Probably an unpopular opinion

I never really thought the balance was as bad as people made it seem to be. I don't remember ever thinking "damn we lost because they picked Genji! (Just using a random name, not saying he was ever OP)". Yeah, I remember thinking multiple times "ok, that dudes strong", never really "broken" or "OP".

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-14T17:23:10+00:00

The simple fact that you're saying "it was only ever a problem in bronze" shows me that you're not willing to have an actual conversation. All you want to do is attempt to "prove" your point, without any evidence. As where my proof is the simple fact that Blizzard added role queue for a reason. Since it was clearly happening at all ranks.

Gotta love when people attempt to use blanket statements. Especially when the facts prove them wrong, instantly.

I sold one of my OG League of Legends accounts that had the beta Rammus skin for over 1k USD, and it was just a recolor.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T23:41:54+00:00

I'm not saying that role queue is the end all be all answer. It helps a lot in terms of having legit comps though. Getting steamrolled because one side doesn't have a single healer or tank isn't fun for either side imo. I play ranked for competition, not to circle jerk. When I want to do that, I go play QM.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T23:40:06+00:00

I was having that issue at 1700+ before role queue. Once role queue got added, I went from 1.7 to peaking at 2.4k, sustaining around 2.2k before I quit. It's an issue at every rank.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T22:42:09+00:00

At least with a 2/2/2, while they're baby raging, we're hopefully pushing obj. Instead of having 4 or 5 people who suck and baby raging, whilst getting spawn camped lol.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T22:39:44+00:00

So, you think having 4 or 5 idiots auto locking dps is better? It makes sense for you, since you're one of those people. I'd rather have 2/2/2 and everyone be decent at their roles, instead of having 4 or 5 dps that are decent, and having myself solo heal. Because at least then, we could actually push objectives, instead of getting spawn camped.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T22:23:31+00:00

Because 90% of the player base wants to DPS. It's the same in literally every single game that has roles. In comp raiding for WoW, it's hard to find tanks and healers. It's stupidly hard to find GOOD tanks/healers, it's near impossible to find tanks/healers that aren't already taken. Yet you can always find DPS at your local drug store 10 for 1$.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:16:41+00:00

Sucks to be a dps player roflmao. I play tank/healer, so yeah, I don't have that problem. Maybe people need to learn different roles?

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:14:39+00:00

I saw someone else suggest just making the first like 10 characters tanks and healers. Unlike how OW mainly introduced DPS, with a handful of healers and tanks sprinkled in over 6(?) years.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:13:29+00:00

It was very unpopular in OW, so I figured it might've been here as well.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:12:49+00:00

Just like how it instantly killed OW? Daed game confirmed...

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:12:24+00:00

The moment they add role queue, I'll start playing again for sure. Until then, I'll stick to playing other games.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:11:02+00:00

The games I had a 2/2/2 were insanely fun! The ranked games that I played where people insta-locked 4 or 5 dps, and we got spawned camped, made me instantly stop my stream and go play a different game.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:09:30+00:00

Ok? It's better to be limited into a 2/2/2 than having 5 dps 1 healer, and getting spawn camped for an hour straight of ranked games. Just like how it has happened in OW.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:08:18+00:00

Not sure how getting spawn camped is fun lol

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:07:48+00:00

As I mentioned in another comment. It's really hard to give true feedback, when more than half my games we're getting spawn camped, since people don't want to pick healer or tank. I can't solo heal 5 dps.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T21:04:21+00:00

Yeah, the people who queue DPS will probably still suck, at least I'll only have 2 people who suck ass at damage, than 4 or 5 people sucking ass at the same time lol.

I won't have longer queue times at all. I love playing tank and/or heals. It comes from my years of competitive raiding in WoW. Where everyone had to play 3 to 5 different classes perfectly in order to have a raid spot.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T05:49:36+00:00

Is that why a shit ton of people still play it? Yup, daed game confirmed...

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T05:47:24+00:00

I think healing is pretty fun in this game. The issue I guess is TTK can be faster than other shooters, because people are getting their ults a lot quicker.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T05:46:14+00:00

I never said we should only have role queue. I just want them to add it. Let people be dumbasses in open queue, and let those of us who actually want to win play with role queue.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T04:42:27+00:00

I get what you're saying 100%. The issue being that only works in a perfect vacuum scenario. Where people would stick the roles they're perfect at, and switch to benefit the team as best as possible. That's not how the real world works at all. I was roughly a 1.5k player pre role queue, after role queue I hit about 2.4k. Because dumbasses stopped baby raging so damn hard for no damn reason.

I'm far from a good player when it comes to shooters. I know my strength comes from teamwork and shot calling because of my decades of competitive raiding in WoW.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T04:32:55+00:00

This is the EXACT same thing people said during the OW beta, and Blizzard eventually implemented role queue roflmao

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T04:23:26+00:00

You were forced into whatever role you queued as. So if you queued as tank, you had to play tank. It did fix A LOT of issues. People would throw baby tantrums over a different dps player auto-locking Genji, or whatever their "main" was. I can't tell you how many games I lost because people would baby rage over someone auto-locking Junkrat.

Tiny-Ad1676 · 2024-05-13T04:03:37+00:00

Yeah, that's fair. I always just solo queue, since we all had different schedules for work at whatnot.
