For as busted as people claims tanks are, its shocking open queue still consists of 4+ dps.
Wrong on both accounts.
I disagree. I loved 5 dps 1support or 6dps comps due to the speed of the games.
I should clarify that I don’t hate RQ. I just had more fun in 0-5-1 or 0-6-0 comps than in 2-2-2.
These are opinions, not facts.
You care to explain how? Because I can assure you, the general consensus on these forums is people blaming tanks for the cause of every meta ever and therefor they need to always be nerfed further into irrelevancy. And yet still dps has the longest queue time in ranked, while open queue is filled with even more dps players.
But you know what, you’re probably right. I’m wrong on both accounts because you said so.

Quite simply you are wrong. Also, 4 DPS are rare in open comp just as it always was.

Ok, so I was right. I’m wrong because you said so. Not because you have any substantial evidence to the contrary. Gotcha.
You’re delusional.

Do you have any evidence to back up your initial claim ? You started the argument.
I am playing it right now. So far I have yet to encounter a group with 4 DPS after about 15 games. It’s the same as old comp. People would claim the same thing. Talk about delusions.

You’re in a thread with a bunch of people talking about their own personal experience with how awful open queue is. You do realize that, right?
Yup, laziness…
You just overlooked one little problem there…
The fact that I could actually lock up a 2-2-2, which then eventually would put my group against another group that didn’t had it locked. And could just run GOATS and boom, my group falls apart because we got rolled by the best comp in the game and we couldn’t counter because the game didn’t have any structure to balance around.
So I can do three things there, create a group that is not locked. Which means trusting randoms to not tilt and stay on their roles or agree as a team on a certain comp. Highly unlikely seeing how pre 2-2-2 went.
I could create a group and lock 2-2-2 and just pray we don’t face any group that can create a busted comp because the lack of structure.
Or I could only play with a 6-stack and severely limit the time I could play.
It’s 2020 and people still see LFG as a solution…
You can’t have a competitive game with zero structure.
You need rules, you need a foundation to balance around.
Now I’m not saying 2-2-2 is the saviour of earth or something.
But it brought what the game needed, a base structure to balance the game around.
It brought structure to Overwatch, which it needed

If you are entering a competitive mode you BETTER be trying your hardest.
Played 15 games of open comp and had a great time! only 2 of those games had 3 dps, and both of those games we were playing into a Mei comp, where having 3 dps is actually beneficial. Honestly man idk why so many complain about open comp. It’s so much more fun.
For how busted tanks are its shocking no one wants to play them at all in RQ, oh wait a) They do not understand why, yet they scream for shields… you wonder how some of them even eat in the morning when they can not connect such easy dots… b) they are plain boring to play according most/stigma towards the role in general in about every single game ever made. No one likes to play tanks. Its gaming 101. c) Open queue is just a arcade mode with lower tick rate servers as well. It is not on the front screen and it has not been said if their will be regular seasons. Hence it is not being taken seriously.
Coz they are afraid blizzard will put it on the main screen as well and it will be more popular and acknowledged as the real overwatch again. That is basically 99,99% of what it is. Fear of being proven wrong.

I think the main reason is we just want to play the game without feeling forced to do a certain action,
I just wanna switch between roles freely it makes me feel in control

I dont really care. I just want some serious games. But non the less its a game. Deal with it.
You said that people claim Tanks are busted. That’s where you are wrong, IMHO. People do not claim that anymore. They think DPS are busted. I do too.
Also maybe you’ve had a bad experience in open comp. I did not.
Isn’t it great that everyone can now choose what they like ? Why do people fight, I just do not get it.
I was sceptical of role queue as soon as it was being mentioned potentially being added to the game. I felt like it would remove a lot of options for tank and support players and focus the game to catering for dps players, and well lets be honest it has. Tank player population has gone down by at least one (me) I can tell you that much. But with open comp I can finally play other heroes when needed. I’m finally playing D.va, Hog, Zarya, Ball, would be playing Rein if he wasn’t banned, again. I feel like 2/2/2 just forced all players to conform to maining just one role, killing off flex players.
Wow, something we agree on.

I play support mainly and favor it way more. It means I’m less of a healbot on tanks and more able to do other things.
Also Echo is less busted in open comp btw. 2/2/2 with her ultimate, means she will literally always be meta because she can change your team comp out of being 2/2/2 to either 3/1/2 or 2/1/3.
That is not a bad thing. I was one and now mainly a support/ tank player. Flex players did not really existed because they WANTED to flex. They just were people that where tired of 5 DPS comps and choose that want was wanted the most and tryied to help the team win. Mostly tank or support. It was a pain to be a flex player. You lose more SR with a loss and gained less SR with a win and you are mostly the person to blame. I was at that point. I am glad that I dont have to flex anymore.
