My take on making 6v6 better without role queue

So role queue 6v6 would possibly be rough eventually queue wise.
Open queue with limits on the max per role in open queue.
I’d love 5v5 open, but… 3-4 tanks is legit un-fun and ruins it for me tbh.
Hear me out…

Okay, Open queue with an open queue format BUT limits on roles.
2 Tank max. Would be nice to keep full tank stacks out of the meta.
3 per role for Support/DPS.
Preferred queue, maybe where you pick your main role and your backup role(s).
Only want support? You may wait longer to queue.

But this I think could help with being able to queue faster if you are open to more than one role, and with 3 per role for the more popular roles, would allow some flex, and overall allow shorter queues without locking people in or only allowing 2 per role.

I think mixing open queue with some limitations to avoid 4, 5 or 6 stacking a certain role would kinda help make balancing manageable.

Lets try hero bans! Then we can force pme trick streamers to adapt

Oh no lol
I’ve heard many bad idea’s but that one is so easily broken I don’t even want to try that lol

We need to first see how 6v6 role queue works with a dev team that actually BALANCES the tank role.

Because once role queue got added, tanks were stuck in a double shield meta for 3 years and no attempts were made to make the role more accessible or fun for the average player.

^ This. I do not want to put regulation on a preassumption of 6v6 just of yet. Of course, people will think of comps like 3 tanks- 3 supports or 4 Tanks- 2 supports, but I want to first see how everything in terms of balancing would play out first before saying Tanks can only have a limit on a role.

I mean true, but 5v5 hasn’t been too kind with tank balance lol
Has the world not been on fire with the same like 4 tanks being meta for 90% of OW2?

But yeah, I just want to casually be able to tank without needing eyeballs glued to ever tiny detail while my buds all get to casually play dps/supp. Hits diff.

Oh it’s been terrible yea but that’s mainly because it’s an impossible to balance situation.

They are trying to fix format issues through balance. They are trying to fix tanks feeling miserable to play, through balance. And that’s just not possible.

All we get is every role feeling miserable because tanks still get brute force counter swapped by now the other roles HAVE to counter swap because the tanks are raid bosses. It’s a lose - lose situation.

Sure would’ve helped if idk…

They did anything to all the tanks not including sigma/hog when they changed it to solo tank.

Sure seems like OW1 but worse.
Sure seems like a money grab to me.
Sure seems like that pve isn’t happening.
Sure seems like they stole something good and replaced it with a bank account login simulator. But what do I know.
