I am just telling you the hard truth. No need to argue with me.
Sorry that your best bet is to quit the game with your friends. The situation of small player base is not likely to change.
Would love to see player counts and queue times to support those “hard truths”. BTW telling people to quit the game is probably against the ToS, and is honestly why you will always be in solo queue and not team queue.
We already have automated tournament.
Why is this still a topic?
Because playing with friends in a competitive environment only 3 times a day at designated times is extremely limiting.
Except that that team “you practice with and play well with” is primarily set against solo players. That is not competition, it is exploitation. It is not fun for either side and certainly does not promote improving skills. If anything, it promotes complacency and a loss of skill.
You are more or less asking for a organized sports team to go down to the sandlot and trample whoever happens to be there.
“Us against them” is not social interaction. It is exclusion.
5v5 does have teams, yes. It is a fallacy to extend that to organized and premade teams.
The simple reality is that there are not enough people to support a team queue and a solo queue, which is why ANET merged them to begin with. Ergo, to have a team only queue, you’d have to close solo queue.
This post explicitly states that team and solo queue should be separate, so no it’s not exploitation. No is asking for “organized sports team to go down to the sandlot and trample whoever happens to be there”. I don’t want to fight unorganized teams who don’t care how or what their teammates are doing.
If the split of solo and team queue would kill solo queue, why is it that all the teams must now disperse and be forced into solo queue? Why is that okay? If so many people would leave for team queue that solo queue would dry up, perhaps that is a sign that most people would enjoy team queue more.
I honestly don’t know what it is you have against team queue. I assume you have people you play this game with and would enjoy playing pvp with. Correct?
Except that this game really isn’t team based for one thing.
Social? Having required teams introduces the schoolyard politics of getting into a team. It excludes more players than it includes and is therefore a net negative for the game.
The team based players need to develop skills to deal with a dynamic situation and the lack of friends carrying.
How is a 5v5 not team based?
How is playing a game with other people not a social interaction?
How does having a team queue and a solo queue exclude anyone?
In no way, shape, or form does having a random group of 5 players slapped together and 1 min to look over builds and “deal with a dynamic situation” more fun than having a team that you practice with and learn to play well with.
I agree, the ability to play competitively with your friends out side of 3 times a day would be nice. I like the tournaments, but normal ranked play would be so much better if you could choose who to play the matches with.
