Will there be endorsements? Achievements? Proper matchmaking?
So everyone should be stuck with the current system because a minority (as evidenced by the fact that it’s being added) don’t want longer queues/role queue?
Endorsements are a pointless mechanic that should never have been added in the first place.
The matchmaking probably won’t be very different aside from a larger portion of DPS players being in it since many tank players probably will stick to the new mode.
Coming to arcade, Classic QP
Sssh. I want those 4 boxes once in a while. (endorsement level 5)
The game will still have Quick Play Classic. So its not going anywhere.
The reason they must have the same rules in QP as in Competitive, is because QP can be used to practice before going into Competitive. One of the many reasons it needs to be the same, and also because it is the main game as it is supposed to be.
I wont… it is the worst experience in the entire world to have to solo heal 5 people with the massive ego’s and you have to walk on egg shells and can’t even ask for a tank or another healer or you get called toxic or someone snaps on you. Nah ill stick with the 2/2/2 tyvm.
Don’t worry, it will come back pretty soon when the devs realise role queue in QP is a terrible idea and players start leaving in droves.

to be fair, hammond mercy and 4 dps is a legit meta… at high levels with people that can coordinate.
On the average ladder and quickplay match… it isn’t.
So 1-1-4 is not a good comp enforcer.
because 4-1-1 is a specific strategy, not a type of composition.
4-1-1 is specifically made of hammond+mercy, it doesn’t work with any other tank-healer comp. And it’s one of the hardest comps to play well.
It shouldn’t be hard to understand.
What strange fantasies you have. I’m glad nothing in it reality reflects that.

ok, reading your post it’s absurd how much you are nitpicking in a desperate attempt to make your opinion matter as much as Kaplan’s.
Jeff Kaplan is the GAME DIRECTOR. Every single choice passes through him.
If he doesn’t like 4-1-1 then they won’t include it. He doesn’t have to sit down and explain every single minute detail to you.
His opinion literally matters more than this whole forum combined.
That and he has an internal team of various players at various ranks, consults the pros and probably reads some of the suggestions in here, but he is the one calling the shots.
If you watch pro play you’ll realize that 4-1-1 has a specific hero selection and straight up doesn’t work with other tanks or healers. And it’s rare and a bit risky.
2-2-2 is simply more balanced and generic and it’s kind of how the game is designed to begin with, it makes sense this is the enforced comp.
I mean, you seem to dislike opinions different from yours, so take the hard fact that 4-1-1 only works with hammond and mercy and is not that popular of a comp in the first place.

The “it’s QP chill” thing was what has been driving me insane for literal years.
So yeah, I feel you if you feel like your freedom has been restricted. That’s one of the worst feelings, I truly sympathize. And I’m not saying this ironically, I really do.
It’s just that me, personally, will be much more satisfied now.
I hope. Because oh well, DPSing healers will be a thing now I guess.
But hey, I guess if the other Support goes full DPS, there’ll be lots of endorsements for me which will translate into more loot boxes, I guess?
Uhm, with respect, who told you that?
Because QP is very much a normal Overwatch game.
Maybe you’re talking about skirmish or the practice range?

Then let us use those specific comps with Hammond and Mercy. Let us take the risks.
Jeff’s individual opinion on balance doesn’t matter. Devs don’t balance or at least stated that they avoid balancing around personal feelings. They have a balance team for balance.

Ok, how far up your *** is your head if you think the opinion of the GAME DIRECTOR doesn’t matter?
but 4-1-1 has been played and recognized on a pro level.
Emphasys on PRO LEVEL.
It only works with hammond-mercy and one needs to know when and how to use it.
So yeah, it’s a meta, but it’s definetely not gonna work on ladder and it’s the worst possible distribution in a role queue.
I mean, the game has been literally built around 2-2-2 mostly and balanced as such. Because before brig stacking healer never was this powerful.
Quad Tank didn’t really last that long and the rest was all 2-2-2.
People who genuinely think 4-1-1 is a good distribution are dumb.
Still, it is a pro-meta, that is fact.
Yea it’s to bad you have to click on another page and a different button to get the EXACT SAME MODE.
Arcade games rotate out unless your name is mystery heroes.
