to all RoleQ whiners

[Lmao Kz Dun]

If RoleQ is so good, why didn't you stay in overwatch , and come here to whine about it?

[Roland's 2nd]

Boom
got em

[ExoPolitan]

? How is that a smart comment to make? Comparing two different games for the sake of unbalance? Huh? Genuinely makes no sense mate.

[pr1mus]

role queue made overwatch worse.

Id have to disagree with that Primus. Id say in ANY moba or team based hero shooter, having a competitive game mode with role queue brings balance and equal play. without it, you are just gonna have non stop un balanced matches.

dumb question, go back and look at both games then look at the gameplay and then the IP and realize what you are asking about one mechanic

[Pteraptoruz]

And how is the lack of role queue here gonna be a good solution at least in ranked? Every game that has roles by default ( and were we have tanks, dps and supports ) is screaming for Meta and balanced compositions.

[Mitrovarr]

Um, because I want to play this game and not Overwatch?

It's gonna happen, for the same reasons it happened in Overwatch. People are gonna get sick of having to sigh and switch over to tank or get rolled. It was better to sit in queue a bit longer and get a good team to DPS on, then play "tank chicken" with your team and either have a grumpy tank who didn't want to play tank or not have one at all.

It's also a much better experience for the supports, who will actually have tanks to heal.

All ill say is this. 100 games in and the teams with balanced comps, at least 1 of each role, Do FAR better on average than those without. With a few exceptions here and there.

[Phantom Limb]

It is always goes the same way. People complain about team composition, yet refuse to switch if necessary.
RoleQ will not bring more fun, but it will increase searching time for sure.

because instead of 5 bad DPS players on my team, i only have to deal with 2

the only reason role queue got introduced in OW was because Blizzard broke their game by introducing too many unbalanced heroes into the game that gave birth to certain meta compositions (GOATS being the most infamous) that you had to match or else you'd lose, people had years of people naturally picking 2/2/2 or 1/3/2 comps naturally before that, if you have a balanced game you'll have naturally incentive to play a team consisting of tanks, dps and healers.

the reason role queue was worse for the game because it resulted in two things: Blizzard wanted to curb meta and basically dictate what people played, and you can now no longer switch to what the team needed which for years was a cornerstone of OW's design, if you're in a position where you want to play a dive comp but one of your tanks only play Reinhardt; good job, you're now stuck playing around the limitations of the tank whereas this would not be an issue pre-role queue, someone underperforms as DPS and they want to switch roles? tough luck, no longer possible.

the above basically got so bad that they had to ditch OW and make a 5v5 game mode instead with OW2 because they still couldn't figure out how to balance having two tanks on the team anymore.

forced 2/2/2 is boring, i also don't enjoy queuing up for a specific role because i like to play a bit of everything and role queue just basically means you won't ever get to play DPS unless you like a 20 minute queue (like in the case of Overwatch), if you balance the game and make the heroes fun to play you'll arrive there naturally, of course Rivals is NOT balanced so i understand why people want role queue.

[Taki]

both games are ass. hwo cares

[Test]

AT LEAST ADD ROLE QUEUE TO COMP BC ITS UNPLAYABLE WITHOUT IT RN

[Twiggly Wiggly]

because it is kinda dumb for me to be forced to play a losing game with 5 damages.
