I dunno, I still see a tank, DPS and support class.

42

they are there but you can all pick whatever you want in open queue

43

I still see these classes in open queue.

44

So basically use the Soldier model with same stats and have him pick up different weapons? I donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen this before.

45

guess im confused by what you meant. if you want no roles at all overwatch is the wrong game.

46

this was kind of the case at the gameā€™s launch before the devs decided to add healbot heroes

47

Well that is my point. Which is why I am not the biggest fan of 5v5.

48

im think there might be some back lash if they did that, just a little

49

Which is why I meant we should not limit roles.

50

if you think about it, they should have done this in the beginning/release. dps with a little bit of tank elements and small healing. no defined roles? they went the extreme tank - heals - dps route tho and now were here. they also went heavy health tank, heavy sustain, but only some dps have heavy burst to beat that tankish-sustain unless ults

0-5-0 is the answer for DPS mains who want CoD and canā€™t make up their minds

Sounds about right

52

So basically what Dirty Bomb was.

53

well they didnt want to make a cod clone, they already have that in the company

OW was meant to be different and to blizzard that means tanks and healers

54

Well of course, I was just poking fun at the OPā€™s idea of only having DPS.

55

If we listen to the forums 3-0-3 was the best.

56

a joke that never gets old, absolutely a fine classic

The correct answer is 0-0-6. Revert Brig back to her launch state, she can be the tank of the group. Lucio and Moira are your flanker DPS, Ana and Baptiste are your hitscans, Brig is the tank, Zen is your projectile DPS, and Mercy can come too I guess.

2-2-2 is balanced though.
In the private PMA, the devs said at some point:
ā€œthe community seems to be aligned that Overwatch is in a balanced place right now. But most of our players donā€™t want to engage in the game that wayā€.

This. Why does it seem like the worst players hard lock the most aim demanding heroes?

How about we deleted every dps character except Soldier 76? That way 0 5 0 is just 5 Soldier 76 players versing each other.

Canā€™t have the whole cast be at the mercy of Hanzo, McCree, Tracer and Widowmaker.
