Now players will always be able to play the hero and role they desire in all their games. This new system drastically eliminates a lot of the problems Overwatch has had over the years from player toxicity, throwing, and all-around frustration during time in-game. Players who filled these roles with a character they didn’t want to play initially would get frustrated when they lose regardless. However, many players have tried to fill roles the team lacked. In the past, players might have ended up with a team with four damage heroes, condemning them to a loss before the match even began. The system ensures that every game you join will have two tanks, two supports, and two damage heroes. Role Queue enables players to select what role they wish to play, whether it be damage, support, or tank, prior to finding a game. The new system gives players the power to choose which role they want to play.

It will also reward players that choose roles that are in high demand. In Overwatch's case, players will be able to see the wait times associated with the role they pick. This is a common feature in many games, especially those with a focus on competitive play as it tries to create a form of balance in team composition.
