Dev Team acceptance of 1Tricks, and no 2-2-2, strangled the game

Can someone explain to me how Jeff said this…

@JeffreyKaplan

We actually tried a mode we called “411” because it limited comps to 1 tank, 1 healer and the rest DPS.

It was not fun and we didn’t enjoy it. The way the game is tuned, the importance it placed on the lone tank or lone support was too significant. Also, we’ve all evolved as players since 2016 and we’re much better these days at melting the tank or melting the healer than we used to be. Once your lone tank or healer died, it felt like you were forced to completely regroup with no chance of pulling out a win.

It was a good experiment for us to try and led to a lot of good discussion. But yeah, wasn’t fun…

But doesn’t understand that this is what the game has devolved into many of the time? Especially in QP?

So Jeff understands this isn’t fun and it didn’t work… but this is what the game usually is…

Like Jeff can understand 100% and not understand 100% at the same time what Overwatch is having to face on a daily basis. Like we live in alternate realities or something.
