Why, dear god why did you implement this trash. it takes almost all of the fun out of the game… can’t even counter pick half of the time because you are locked into a role. Every game feels the same and good luck waiting in q to play a dps, no thanks. When are you going to learn that locking people into preset team composition ruins your games. WOW arena died because of this crap, now you bring it here. Game is garbage now.

I feel like role queue has injected new life into the game. People are far far less toxic. People are more easily able to play heroes they want to play. The teams are better balanced, and consequently, fewer smashings on both sides.

There is alot of merit to Role Q.
There is no longer 4 Mercy main in the same team.
And there is always a 2nd healer, so heroes like Brig are more viable.

Are we playing the same game? Every match for me is you need to play shield, you need to play this support. Only get dps once every 30 matches unless I really want to waste an hour sitting in queue.

Absolutely agree. Role q is killing this game:
- Role q times for dps and support are way too long
- Can’t play triple dps or triple tank, or even triple support, when they are viable comps.
- Massive SR swings in games at higher ranks, especially for tank players. 1 minute queue, just to get into a game with my team’s average SR being 500 below me.

Waw, i feel like that’s the exact opposite. Game are unbalanced.
Teams are even more toxic, players are throwing for nothing. Yesterday, i played with a tank who decided to throw because the other tank didn’t play shield tank. There was no bastion, i was playing Reaper and other dps was playing pharah.
As a dps player, i often feel like the other dps are WAY better than me.
AND There are a good number of support and tanks in QP classic. Mirrors 2-2-2 games are common. We lack support and tanks in comp, turn out they’re running away from role queue because they feel trapped in their role.

Role q makes the game playable to me. I hated the game pre role q. It was absolutely unbearable to play and if it ever reverted back I’d delete the game in seconds.
The game would no longer be competitive and would go back to being Mediocre and not deserving of a competitive scene.
Cause its good to have dps in the game.
yes, lets have more 3 tanks 3 support cause we all loved that…

I dont know of any value 222 has added to the game, but I know of multiple problems, some quite severe, that 222 has added to the game

Well, since role lock, I haven’t had to beg my team to do something that wasn’t 5dps. I’d say there’s some value in that. Games, on average, have improved since role lock. It just exposed some balance problems that need to be fixed now.

Why when it’s doing such a good job of balancing out the roles?
They can put Role limit on tanks and healers instead. That way, you can’t run more than 2 tanks and 2 healers per team.
100% agree. And the 222 f’ing blows. I gave it a chance, but it’s time to find another game. Overwatch used to be fun prior to this dumbass idea.

You gave it a chance…as a dps I’m guessing.
Actually no, last 2 seasons I’ve been mainly playing tank. I’ve played Overwatch since vanilla, and it used to be fun. Yeah, there were problems, and sometimes you’d end up with a stupidly unbalanced team (1 tank, 5 dps, no healer) but the majority of the time your team was balanced yet you had the choice to adjust as game play demanded. Blizzard has crapped on that. My 2 cents.
Can’t say I disagree on that …wish we had 16 tanks to choose from…cuase I know tanks would use them all. Tanks swap hero’s more than any other role.
This. It’s funny how many people complained and took it to the forums about their teams having 3 tanks, or 5 DPS,…etc and how that made the game unplayable, less winnable, least fun… And now the complaint is about the exact opposite…
The OW forum is like Arkham Asylum, I swear…

Because soooo many people asked for it. People were tired of running into a team where 4 people were dps. or you only had 1 healer. or even no healer. DPS players were actually avoiding other DPS players they knew they were more than likely to match.
The old system “classic overwatch” was not the best, but it was better than role queue. I remember times where you needed that extra tank for more survivability so one of the DPS would switch. Those times were EVERYONE needed to get back to the point and FAST so everyone went somebody fast regardless of the comp to save the game. Or if a DPS would humble themselves and say “hey I cant kill that person” and they would offer to go tank while someone else took the DPS role. You know, those times where you went “ok ok ok , this isnt working, lets switch things up” and everybody swapped roles. Classic OW was by far better than 2 2 2 IMO.
