Well the bi-weekly taskforce meeting on how to tank Overwatch went extremely well, it seems. This mode is a real gem when it comes to driving players away. Kudos, team!

“hey guys everyone hates playing tank. How can we make that worse?”
“Oh I know lets have double heros because 2 bastions or sombras is exactly what every tank wants to deal with.”
“GET THAT MAN A RAISE!!!” “harrumph” “harrumph” “harrumph”
“harrumph” “harrumph”
“harrumph”
“harrumph”
“I DIDN’T GET A harrumph OUT OF THAT GUY!” points at the Tank player sitting in the corner searching steam for a new game.

I just want to share my 2 cents that I am disgusted by this mode. Quick play is literally unplayable right now. Thanks blizzard. Keep this rubbish for arcade where it belongs please.

What the actual F are the devs thinking?
If they want to test drive something do it in experimental dont force the entire population of players to play the garbage double trouble.
If they are doing it for some promo or to have some variability fine, but dont force everyone to play it. There is a reason we have role que. Its because the game is extremely temperamental and having multiples of characters completely ruins the gameplay.
I logged in to play and got in a game where there are 2 anas and 2 widows on my team.
They are going to suffer for this BS as millions of players stop playing the game.
I dont think they realize how many people are on the cusp of leaving the game anyways. Its the exact same game from 2016. Overwatch 2 is a joke. the only difference is them charging us for everything with 0 difference.
This is the straw that broke the camels back…

I gave it a try. So far 3 games out of 6 have been 2xAna. I’ve had 2xsombra, 2xbastion and 2xtorb (along with orisa+2xana because I went hog).
This is 10x worse to play tank into than normal. They just pack in the heroes that counter the tank and double down for both dps and support. It’s quite pathetic really.
I’m so sick of Ana. This just reminds me how bad she is for the game and for retaining tank players when she is in too many games.

6 cage fights going at once doesn’t even sound like a cage fight anymore.
Reminds me in Overwatch 1 of capping a point with 8 heroes lol.

Just fought against 2 Morias, with 2 Sombras. We won, but it wasn’t fun.

Dosn’t work, multiple cage fights on the same side of the team just overwrites your teams other cage fights. If an Echo pops cage fight right after their Mauga his goes away replaced by hers.
Can’t wait 24 hours? As you are actually incorrect on several days and it is stated it is only 24 hours. They learned from the last one if it is too long they lose the player base by like the 2nd day.
I am crying laughing at the fact people either don’t realize it is or are so impatient that they can’t wait 24 hours. We are already pretty much 1/4 of the way through the event.
Yeah tbh it should have been in Experimental only.
Played one game of it
Went against double DPS moiras and two Sojourns.
nope’d out after picking my teeth up off the curb and going back to comp until this blows over

The worst part of this isn’t even that they have done it again but that they have said they would do it as a separate game mode so we could have access to normal quick play. But alas, expecting the OW team to not break a promise is my bad.

Did the same… first match in comp was a smurf stack. Good times.

IMO they should add these kinda stuff as an extra mode under QP.
Also I think they want QP to feel more fun and flavored so they are considering to add different rules and have them rotate in cycle. Just my wild guess.
I posted on their post about bringing it into quick play about making it a external thing seperate from QP because it’s just a terrible idea to force it on players, it’s a terrible idea for new and returning players to be thrown into it because then they learn mechanics related to those events and it just doesn’t help them when they jump into comp.
It should be on a PTR, or event style thing in game and not the main quick play where a majority of their playerbase plays. it’s forcing people to test content for them with little to no reward.
however i just re-read their news section and they posted this at the bottom.
Based on what we heard, we will change the way we run Quick Play: Hacked for future events. When we want to test things that have the potential of being fairly disruptive, we’ll run the mode on a separate card next to Quick Play. When we want to test something that is a little more moderate, we will probably take over Quick Play but do it for a shorter period of time during the week. And when we have a test that we feel has little disruption to the core game, we’ll probably run it the same way we did the original.
The only one who forces you to do anything in a video game is yourself.
If u don’t like it, then just don’t play the game till it’s gone
I’m not opening the game till this trash event is gone…
I just play something else.
It’s not that difficult 
It is truly awful. Makes me realise how much blizzard are not in tune with their players. Its brain dead decision making.
Who is responsible for pitching this
