I think he did a really good job at arguing for 2-2-2 and even making it a thing for pro play. Before watching this, I thought full teams should be able to play whatever team comp they want but locking 2-2-2 might actually make the meta more diverse and also make balancing heroes easier because they can have more defined roles.
He also talks about how a lot of the frustration in OW comes from not being able to play what you actually want and how something like this can improve the overall enjoyment of the game.
And many more great arguments.
Q all the “who’s montecristo and why should I care” replies
Side note
participating in this discussion makes a lot more sense if you have actually watched it first

People who don’t care about the esports scene probably won’t care either, his arguments are really the important things

Alright guys, OP answered the question. Let’s get on with the topic eh?
Personally I’d like to see 2-2-2 played more often, but honestly I don’t think it should be mandatory.

yes…so about 2/2/2…i mean it cant hurt…that much
Is it? I don’t think arguments need to come from a certain someone for them to be taken seriously, if the arguments make sense they are good arguments. The point is really to get people to watch it and think about it/discuss it

I’d like to see it encouraged, but not required.
Can’t say I’m smart enough to know how to make that happen though.
I definitely agree that GOATS gets super super stale after a few weeks(rounds… minutes…) and something needs to change.
But you still might not get to play what you want in a 2-2-2 (or rather, play for the effect of the team).
You can sign up as dps and get the role you want, but if you want to play Junkrat and it’s a wide open map (as far as those go) or if your opponents pick Pharah, you’re still playing to the detriment of your team.

You can play the role you want, no one can take that away. I don’t think it’s specifically meant to make people play 1 specific hero all the time even though this definitely makes it more likely.
It helps people focus on a role rather than having to be able to flex to everything if they really want to be a ladder hero
