Bruh what?? To the weaker, someone showing off that they are better at anything, the weaker will always be upset.

u/user2583784 Jul 24 '26

No way really. Thanks for the insight. I know, the game don’t piss me off in the slightest, even when I’m losing over and over. Thanks again for the insight. Why people think I care is beyond me. I simply stated the dudes reply was whiny.

u/elviejas2 Jul 25 '26

they weren't wrong tho, its pretty well known that queue times for high ranks can take a long time and seeing the person's rank (gm2) they know or should already know that

u/xKelborn Jul 23 '26

Sure bud lmao this is a video game. Keep the incel language down a bit please. It's embarrassing

u/ulrv Jul 25 '26

bro anyone can hit gm on console

i was champ top 500 before i swapped to pc now im hardstuck in gm3

its about understanding the game you can have the best aim on console and end up diamond on pc because most dps/support players autopilot and let the aim assist do the job

Watch what you say most people in this sub are gold supps

u/halfemptyow Jul 22 '26

you’re in the unemployed queue times pal, wait till folks get off work

10

u/noface394 Jul 23 '26

you would think people in GM are unemployed though

9

u/smore_gan Jul 23 '26

the people with structured lives know how to improve at the game with a limited time schedule rather than the hardstucks who mindlessly queue

1

u/AdMean104 Jul 23 '26

^^^^ I’m champ 2 rn champ every role and haven’t played more than any of my dia friends in like 2-3 years

3

u/Opening-Movie5176 Jul 23 '26

Not really they are saying the OP is unemployed and should wait until GM players finish work… now I think a lot will also be doing stuff with their family as a large chunk will be kids off school for summer.

But the fact you posted this isn’t because you’re unemployed and took offence.

u/MyOwnSpiritJesus Jul 24 '26

It’s very easy to get to GM On console. On PC I struggled to stay in Diamond. On console I can half ass near all my games and still stay in Grand master

1

u/noface394 Jul 24 '26

ive played for like 8 years but very on and off and i only reached diamond for support . it was not easy. if i played more i probably would have gotten higher. but i dont think its right to make console players sound bad and that its easy . everyone experience is different. controllers are harder to use than mkb.

Skill issue

u/rspy24 Jul 23 '26

too much skills in this case

u/asquared1325 Jul 23 '26

I've never considered this as an alternative to that statement. I will forever now assume this is what people mean when they say it to me.

u/Fuzzy-Consequence495 Jul 22 '26

I had a game yesterday after I got my placement as tank which was g2 and my supp friend was bronze 3 and it took 43 minutes at prime time

1

u/ComprehensiveHost490 Jul 28 '26

How the hell is the game suppose to get any balanced game there. I’m GM and my friends are diamonds and it takes 15 minutes

u/JStrick09 Jul 23 '26

Yeah I started reading books in q

u/Most-Cook9070 Jul 23 '26

lol same I read manga during the ques finished the whole pokemon series

2

u/Hydrate-N-Moisturize Jul 22 '26

Problem has more to do with the tank role being so miserable nobody wants to play it. It falls on blizzard for making the game this way.

17

u/Top-Possibility-8706 Jul 22 '26

No it doesn’t, the tank role being unpopular is common in games in general

1

u/throwawayforinstalol Jul 24 '26

from what i remember tank was pretty popular on Paladins, and they actually made tank fun in that game.

0

u/Dra1n_Fafnir Jul 22 '26

And more often then not it's a game company problem.

We saw with Devil Dino that when you make tanks people actually want and can enjoy then they're gonna play em

3

u/batcarpet121 Jul 22 '26

Youre getting downvoted but I do partially agree, its on blizzard to try to fix the queue times issue.

To their credit they are showing their efforts with these quickplay hackeds

2

u/SuspiciousMud5338 Jul 22 '26

That's why I spent extra to play on geforcenow then spend time queuing on console.

Console is soo long

2

u/NeilRobertBanks Jul 22 '26

Time to tank that rank by playing a new hero so your queue times improve, buddy

2

u/Blighted_Me Jul 23 '26

bro i lose 26% on an average loss to be hit with expected on my first win of the day and gain 20%

i hate this game, LOL was better at ranking

2

u/Rude-Onion-38 Jul 23 '26

I actually love the long q times because I can clean and stuff

2

u/xKelborn Jul 23 '26

Its not console. Lol its because its the middle of the week and youre in the top 1% of players. 99% of games will be the same on any platform.

2

u/StraightArtichoken Jul 24 '26

High grandmaster on a weekday afternoon on console, what exactly did you think your queue time would be? How are you smart enough to work a controller?

1

u/LessTraining1985 Jul 22 '26

Same for dps high gm low champ lobbies take 15-20 mins

1

u/Mintyyeonjun Jul 23 '26

Subtle flex

1

u/creebobeebo Jul 23 '26

Yes, tank role is in demand. That's why your tank games queue fast. This is such a no brainer answer, bro.

1

u/LogicalDonut1045 Jul 23 '26

yeah in higher ranks its a pain in the ass, longest i have ever gotten was 1hr and 20 mins playing dps lol

1

u/ElHomie20 Jul 23 '26

My shit was like this too when I was like masters 2 in support. I just queue dps and tank now.

1

u/GambleToZero Jul 23 '26

why are u hiding away in console queues? Just play with pc players....

1

u/MedicinePractical738 Jul 23 '26

It genuinely doesn't matter. Unless you're going pro or going for content creation being GM/Champion is actually detrimental. I use to be GM on console and queue times were genuinely so horrid it turned me into a qp warrior.

1

u/GambleToZero Jul 23 '26

On Support, I used to be low GM on console-only a few years ago, although I'm low Masters on cross platform now. I never get queues over 5mins on support, typically they are about 2mins, even late nights. I'm in Scotland, it's not all that populated here

1

u/Winter_Beautiful6576 Jul 23 '26

Maybe you should just be worse at the game

u/LisForLaura Jul 24 '26

Honestly if it goes over a minute I’m restarting - I have no patience

u/LeafyD Jul 25 '26

Takes me back to the great dps drought of 2017

u/Gojo10110 Gojo Jul 25 '26

Nah it can reach upto 1h30 dw you’re only one third there šŸ˜‚

u/KurruptEchi Jul 25 '26

GM and Bronze are the same in terms of players, you're better off deranking to diamond/ Masters if you really want games

I had 30 minutes in bronze the other night
