Congrats to Shanghai for going from a joke to one of the best teams in the league! Now stage 3 is over and OWL will be on break until stage 4 coming july 25th (9 days from now)
And going off of:
The Slasher leaks
Fissure’s leak
And Jake from the outlaws’ quote “The last Brig I’ll ever play! Praise the sun!”
it is almost undeniable that 2-2-2 role lock will hit Stage 4 of the Overwatch League. And assuming Blizzard continues to keep the ladder game and OWL game as close as possible, we will likely get it as well.
This also coincides with Jeff’s remark in the recent Dev Update about how multiple dev updates are coming along. With hero 31 being delayed, I only see Summer Games being worth talking about, but apparently there’s more.
Season 17 just started and will last for 48 more days ( ~7 weeks). Stage 4 begins in about ~2 weeks : 7-2 = 5 —> meaning stage 5 would be the start of a new season [18]
Dragons Beat Goats in OWL ( which was 70% of the reason why role lock conversation was a thing)
He got stage 3 wrong… but maybe Guilds will be previewed
Thank God it’s coming. I know OWL meta has shifted to more dps comps but ladder needs seperate SR for roles and people who wants to master tank/healer, not being forced.
I’m 100% going back to Competitive when 222 hits live.
Same. One of the things putting me off from comp is the randomness of it. I don’t want to deal with 3-4 dps players. And I also don’t wanna deal with that against the enemy team.
I’ll take a balanced comp that is more competitively serious. Like any other game does that isn’t OW.
Game is designed around 2-2-2, Jeff mentioned it that is not fun playing solo tank and/or solo support in a uncoordinated environment.
And it’s far easier to balance
Because you think so and are factually wrong. Look at more successful competitive team games. Role/hero locks and banning. If OW is going to get any better that has to be the path it has to take.
You’re only delaying progress just like the people that cried about no limits being removed. being able to stack the same hero was a joke and it made comp a joke. Now 2-2-2 is taking no limits spot.
Again, you are not even explaining yourself for your reasoning. Those games put you against another team with set objectives. They don’t play the same, but the general idea of the games is the same. They’re different games obviously, but they can be compared.
You’re being a child that just keeps repeating “no” because of something they don’t like.
Or perhaps, I actually look at things logically instead of complaining “WASHAHHA 4-5 DPS, WAAHH” you know, the main reason you fools think 2/2/2 is needed even though it wouldn’t fix the underlying issue of what causes those comps.
I do look at it logically. I look at more successful competitive team games. League of legends went through this same deal. There was no role queue before season 5 ish? Before it got introduced into the game, you had the same babies like you here ranting about how bad it would be.
Yet here we are and those same babies changed their mind with how much better the game became.
Overwatch already went through this before with no limits. Now it’s 2-2-2 and it’s the same babies all over again. Also again, you remain acting like a child and still fail to provide any reasoning as to why 2-2-2 is not needed and won’t fix anything.
