Hey guys I just want to hear your thoughts about about a role limit to open queue. Basically, just make it that open queue has a limit cap of 1 tank per team. I feel like this is all it really needs to balance it out and it’ll help queue times in general. If not they can just keep it as 1-2-2 limit as well. Thoughts?

That defeats the point of open queue

If you want role limits, then play RQ.

Nope, no thanks, keep your limits to role queue. Open queue should always, always, ALWAYS be open to whatever team composition people wanna play.

I want open queue to be as open as possible
I ALSO think it needs a 1 tank limit in a 5v5 world BECAUSE of what they are now

Bruuu don’t waste your time with these guys, they love crutching on stacking tanks for easy wins.
Limiting only one tank is for balance sake, its not like stacking 4 supports or 4 dps would break the mode compared to having even 2 tanks on the enemy team. Imagine having to face 3-4 tanks? At that point you are playing a tank simulator because dps will not exist due to how strong tanks are now.
That would be ok as long as there is No Limits in the arcade.
If you want role limits, then play Role Queue. Open Queue is open to be open.
The mode isn’t balanced, it’s not meant to be balanced and it will never be balanced, because Open Queue.

Tell me you don’t actually play open queue without telling me you don’t play open queue.
Open Queue is fun exactly because one game you might have 4 tanks on your team and the next game you might have 4 dps. It’s fun because you never know what you’re gonna get until it happens. You never know what the enemy is gonna throw at you until you see it. You don’t even know if the comp you each start with is the same comp you finish with. What made this game fun in the early days was the variablity of team comps. You know what isn’t fun? Knowing that every single match is gonna be the same damn thing. 1 tank. 2 dps. 2 supports. Big ol’ yawn.
And if that sort of variablity is not for you, cool. That’s why there’s role queue. And if you like even more variablity than that, then that’s why there’s no limits. And if you like variability and mystery, then that’s why we have mystery heroes.
There’s a mode for every type of player, and players will be happiest sticking to those modes. If you’re unhappy in your mode that’s unfortunate, but definitely doesn’t make sense to then go try to change a different mode to suit your desires. That’s not how it works. You wanted role restrictions, that comes at a cost of queue times. So you go play your rule restricted mode, I’ll play my semi-rule restricted mode, some other player will play in there fully unrestricted mode, and everyone’s happy. See how that works?
With how OP goats is in OW1, you’d think OQ was Goats every match, yet, I see goats like once a week if that. The reality is I’m playing 1-3-2 or 1-4-1 for 80% of the time. And the same thing will happen in OW2. Will there be some games with multiple tanks? Yes. But will there be other games with no tanks? Also yes. And the wonderful part is that either is totally cool. Because the people who play OQ because they love OQ, are in it for that exact experience. And the people who play OQ because they want to dodge RQ queue times, are the ones who will not be having a good time. Because they’re in the wrong mode. So go back to your mode. Endure your queue times. Leave OQ alone.

In fact, no need……
Win rate tells……2 tank 2 sup has the highest win rate, you should choose Rein if you are the only tank, and Baptiste is the only choice if you are the only sup.
If you didn’t want these fixed style, just tell blizzard to make 2 more Baptiste like sup, and make tanks that tanky but didn’t have shield will do.
