Just play 6v6 and you can swap to dps or tank during the game

Yeah, 6v6 is superior mode. Way more fun to play support in 6v6 in my opinion. More choices to make on who to heal and when. Instead of just pumping all my heals into a giga buffed tank who just keeps getting countered in 5v5.

Already did it at some point. Wasn’t any more enjoyable. And if I want to play DPS, oops, 3 other people are already on it

At least when I queue DPS in RQ I can guarantee I’m allowed to play it, and if my teammates aren’t doing anything useful, I don’t have to waste any time trying to keep them alive

RQ for the win!

The most frustrating part of OQ is a team comp with too many DPS…

Played support in M2. Tracer and Sombra permanently on our backline, every 5 seconds. Impossible to kill because they control when they engage and they just virus, shoot then translocate until we’re vulnerable.

Absolute headache to play. I guess OW2 is about mind-numbing gameplay of virus every 5 seconds, or punch every 5 seconds, or 1 shot every 5 seconds…

That is a good point. I’ve definitely had to start filling more as tank and support lately in 6v6.

Sometimes I feel like a teacher trying to get the kids in class to use the buddy system. We need two supports, two dps and 2 tanks. So find your role buddy and let’s go out there and have a fun game :slight_smile:

But everytime I think I’ll just que dps in 5v5 when I feel like guaranteed dps, I play for like 5 seconds and realize I’m against an unkillable super tank and I quickly remember why even when I get triple dps on my team in 6v6 it’s still better than giga tank, counterwatch 5v5

The game is desperately in need of tanks. Maybe you can give it a try.

Not when I have to tank for some 0-50 Genji and a sniper Reaper or something. DPS replaced Tank as my secondary role for a reason. All I really have to worry about is myself

Edit: Just noticed I’m on a 7-loss streak across both roles combined right now. Playing DPS makes it less noticeable I guess

Yeah, I feel like I have the most impact on dps, so I get a little frustrated sometimes when I flex to tank or support and I see the guy who stayed dps is like a 3 -12 as Junkrat lol.

To me it still beats playing into a gigatank in 5v5.

I find myself getting the most titled when I play support tho. Probably because I feel like I can’t carry as well on support personally. So I just watch my teammates make bad decisions and use zero cover and then try to flame me for lack of heals.

Not as long as there are constantly 2 of 13 available tanks banned, I’ll pass.
I don’t even like 6v6 but at least there i can pretend it’s open queue enough to just not play a tank I don’t want to play and can just play a different role. If you think role queue made it hard for queue times to get people to play tank then bans are really gonna shock you. I can’t even find a queue time under 10 minutes on another role.

No clue bro haven’t played 5v5 for a loooong time. GL.

Oh yeah I would never tank in 6v6 that’s just asking for misery. But when I do occasionally play it there are still always 2 of 13 tanks banned anyway.

how should it have gone?

I think everyone is playing support and dps now. I noticed I climb so much faster playing tank. Which I get tired of easily, purely based on the lack of cooperation with other team members in higher rank matches. Once you get to a certain point, you just fall down the ranks.

I question this a lot, of course it gets challenging, but why did you throw me into a match to basically get stomped on? I’m pretty casual player and find that interesting the queue is doing that.

A win sometimes

10 consecutive losses across all roles now BTW. And now I have a “losing trend” on Support so I lost 27% for my latest one

I am playing a lot of Loki in the better game. I cannot stand supporting in this game for some reason. Perhaps Dhalsim Zenyatta might make me feel things again. Not that he is really a Support… But whatever.

The loss streaks will remain what ever role u play and whatever modes u play. It stick with u like sore headache that never goes. You will have to keep playing and be patient for it to go away.

I wished they were a tablet ingame where u can get win streaks for few days.
