Developer Update | Role Queue | Overwatch

Goodbye triple tank meta in comp

Thanks Jeff for role queue! Now I played so many good games and watched a lot of good movies, series and anime. Thanks for killing this game and my addiction!

so basically if you wanna play a damage hero you have to wait 10 minutes....it sucks

I think what they should have done is let the game choose your role yourself

I hated this update so much that I canceled my blizzard account.

Joining Match
1 second into the match as DPS
D E F E A T

this is stupid. why mei, sym, torb, belongs to DPS team?? are you stupid developer??

No one wants to wait 10mins
Sometimes the hero they trying to get is taken as well
Before it was OK since queue times were OK
But now you play at a certain time and all roles are 10mins

This whole update was a massive middle finger to DPS mains

So in all seriousness, I understand that the que times may be longer in certain regards but on the IP side, this may in turn give us better que partners. Me personally, I don't play OW much these days but the story events and seasonals do bring me back for a time and I do dedicate the purchase of loot boxes every time. Despite what is faulty and how toxic the community can be, I appreciate the work that Jeff and his team puts in. This game got me wanting to play PvP and this is a rare thing for me, granted its for the golden guns but sometimes, I do derive a Wii little fun from it. I sincerely thank you Jeff and your team and I am interested in checking out this role que.

Do people this RAGEQUIT?????

I hate this. Destroys creative composition shifting throughout the match. I just got back to the game and I'm on my way back out.

You can't be serios

i hate role queue

get rid of this. can't even play damage heroes anymore

Please remove this 222. It is not fun and wasting everyone’s time. If people need 222 , why not form their own team?
If 222 is so great, why do you need to FORCE people with this?
If 222 is so great, show the number of player increase or decrease. I bet it has been decreased. Then, is it great? Open the vote and stop your subjective.

its December 2019 and i used to play and when i came back role queue has made this game terrible in my opinion because unless you want to wait 20 minutes to get into a game you HAVE to play as a tank or healer

Wow Jeff.
Your talking about Shakespeare in a videogame.

Dat face though.....

Role queue sucks. 12 minutes to find a game and half the time it doesn’t even fill the lobby so then you have to sit there and queue again. Ruined the game

About the queue system ... I think it’s OKAY to choose your role at start for a game because of the 2-2-2 but... In game you should have an option to choose (unlock roles or not) because it sucks getting stuck with roles that ppl don’t rly know how to play with ...so you could at least make a swap and change the gameplay.

Community: WE NEED ROLE QUEUE PLZ ADD IT
Blizzard: Adds Role Queue
Community: GREAT NOW REMOVE IT

pls get rid of it

Dumbest thing you ever did. I tried but stopped playing overwatch after a week and haven't looked back since

dumbest change ever.

I used to love overwatch I’m a widow genji and hanzo main this stupid update I can’t play them
Pls fix

please remove this

It takes 30 minutes to find a game now

*greetings It's Jeff from the Overwatch team, this was just a video to let you know we don't care about your feelings, we just like your money*

well this sucks because i only play junkrat. nothing changed for me except now the que is longer

Jeff the tank😎😏

im the only one who hate Role Queue? what the point of you can change character during a game if it limit the role?

Everyone trying to play DPS.....toxic system for people trying to play DPS from time to time.....

this is like 2 years too late

After this update, I completely stopped playing
It just takes too long to que honestly -_-

Which day was going to Maura talking about hergood something's different about her like it's called like her f***** up an like what happened to it

uninstalled this game because of 5-6min q´s
1/10 for this change.

Little does he know when u choose damage you will wait 2 hours

Can you take it out quick play so i don't shoot myself

Competitive I get, but why quick play!?

Jeff: Hmmmm what is your mains role?
Me: DPS, why?
Jeff: F*** YOU

can I get priority in the dps queue after playing several games as other roles?

this change is so stupid. I regularly play all the roles. but now I can't play half the heroes I like because of obscene wait times. this game is suddenly a lot less interesting when I only bounce between 2-3 different heroes do to the new restrictions. I hate feeling like I'm being punished because I want to play pharah or ashe every now and then.
and no, quickplay in the arcade is not a solution. because it takes all the problems of the old system and amplify them. because it's full of all the dps mains who just want to play, quality of the match be damned.

All role queue times
Support : 😎
Tanks:😆
Damage:😭

not my problem, play only arcade mode

I just started playing and I love role queue

Can you update role que with 6 roles
1. Main tank
2. Off tank
3. Main heal
4. Off heal
5. Low damage
6. High damage
I still get matches with no main tank player in role que and no off healer for defensive ult, this would balance the game no more 2 main tank or 2 high damage.
I have some que times being 30 minutes for us to have no main tank and get role in a 5 minute match.
Maybe forced team chat they had It in call of duty on last gen

I think it should be only in competitive play not in quickplay

Thanks jeff just do your best

I am officially disowning overwatch

This game is now officially dead

stupidest developers

I dislike this greatly. Not to the point of quitting the game or anything, but it is a constant annoyance. It forces team comp in an unnatural way and takes away the ability to quickly swap into roles that arise situationally. There have been countless times when I or a friend realize a tank isn't needed, but an additional DPS or healer is. The ability to help compensate were your team is lacking is a natural part of any team base meta and this system ignores that altogether. Also, the queue times are extremely long and it's lubricous that I would need the whole party to back out of the queue just so I could switch to another role. I am all for better player interaction, but why do it like this? Why not incentives team builds by making exclusive skins that you can only get by playing certain roles. Or set a cap so that there can't be more than three of the same role on any team. That would help structure team builds but would limit adaptability in matches. This method just doesn't make sense to me.

Okay, so i played Role queue for a while... and IT IS A DISASTER!
let me explain... (Note; Please don't have negative comments. I just want everyone to know my experience in this...)
In role queue, you CANNOT switch off your role, meaning you cannot play DPS as Healer. Meaning it disables you from a variety of heroes and combos you could come up with with your team.
Second, TOO MANY DPSING!
I am a DPS main, and in the morning when I really want to play Reaper, I have to wait 10 minutes for a match to start. ITS INSANE! Healer and tank doesn't take as long...
Before this, you found a match, and boom! No need to wait 10 minutes. Sure, you can avoid this by grouping in a 6 stack and pray you don't wait more than 6 minutes for a match.
Anyways, it also deprives you of hero selection as said earlier. If there's a throwing healer on the team, you can't do ANYTHING about it! You just have to struggle through the match with a DPS Moria on your team.
Plus, I haven't even gotten to mention that people just leave the match.
One time, I played a Overwatch match, I waited 10 minutes, and guess what? Someone leaves because of the hero selection...
Then I had to wait ANOTHER 10 minutes.
The role queue also doesn't let you play with anyone from previous matches, so if someone leaves, too bad. Your waiting again.
Jeff, please take this as a sign that something needs to change.
Even in quick play, I can't even barely find matches.
Sure, u can play QP classic, but... Noone really plays that on my servers, and yes, more match waiting...
Honestly, I'd rather have Goats back than to bear with the leavers, throwers, and just feeling powerless over my hero selection... Both QP AND comp mode!

This role queue sucks

i feel the pain in his eyes when he was talking about picking hanzo 😂😂😂😂😂

U wait to long for comp now. It sucks
