How is refusing to swap not gameplay sabotage?

It’s not only selfish that you want to be the same hero every single match, you’re now forcing 5 people to play around you to have the same chance at winning a team without a one trick has.

Except if the enemy team swaps up their comp to shut you down, your team can’t do anything more behind your dead weight.

Reportable, and free SR for whatever teammates that avoid and requeue when you do.

That’s not working with role queue. If tank A says we need a hit-scan to kill pharah and then (because DPS B doesn’t) instead switches himself to D.VA to hunt the pharah, now that would be awkward.

ok dude. one tricks are fine, if you have an issue with them to play something else. Most of the time one tricks are incredible at their hero unless they are in gold. (sorry if i sound off i’m tired as hell$

I hope I never get YOU anywhere in my team. And if you play like Blaze just described, I’d immediately report you.

Yup. I played a lot of D.VA as third tank + dps and that worked pretty well. Now I am stuck with the support role.

Zarya+Hog + shield break (s76+Hanzo+Zen+Bap) = Enemy Rein rage quitting the match because (our DPS sux, I don’t get enough heals).

Yeah sure, anyone reporting someone for throwing is immediately toxic.

That’s like when the DPS complain that they can’t kill stuff because the heals suck. It’s always someone else.

So a df/jr combo should not switch to combat echo+pharah. It should be the support that should go ana or the tank that should go hog in the hopes of a 7s cd ability hitting.

Hysterical stuff.

Many times when I ask a dps to switch or a tank to switch is because the other roles can’t actually flex enough to fix that weakness.

Hog into zen+ana without a tank that can cleanse.

Ball into mcree + sombra + even other cc

Sometimes they’re not trying to die, but they just don’t realize that they’re extremely countered and no amount of healing will save them from that. And then they keep the character to build the hypothetical ult that gets no value, while they keep feeding. That’s why sometimes it’s good to ask them to switch.

If they decide to continue feeding to the detriment of the entire team… well, it gets very dangerously into gameplay sabotage. Not only you’re not helping your team by making every fight 5v6, you’re building enemy ults.

yeh your basically saying that if your not gonna switch, your gonna report them. False reporting is not only against coc, but it’s pretty scummy.

Who say that person that dont swap would be better on swapping? So what then, swap around until all heroes are picked, all ult charge gone, and your team still losing? :man_shrugging:

Umm. I (and many others) are not allowed to do anything else than play with one other person in competitive. Your “very clear solution” has quite literally been blocked by Blizzard.

https://dotesports.com/overwatch/news/overwatch-competitive-change-bans-grandmaster-stacking#:~:text=Professionals%20in%20the%20league%20have,or%20duo%20q%20in%20ranked.

To do what you’re describing, you’re essentially limited to custom games and tournies, both which have no real structure, ranking, rewards, or ingame way to set them up. If this is the “ideal” version of competitive you’d think that Blizzard would at the very least have a clan system.

That’s like the dude who’s saying “I play this game to have fun”, and at the same time making the game miserable for 11 other people in the match.

It’s pretty selfish.

I’m a DVA onetrick and i eat pharah for breakfast. i actually hate when we get doublehitscan, because it means there’s zero pressure on the frontline and i have to stop flying at pharah and messing with her or my rein dies. one hitscan and one dva is all you need. other dps shoud pressure tanks to help rein keep space even with dva zipping in and out.

Great if it works for you. :slight_smile: As long there is no lack of tanking then when you do that. :slight_smile:

PS: That’s similar to how I used D.VA back then when there was no role queue. It was so much fun. I wasn’t really a good pharah hunter tho. :frowning:
