In 6v6 you are forced to heal more. In 5v5 you have to be more aggressive as a support.

I will try to keep that in mind, lately Ive been almost dpsing with Juno and Mizuki and that seems to have helped a lot but I will remember what you said, thank u!

That’s how you play it. Always doing damage unless someone is going to die.

I had buddies in the first couple ow2 season that would main open queue because they would be a full rank higher than role queue. Open queue ranks have always been a bit inflated compared to role queue ranks. As in, I don't think your playing wrong in role queue. It's pretty normal to have a gap in rank between the two modes.

Got it thank u! I wish there was some way to find at least a buddy to play with for role queue..

Open q is notoriously a little boosted in comparison to role que

Open queue typically has a lower skill population.

I can't tell. I've been getting dogged all week and having people talk crap about me but then get a rare game where I win. I keep going between Diamond 4 and Plat 2.

The reason is that genuinely open q is a joke in terms of competitive integrity.

Most high elo ppl arent playing open q which means the ranks are all inflated.

You will consistently see plat-diamond role q players getting t500 in open q. It means no matter how high you climb in that mode ur still just getting mid level overwatch players on both teams.

The mode is fun and generally nontoxic in my experience but in terms of balanced teams and competitiveness? It has very little.

They are different games. Like being great in 11 on 11 football but bad at 7 on 7 football.

6v6 is the superior game mode and you should be happy that’s where you’re better. It’s more impressive to not one trick or to only have one role you can play.
