No more otp, if two players pick your role, you can’t play your hero, which greatly discourages otp
No more queue time issues, everyone queues for the same thing.
No more op tanks, making the game balanced, fun, and fair again.
And you can’t complain about role diff "tank diff, dps diff, or healer diff " because you could potentially switch to that role or ask to play it
This mode is so cool
Someone briefly plz explain how the mode works in terms of hero/role selection?
I believe it’s restricted to a max of two people playing a hero of any role? So maximum 2 tanks on a team, 2 dps on a team, or 2 supports on a team.
If i dont get my heros, i just wont play. It surely doesnt encurage me to play tank. I have the option not to play in that case
That’s horrific, Post Malone. We should never test this, ever again. Instead, let’s test a mode that encourages our humble yet totally more skilled than everyone else OTPs to safely participate.

This is just the Openque/non roleque health changes. From my knowledge tanks didn’t get balance changes around that.
Just you can’t stack three of them, or just end up with a 4 stack dps slop is the only real difference.
I wonder how people will feel about it. I personally like knowing what role I’m going to play when I queue up, but I’m willing to concede something like that for sake of a healthy game. I just won’t play if I’m feeling particularly like only playing one role
That will definitely help the health of the game…
This just sounds like a lot of people haven’t played open queue in ow2, where it was quite common to have 2/1/2.
That is until someone else selects tank (which simultaneously makes it so that someone more competent at tank is not allowed to select the role) and we still lose. I have a feeling I will get blamed plenty. Ain’t too much change.
Yeah tanks are definitely still OP. There’s a reason the top500 meta in OQ has been 4-0-1 or 3-0-2 since OW2 came out.
Limiting it to 2 doesnt make them less broken, it just clamps the absurdity a bit.
Your OQ games had DPS in it?
In qp, yes quite often. Comp is another story.
Fair enough
Honestly it should have been max of 3, minimum of 1. Max of two is basically no different than current limitation except you don’t get to choose your role.
At least with max of 3 its not as hard to get the role you want.
I’m talking about role queue
I’m having a blast myself, but I’m a guy whose favourite characters are kinda spread out among the roles. I also suspect that most people are like yourself, so I think the only existing cards that have to worry about this Limit Two mode are the current OQ QP/Comp ones. My initial impressions are that I’d love to try out this mode as a Comp version, because current OQ Comp is a bit too much of a tank fiesta. Two tanks max, imo. Tri-tank is meh and quad tank is a firm but polite “no”.
I don’t think OTPs have anything to fear from this mode because they’ll just insta-lock their character like usual and be on their way. Which is fine. As long as they don’t order me to switch to characters they want to see, then they’re free to OTP to their heart’s content as far as I’m concerned.
And then the leaver penatlies hit. Let us know how that works out
press (X) to doubt
If ppl can’t get to play what they want, they will just stop playing.
Idk about fixing everything, but the one match I did play of this was very chaotic but not a stomp. My team had the basic one tank two of the others, while the enemy had 2 tanks and 1 support. Was quite close, pushed the cart all the way to third point Gibraltar. The chaos of this strange match up was weirdly nostalgic of overwatch 1!
