement. You said there are plenty of people that can solo q and play well with randoms? Lies EOMM is real

I played Overwatch at the time they put Role Queue in and it solved a ton of stuff. Goats? Dead. Instalocking DPS throwing on a 3/4/5 dps team? Gone. Being stuck in one role because you have too high of a matchmaking rank to play your weaker roles? Not anymore! Having to fill roles you don't enjoy just to avoid getting wrecked? Never again.

I had tanks and DPS I played in OW and I can't do that here because my MMR is too high and I get annihilated on DPS especially.

I don't get why we couldn't have a soft role Q

Choose the role you would like to play but nothing is lock

[Ronin Gamer]

The overwhelming majority of matches I get typically have at least one tank sometimes two, almost always two support, and an acceptable amount of dps.
Only rarely do I get an odd group, but that usually evens out by others changing their role at some point. Not sure what matches you're doing.

[JG2thend]

Devs can't code you better people to play with unfortunately, You choose to solo queue no amount of coding will get you better humans to play with who are happy to flex and can play every role competently.

But you can try and meet some people on the discord and make a team and you'll find the problem you had is solved.

[Phantom Limb]

Solo queue has always been like that. Nothing really new.

[Retro Rat]

You know what will happen? 2-2-2 will look like:
DPS Hulk
DPS Venom
2x DPS
DPS Jeff
DPS Rocket

[XerXarii]

i mostly main support characters. can run vanguard ok if needed, can be flexible

however I have no choice but to solo queue. I cant go anywhere in competitive? I just keep getting one with and then absolutely stomped for the rest of the night. I've been stuck going from bronze 3 to 2 back and forth all week

I really don't understand at this point what is going on or what I'm supposed to do. I find this game so fun, at this point though I'm about to uninstall!

I am too invested/'skilled' (like, I want competitive games and that really isn't what QP is for) to play QP most of the time but when I play Ranked it is like this.

Is this some sort of troll punishment, April fools joke, error with my game or something???? I'm not bad, I majority of the time earn SVP in those losses. I do know that there is more to the game than a starboard/tab screen.

I mostly play Invisible Woman. That's the thing tho, I'm flexible. If we need a rocket for example, I can work it. I'm decent with Luna too, don't care about the recent nerf complaints or whatever I may hear? I have Cloak and Dagger lord.

I try to sustain our tanks, especially say Emma - she needs that ♥♥♥♥. I always keep an eye out for when our diver is sprinting back and desperate for heals. I keep my fellow healer mutually topped up .

I shoot through my enemies as invisible girl, cause.. that's usually the smart choice. I try to stay in the pocket if I can.

I honestly just find it most difficult to deal with SpiderMan. I am well aware of saving your jail-free-card, but I simply RARELY get peels in Bronze. Jail free card such as invisibles invisibility, Luna's ice freeze, etc

My goal is always to just die as least as possible, period, over anything else. And I try to watch the line, the space tanks make - when it buckles, I fall back.

I wear headphones, I'm almost always ahead of the curve and aware when Spidey is swinging in or say another dive is inbound.

Sooooo... What am I doing wrong here?? I was platinum last season.

It's kinda ridiculous though that this gameplay isn't enough to get out of *Bronze* though, and that's my point. That's what's so bizarre to me. I understand more than the basics (duh) certainly, and I do - yet I'm stuck here, at the very very very bottom of the totem pole. A consistent SVP, at that, is trapped.

I have been trying to grind this for a week. I honestly genuinely feel trolled. Like, what the hell. And I am not upset at you, don't get me wrong.. I just feel **insane**.

There has to be something seriously wrong. My gameplay has only improved, I am better than what I was at Platinum

[Ravnin]

I call those games where no one groups up, avoid each other like the plague and doesn't keep support LOS or positioning in mind free for alls... pretty awful experience if you're the support, basically stuck to pocketing someone who isn't overextending at best.

Usually losing/lose until later stages where they are forced to stay together due to being outside of final objective spawn point.

What a weird way to make your point,

let's not fix anything because something else will need to be fixed later on

oh man as a main cloak, with spider man, venom and starlord zooming around the map flanking 24/7 it's miserable as a healer
