that’s a horrible thing to say.
This 1-3-2 alters your language understanding instead. Do you think that with “now” I mean this right moment, this day? Please… It’s so easy to understand: now (with the current weekly patch) they collect data and with the next 1-3-2 I want to see balance changes… is it so difficult?
I agree. Although it doesn’t seem like a lot, buffs and nerfs usually take weeks for blizzard. This mode obviously took them a long time, and with a few developer update videos from Jeff it seems pretty final.
1-3-2 sucks. 4 years into Overwatch and it becomes a glorified Call of Duty game. It was fun while it lasted…

It’s funny because when 2-2-2 came out and dps and flex players were worried or dismayed by the queue times the forums was filled with tank and support players saying ‘hahaha you deserve it makes me so happy etc’. For like literal months. And now 1-3-2 gets put into experimental and is highly unlikely to make it to the main game and people are already losing their minds crying it’s the end of times etc. But I haven’t even seen a dps post gloating over tanks or supports for this change.
Says a lot about who has a toxic mindset in the forums.
But also. Dpsbad

Truthfully if 1/3/2 became a thing Tanks becoming raid bosses would be fun. Then supports would need buffs but not healing buffs. I think supports would need utility/self sustain buffs to make them more effective in 1/3/2 as there is less peels (since off tanks wouldn’t exist anymore).
I could only see 1/3/2 as viable if the 2 supports (together) had enough utility to counter play the incoming dps flanker/s. I think most support players like support for what utility they bring to the table.
So if Tanks became team defining raid bosses. DPS got much shorter queue times and could play more independent to their heroes strong suits. Supports gain improved utility or ability cool down reductions to help counter act multiple dps flankers and be more impactful. I could only then see 1/3/2 working for the whole community (except maybe off tank players since that role would be gone in 1/3/2)
this especially. i haven’t seen one of these yet.

did you just say rien, hog, zarya, and winston were nerfed by this? if anything zarya is TOO stong, rien and winston got straight buffed, literal dps increases, cd reductions, and hp buffs, the only one who got a *nerf was hogs damage because they gave him an extra 25% hook uptime. you got the whole squad laughing bro
dps use the fourm less than players of the other two roles, its fact. people are just always toxic lmao
i mean it wont but ok
Orisa, Sigma, D.Va, Hammond… half of them were better in the past. It’s not so good that you’ve found only 4 tanks that got real buffs (and nerfs). And none of them is a raid boss. They’re still pretty normal tanks, but they’re left alone this time, and nothing more.
Blizzard can’t seem to figure out how to fix the queue times for DPS - so whether or not Jeff states it won’t go live - it will go live - unless they can figure out something better.
In my 3 games of experimental I played as torb and didn’t cared about our tanks or supports just relocated my turret constantly and enemies had the misfortune of playing with Rein which is a guaranteed loss.
“Experimental” 132 is just a fancy name for qp classic with role lock, it’s exactly same chaotic games. In 222 at least I can rely on my offtank and supports, as in many cases you can’t rely at all on dps doing their jobs. Having 3 dps is just overkill.
wow, they didnt buff main tanks in the patch meant to make off tanks main tanks, whoda thunk it
rien and zarya are 100% raid bosses now. idk what you mean
Not really, I believe they stated that a change this big will not put in right away. Plus they said it will only be up for a few more days. Implying that they got the data they needed. If it was that quick I would assume it to be a no.
Even then, I am seeing more dislikes then likes for 1-3-2.
I’m a dps main, and I think it’s awful. I’ll take the longer queue time for 2-2-2 any day of the week over that hot garbage.

Why am I not surprised that this thread was created after Jeff said they probably won’t add it because of how negative the feedback has been?

Devs saying thei won’t do something is statistically speaking almost (if not actually) a better guarantee he’ll do it than their actual promises by this point.
According to what statistics exactly?
Most of the tanks got insane buffs for 1-3-2. And if they decide to push this farther they will get even more buffs. To say they are just pandering to dps is absurd. If other roles had to deal with the same queue timed they’d want something done about it too. Blizard are literally trying to make the game better for everyone. You can either offer constructive critism and be taken seriously or make up wild conspiracies and lose all credibility.
well now you can SOMEWHAT see what the people went through who was against 222…
i was against 222, i wanted them to leave 222 out of quickplay, leave quickplay alone…but sad day and 222 came for both comp/qp …oh well i still manage to have fun in this game 
but anywho, i guess now some of you guys can somewhat relate
