Every now and then, than everyone losing their right to switch characters mid game. I loved swapping toons mid game, and I loved working with my teams to design a strategy and unique hero set up, or to take turns in certain roles. Why take away freedoms from the game? This game is regressing further and further in design, every patch.

HotS now currently has more freedoms than OW. At least there you can design your team comp to whatever you want.
Which is depressing because the freedom to change characters mid game was a major selling point of OW. Sigh.

Why is that? Too many DPS?

No. Because QP Classic is an Arcade game, instead of on the front page being the actual QP.

literally what the holy butts are you talking about
stop trying to make this a thing
you know what really was freedom queue?
no limits
you know why the pro scene ditched that fast?
because
competition
requires
structure
you mean like
in
arcade
where you still can
where you don’t earn
competitive
points?
sounds fair to the rest of people who understand that games can be meant for fun, just you shouldn’t expect competitive environments if you forsake restrictions for “fun”

Yes. Because “Classic” is how the game should be played and designed. And it should be the front and center. Even just locking it away behind the Arcade tab drastically reduces its popularity. Now the true way to play OW is put in the same category as Mystery Heroes and Total Mayhem?
By putting the new QP as the “go-to”, a lot of people will just play that, because that’s the new “way to play”.

not according to the devs
well if it becomes low populated it means there is not alot a players that enjoy that freedom.
I’m glad new players see that instead the creativity of freedom.

Except it’s not how the game was meant to be played, but how the community made it, which was the wrong way to play. Blizzard is now implementing structure that should have been in the game from the get go. The right way to play the game, from here on out, is 2-2-2. Comp is the real game and QP is the practice version of it.
END OF STORY.

Devs are wrong.
False. Blatantly spewing false rhetoric is against ToS. You know exactly why it would be less popular. 100% guarantee that if the two were reversed in location, “Classic” would immediately be the more popular of the two. That’s just how human psychology works, and we all know this.
Their games, their rules.

I dont mind 222 but this Role Queue is ruining the game. Big POS.
How can people play cooperatively and strategize team comp DURING an evolving match when Role Queue locks people out and screws them over.
For instance, I choose Heals for role queue and am locked in, BUT during a match we have 2 tanks that are not the right comp to help our situation. We need a Winston, BUT neither Tank plays a good Winston. Buuut, I play a great Winston and one of the Tanks is a good healer and offers to take over heals so i can help with Winston. If only I could switch to Winston and one of the Tanks wants to take Heals to counter the other team properly. Out of class even swap… Nope… sorry
Denied. Teammates cannot coordinate to change the comp AS THE MATCH EVOLVES for our better good.
Role Queue is the biggest piece of hot steaming pile of crap Ive ever en countered.

Then it should have stayed in competitive mode. Not QP.

That doean’t mean I can’t argue against it, and for change. Especially since I am paying for the game. Look at WoW. Retail is trash. It has trash design and gameplay. Players hate it. We fought for WoW Classic for over a decade. Now we finally have it. WoW Classic is a successful victory for those of us against dumb changes, and who care about their fellow players, and overall good gameplay. The battle can still be won in OW, too.

There is no battle. You just have to go to reddit to see all anti 222 threads get down voted, all pro 222 gets upvoted. More people prefer it and you are just a vocal minority.
The devs gave you QP classic, they threw you a bone they didn’t have to, and yet here you are STILL whining. Grow up.
