Get ready for the future. 
This will make everything so much easier.
Balance will be much easier, since stuff like Goats is gone, Heroes like Brig will also be easy to balance since you can’t have more than 2 Healers. You actually get to play a viable comp all the time instead of losing the game in the hero selection!
2/2/2 is one of the pieces Comp needs to finally improve! Their only mistake was to not make this at the beginning while also removing hero stacking, but hey, better late than never.

To be honest, I’m not looking forward to this.
I think this would screw a lot of heroes, especially the more situational heroes like Roadhog, Mei and Torbjorn.
Also, can you imagine how quickplay will be? Always 2 snipers.
It’s an unpopular opinion, isn’t it?

Obviously, it’s gonna get messy at the beginning. But after some time, they’ll be able to adjust the heroes according to 2/2/2. We’ll have to wait and see.

Cant wait. Comp solo q will hopefully become a more consistently fun experience again

I don’t know.
I think the only way to achieve this is by making them less situational. I don’t like to see the uniqueness of their kit being lessen just so they can be more versatile.
And what about quickplay? Wouldn’t the casuals not only deal with snipers then?

Even if it comes, it’s not going to be soon. They have to fix the matchmaking and make seperate sr per role.

why do you think those situational picks aren’t getting a proper buff in the first place?
It’s to prevent heavy tanky line ups.
2/2/2 allows for them to be looked at and improved.

I would apply the 2/2/2 Rule only in Comp tbh. Everything else should just stay as it is, since it doesn’t really matter there.

I’m just wondering if this is possible with some heroes. Heroes like Torbjorn, Bastion and Symmetra.
Also, Mei and Roadhog are already being seen as balanced. Just more situational. Does this mean they would get buffs to be equally viable as other heroes in their class, or is it more likely for them to get a rework?
I want to swap roles sometimes. I don’t want to be stuck to one.
That’s the only thing I’m worried about. I like swapping to healers if I think my team needs some more healing and letting someone else take DPS. I don’t want to lose the option to swap roles.

It’s okay i guess, Although it just adds further un-needed constrictions to the game.

Also this.
I had to swap a couple times to tank because the tank players didn’t do their job correctly.
What can I do if they insist on playing tanks wrongly?

Yeah, that could prove an issue. I hope they keep giving us Tanks/Supports before they implement 2/2/2 to give everyone a solid choice of heroes they can choose to please then and so it doesn’t feels as limited.
They get a chance to be looked at.
I mean imagine if they buff roadhog now. even if the meta was 2/2/2, It would have instantly turned into 3/2/1. The guy just has better synergy with 2 existing tanks rather than being one of the only 2. There are boundaries in the balancing because of that.
As for bastion, torbjorn, symmetra, etc.
You act as if these guys are being picked on a regular basis and 2/2/2’s gonna destroy any and all chance of them being viable. But is that really the case?
Can’t you see an orisa d.va comp working with a bastion? With baptiste healing?

If they insist on being ineffective a proper ranking system would identify that and demote them. The present ranking system can’t identify anything outside of team win/loss and if your weighted stats were better or worse than the average.
If you were watching a hockey game and the goalie played like he was full of holes all the time. You wouldn’t say “oh those forwards just need to work harder and score 15 goals a game”; you’d say get that clown out of the goal and get them someone who can pull their own weight.

I’m not sure here… There are a few hybrids that could work. If you are a tank or a support and you feel the dps is not cutting it, you could swap to Roadhog or Zenyatta, for example, to compensate.
I am with you when you are dps, and want something more supporty or more tanky. Maybe you could go Mei if you need more tankiness, or Soldier if you need more support?

I 've been waiting role que for the past 12 seasons.
But 3-3 havent been a problem for a long time in ranked since the last patch became a thing. Also 3-3 meta isnt played in owl so much either.
I think it should be more like tank-support-flex so people still can decide if they play 3-3 meta or not.
I used to but I prefer trusting people to do their job and focus on mine.
