Role Queue in Apex

First of all, I wanna say that I don’t like this idea of mine and I’m just bored. I hate it and don’t like it but just wanted to make a “what if” thread for this idea that popped out of my head. LMAO! 🤣

What if Apex added role queues in ranked? Before queueing, you would have to choose your preferred role of either Defensive/Support, Recon, or Mobility. This way there will be no double scan comps or double defensive legends but it would at least make sure that you have a defensive legend and a scan on your team. This will also change how the game is played in the lower ranked lobbies (rookie to gold) that is the usual GO! GO! GO! playstyle. 

Recon legends

1. Bloodhound

2. Crypto

3. Vantage

4. Seer

Mobility/Damage

1. Octane 

2. Valk

3. Wraith

4. Path

5. Horizon

6. Ash

7. Rev

8. Bang

9. Fuse

8. Maggie

 

Support/Defensive

1. Lifeline

2. Loba

3. Caustic

4. Mirage

5. Wattson

6. Gibby

7. Rampart

8. Newcastle

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends! Pre-ordered God of War Ragnarok and I can’t wait to play!

    @Cheese9ManDidn't Overwatch 1 try this and it failed as queue times became super long?

    Definately do not want this. Just fix Horizon and Seer while adding an alternative legend for Valk. And create more defensive legends areas where they shine instead of taking them away.

    But also buff the ones we currently have. Caustic & Wattson come to mind.

    @Cheese9ManI don't mind this idea. Or at least implement the one I brought up awhile back where you can see who people have pre-selected so you can choose your Legend accordingly. If you care about that kind of thing.

    @Lord_Scorpion34 Wattson and Caustic do not need buffs and they will likely never get them as they are used in comp. They need maps like old KC where they can actually lockdown areas. And they need teammates that play together. Their pick rates will never be high in pubs due to the way the game is played. Mirage needs a buff. He isnt good or used at any level. The rest of the legends all seem viable, if played in the way that maximizes their ability.

    @hayhor They said that the new map is good for defensive legends. Didn’t know where they got the idea though as it doesn’t look any different than the maps we have right now.

    @BigMacAttack8u Hmm I still think this would not stop people dropping to the biggest POI they see first. We’ve proven that the size of the POI nor loot attracts the hotdroppers. Estates is relatively small and can probably hold a max of 3 teams for loot. They also drastically reduced the loot on Fragment and we all know 3/4 of the lobby still go there.

    I’m still suggesting to have at least 2 drop ships with different paths. Anyways, still hyped about the map. I can see the eastern part of the map is where people will drop more often.

    @Cheese9Man I have not seen enough to know yet. Honestly you need buildings like the KC ones or WE ones. Olympus buildings are really bad for defensive characters and SP is SP.

    I assume this map will be good for the new legend, who seems defensive so it would make sense they tried to time this release.

    @Lord_Scorpion34 Yeah, he still needs some part of his passive to work when he's solo. I still like the idea of him cloaking when crouched, not moving, and not shooting for at least 3 seconds.
