If you people spent half the time asking Blizzard to actually fix the problem instead of whining to people who do not care, I bet I could grant your wish right now. Let’s hope Hero 31 is actually cool and not a carebear like the rest of the tanks.
Carebear? You mean like in terms of design or playstyle?
The design of the heroes. The only character that is vaguely appealing is Hog and he is literally a DPS. I ain’t even gonna pretend.
I mean, Hog could be your tank. I prefer him over a third DPS any day.
If I am going to play DPS, I am going to pick my DPS of choice. Rofl. Hog literally has no tanking abilities outside of a self heal and Soldier has that if I want it.
Why would they? I mean; it’s 10 more placements for their Tank/Support SR. And for what benefit? Can’t make use of getting good at at role if you can’t switch to it.
I’m really curious what % actually like tanking in both ideal circumstances and in sub-optimal circumstances and what % of players actually like playing with tanks that are in ideal circumstances and sub-optimal circumstances.
Depending on the % it might be better to go in a completely different direction.
Wait you think i don’t want to play tank because the comp is not 2/2/2…I don’t think that is how it works.
I want to play dps cause those are the heroes i like to play.

You know, it is a whole lot better in good situations… tanking really sucks when the team doesn’t try to synergize/play with you, they just try to do their own thing. It’s not so bad when they don’t.
Look, I’m all for 2-2-2, but my experience in other games tells me that this is just plain wrong.
League’s DPS queue was a disaster. Nobody wanted to heal, and everyone was more willing to wait +45 minutes of queue before getting into a game than to pick Soraka, which is why auto-fill was enabled.
And as much as I love FFXIV, DPS queues were always a disaster. People would just wander around aimlessly or chat with their Free Company for 70 minutes instead of switching to tank, which was guaranteed insta-queue.
DPS are only marginally more likely to switch to another role when long queues force them to.
2-2-2 can fix a lot of things, but DPS being unwilling to switch to Support/Tank isn’t one of them.
Funny how this is a very common thing to see even in OWL.
2-2-2 won’t make QoL for tanks better in any significant way.
Sure it will give them a guaranteed second tank (even though this is already the case in most games) it won’t make it more enjoyable. If you are a D.va main queuing you may have a Hog joining you instead of a tank that has little synergy with you because that Hog was a former DPS main and won’t play another tank which is likely to happen if the DPS main decides they want to do some tanking.
It also doesn’t fix the amount of CC in the game which is the biggest issue when playing tank imo. You can’t play tank even when you want to because you are turned into a rag doll with all the CC.

people said the same thing about LFG
When someone mentions a creative composition it’s always with multiple DPS. it’s never 3 to 4 tanks or 3 to 4 supports
Casue they game needs to be balanced better to allow comps that people actaully want to play

Yep, I prefer healing, then tanking. I often take dps because I get tired of being the only healer or the only tank.
So the fix is to create a balance where there is less pressure on a solo tank or healer.
Not force people to play stuff they don’t want to play
That must be why you dislike 2-2-2 lol
Uh, did you see the part where I prefer healing then tanking? I’m not switching to DPS because of pressure or because I dislike tanking or healing. I’m switching because too many comps are unbeatable without some combination of 3-4 people playing healers and tanks. If I’m going to waste my time on a game that is doomed to end in a loss, then I’ll switch to a character that I enjoy playing but don’t get much time on or (if in quickplay) a character that I suck at just to get practice at it.
Uh, and you did see the part were I said change the balance so solo tanks and healers don’t feel as much pressure right.
What they want is to force DPS to switch to tanks and healers. Which is something your AGREE is a bad idea.
Half my wins this season are me solo tanking as Orisa with 3 DPS.
I don’t care what my team plays as long as they aren’t toxic and we give ourselves a chance to win.
Edit: It’s funny how both the pro-2/2/2 and anti-2/2/2 crowds just lie about what the other want.
