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

Well, just speaking for myself here, but I expected 1 to 2 tanks and 1 to 2 supports with more variance. I also expected more hero switching. Naively, I didn’t expect “maining” and “one-tricking” to be so dominant.

We imagined a world where players would be ok with Torbjorn on defense but not playing him on attack. The maining/one-trick mindset led to us having to rework those characters to fit with how the game eventually evolved to be played. I guess what I am saying is we hoped to be able to create more highly situational characters with the thought that players would switch in situations where those characters weren’t as viable.

He expected people to switch. They dont. Why? Because his own statements said we cannot get one tricks banned.

If they had not done that, the game would be better off.

Dev’s dont understand how people are playing, or how people are playing does not align with their vision.

They need to give up on their hubris, and fix the game by banning one tricks, and giving us 2-2-2, so they can actually balance the game.
