it is imo certainly far better than the alternative - ie playing 222 mode matches - but because there are many differences between the 222 mode and role-less queue mode aside from the necessary queuing differences, the one really isnt a direct substitute for the other
LFG is not nor has it ever been broken, actually
It works perfectly
I hear this stated often as an argument in favor of 222, but I never understand how this favors 222
The word “balanced” conveys positivity in a very general sense, but the game of Overwatch does not require balance in the sense that 222 forces on the players. Said another way, there is no evidence I know of that proves that 222 is the best available arrangement, and indeed, I have seen 222 teams beaten easily by so-called “unbalanced” teams, including but not limited to 6 dps teams
as such, I dont see the claim of “balanced” as relevant to the discussion of whether 222 is a good thing or not.
