I am not saying it will work, but I try it and by trying it is judged, without trying it cannot be judged.
if it is normal for you this reasoning…(taken on another topic).
Boycott … is it a political issue or a social issue?

Zarya is pretty good in TDM as a solo tank, and she can be facing up to four DPS at a time. You can’t just mash your face into people when you know there’s a lot of incoming damage aimed your way, and that’s with the current 2-2-2 balance where she isn’t intended to be the only tank on the team.
You can judge things without trying them sometimes. This is one of those times.
If I were to suggest that we change the default team comp to 3-0-3 and just eliminate the DPS role, it would be obvious without trying the experiment what would happen.
Because there’s no way this card will be good(I’m one of the people who’s going to be optimistically trying it but I’m speaking as a general feel here). All blizzard has said is that they will change off tanks. That’s it. No buffs to main tanks and, more importantly, no nerfs to dps that are too tank busty. Because of the later, there is no way tank players are going to like this. Like me personally as a tank player, even if I had double health, I would not be comfortable solo tanking against a mccree, Mei and a doomfist. Like, I’d rather eat Mora’s nails. And that’s not a good thought. …it’d be like elbow macaroni, but really really sharp and uncooked.
It’s a game, you judge it after trying.

I already tried it friend. I played this way for nearly 3 years. At least 1 match in every 3 was this mode. It was awful.
Yes, you have tried it but without modifications and many patches back

Queue tank and throw.
If they’re buffing tanks so that playing one is viable and fun, they are going to be pretty important so if your tank is performing poorly it will have a huge impact on the team.
I’ll use the Hog cloud thing as an example since I don’t know the other changes. If you’re hog and you’re off doing things by yourself or throwing but the enemy Hog is giving his team that damage reduction, you are a big detriment to your team.
If you want an easy way to consistently “ruin it” or at least increase the chance of you losing significantly, just take up the only tank slot and throw.
Those modifications do not matter. I don’t really care how they re-balance the tanks. That doesn’t actually address my objections to the comp. The balance of the tanks is not relevant to my objections. It’s about the tank being the sole carry role on the team, the pressure the tank feels, the irrelevance of DPS going forward (they really don’t matter in this mode), and the complete loss of all tank synergies. It’s the destruction of the off tank role entirely. Those things won’t change no matter what you do with balance.
but please, try it and then judge, do yourself a favor.

I’ve already tried it.
Two words : one I can’t say on the forums, other is no.
1-3-2 should not look popular at all, should look like it is which is a horrible idea.
Enjoy your super long DPS queues as no tanks want to solo tank

A bigger hero pool is needed to be honest!
More support/effect should be added too!
“support” is not only for healing, add more buffs and debuffs to this game!
Like wind blowing, slow-turn-around, slow down the bullet speed, poison, time bomb, weaken, purification(remove debuffs).
Some team-buffs or team-nerf should be given to some of the heroes when they appear in a team.
Too much limitation for the team is insane because this is not the original idea of Overwatch! I’m willing to see some of the team using 3-2-1, some 2-2-2, some 1-3-2 or 3-1-2, which is totally fine for me.
The competition is boring when we keep seeing the same heroes in every map for 6 hours!
As a tank player: no thank you
Join me and the rest of the tank players in boycotting this experimental card so the DPS will see how long queues can get to.
I don’t need an experiment card to be motivated to do that anyways. The balance team and the matchmaking are already pushing me out of the game

I might try it, but all I can see this doing is going 1 of 2 ways:
-
The solo tanks are underpowered. They melt, and it’s basically a full FPS fest of who can gun down the other team the fastest.
-
The solo tanks are buffed to be too much of a bother to kill so each match devolves to the ranks on each team waving “hello” to each other on the objective while waiting to see which team’s DPS/supports come out on top to then descend to the point and pile on the tank.
Plus, everyone is focusing on tank changes and DPS queue times but, what support is ever going to want to play this? Like I said, I’ll try it, but I’m a support main. Supports are already feeling less and less impactful in live, and now you’re putting in a mode where there’s only 1 tank (so inherently less defense) and MORE squishy DPS that already eat dirt fast when they’re not protected, with MORE damage flying at your team?

How about you do yourself a favor and stop acting like this is different than forced role queue.
I don’t know, I have a feel this 1-3-2 won’t work because nobody will want to solo tank because the only extremely viable tank right now is Reinhardt, i’m glad they reverted some of the Sigma nerfs but i want them to remove that 1 second cooldown for shield withdraw, that is so annoying.
But for real right now, Tanking just feels horrible and making it only one tank is really pressuring the Tank player. The reason DPS queue times are so high is because almost every single character on the roster is a DPS character, and everybody wants to play DPS because they have the most options, This won’t fix queue times at all in my opinion and will just strain out the game even more to the point where your freedom is meaningless.

No thanks. I’m sick of subsidizing dps players.
