Role Lock in OWL

Oh Wow… Surprise… nearly everyone uses the same comps… its like limiting choices does not equate to more variety.

Maybe … BALANCE would help with more variety?

I mean, they were just saying that because it was the only counter argument. They did not genuinely believe it.

Did the OP get deleted or something? Because this response makes literally no sense. Like, did you post in the wrong thread?

I mean clearly he think what OWL does matters at all

It would seem that making all literature conform to sonnet form wasn’t going to provide the sort of variety and creativity that Mr. Kaplan claimed it would.

People are allowed to like things.
The point of the forums is to discuss ow related items, which owl is.

People were saying 2-2-2 would add more variety comps, it didn’t happen.

But it is happening, in the actual games in the ptr. Surprisingly, the 0.0000001% of the playerbase in OWL is not everyone

I dont know why people thought this would magically fix things. All this does is stop GOATs. Their bad balance will forever taint the game.

The discussion is not about the core game. It is about owl viewing experience.

Why is it so wrong for others to discuss the owl?

It could bring more variety if there was more than one viable comp in pro play.

It does pertain to the topic at hand. People claimed there would be a greater variety of compositions in OWL and, so far, no dice. It will stay that way too because there will still be a meta, as always.

I was pretty confident that when GOATS died, we’d be at double sniper.

I haven’t been able to watch OWL today. Is it double sniper?

I was actually fairly okah with what I saw this evening with the rollout.

I was happy to see Junkrat, Reaper, Mei, McCree all make appearances. It bought a nice bit of spice to the mix.

What brought it down was the Hanzo-Widow, which is the combo I knew was going to become prevalent the instant Role Lock was announced as 2-2-2. The rounds where it wasn’t really present were a lot more enjoyable to watch.

The ability to one-shot 85% of the roster will trump every other DPS almost every time. It really needs to be changed, honestly. Just like GOATs, I’m not interested in seeing the same two characters cemented in the DPS role.

I don’t know what the change needs to be, but something has to give on snipers in this game, it really does. Hopefully, Blizzard has an adjustment or two planned we haven’t seen.

Technically triple sniper if you count ana lol.

But yes, double sniper and bunker for the most part. Orisa on every team.

Ah.

Welp. :frowning:

Hopefully they nerf Widowmaker soon

It makes sense. Goats became an issue to counter double sniper. Doing nothing about it while making goats impossible to play? Of course double sniper would come back.

No variety whatsoever anymore. Not even OWL.
