GazzaGarratt 11,049 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Pretty significant changes. You will now be asked to pick the role you want to play before heading into a quickplay or a competitive game. Tank, DPS or Support. Once you find your game, you will be only allowed to choose a Hero out of the role you've pre-selected. They want to push the 2-2-2 format as they want the change in the meta which is already being seen in playtests and the fact that some heroes will be getting some substantial changes. I need to rewatch this one as its 16 minutes long but they probably needed a shake up to the game to keep it fresh...i'm just not sure forcing every team to be 2-2-2 is the way to go. At least they'll be 3 rankings you'll have now so if you end up having an awful score on one, you have 2 more chances to get your rank higher on the other 2 😄 What do you guys reckon? Good change or will it not be worth the effort? Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/7182-role-queue-huge-overhaul-to-overwatch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 11,049 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Played a few games now with @LordBaguette and then @crispymorgan @tronic44 and @Misneach_. I have to say I really do like the new queue system. It does mean that you feel a little extra pressure on learning and ensuring you have at least 2 decent picks in a class (Damage, Tank, Support) but it means you're more likely to be paired with decent teams and people that actually want to play their Hero they're looking for. Unfortunately, I'm really not sure how the grouping up will go once we all have our scores. As you can now have 3 different comp scores, i believe you have to be closer to each other to play in a group. I'd be really disappointed if we can't get everyone together if we all give this another go again.

It's exactly like that @GazzaGarratt, so if you're relevant SRs dont line up then you cant play together. Hopefully it'll still be ok though given there are a the different roles. I've done my placements for tank (2750ish) and healer (3000ish). But given the queue times on dps I've not even done 1 game!!

Are you kidding me?! 2750/3000?! My main player is Tank and I'm at 2000! I didnt think I sucked that hard but clearly something is wrong as I was usually up at least 2500. Is it 250 the gap? I think I'm gonna start picking up DPS heroes in Quickplay to work at them.

It's when it ticks over to diamond and then it shortens to 500.

Stretch616 697 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Looks like there was a bug and placements will have to be done all over again. It seems that some pros were getting put into bronze and all sorts of weird shizzle. Watch this space..........

Nah, i'm pretty sure it said it was a small Comp beta for Role Queue as I seen it was ending about then. Here's hoping it won't affect my next score though. 5 hours ago, Lemmy said: Trouble is, if I load Overwatch up again that's me lost to the game again...I've got SP stuff to be clearing Hey, i'm all in for losing ourselves for a whole night.
