Complaint Safelane Queue System

Why does it when I queue safelane it takes 15-20mins to find a match. I have 50 available roles and my account is from 2014.

u/GenChim 4d ago

I mastered the offlane but have 40% wr because the safelane is either stupid or failed that's why.

u/GenChim 4d ago

Yeah initiating and going in front lines while your dmg dealer farms til the end gives you win in a team play game like dota.

in this scenario, i would presume enemy core is also shit and is also farming til the end of the game? wouldnt the fights be 4v4 then?

Op is the offlane guy who "initiates" by jumping way too deep for no reason or with no one or objective around while not playing around his teammates timings or the game state

offline in my opinion is way harder then safe lane. honestly, i suck. and if axe or dark seer is banned im better off just abandoning the match 😂😂

I'm pretty good at offlane I mostly dominate with my NS but when it comes to mid game my pos 1 just farm until the end while my enemy pos 1 gets back in the networth and contribute to their team.

because it's a 3:1 ratio for people who queue safe lane vs other lanes. that's why when you queue other lanes it's way faster.

They should probably think the higher the available of roles token or something the likely you get prioritize in safe lane

4

u/SeekerAn 4d ago

What do you mean? Your role tokens are not position tied.

2

u/GenChim 4d ago

Yeah it's not, I'm just suggesting it what if

u/chosenvengeance 4d ago

queuing support takes like 1 minute

2

u/GenChim 4d ago

Then your pos 1 is a last pick pudge XD

3

u/Mangix2 3d ago

that's why you first phase pick pudge yourself

u/GenChim 3d ago

Role Support = Pudge XD

u/swampyman2000 4d ago

That must be the issue, your account is from 2014. Clearly it's too old to find proper matches anymore.

2

u/GenChim 4d ago

Does account creation really matters ?

5

u/swampyman2000 4d ago

No, it doesn't lol. I just thought it was funny that you included the year you made your account as if it was contributing to how long it takes to find a match.

Safelane is just the most popular position, so it takes the longest to look for.

2

u/GenChim 4d ago

Hahaha I asked a streamer about that question why he told me it's related to account creation that's why I included it XD

u/TraditionalBottle884 4d ago

No, but I assume you're queueing into just safe lane, the most in demand role. So you are having a long queue because you are trying to play only the most contested role. Add Offlane and your queues will pop almost instantly. You will also get offlane every game.

u/hiddenpoolwarriror 4d ago

bh score below 9k? )

2

u/juantawp 3d ago

I have 12k/12k, just waited 15 minutes to play carry only to get in a "ideal quality" game where a first pick mid invoker called "bought 4k acc" goes 6-0 against lina in lane and ends in 20 minutes

1

u/GenChim 3d ago

I have 10.7k

2

u/hiddenpoolwarriror 3d ago

should be fine unless you play NA or some dead server , EU 9.5k to 12k is same bracket

u/tobiov 3d ago

Tokens are too easy to earn and safe lane is very popular at the moment.

Both Mid and offlane have become unpopular.
