Is the Overwatch we want different from what the devs want?

Yeah.

Why nobody likes 3-4 DPS (Jeff Replied)

Well, just speaking for myself here, but I expected 1 to 2 tanks and 1 to 2 supports with more variance. I also expected more hero switching. Naively, I didn’t expect “maining” and “one-tricking” to be so dominant. We imagined a world where players would be ok with Torbjorn on defense but not playing him on attack. The maining/one-trick mindset led to us having to rework those characters to fit with how the game eventually evolved to be played. I guess what I am saying is we hoped to be able to…

It’s honestly amazing that they managed to copy so much from TF2 without seeing the maining problem coming.

If they did, they wouldn’ve have introduced Ashe…

I’m not sure Ashe was that bad of a call at most skill levels.

Which is actually really dumb when you think about it because those 2 things are totally counter intuitive.

The game was also designed with the ability to stack heroes. It’s easier to force swapping/change the match via swapping if you can dump 2+ people on one hero.
