Why wouldn’t role queue work?

Anonymous #2 16w

it would “work” in the sense that we would have a “perfect comp” on paper but if you think about the ratio of dps players to tank and supp the queues for shit would grow insane, plus it no longer allows for fun comps like all supp or all tank one supp that are just fun silly things.

I didn’t say it wouldn’t work, I said it’s not good for these games, and well it isn’t, because while it succeeds at what it’s meant to do, you’re punishing the higher ranks because low ranks suck at the games

I think it wouldn’t work because of rivals team up gimmick there’s so many comps that work really well that are outside of the traditional team format because of the team ups that forcing that structure would completely kill how creatively team structure can be used in this game because it will make embracing some team ups so much more difficult

They could change how that works, though they shouldn’t

It happened in Overwatch. There were so many dps players and not enough tank/support. Tank/support queues were instant, while some dps games could take 10+ minutes to load in

There are clips of streamers waiting ridiculously long to queue dps in comp

What I say to that as a support player - learn how to play other roles then lol. I’m part of the minority that does appreciate role queue, because as a support player I am tired of queuing into ranked games with no tanks, 5 dps, and me as the only support. Then when our Spider-Man is 0/10 in the enemy back line I get blamed cause I can’t teleport or whatever. Either role queue or a stronger push from the game to get people to play other roles is needed IMO

Saying this also as someone who was playing at a relatively high level. I was diamond 3 and a lot of the guys I played with were grandmaster. Playing after the rank reset killed my enjoyment of the game because of how troll low-elo DPS players are. The example I was talking about was an actual game that I played. I know it’s not popular but it works

If you feel that way then how about you fill other roles? You’re literally asking people to do something you yourself aren’t doing….soooo. Nothing irks me more than when you queue up for a match and you have that one person playing a role asking for ppl to play another role when they themselves could fill that role. I end up having to fill between tank, dps, AND support, because people like yall always wanna ask others to fill a role but won’t do it yourself. When I just want to play my mains

Imagine talking about other ppl when you yourself won’t fill.

Bro what are you taking about. They are saying they are a healer and no one else will play healer lmao. It makes no sense for them to “fill another role” when they are already filling a needed role.

They also said they are support player and that they want role queue cuz they’ve played comps with other roles being imbalanced?? So yeah anyone who complains they want role queue is someone who clearly isn’t willing to fill cuz they’ve played comps want the game to force ppl to do things they want.

I’ve had plenty of games where I had to fill as support but you won’t see me here screaming please give role queue. Fill the roles you want or stfu asking ppl to do what you won’t🤷🏾‍♂️

No one is forcing them to be a healer. I’ve also had games where I said fuck it and didn’t go healer then when we start losing eventually they decide we need a healer and stop crying. So they can just as easily through if they hate healer so much by themselves. I’m not bout to sit here and be like you know what you’re right we should get role queue just cuz they’re the only healer

Sorry, I play tank too, support was just mentioned so I used that as an example. It’s frustrating either way :(

I by definition a “fill” player. In most games I play support and tank, depending on what’s needed. I play fill in OW. What I’m frustrated by is it seems that almost no one in rivals wants to swap off their insta lock dps picks to give the team an actual solid comp. I don’t care about 2-2-2, I just want at least a tank or something for me to play behind

Ahh okay, in that case yeah trust me I understand I hate the games where I gotta do another role particularly in ranked but honestly in those times I just say fuck it I guess we’re all losing then. Cuz I really do enjoy the freedom of playing whatever, it is frustrating. But honestly I don’t think the answer is role queue. Cuz as was previously stated all that happens is people will sit there and wait to play the role they want and it’s not fun for the people who love playing any role whenever.

Also the flexibility of being able to switch roles mid match is a gift. Because we don’t always need 222, as long as there’s one or two healers it’s fine. What I do if I’m the only healer I just step up and play a healer who can handle tryna manage everyone OR I just say fuck it well all die I guess lmao no in between

Also I apologize for coming off strong it just really irks me to see people who don’t fill wanting others to fill and asking for role queue cuz I really don’t want the game to get ruined for me in that way 😓

Trust me I get it lol crazy enough tho it’s not just dps. I recently had a game where literally everyone wanted to tank in ranked and I was like are yall serious right now???? I went support and of course we ended up losing lmao

But those days I just either log off or go fuck off in quick play cuz I still want to relax and game and as much as I love winning, I can’t let something I’m supposed to enjoy raise my stress cuz ppl wanna be selfish dumbass when I can just log off. Control what you can control and ignore what you can’t that’s how I live

My main game is LOL so I guess I just also don’t see why people dislike role queue so much. League has ONLY role queue, and it’s one of the biggest games of all time.

the issue isn’t the concept of role queue. some games it can work well for within the functions of the game. but rivals has solid diversity in character function so many comps outside of 2/2/2 work well. 3/0/3 is a fun one i’ve seen a lot, 2/1/3 1/2/3, etc etc. yeah some matches suck bc ur running 1/4/1 or 1/3/2 and no dps wants to switch, but they still have the ability to win

Anonymous #3 16w

it also allows ppl to fill need mid match. say 2/2/2 isn’t working and the team needs a 3rd healer, dps can swap for more heals. or say it was a 1/2/3 but we need to make more space, swap heals for tank. it encourages learning a diversity of roles and filling to meet needs, and swapping for counters.

There’s a difference between a game that comes out with it and a game that comes out without it and as it later. What would they have to complain about if that’s all they know? “ nobody complains” here is not a flex because they don’t know what that game is like without it so duh. Nice try tho.

Anonymous OP 16w

i’m sure if the game came out with it, nobody would complain that it had it. it’s just a shame they decided to release it without and i know change is hard for gamers so we’ll never get it

I agree there’d be nothing to say if the game came out with it, but I’m glad they decided to release the game without it. Tho it’ll probably come eventually cuz ppl won’t stop complaining about it and it’s a fact that over time the resistance walls break down for these companies smh.
