In the âoh so goodâ open comp I had this 7 times out of 12 rounds. It is not a myth.

Which is completely different to what was Pre-Role Queue comp.
The last 500 out of 4 matches I had were 8 DPS on my team. As that is the frequency and number of DPS everyone always claims life was like before Role Queue. Plus Open Comp has been out for less than a week, so obviously thatâs the end all be all of the Comps, there, right?
Yeah, pre-role queue was a total blast to sit through matches where some folks refuse to play certain roles or folks who just canât player certain roles in their rank.
Role queue is a god send and thereâs nothing negative about it besides a longer queue time for all. Which, queue times wouldnât have gotten as bad as they are, if they didnât keep ruining Tanks and Healers for their âOWLâ and DPS empowerment.
If thatâs what you really think, then thereâs literally no use talking to you about it since you wonât change your mind no matter what. Have a good, bud.
I dont feel like scrolling to see if someone already posted, but jeff himself already replied about a very similar suggestion, this was his answer

the reason 2/2/2 was inevitable was because new heros allowed certain play styles to be used that would throw the game into chaos.
the 5 dps problem wasnât what made them do this, but the dominance of tanks in owl.
tanks are too good, and having 4-5 made every match a mirror, and removed most picks from the game.
2/2/2 has been a blast from a tank main perspective. but thatâs mostly because i donât bother with comp.
ow comp is for streamers and people who want gold guns. anyone else is wasting their life on that mode.
I just want to say that is not a myth and that happens 30% of the time. Open queue is good were it is. In the arcade.
Just to bump your statement and adding a point to the other statement in your post.
The reason there are less tank and support players is the lack of fun in these rolls. Tank is unfun to play and supports get yelled at. This together with the recently introduced DPS nightmares Doomfist and Echo (designed to get new players into the game) made them leave.
The âunfairnessâ of long q-time by DPS players is generated by this major issue. Changing the 2/2/2 to a 1/4/1 or back to open pick, would proberbly make the games even worse (for the tanks and supports 100%). We will lose even more âmainâ tank and support pickers. The rest will start picking DPS based heros of their roll (Roadhog or Moira/Brig) that they can deal dmg aswell. I donât think that will be fun for DPS eitherâŚ
Well queue times would have still been a problem and what if I wanted to play dps why should I roll the dice and see what I wanted to play. This creates more problems than it solves.
Q-times are a problem because most tank and supports quit the game. The playerbase is to low with the majority of players beeing DPS.
There is no statistic or evidence that shows any role leaves more than the other. Also cc is getting a reduction across the board if you have heard so tanks should have an easier time. The queue is long because of a lot of dps players not because of other roles leaving.
So you say the playerbase is as high as it was during release? Statistic evidence is delivered by the time each role needs to get in a game. Tank about 2 mins, heal about 2 mins, DPS about 5mins (QP). I am more than convinced, that tank and support players left or switched to DPS since it is more âfunâ to play or have an impact
If you have heard most tanks still donât have an easier time, since cc was only one issue but not the main issue.
So Open Comp has returned after months of being gone. People have been deprived up the ability to swap, have different comps, etc, for months. If someone was starved of food for weeks, and you put them in front of a table covered in all sorts of food, do you think theyâll just sit there, grab a spoon, and then eat like a civilized person? No, theyâd shove as much food in their mouth, even going so far as to harm themselves, because itâs finally something theyâve been craving for for a long time. Thatâs whatâs happening in Open Comp right now, and itâs only been out for a few days. Acting as if itâs always been like this or will always be like this is ridiculous after such a short period of time being active and after such a long period of time where itâs been gone.
I donât particularly want the game to decide what role I should be. What if I wanted to go rotate each week playing a different role? Your proposed system would make that very messy.
Role queue gives people the freedom to choose.
The dps would have just as long of a queue using this
I was very clearly referring to competitive open que.
Nice try, try again.
Nope. Iâm not buying it. GOATs only accounts for a year of OWâs lifespan out of fourâŚand, according to the devs, GOATs was only played at the higest competitive levels.

Hmmm, itâs almost as if 3 days of Open comp being out isnât enough to say âthis is how things are going to beâ. How about stop being instantly judgemental, yeah? Thatâs how almost every bad trait throughout humanity is created.
Wasnt a myth. Boy you dps really want the game catered to you
You cry whenever one of your heroes is nerfed, a la doomfist. Look at chipsa and how immature he was being.
You dont want role lock because of the 10 minute queue time that people now days cant endure because they dont have patience
You want tanks and healers nerfed so that you can go pew pew pew more
And you hate losing so much that you guys flame the team if one thing goes wrong
But Oh No, those are all myths
Get off your high horse
