Sadly that won’t work because Overwatch heavily relies on the tank, damage, support trifecta. If role lock was gone, everybody would just pick dps again and make the gameplay unenjoyable, especially in ranked. Even prior to role queue, Overwatch was already designed with specialised heroes in mind (tank, offense, defense, support).

worked fine for 2 years before the for almost from May 26th 2016 to 1st Sept 2019 so for over 3 years…
well the new modes should help out and people are gonna wanna play tank more when it first comes out to see what the changes are.
I am all for random people quitting Tank because my biggest worry as the Tank was that I would actually have too long of a queue. Unfortunately the people who actually realize Tanks are still the most powerful role in the game are likely to realize that will probably still be true in OW2 so my fear will likely be realized unless I suddenly forget how to play.
Yea, i doubt i going to play support heroes in OW2 aswell…
Great, yet another thing to be upset about

Be careful what you wish for. Roadhog might get wings, at least it may be better for the remaining tank/brawler.
I can see Blizz making more tanks dps oriented to solve that which is fine tbh. Catering to the current tank role is already killing time queues anyway, better to just move away from it at this rate.
Granted, they might make new shield heroes now since there’s no need to fear for things going out of control like double shield.
I still plan on playing DVA (I love her despite all they’ve done). The fast queues will be nice
I think we are all forgetting that we are still to see what other changes will be made to all the other roles. Sure it looks bad now… but it isn’t the finished product and it’s probably still has a lot of changes to go through so we won’t really know how good or bad a role will be. We are stuck comparing the game to what it is now, rather than what it’s going to be.
Let’s just wait and see!
Oh well, if even half the tank players come across then our queues are the same. So I could not care less if you don’t.
But personally, I think tank actually looks fun and I never play tank, it’s the one role I avoid.

Woah, this thread went hostile very quickly. Goodness.
The sombra rework says to me that the devs have no clue about what is frustrating to the tank role. I have little hope for the other changes making tanking fun.

4 OW2 tanks and an Ana. My nightmares would happen.
and that brings us back to why would we even get 5v5 if tanks are already on a roller coaster. is blizzs best option to just turn everything into incredibly powerful dps?
What’s frustrating for you?
Everyone is attacking OW2 with such closemindedness. As a DPS player, I’m much more likely to play tank in OW2. You’re trying to create problems before they even exist. I don’t think OW2 is going to scare people away from playing tank… I’ve never felt as excited to play tank as I do with OW2

Oh cool, so we’re gonna have comp, A.I. and workshop then?
Then again, that might not be so bad, seeing how I just had a Moira DPS the whole game and when Hanzo pointed that out, Sigma joined in with “Who gives a fudge? It’s QP”…
You know what you sign up for when you go play no limits. Busted comps existed at launch too - dwarf fortress of six Torbs, four Meis, three Pharahs with three Mercies. Not much has changed there.
