Can we please have two types of comp? 222 and old comp

[Thorny-11568]

Won’t happen, because if people queue in the ‘classic’ mode then it’ll remove players that could be bringing the 2-2-2 queue down. Throw in that only DPS would have an incentive to go classic mode, and you’re going to have way less tanks and supports than you did before 2-2-2 was a thing.

given your theory that mostly dps would go classic, adding classic side by side with 222 should have exactly the desired impact on 222 dps queue times - they should fall notably

also not everyone’s game will be dps… there will people who would want to play normal like before 222

@y0urd00md-2607

Those that want to play 222 style can queue for comp with others that want 222.

Those that want the old system back can queue for comp with others that want the old system.

i rather play with 5 other dps then sit in queue for 10 mins… atleast the game was over in that time and in rare cases won.

Blizzard won’t have multiple different versions of Competitive so long as Overwatch League is still running.

Plus, there’s already an issue with queue times in Role Queue. You add a second Competitive mode to the game and that would make queue times even longer because you’d potentially be taking players away from Role Queue.

@y0urd00md-2607

i know. but still for the last 17 seasons there have been plenty of proper games where there were proper comps.

now if someone d/c or leaves you cant replace that role. so from 2 healers you are down to one.

Which is why now, more than ever, Blizzard need to add backfill to comp.

Competitive needs backfill

Having a competitive mode without anything in place to help a team recover from a leaver/disconnect is an absolute travesty. Blizzard needs to add backfill to competitive. If someone leaves or disconnects from a match, then someone else can load in to take their place. Have a “reserves bench” system in place for if the disconnected player reconnects (thus allowing for them to avoid the leaver penalty) and give them the option to rejoin the match at the start of a new map. Make competitive ba…

@y0urd00md-2607

well at least you please 100% of your community as each one can choose to play 6 dps or 222

There will never be 100% of the community pleased.

@FLOW3R-21206

Let hope they revert soon

They won’t.

I can tell you if given a choice between at most 2 DPS players or up to 5 DPS players, 90% of Tanks and Support will play 2-2-2 over a Classic Mode.

The only players a Classic Mode benefits is players that don’t care about team composition, and want to just play DPS. That is why it will be mostly 6 dps vs 6 dps.

There are more benefits to Freedom than what is listed in the post above, and many support and tank players (myself included) have stated they prefer Freedom over 222

Many support and tank players (myself included) have stated they prefer 222 over the crapshoot that was Comp before Role Queue.

If they care about feedback at all, i can say…

I absolutely HATE Role Queue.

The games have been much much worse, and the queues have been unacceptable.

The game was MUCH better before when you could switch to ANY hero to help out the team. I also enjoyed the instant queues. I also found most teams made a good comp anyway.

So, to me this entire change was for nothing. Didn’t make the games any better. But it made the experience 100x worse in every single way.

I absolutely LOVE Role Queue.

The game was MUCH worse before when you could switch to ANY hero to the detriment of the team. I also feared the instant queues. I also found most teams made a terrible comp anyway.

Most low gold players will say this I think. I have 3 accounts. This one in plat and two in diamond as dps and high play on the other two roles. This has made the game much worse for me. Sure you have two tans and two healers every game now but the people queuing for those roles are often absolutely terrible at those roles.

[predat0r-2569]

It was never about 6 DPS it was about 3 DPS, because it sucked to be the lone support or tank player who the rest of your team was utterly reliant on.

With old mercy it was semi viable, now with the supports a bit more balanced it isn’t fun for tank or support.
