4 games in a row with 4 dps autolock

Quoting to make a point but I don’t really engage with predators, I pepper spray them.

[Nova-13821]

Im not trolling. I am almost certain he said this. In an interview I think.

Regardless, 2-2-2 is coming eventually whetger you want to or not so shrugs

[kreecher-11810]

@Nova-13821

2-2-2 is something Jeff wants so hopefully soon we can see how it does.

nope. jeff has not said that.

at best, its assumed this is something he wants but even in the interview, jeff doesnt make it clear that this is something that is going to happen.

What would you like Blizzard to do about people wanting to play DPS?

Add role q / 222 in qp & ranked.
Thats the easiest fix for it.

They need to finish it faster than just say ‘‘were working on it’’.

• Jeff: “I am a huge fan of 2/2/2 comp and we believe this is the accepted way to play the game.”
• Jeff: “I think role queue is a great idea.”
• Jeff: “It took over two years to write the matchmaker, and if we want to pursue a role queue it will take months and months to implement a role queue, and we have people working on this now.”

lol wut? I thought you said he didn’t?

[Nova-13821]

Ahh my apologies.

Well, he wants it, so I am assuming, eventually, he will try to make it work.

[kreecher-11810]

please, show me the quote where he says this is something he wants. and while youre at it, please also show me where he states that it is going to happen …

thanks.

Even then, not many people want to tank or heal. At best they will play Ana or Zenyatta, and mainly dps or suck really bad, or worst case you get a Mercy who uses Rez on cooldown and always died before getting it off, or gets it off, dies and the person she rezzed dies again.

[Wraithdagger-1440]

they would rather hang out with streamers and play with legos

Streamers make them money.

You do not.

[Nemo-23235]

Its litterally empty almost 24/7

[ComeGetPsalm-11676]

The most ironic part when people four people instalock DPS? They start spamming “We need a healer!” Never gets old.

Stylosa/Jeff Kaplan Interview Part 2 - Competitive Talk, Role Queue, Game Features, etc

Discussion of Topics: Brief comparison of Baptiste if he fills into GOATS or other team comps “Be careful what you ask for” - Jeff Kaplan in regards to bring Brigitte to the game Jeff says its easy to force the meta to where its disruptive for many players in the community and they don’t want to try to do that. Jeff: “We think Mercy is not as dominant as she is now and is now balanced.” Jeff: “We have aggressively made changes to knock [Goats] 3/3 down, and specific characters who are enablin…

if we did role queue, we would do separate SR’s. this is one of the things i think would be really fun (plus make the game way more balanced and improve matchmaking)

[Goldlantern-1543]

This is what killed PvP in Destiny 2. There needs to be matchmaking for incomplete groups to expect most people to want to play.

[Hitscam-1812]

Autolock for DPS?! hmmm That’s a good idea so I can lock my DPS right after I login. Jeff Jeff take notes here…

[Agu-22773]

4 tanks is fine.

4 dps is trash.

Make sure to blame the players, and not the game for being unbalanced.

[Thrall-11963]

Encourage switching when asked by punishment if you refuse.
Its a team based game, it was developed and intended to be played as a team.
Not switching when at the most asked nicely should be considered gameplay sabotage.

[jacqui-1673]

So it is your opinion that people should get banned if they don’t switch when someone asks them to?

[Thrall-11963]

No and Yes. Encouraging the mechanic of switching with a punishable offense.

[ThisLoser-11645]

What if I wanted you to switch and you didn’t do it? What would be your punishment for it?

What would you like Blizzard to do about people wanting to play DPS?

Change menu > submenu so that you get this:
Play submenu:

1. Quick Play - jump into a game!
2. Limited Play - prepare for comp play, selecting a role & join a game.
3. Competitive Play - work up the ranks
4. Arcade - New Games, New Rules, Customizable games!

Limited play would let you choose either tank, support, dps, or fill. If you choose first 3 options, only those roles are highlighted and accessible to you until you re-queue. If you choose fill, you can flex but you pick last and options may be grayed out of there are too few or many of a certain role. If no one picked tank, only tanks are available to be picked. Ana and Widow already picked, then you can’t get Ashe or Ana.
