open queue is dead…
Either play triple tank most boring game to win or try to play for fun and lose.
Thank you Blizzard for ruining the game completely… Worse game than playing OW1 vs 6 smurfs with beginner team mates…

Precisely the reason they came out with a much more popular game mode 4 years ago called “role queue”

If you ‘play for fun’ then it is implicit that you are not playing to win, in which case you need to go quick play. This forum is competitive discussion.

Mostly hated OQ in OW1, today I gave OQ (Unranked) a shot…
Astonishing, not bad! 
1(me) - 2 tanks, 0-2 sups. Did win 3 of 4 games.
Nice suprise!

Soooooo… if i am being totally honest…
after RQ OW2… OW2 goats is somehow better than the 4 metas we have had until this point…
This precisely why Blizzard created Role Queue several years ago. Open queue inherently leans towards GOATS meta. OWtoo is no different from OWvanilla, if you played DPS in open queue past Platinum you were throwing.
The is no amount of balancing that Blizzard could do to balance open queue without destroying how OW fundamentally plays. It’s simply the nature of Meta gaming. If open queue didn’t have the 1 hero can only be picked once ruleset you not only would be seeing 3x tanks but you’d see at least ONE tank being picked twice. This is why balancing is also handled via rules applied to the game mode.
Open queue shouldn’t be anything more than an arcade mode to tool around in anyways.

Open que is fun
I prefer 2 tanks, 1 dps and 1 support. If i knkw my teammates skill, i prefer 2-2-1 support. 1 tank is hard to win for example tank would be on trouble if the enemies have good widow and winston at the same team. 1 tank wont be able to shield from widow shots and take care of winston leaping to the backline.

So what is the problem here? Is it dead or you don’t like people picking multiple tanks? You kinda all over the place with this post…

Yeah DPS is pretty dead in open queue and support is dead meat
It doesn’t make sense anymore. It would be more reasonable in competitive to replace it with an experimental draft mode IMO.
So quick play = role queue & open queue, competitive = role queue & draft.

Its funny you say this because the reason they kept Open Que was because it was more popular in the East. it had the same popularity as Role Que in the West. This was back when brought it back. I sure its going to get dumpsterd and removed now.
Competitive goats mode. Not only that, the arcade is dead too… overpowered tanks have ruined it
So you want to force people to play what they dont want to? Open que is what overwatch is ment to be, a game of counters.
In role que all you can do is to give up if your dps or support is full blown moron.
In open que you have chance to outsmart other team and actually have chance to carry and win a game if your team is retarded.

They should make open queue the Overwatch 1 ruleset. 6 players and tank stats and abilities adjusted to reflect that. As it stands it’s pretty broken from them shoehorning in 5v5 without much thought to how it will effect the gameplay.
GOATS in OW1 was not an issue for 99% of players. But it made OWL even more boring to watch and the top 1% streamers gave them bad press. So yeah, wreck the game for everyone else… Good job Blizz.
