That’s fine. I don’t agree with the people that hate on role queue but you have a right to your opinion. As long as we stick to the issues and not get into personal attacks I even enjoy debating the merits of various game design issues, including role queue, so it’s good for me if people with contrary opinions are posting.
I just find the constant new forum accounts all saying the same thing… well… curious.
I might mention by the way… that Blizzard can easily survey 1000 or 5000 people with a pop-up dialogue in game or an e-mail to active users or whatever, and probably have done so.
They aren’t going to be fooled about the opinion rates by a handful of sock-puppet accounts.
I completely agree. Sometimes it’s necessary to triple tank when the enemy team is running heavy DPS, like a Bastion/Symm or Bastion/Reaper combo. Or 3 healers/2 heals and a support, etc. Especially if the role that your teammates qued is not doing well that game. It puts way more stress into Comp when this happens.
I reallyyyyyy don’t understand why this isn’t just an optional gamemode, with a separate Ranking system. Forcing players to play just the role they’ve qued for is going to really make this game unfun. The POINT of OW is to switch characters and have the advantage - or disadvantage - of an uneven team. Nothing is more rewarding than swapping roles with a teammate and winning.
I know it’s recommended, but to force that is nonsense. If a team wants to go 4 DPS, then let them be punished if it doesn’t work. But that should be the team’s decision.
If ANYTHING, have the role pool open to two roles you can choose from, not one. That way if someone’s aim just isn’t cutting it, and you qued DPS and Heals, you can swap off and not suffer a loss because your teammates can’t hit anything.
Sure. Balanced isn’t always the way to go. I’m not claiming it is always the best.
It’s just the only option now.
I think it’s great that compositions like GOATS cannot work anymore. The limitations encourage more diversity in my opinion.
They did and do actually. Especially on ladder.
Pointing to the top 1% of organized play and saying “it doesn’t mean jack in OW” is pretty shortsighted to be honest.
Yeah. So does this entire role que system, lol. Again, make it an optional game mode with a separate rank system, that way you please everyone.
I’m saying that a mandatory 2/2/2 comp undermines the entire system, because the original system was pick whatever you want, but 2/2/2 is recommended.
Forcing EVERY single OW player to do this is nonsense and takes away the game for me. I’m a support main, too! I had more frustration with this role que system than I did before it!
And I meant, either A) Make it a separate game mode, keeping the 2/2/2 lock with the now current ranking system, or B) Figure out a way to be able to swap roles from the two you choose from. Maybe make it to where to have to pay the credits you earned from matches to swap. The more you play, the more you can swap. I don;t know, Blizz is crafty, they can think of a way to average out an SR from two different roles.
Hog is literally the best DPS in the game outside of snipers and flankers… And he is in the tank slot. Well… Actually, maybe people are onto Mei now. You get my point. Same with Zen. A team with Hog and Zen will run over “balanced” comps all the time.
Not even, again. This is not a long term fix for the game but just another way it will be buried. I encountered something similar in League but at least there I could solo carry regardless.
