Why? I’d love mama hong, what makes you think that was trolling

Even though I want to see 222 it will “fix” the game for a bout few weeks until everything is back to dive or a new meta.

I place Mama Hong in the same realm as Jetpack Cat to be honest. Again, never say never, but definitely don’t hold your breath.

You don’t want 5 DPS, you don’t want 3-3 tank/Support, but 3-4 DPS is super popular in OWL when it happens; and certainly viable in game.

You’re trying to fix rare extremes that happen due to poor balance on one hand, and bad behaviour on the other, with a one-size-fits-all sledgehammer.

You don’t understand why that could cause issues?

So once again he only announced that they are working on features, but not what these are?
I mean we all know replay and role queue is coming, but is that all?

Quad dps is popular from a spectator perspective, not from players actually being part of that team.

Um…they kinda confirmed relative dates for a lot of stuff.

Anniversary
Summer
Early Fall
Surprise on PTR very soon.

The surprise for Anniversary is most probably the replay system.

Jayne leaked it accidentally on his stream days ago by saying in which stage such tool will drop.

Yeah, but i think its about time he actually talkes about what it is.
The hype phase is long gone, as we’re already waiting for this for over a year.

Yet 3 DPS seems fine by an awful lot of people.

This is it though. You’re trying to fix two very different issues with very different causes with one sledgehammer to the game.

That’s not a healthy way to do things.

Of course there are issues.

So here’s a compromise.

No Comp can have more than 2 tanks or 2 Supports.

Start there. I’ll even accept the IDIOTS who think 5 DPS is a viable (selfish) choice.

I absolutely HATE Lucio now, and Brig is useless outside of 3-3, and I dont want more bad design choices made, simply because Blizz is a bunch of cowards who wont make the touch choice now, and would rather bleed out good will for another 8 months.

Why is this even a thing? Replay’s do what again? Other than take a 500 gb on my hard drive…

It is a common practice tool.

Most people tolerate it, but its not the prefered comp.
It always means either we got a solo tank, or a solo healer which makes the comp unstable because it puts alot of pressure on just one player playing an entire role for the team.

This is sacrilege!!! Outrageous! I can’t beli-

Wait what? If not hero… Then…?
And “More on the long-term front”? What’s that mean exactly I wonder?

Analyzing matches, figureing out mistakes and learn from it. You can also just put your matches on social media for entertaining purposes.

So I can practice and get into Comp hoping for a good game and get…oh…4 support Mains…and 2 DPS…oh…GG guys…guess…hmm.

If this makes it into QP then rip game.

I don’t think so. “we’re entertaining the idea” is basically saying “we’re talking about it being a thing” as in, not ready at the moment.
