Pick a passive is live. You keep current role passives.

I-
Huh.
This…actually sounds kind of cool. I think some passives will be stronger than others for each role, but that seems like it’ll be a good experiment to explore other passives!

I love how the dps passives are basically just old sombra passive, extra ammo or old dps passive…
Ana with lower cooldowns will be a nightmare XD

I’m also slightly confused by this.
Does that mean that the DPS debuff doesn’t exist, or this is a passive on top of the current passives?

I hate to be that guy, but it’s go faster or take less damage /:
Good idea though.
Oh, oop. I did not see that. 
Thank you for correcting me.
I wonder if they’re considering flat-out changing the passives? Or adding more on? Who knows.
This’ll be neat. I just…I dunno, initial impressions are that the tank one is going to be obviously adding armor because it’s so strong. We’ll see how that pans out.

yea this just gets a shrug from me
I have mixed feelings about this one. I want more buildabilty on heroes but the choices here seem like they could be oppressive. Passives shouldn’t provide massive speed boosts, significantly boosted healing, or cooldowns being cut in half.

Aside from that, the other options seems pretty cool. I’m looking forward to trying them. I don’t mind trying them. This is better than the previous QP hacked IMO. Still wish I wasn’t forced into trying it but c’est la vie.
I have already determined the meta. You run the extra armor until they break out Sombra, Ana, Mei, or whatever, and then you swap to reducing the debuff. It’s foolproof!

Old passives are still there. This is something extra.
Initial thoughts:
All the tank passives are pretty good.
The dps passives are decent, but some will be useless for some characters.
The support passives are one good one (Resourceful), one decent one (extra healing for low hp allies), and one very situational one (speed boost when low health).
Oh this is in (replacing) regular QP, right? Forgot that

I think so, I don’t think they said anything about it officially yet. They did receive a lot of feedback last time but I don’t think they have budged on it replacing regular and open queue QP since they want data.
I like this concept/idea. I think it should have been in with OW2 at the start. Just more customizable heroes and stuff however, although I would have liked it more with an open queue focus (maybe). But I will try both modes and see how it goes.
So what’s the most hero and passive pick lol
It’s live in normal quickplay, but notes say it’s only up until the 16th (tomorrow)
I really really hope this system doesn’t go forward this “test”

Junkrat loves his one extra bomb.
It’s funny, my muscle memory stops shooting after the 5th because I’m expecting it to auto-reload.

My gut instinct is to roll with the cooldown reduction for supports. Running the cooldown reduction for Illari basically undoes the hotfix nerf to her pylon for one thing. Most of the others have extremely powerful abilities like sleep, nade, suzu, IF, so yeah.
If I try out QP tank, I guess I’ll go Zarya and choose the armour one? I won’t need the first choice as Zarya, allowing me to freely pick either of the others. Sitting at half HP or below is a bit nerve-racking for my tastes, even though there’s a high reward for it as Zarya, so that means armour.
