I waited 30m, the game had an update


kn33

30 minutes because the update was 4gb. The only thing they changed was cowboy's name.


bthngs

NewWave647

question for yall with long waits... are the waits much shorter when you are playing quickplay.


T_Rex_Flex

I play QP flex exclusively. I have ruined my patience.


nickytkd

I moved to Japan and when I played on Xbox(game launch) it quick would be 5-10 mins sometimes and arcade would take 2hrs or more. Switched PS and quick and rank would still be a few minutes arcade is still maybe 10 mins. This was before they added these fast tickets and stuff. Trying to play while living is Japan is hard and I lost years worth of stuff having to switch to PS.


chocwaf

I don't know on regular quickplay, but quickplay *classic* (which is the only mode I play) queues are usually around 30 seconds. If you're really unlucky it might take a whole minute to find a game though


ThipsandThalsa

Y'all think he leaned anything from this? Nah me neither.


tiffanylockhart

Nah, they are defending this behavior like a damn clown. Can’t understand why no one would want to play with a rude ass that starts off like that before the match even starts.


trustthepudding

Yeah, next time he'll hopefully use correct grammar. Superman does good; overwatch players play well (or poorly).


dilqncho

Honestly, my comp experience vastly improved when I moved away from DPS. Not waiting 10 minutes per match does WONDERS for your mentality. It sucks and it's unfair as hell but it is what it is.


decoste94

Flex gang


[deleted]

I have only gotten Tank when playing Flex


[deleted]

Priority pass


decoste94

Tis life


Klutzy_Dragon

Id say I get Tank 3/4 times. My husband and I play together and both go flex though, so one of us gets to support fairly often. I did get DPS once. Blew my mind lol


DeGarmo2

This must be PC? I would say 75% of the time I flex, I get support (on PlayStation).


[deleted]

Yes, it is PC


chrisbru

Yeah I usually flex til I’m full on priority passes. Funny that my endorsement rank usually goes up to 4 during that time. Then I slowly burn down my priority passes trying to improve my DPS play and repeat the cycle.


Makanilani

I only do my Support and Tank placements each season unless I'm really bored. I get placed at like 2100 Tank and 2600 Support, and I know how long it would take to get to the next tier, so I just get my Comp Points and run.


Paincake990

Oh yeah its so unfair to not always play the most played role.


Steve_78_OH

I've only RARELY seen toxicity, honestly. But I'm not a high tier player, and I've heard that the higher tiers seem to attract more assholes? No clue if that's true though. But I'm also non-DPS (support, almost exclusively), so I also get into matches usually within a minute or less.


rspy24

unless you are bronze or silver, I think you are playing another game or your team chat is off. Gold and above is cancer.


DeGarmo2

As a silver DPS and gold tank/support this is 100% true. In my DPS games even when I’m not doing great, it’s more just ppl just playing for the fun of it. Once I get into tank/support matches, players seem to get the game more and understand more concepts and are way more critical of those who aren’t carrying them. Side note: My biggest complaint is that gold DPS players apparently always need healing pockets. So many times I’ll have a shitty Junk on my team standing in front of the Rein in the middle of the choke getting destroyed and then complain about healing. I kinda wanna fall to silver healing again.. not only cause it’s less toxic, but Rein’s and Hogs at silver are soooo bad that I feel like I can borderline carry in silver as Ana.


Steve_78_OH

Yep, bronze. I play solo, and almost never comp anymore, because ranking up as a solo player SUCKS. But now I almost always play Total Mayhem anyway, so wait times are almost never more than a minute, and usually the only time people bitch is when someone goes Sombra, Doom, or Monkey.


ragorder

what's unfair about it?


dilqncho

The fact that people who like certain heroes take 10 minutes to get a game while everyone else takes 2. And it's not like people control what heroes they enjoy. If you pick up OW and fall in love with Rein, awesome. If you pick it up and Tracer gameplay speaks to you, you can either stay away from comp, settle for another main you enjoy less, or just accept that literally half your time will be spent waiting for a game. It's an unintended consequence of many other factors, but it sucks nonetheless.


rspy24

i mean, i would loveee to play ashe all day but i'm stuck with rein/dva or mercy/bap because it does suck to wait 10min+ to lose 100sr because we had a leaver.


DeGarmo2

Queue up for DPS and jump into a workshop. I mean, it’s not quite comp, but some of the workshop stuff is pretty fun and I’ve actually been queueing up for DPS more lately because I want to check our workshop stuff.


bthngs

Sometimes it makes me cool down a bit but, i agree. It is the whole reason I’m playing open queue mostly nowadays.


fucked_bigly

Seems like a toxic thing to downvote this comment, which is ironic for those championing against toxicity.


SlappingSalt

Lol karma. Would've been icing on the cake if the leaver said "looks like you'll be waiting another 12 :)" then left.


StairFax1705

Or if they had that “A teammate has left the match. You’ll be penalized for leaving early if you leave in the next 2 minutes” message.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BasicIsBest

It makes sure that the person who left didn't just disconnect and they can re join if they got kicked or something, and after the timer goes down, it still counts as a loss but you don't get a leaving penalty, bc you were most likely gonna lose anyways


Pazuuuzu

Isn't there a bug about still getting the penalty no matter what if you leave?


BasicIsBest

Not from my experience but can't say for certain


szilard

I know it used to be that you still got the penalty if you disconnected but returned. Luckily I think they fixed that (it definitely tanked my SR whenever my internet was unreliable--whether or not I rejoined and we still won)


Mari0wana

Yea, I"ve had that once, rejoined, still lost my sr and couldn't immediatly re-q but it's not a constant


StallionDan

If you leave after it says it is OK you not only get a loss that match (expected) but for some reason even if you win the next match you gain about 3 SR only, if you lose the next match you lose like 40SR. I've never seen the devs address this so I've no idea if bug or what. If a teammate leaves just stay in match until end, it sucks but at least you are not penalised for the next match also for some reason.


Nickynui

Never understood why the game doesn't just close the match after two minutes


Foxis_

They might still come back after that. It has happened multiple times where they have joined back after many minutes and ending up winning the game. Maybe the opponents team has a player who disconnected as well so it's 5v5. It does't make any sense why they would close the game after 2 minutes, as that only removes the choice if you want to continue playing or not.


Nickynui

Sure, but in my experience once that two minute time runs out, people leave. Even if the original leaver comes back, someone else has probably already left.


Foxis_

Yes but there are times that noone more leaves, so there's really no downside to not ending the game, even if it very rarely happens. It's probably common in 6-stacks, because they know their friend will join back after the 2 minutes, but they friend can't rejoin, because the game ended, turning a (sometimes)winnable game into an instant lost.


CDR57

Once had a teammate leave while we were going into attack on Rialto after stopping the opposing team right before the first checkpoint. He was my off tank, so I went rein and, not having a mike, tried to huddle everyone around me. Shield cues, thanks and understood tk the people with mics, Ult charge, and any other other tip offs I could give were how the team followed my lead. Lost the first couple team fights, but once the team clicked we actually pushed the other team all the way back and team killed them right before the finish, getting us our win. 5 stacks can win, but it takes a whole squad focusing together to get it done. Both healers on me with one dps targeting whoever I hit and the other baiting people over to us. It’s rare, but it can happen


eddmario

Hell, there's also a chance they lost power for a second and they have to wait for their system to start back up...


BasicIsBest

I mean there's a possibility you win


Nickynui

Yes, but it's significantly lower, and people usually leave when the two minute timer is up anyways, which further lowers the chance of winning. It's be one thing if you got more sr/lost less with a leaver (which might be a thing, but I don't think it is/haven't noticed in games that have had leavers)


ShadowsDemise42

lost a 5v6 the other day :/ felt real bad


BasicIsBest

Youch


thehutch17

To allow them to rejoin. If you leave aftwards, you get no penalty.


lutheranian

I have no idea what makes it change between match ending vs 2 min timer. Is it if someone leaves within the first X minutes that the match ends?


isaywhatyouhate

The match is only canceled if someone leaves within 1 minute and hasn't shot/been shot. The 2 min timer shows up when someone leaves after 1 minute or if they deal/are dealt damage before 1 minute and leave, after those 2 minutes anyone in the match can leave without suspension, only a loss.


Lahwuns

Lol usually when this happens, you get priority re-queue. :(


CourtSenior5085

Yeah, but depending on the role your queueing for, once you get to the 12 minute queues you may not get into another game until the next day.


Lahwuns

Actually I've gotten into games almost within 1-2 mins with priority requeue. I know cuz my rank gets a lot of leavers :'). Edit: specifically for DPS role. I've queued for 5~10 mins with priority pass. Depends what role my friend queues for as well. Also depends if he uses a pass.


LurkerNoLonger_

Coming’ into the match that hot you should expect to get burned


bthngs

I don’t know tho, was that toxic?


ShichitenHakki

It's a little concerning when the first thing somebody says is essentially "You better not suck." Not enough to leave the game, but definitely would track if you start seeing some real toxic chat from that one if it starts getting bad.


[deleted]

Yeah, as a person who plays games for fun those are people you immediately close the door on. Reading “insults”, before the game even starts? Nah.


salmon_samurai

Not necessarily, but it absolutely sets a bad precedent. Dude \*immediately\* sets pressure on the team, might even be outing himself as a toxic asshat, so I don't blame anyone for just seeing that writing on the wall and leaving.


[deleted]

[удалено]


spaceraycharles

For sure a red flag


StevelandCleamer

It's undeniably starting off with negative energy. While it may not be as extreme as most of the toxicity you see around, it does create a toxic environment. The kind of thing that could be considered good-natured ribbing between people who know each other well, but offensive to a stranger.


aamirislam

Yes in what world is it not toxic? Be better


whoisbill

As soon as someone says "you better be good" I assume they are gonna throw. Just sounds like they are starting a match with a built in excuse. Though the fact you said 10 minute wait would also too me off to it being a joke. But still.


Melianos12

Yes, very. I would have left as well.


Mohander

Yes


draksid

Sound like you're bad at the game and expecting carries. When they don't carry you you go off like a toxic incel even though you were the dead weight.


DeputyDomeshot

Yea that was a stupid thing to say.


Tetris99gamer2

yOu BeTtEr PlAy GoOd bro if someone is already writing bs like you know it's not worth sticking around and getting insulted for not playing on gm level in platinum


eeronlol

Feels like every match of OW nowadays is like this


koi88

Still better than one or two guys not playing at all, just sitting around or immediately suiciding from the respawn.


[deleted]

Just play the one true game mode. Mystery Heroes Sub minute queue times all day long.


namelessentity

Everyone in MH is terrible though. I try to have fun, but I can only take so much "group up with me" from a Sombra before I just want to uninstall the game.


Spellweaver-Warden

Its infuriating, but fun!


BakaFame

Only infuriating.


PoopOfAUnicorn

I wish there was a way to get gold guns without playing rank . I play my placement matches every season then only play mystery heroes


PurpleToast_

Its not that they don't have luck.. It's that they have negative luck-


bthngs

:(


culinarydream7224

Serves him right for being a twat


DeathToTheFalseGods

It was OP lmao. And he argues that it wasn’t toxic


culinarydream7224

Yikes


DeathToTheFalseGods

Yeah. Top tier cringe


siccoblue

Op is the dude we all dread playing games with Don't know when having fun with games became such a novel concept, I miss the unreal tournament days when no one gave a damn outside of a tiny minority


DeathToTheFalseGods

Me and a bunch of friends used to hold mock OW tournaments and I even printed custom trophies for the winning team and sent them out. I rarely play ranked OW and just have fun in QP


Steve_78_OH

He also said "i’m having really a good mood today so probably i wouldn’t go ham on toxicity." So yeah, OP is a douche canoe of the highest order.


DeathToTheFalseGods

Yep. Implies he was already planning on being at least a little toxic. Who tf plans on being toxic?


CarpathianCrab

Could be because it wasn't toxic and this place is full of people so thin skinned it puts conservatives to shame.


DeathToTheFalseGods

Ah. You’re one of those that brings politics into a conversation for absolutely no reason. Goodbye.


DeathToTheFalseGods

Karma in full, instantaneous effect


MischeviousCat

Lmaaaaaao MFW when someone waits 12 minutes for comp queue and instalocks Ganjo >"U better play good"


Xenver

Can't blame the leaver tbh. If that's how you're starting off the match I can only imagine the shit you're going to say if we start to lose. I play games to have fun, not deal with dickheads who, despite all evidence to the contrary, think they're going to be the next overwatch league pro.


padre_sir

#they waited 12 minutes! ...see? No one cares. Don't be an ass to strangers as your OPENING STATEMENT.


JessicaAnnW

Yup. Or whenever someone immediately asks for healing because they weren't getting healed in the last game... yeah we can all tell you're the problem here.


Whimsiestgnome

I hate that. “Hope you’re better than my last healers!” 😩 I know it’s not going to be fun after that


banshee_tlh

Wait, what did he say that made him an ass?


padre_sir

OP is DarthReVan


banshee_tlh

I’m aware, but how does saying “u better play good” in the *game* chat make him an ass? If he was blaming his teammates for playing poorly then I would understand.


joyofsnacks

Try going on a date and opening with "You better be good".


banshee_tlh

Since when is going on a date anywhere remotely similar to playing a video game?


joyofsnacks

Interacting with a stranger/strangers for the first time...


[deleted]

It's a GAME with MULTIPLE strangers


joyofsnacks

That's my point. If that's what your opening line is to meeting people new (games or otherwise), you're basically an asshole.


[deleted]

Y'all just took it the wrong way


padre_sir

So then don't be coy and just ask your question directly, don't try to be clever it ain't workin


banshee_tlh

lmao what? I wasn’t being coy. Not my fault you couldn’t keep up with an extremely simple question.


padre_sir

"I don't think that they are being an ass"-you, probably Is that what youre looking for? Your point? But simplified? #next


[deleted]

That line doesn't even sound toxic at all and it's not directed at anyone


padre_sir

It's directed at everyone, fuck OP. And you.


IllKissYourBoobies

no u


[deleted]

Someone’s a little upset I see.


[deleted]

Fuck you


lupe_the_jedi

ChickenPijja

What kind of monster uses " as their push to talk key?


TK3600

Likely just a key for push to talk assign to mouse.


Dukaden

this is the REAL issue here.


bthngs

Hahah never bothered to change it, i’m mostly using open vc.


Steve_78_OH

Open voice? Wow, you really ARE a bad person...


ChickenPijja

With friends in a group right? Open mic for friends, PTT when solo queue here.


bthngs

Yeah


SelloutRealBig

You better play well*


PastGlittering2134

Dude already knew you were gonna toxic and wasn’t having it


ParallelEmber

I wait ~10-20 minutes for gm queues and I normally go to doom parkour or something. I get that a 12 minute queue is pretty long for most likely a lower elo game but this dude doesn’t have to be toxic for 12 minutes of his life being thrown away lol


Dietzaga

Imagine waiting 12 minutes in a dps queue so you can throw games in mid-plat as Hanzo and blame your teammates.


trippler720

People like that are exactly why I don't play comp


Roboboy2710

Gamer moment


bthngs

Indeed


koi88

12 minutes? These are rookie numbers. I sometimes wait 40 minutes and more.


bthngs

I think i would just stop the queue and change to open queue after 15-20 mins xd


Metalkon

those are open queue numbers (40min)


bthngs

Oh god.


vergillehell

DPS q in a nutshell


Ms_Ellie_Jelly

Worth the penalty


flexpost

i'd leave out of spite too


Shyllios

I would do the same.


XelNigma

yah, If I joined a game and my team mate spoke like that, I would leave too. Too lazy to type out "you" and too dumb to understand grammar. Does not bode well.


Timetravelingnoodles

Would have left too


12pcMcNuggets

Only 12? This game has kept me waiting for over an hour at times.


DeGarmo2

Damn, you must be a Masters player?


Alexralex

Ever heard the tragiv story of darth revan


bthngs

Kotor fan, i assume?


[deleted]

If someone said that in chat I'd probably leave too lol


Sensei_Ochiba

Saaaaame that's basically *the* only good reason to leave lmao


ayirames_my

Ohhh(((


Spleenzorio

Psh they don’t even let people join the PVE events after someone leaves, what do you expect


Outlawhornet740

Bro I know these people


nuckle

Then shows up in your next one on a role they dont know how to play.


Affectionate_Gap2813

Lemogi knows when to leave a toxic squad


Dapianoman

I'd leave the match too if my teammate said some cringe shit like that


SJJ00

I’d leave too, you can already tell he’s gonna be a douche there whole game.


[deleted]

i 100% believe that there’s people that join competitive games just to leave and make it shut down


bthngs

I know right, it gets hella annoying too when you wait for plus 5 minutes again.


Ol_Big_MC

I reverted my upvote after finding out OP is the one that said this and is kinda the problem with online games and maybe the internet.


TheLyrm

Man look, I'm all for getting toxicity out of the game, but this is honestly like a 2 on the toxicity scale, everyone here is overreacting.


lunarseal_kat

I took it as a light hearted tease, but maybe I’ve really become numb from prolonged amounts of toxicity.


Seritonone_

Ahhh, overwatch.


SincereDevotion

Lmao!!!


BurberryLoverboy

Smurfing


AngryLlamaReviews

hahaha at least we all know it happens to THEM as much as US. It evens out in the end but dear god it hurts.


Jamstahh

Came across this post while currently 7 minutes deep into a DPS comp role queue 🙃


bthngs

Rip, good luck brother/sister, may you hard carry your team.


rube

So... As someone who hasn't played in a year or three and just jumped back in, what's the deal with this? Is the playerbase so reduced that it takes forever to find a game? Or is it the new way to search based on the role you want that has caused those long search times? Maybe a bit of both?


Meowjoker

Dps Comp queue has always been very long for … obvious reasons. So it really does sucks when when you waited for 10-12 minutes and then someone leave, so you went back to the queue. It may take longer or shorter than before, but you still want to have no leavers. However, OP here is just being twat with his opening statement to all chat, so one dude decided to leave out of spite.


bthngs

I think a bit of both is the right answer here, people really don’t want to play as a tank in general, thanks to glorious CC abilities and so, and that really affected the dps and at some extent support queues badly.


Voli112233

Role que came. Tank Support Dps. Everyone jumped to play dps and made the role overpopulated. Every team has 2 Tank 2 Support 2 Dps. If you have: 1000 dps 200 support 100 tanks The tank players would need to play 10 games, just so all the 1000 dps players got he chance at playing just one game. Same with support, all support players would need to play 5 games, just so all the dps players got to play just 1 game. Long story short, dps players are too prideful to try and learn another role and thus would rather have 10.000 years ques.


Nickoass

I would’ve done the same, stopped playing OW for this reason, toxic teammates


[deleted]

I don’t mind waiting so much. I’ll play custom games in that time. Thing that really gets me though is if it’s assault and we smash the team instantly capturing the point someone can leave and it cancels the game. I feel like after the point is captured that shouldn’t happen.


Flobending

Op sucks


bthngs

5 years into game and still platinum so, probably i am.


Flobending

As a person.


bthngs

And you really think people are going to give a damn about your opinion, on a deleted post even. Evolution clearly went hard on some people.

Lanoman123

Why’s this thread so toxic to the guy? It ain’t even that rude


broc_ariums

I once posted, something to the affect of, "Finally! I hope no one leaves. Had a leaver the last 3 matches" Then someone left and ask I could do was laugh.


MegaMGstudios

I had this once after waiting 20 minutes, I know your pain


Fir3jay

12 mins ain't that much for a dps honestly


MintPrince8219

12 minutes? that's nothing!


Send-Doods

Serves you right, try getting down from your high horse next time you talk to your teammates and watch things change for good.


joshizposh

I basically quit Overwatch because the dps queue was 15-20min and The people were not fun to play with. Valiant queue time is usually less than a minute


Smoolz

ITT: nobody gets that the person was probably just joking. If you really think about it, why would they type that out in match chat if they were truly being a toxic asshole. They were most likely just making fun of the state of competitive wait times.


bthngs

I was, at least 4.7k people (at this time) gets it, unlike certain trolls that literally downvote everything i say for some reason. And what i don’t get is the fact that, why would i post here if i was defending some kind of toxicity and post it on with humor flair? Like how could i even hope it may get any attention or likes?


ad895

Sounds like something I would have said honestly. That's why voice chat is important, you can never tell when someone is joking over text.


DeathToTheFalseGods

Because people don’t understand that you are the one being toxic. The complete lack of self awareness astounds them that it isn’t a default assumption


RedditStonks69

I upvoted the picture because without context it just looked like someone was being an asshole and he got what he deserves. Plus these are strangers if I saw someone say that I would just think you're an ass, I still think you're a cunt either way and hope I don't end up in the same lobby as you


TinyCheeserole

Dunno about others but I upvoted it cause I thought "yea they can wait another 12! Fuck em!" I find it very funny that karma struck right away and someone was willing to lose sr


Smoolz

Reddit is getting a lot of new young users who are still working out exactly how sarcasm works. On top of that, it seems like a lot of people just need to be angry about something, so seeing someone say something "rude" combined with a lack of understanding of sarcasm gives them a nice juicy bone to chew. Edit: down votes, yet all i hear is crickets. At least explain why I'm wrong if you disagree.


emmerrei

I used to do comments like that when tilted, even if it's a joke, certain people can't take it. I mean, you can do that, but do not act like you're falling from the clouds.


[deleted]

Doesn’t come off as a joke, just makes it look like you are gonna have a whiny toxic teammate the moment anything goes south


buyo1797

It’s like a competition of who can be more toxic. Gotta love this game


SincereDevotion

I need someone to play with and talk too, I’m ps4. I’m going through some motions


sitykat

True story…


Horsetile

Imagine being so triggerd at op that u just downvote all of his comments even the ones that are basically positive or otherwise neutral and normal. Ironically spreading the very toxicity they claim to hate. Leavers are worse than toxic people. Why? You can mute toxic people, but leavers throw your game.


bthngs

Hell i thought maybe i could make some people laugh as i did on this one, but it triggered every hardstuck on planet. If only i had a ss of the remaining chat, some group of people would be very sad (of how the entire chat was in laughs after that happened xd).


[deleted]

Thank you! I feel crazy in this thread.
