If you do not equally que tank as you do dps, you are part of the problem, and the reason your que times are so high.

Devs should make Tank have a playstyle that DPS players think is fun.

I’ll take homogenization over losing a large fraction of the playerbase to bad queue times.
We can leave the heavy focus on “jobs” to MMORPGs.
Devs should design a game around the playerbase they have.
Not some imaginary playerbase they don’t have.

they’re trying to fix this problem in OW2 by making the tanks more brawly and more DPS-y

You could remove the tank role entirely and achieve the same thing.

Which I as a dps player don’t even want lmao If I queue tank I want to play tank not a fat dps XD

Then you’d probably just end up with some sort of GOATs equivalent comp being the dominant strategy.
Not to mention, lose a sizable fraction of the playerbase by dismantling RoleQueue.
I’d rather lose a minority of players who don’t like that Overwatch isn’t designed like an RPG.
The number of people today who can not spell queue is too damn high.

It’s going to backfire. Dps will still dps and tanks won’t want to tank.

With Jeff gone i hope they rid of this disgusting tank, damage, healer nonsense. Make an FPS game AN FPS.
LOL. You picked the wrong game if you didnt want an fps with MOBA elements./Go play COD. unless you are joking

I mean, Valorant is an FPS with MOBA elements.
I just came back to OW a little while ago, and I have to say, tank and DPS are equally dissatisfying. I think they might be balanced!
The really depressing role is support. I have no idea how people are still enjoying it at this point. It just feels so…helpless. I mean, tanks get wrecked because your team doesn’t back you up, but in the 1/50 games they do, it’s pretty awesome. DPS feel mostly irrelevant if your tanks aren’t pushing, but when you start spawn camping their back line, it feels worth it.
But support? If it’s going well, someone else gets the praise, if it’s going poorly, there’s nothing you can do to change the tides. It’s so depressing.
So yeah, short story long, dps should totally queue for tank. It’s almost as fun! Stay out of that support queue, though.
The irony here is that support is by far my best role. Just goes to show how little impact I have on my wins.

Yes, but we can all agree that it is nothing like OW due to where it lies on the spectrum of MOBA and fps
I still think dps are more impactful than tanks due to the shredding nature of dps, but you are right supports are the most dependent and hopeless.

Perhaps, but I would say Overwatch should be inbetween Paladins and Apex Legends, and head further in the Apex direction.
