Quick Play Classic filtered out many of the DPS players and helped balance queue times. Competitive Classic should also do the same. Adding this game mode alongside Competitive Role Queue should help balance queue times in competitive role queue by filtering out most of the DPS players into Competitive Classic.
Add Competitive Classic in the arcade first with full competitive points prizes for golden weapons, and see if it helps balance queue times for Competitive Role Queue. If it does, then make it a permanent game mode alongside competitive role queue. But give a notification to let players know that the game is balanced around competitive role queue so that Competitive Classic players can understand that the game may never be balanced for competitive classic.
Some of you may say, don’t add competitive classic because it won’t be a competitive game mode because it’ll be unbalanced. And competitive game modes are supposed to be capable of being balance. Remember that Overwatch is supposed to game played for fun, and some players would rather play competitive pre-role queue. Let those players be allowed to play competitive pre-role-queue so they can play their type of fun competitive game mode.
As a non dps player, I would never play that mode. However, I dont know if my comrades would. If they did well then yay balanced non role queue mode!
If not, it’s literally going to be 6 DPS every game unless someone wants to solo heal.
Im sorry, I didn’t mean to come off as aggressive I meant if they were ever to release it I would simply not be interested. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
This isn’t necessarily about people who prefer Role Q. It’s about creating a mode for those that dislike Role Q as well as those that want to play more than 1 game an hour.
I would appreciate it if Classic Competitive saw the light of day.
I already know current season is gonna be my last Competitive season up until there’s hero pools (season 21 and onwards, most likely).
I’m slowly reaching my limits when it comes to my patience since RQ, map pools and now hero pools. The only thing that hypes me is the next hero’s release (and possible new maps before OW2).
Classic Competitive might motivate me to go back to playing a lot more since RQ. I tried RQ when it was first released and I found it boring. All I do now is camp at my Master rank since I’m not really into trying hard and reaching GM a third time (because of 2-2-2 restrictions that make the possibilities so limited).
I feel like people on these forums are always getting what they want except for me (and I haven’t been asking for anything from 2016 to 2019).
Classic Competitive would really give the game another life to me, especially if hero 32 is not being released anytime soon.
Role queue made Overwatch so much better. Every time I queue for comp, I can’t believe how long I played the free for all version of competitive.
Currently, I do not have to worry that one of my healers or tanks will inexplicably switch to DPS without saying anything because they think the DPS players aren’t doing their job.
I also don’t have to worry that I will be the only tank or support because I picked last or flexed to help the team.
Role queue isn’t without its problems, but those problems pale in comparison to pre-role queue days.
Separate SR. They could either copy-paste people’s SR prior to Role Queue or make a mix of the three roles SR to create a SR average.
It’s not that complicated to make. Plus, Classic Competitive will really help when it comes to balancing heroes again. I’m not sure hero pools will help in that regard.
Heroes were balanced for Classic Competitive when 2-2-2 got released and the big rebalancing and reworks around 2-2-2 patch that was promised never happened so… what’s your point exactly ?
I don’t think most people that want Classic Competitive are that bothered about balancing. They would be fine with it being balanced around 2-2-2 as they understood from quite some time that finding the right balancing to all the existing heroes is pretty much… impossible (no matter the Competitive system).
As far as I’m concerned, I understood 3 years ago that this game was gonna be a buff and nerf fiesta every other month because of devs giving too much credit to people that are constantly complaining since release.
You got 2-2-2, map pools and hero pools by constantly whining on these forums so I still think we got our chances.
I wouldn’t put my hopes down just yet !
Except that we want it ranked just like 2-2-2 Competitive.
People that are saying that current Competitive is balanced around 2-2-2 seems to not realize that hero pools will make it very complicated to balancing heroes both around 2-2-2 (which devs are still unable to do) and missing heroes thanks to hero pools.
One hero can feel too OP one week and horribly weak the other, depending on what synergies with other heroes they have during that specific week.
You guys are acting all proud and happy about us being miserable but I can already predict all the complaints that there are going to be on these forums mid-March, saying hero pools is inconsistent when it comes to both fun and balance.
I meant if they were ever to release it I would simply not be interested. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
