[2019] Role Limits in Quick Play

We’re aware of a bug that is incorrectly applying role limits to Quick Play matches. We’re currently investigating and will update when resolved.

If you’d like to help us test Role Queue, jump into the Role Queue Beta Season available now until September 1. Role Queue will be fully available for Quick Play and Competitive Play beginning on September 1 for the start of Competitive Season 18. If you’d like to continue playing without role limits, Quick Play Classic will become available in the Arcade starting on September 1.

Please continue to share your feedback. Thank you!

Update - Aug 13 @ 4PM PST:

The issues causing role limits to be placed on Quick Play today have been resolved. Enjoy your games!

Thanks for getting a standard post up Molly.

Quick Play will have Role Limits but only when Role Queue goes live on September 1st.

On September 1st. See the official blog post for details.

I obviously don’t know how they will be calibrating the overall ladder, but for Overwatch, the win/loss ratio of each player generally contributes to their skill rating (its more complicated than that, but that is the key factor). What I am getting at is how whey look at the overall performance of the community and hopefully will be able to spread out the rank bubble a bit. Again, as a player I don’t have details to what they are looking for, but I do encourage the more that is played in this role queue beta season, the more likely we will have a better matchmaking experience when season 18 begins.

Hey folks, we’re rolling out a server side bug fix now to all regions and platforms which will remove the unintended role limits from Quick Play.

As Molly mentioned above, Role Queue will be fully available in Quick Play beginning on September 1.

Cheers!

Obviously, no game client update for something like this correct? They should just see it in their next queued game right (once it goes live)?

Edit: Sounds like in other threads it just happened live. No update needed.

Thanks for the update!

Hi there! The issues causing role limits to be placed on Quick Play today have been resolved. Reminder: Role Queue will be enabled for Quick Play on September 1st. Full details here: https://playoverwatch.com/news/23060961/

Hey Eggkookoo, we are aware Vs AI is still affected. We’re targeting a fix for that mode in an upcoming bug fix patch, but I don’t have an ETA for that update yet.
