Overwatch Patch 1.39 - Role Queue
Hello guys!
this is a different post from the other ones, isn't it? well, I love Overwatch, I play it for more than 2 years now.
since the start of the game (after the beta) I always wish to get a system that will fix the game compositions,
I mean that I don't want to get 5/6 damage heroes at one game, it's just boring and unless there are 2 smurfs on your team, it's a guarantee to lose.
a month ago an overwatch league player that left his team has arrived a message, he said "2-2-2 role lock is coming"
a lot of speculations arrived at youtube for 2 weeks and then, 2 weeks ago, on July 18 we've got the patch that introduces 2-2-2 Role Queue.
my dream came? absolutely!
the thing I waited 2 years for, has become to the game!
if you want to see a full detailed video, "Your Overwatch" a big yt channel made a video called "will role queue save overwatch", he explained a lot of things and some thoughts and I agree with him,

Information
so as the name of the patch says, this is a role queue, what does it mean?
you have 3 different roles to choose from, Tank, Damage, Support, as before it was "choose whatever you want to"
most of the time in matchmaking ranked you'll get a "good comp" which is Goats, 2-2-2, etc.
but in Diamond rank and below you most os the time will get people to switch from heal or tank just because they think they're better than the other DPS, which means, now we don't have a tank or heal and we need that extra health to protect the damage heroes.
it's funny because everyone complaining about that, but they continue to do that.
so I think role queue will save our life, at least mine ;)
With this patch you already got an MMR reset, MMR is the "hidden" rank which defines what's your rank and how much SR you will get/lose.
with the 3 role queue roles you now have 3 different SRs (3 different ranks), you have 5 placements for each to determine your role and then around 5-10 games that will give you/lose you 100-50 SR each game and then it will be fixed to around 20-30 each game like normal, the 50-100 per game is due to the fact that we got MMR to reset.
Brilliant
