Learn to Tank and Support. Only solution that is viable, but I already mostly Support and sometimes Tank. When I do DPS, queues tend to only be about 6 min +/-
This is where I disagree. I play significantly more since the 2-2-2 was added. I have a lot more fun and it will keep me around longer. And I see it posted and hear the same from others. So, while yes the wait time is not a great thing, on balance, it is still far better than it was before.
Plus, if you like the old style there is quick play classic.
No, no, no. To make those changes would require a significant overhaul to the point you could just make new characters. It would also frustrate people who play them. And switching a dps hero to tank/support is more likely just to have dps player switch to using a different dps, it wont increase the number of tank/support players.
Give supports and tanks game play Feedback that lets them know what they do matters.
This game is horrible with player feedback if you aren’t a DPS
Hello
I was a dva mercy main
Then a mercy main after they put the missiles into dva
Then a sombra main when they destroyed mercy by heavy nerfs and she’s no longer fun by any means
How would I fix it?
I liked tank because they could tank stuff, that’s why I liked 400armor dva (oh and 4sec matrix)
I want tanks to TANK, not do a fat DPS
I don’t care if we get tons of armor and resistance, I wanna be in the Frontline without the need of backing up every 5sec
Maybe that’s why I also loved 1-3-2 tanks, but not as solo tank
Let me explain
1-3-2 tanks could actually tank stuff, so some sort of weaker version of them in the 2-2-2 role queue would absolutely make me want to play tank
Like, idk… 450hp Zarya with 2 charges on bubble instead of 500hp with barriers to everyone around 8m
Now as for healer
I’ve always loved the classic healer of the beam
Problem? Mercy sucks
She’s not fun compared to her original state of mass Rez, she just exists, tries her best to heal, but fails at it
Is a main healer incapable of providing enough heals to the team
So as soon as they give me 60hp/s heals and… Anything else… I take it… I’m back to mercy
But until that, I’ll play sombra, I think she’s very fun to play as, I might learn echo and doom too, who knows

If we have more tanks and supports players, dps queue will be fixed
So make other roles more fun, that’s it
OR
Increase team members to 7 (2-3-2)
The vocal portion of the fanbase is not a good indicator for general sentiment. There’s always going to be a larger silent majority. Not to mention places like forums are really not a good place to assess feedback. Idk about other places, but there are a lot of support and tank players on these forums, they probably compromise the majority, so obviously you will mostly see good things posted about 2-2-2 here.
I play almost exclusively damage. And I think it is a wonderful addition. And I have seen it from the forums and in game from people of all rolls. Maybe there is a massive group out there that thinks the opposite. But I really, really doubt it. I have not seen any evidence that the general public is more bothered by the wait times than the were by the lower quality games in the past. Everything I have seen says the larger number are on the same page as myself.
I personally love getting into the game and knowing that I will have heals and I will have tanks and chances are I will get to play the hero I want. It is well worth the wait for the higher quality games.
i think both role lock and no role lock have their issues and i don’t think neither is something we should settle for if it isn’t working well, if qeueu times are high, above 10min for any single role, there needs to be some serious investigation and some real problem solving happening.
i didn’t like pre-role lock because of the lack of tanks, and i don’t like post role lock because of the lack of tanks.
either we have to learn to play with less tanks in a composition or they have to fix the tank issue.
to say there’s no problem with current overwatch is being willfully ignorant about its issues.
Force DPS into Tank / Support roles, like a TSA line, you are selected randomly into another role. You leave, you are forbidden to queue until that game ends.
You will conform.
I created a survey like post for feedback in hopes it helps blizz.
Most players want and believe that adding more heroes to both tank and support will resolve the issues.
Players also believe that tanks and support should feel more unqiue.
if we leave 222 for 141 or 132, than tanks and support should be adjusted accordly.
So summary: Balance heroes roster and add more tanks and supports. Balance current heros accordingly and make healers / tanks much more unqiue to play.
Also lastly, ADjust the cc in the game. Maybe introducing somekind of tenacity or heroes with cc immunity buffs or in their kit etc.
Change the matchmaker.
It is throwing away fair fights, especially in the rank where they are few players.
All heros on Ow2 on realese must be supoort and tanks, then a steady diet of 1 dps to every 2 tanks and supports until everything is even then do 1 of each
Non, I do not see queue times as a problem.
all heroes are interesting, the problem is that they are not dps
the solution is picking other role XD, that will give other people to play dps more, cause the real dps will be on other role

Make a sandwich, or 2.
Other than that? Add more Tanks or Supports.
But seeing that most of the addition to those roles have broke the game one way or another, it is gonna be a very long waiting time.
Rotating role ratios. 1-3-2 for a week, 2-2-2 for a week, 1-2-3 for a week, and so on.
LOL, I mean if queue times are that bad there is one solution I know of that will work but it is super dirty.
Charge people to be in a private queue. This would in theory shorten queue times but you can probably see way it is a bad idea.
u know what? there are more dps players than other roles, thats why we have long search times, there are people who refused to change role, and what i say? fine, uninstall and play paladins
right now, real problem is add other dps
