I guess the developers didn’t understand the game either when they brought in forced role ques since the biggest part of Overwatch has and always will be SWITCHING.

RIght and not picking up the slack.
Each role provides answer in itself.

BTW: If you don’t adapt you will drop to a rank where it doesn’t matter.
If you don’t underperfom you will maintain your rank or even climb

You can still switch, just learn to switch to what will give you an advantage within your chosen role.

You’re playing tank against:

  • Widow: use Dive or Double shields, she will be useless
  • Doomfist: use Orisa/Hog, easy kills on him

You’re playing support against:

  • Widow: use Ana, Baptiste, Mercy, Brig or even Zen, you will be able to deny her or to avoid her easily.
  • Doomfist: use Lucio, Moira (to avoid him) or Ana to sleep him. Mercy can also work if you’re good but Baptiste and Zen are free meat for him.

See? You can also counter annoying enemies.
Think twice next time before blaming your allies.

when your tank doesnt switch to counter :confused:
a hamster can easily open a shield comp for flanking so you actually dont need your dps to mirror the enemy dps

Or go Lucio and slap her around until she leaves the game

Lmao that’s like saying to a swimmer “You can still swim, just learn to swim with your other leg harder” when a ball n chain has been attached to them. Like yea I COULD do that but you COULD also just unlock my leg in the first place???

i mean how was this any different from before 222? at least now i actually have tanks to play around as support
before 222 i actually couldnt even switch from healers that could solo heal, at least now i can switch more between them

Then, I could have switched myself to kill them.

You Sir, you are part of the reason why we need 2-2-2

Oh great we had 3DPS comp, now our tank switched to DPS because “I can do it better” and we left with no tank.
You create a big gap by switching off from a role and don’t tell me you traded your role, because this happens never (well the number is close to 0 that we can also say its 0)

Have you tried swapping your DPS to Mei or Junkrat? If he gets frozen or in a trap, he’s a free lunch.

i wrote it wrong letme chanhe it

Oh, that IS more clear. Yeah. I mean… if you have problems, there’s normally a character from any role that can counter anything done wrong, even if not quite as easily as another role. With minor exception.

2-2-2 will only work when there are much more heroes in each role. If the tank and support has options to switch to for counter play than it’s ok.

Almost always when someone switched to a 3rd DPS, they just made everything worse because that wasn’t the problem anyway and/or the team was now down a tank or healer.

yeah if you were another dps, if you were the only healer you couldn’t which is what i meant:

prior to 222 switching would mean thered be no healers. stop making it like 222 made this into a problem when this has existed before: dps have so much a bigger roster they take a lot more roles that supports/tanks don’t have. we need barrier busting supports, we need more tanks that can deal with long range threats etc

this. but the problem op is stating doesn’t stem from 222, yes it limits role switching but it didn’t make the problem of the fact that supports and tanks are so few that even if you add the two roster it’s barely half of the dps roster :confused: we really need more tanks and supports that do other roles

No, it’s just playing your position. People have this weird idea that they only way to deal with something is by switching to a completely different role rather than just learn how to deal with it with the heroes within that role.
