Yes, all tanks are the problem

Agreed, I don’t think people take it as seriously since it’s in arcade.

Very much doubt that, it’s not up to the tanks and supports to get the kills, I used to play open queue back in the days and it was a MESS. Everybody instalocked dps and you I was the only one who had to pick a support and flex, most of the times I had to carry them HARD. AND they still would complain about not enough healing when I’m getting zero peel and they’re playing dive heroes meanwhile I was playing moira. It was A MAJOR MESS.
The trouble with open que is tanks and support mains will play there. Taking them all from the 222 que. It hasn’t helped que times at all

I suggested adding a 6v6 dps only queue quite a while ago. It would remove any pressure to go support or tank. It would be “balanced” in that everyone is dps instead of one team having a tank another not. And it would remove a ton of dps players from role queues. Nobody seemed to like the idea at the time.

Wouldn’t soldier be totally op there tho with his heals
I like both comp modes, but with all the leavers, I’ll stick to modes with backfill.
I don’t think so. You can still burst him through his heals or bully him off of the healing station. It would just add some utility same as Mei ice wall.
But neither team would be severely handicapped by the presence of a tank or support on the other team.
Koreans do.
I’m with you Megadodo. I muuuuch prefer open queue.
Mind you I’m talking QPClassic. Comp isn’t my thing.
Once they let your “time played” accrue in QPC, I never even look at 2-2-2 again.
And this as a solo healer (Mercy) like yourself. 5 DPS? Sure! Let’s see if it will work. 5 snipers? Sure! Will be a crackup if we pull it off? 5 tanks? All healers? whatever? Sure!
The change up is the fun part for me. Different maps with drastically different team comps on both sides, for every single game…it’s my favorite flavor.
Metas might be the most “technically” efficient, but looooord are they boring after I’ve run them a couple times…IMHO…I can’t, don’t and wouldn’t speak for others. The same fight, over and over and over, is just not my style.
So all the dps, that just like to dps, come on over to QPC. And if I’m in your game, I will heal the snot out of you.

You’re forgetting about health kits, makes him not exactly op
If we are talking about Competitive Open Queue, don’t waste your time. I just played it today and wanted to put a fist through my wall. It is literally nothing but Quick Play Classic, only without the option of leaving when your team is losing badly and you have crap character options and too many DPS.
It’s stupid, if I wanted bad team combos and people screwing up royally, I would of simply went and played Quick Play Classic, at least in that one I can leave without getting stuck waiting for the game to end before playing something else and won’t get the leaver penalty. It is literally the same exact thing as QPC only with prizes.

The upside of having both options available is that you can now play the mode which you like more whenever you feel like it. Those who don’t like role queue now have an option of never having to play it again. The same applies to those who are not into open queue.

A big fallacy is to believe people are so one-sided. Even though I would identify as mainly a DPS I still love to play Ana, DVA and Rein.
Who says mainly DPS players can’t play the missing roles?
As we have seen so far, team compositions are actually quite decent.
If you want a 2-2-2 experience, play 2-2-2. Open Queue will naturally be very chaotic and more death-matchy,

this can also be said from his perspective which will also be true 
Played a game against a stack of alt accounts filling GOATS…yeah not playing open queue again. Just wanted the genji emblem
frustrating if you can even get into a game. it has no high level scene
im trying to feel out what the top meta of open queue is really like on my alt (it’s not in gm, it’s only 3900 but i figure when open queue t500 starts at 3k it’s high enough) and i can’t even get games on him -_- took 30 minutes to find a 5 minute game
i still plan on grinding through the games but neither season has started off looking like a worthwhile gamemode 
It will be just like QPC. The first weeks will be a DPS fest, and over time it will start attracting back the flex players and the ones that don’t mind non-standard team formations.
QPC nowadays still have more DPS players than pre-role queue days, but it’s very common to have people picking complementary heroes and try to work on a better general strategy.
Give it some time. I welcome Open Queue back with open arms.
You sir, are a man of good quality and tastes.
