Instead of nerfing entire classes to stop goats, why not just hard lock 2-2-2? Goats is only OP because it uses an extra healer and an extra tank, I honestly think if you locked 2-2-2 Brig would actually be underpowered as she’s never used as an actual healer.
It’s hard to get balance across the roles when the pros are using crazy compositions.
The problem with forcing people to play things they don’t want to play is that you can’t force them to play Overwatch
Yet nerfing an entire class does the same thing. It forces people onto other roles they don’t want to play.
I think locking 2-2-2 would kill the game, no?
hey, you can hardlock 2-2-2.
LFG. You can run whatever comp you want
Why? Because you wouldn’t be able to run 4-5 DPS anymore because people can’t flex to save their lives?
No it doesn’t. Tanks were OP. Tanks got nerfed. Tanks are now balanced. That does not force them to switch at all. 2-2-2 would literally force people to pick other roles than what they want.
This is really an upside-down argument. Currently people are forced to play what they don’t want to play. A DPS main joins a match, Goats is meta, they have to play tank. Support main joins a match, there are 4 other Support mains, they have to play DPS. Role Queue fixes that and lets you queue as whatever role you want.
No, you won’t play anything with role queue because matches will never be made. You will completely destroy the matchmaking system in addition to the player base. Supply and demand means there will never be enough tanks or supports to start a game.
You mean DPS mains will have a harder time finding a match because their supply is a lot larger than demand, which results in the desire and need for Role Queue?
2-2-2 was season 4 meta and I found that season the best season so I’d be fine with it.
Yes, the majority of the player base (“DPS mains”) will have trouble finding games, resulting in them quitting and playing other games. But that’s OK because all those DPS players are evil right? That is sound business logic that upper management at Blizzard is sure to approve of.
I only play LFG 2-2-2 hardlocked games now it takes longer but i know the game will be enjoyable will have a good chance and dont end up feeling annoyed at my team for going quad dps xD Would be good if a role queue was built straight into the match finder but i can get the games i want now so whatever.
Those who when they see the team already has more than a needed supply of DPS pick DPS, yes, they are absolutely evil. They could always select another role to shorten queue times.
And before you say “but then DPS mains don’t get to play what they want”
Nobody is forced to paly a role he doesn’t want EVER AGAIN if they implement role queue.
You pick the role you want to play before the game even starts and you get to play it 100% of the time.
Right now people complain all day long about having to play a role they don’t like so role queue would be a huge improvement on this.
Because people paid for this game, and are allowed to play what ever they want, however they want
Why don’t you people just LFG and stop acting like 222 is the only playable comp.
Those who when they see the team already has more than a needed supply of DPS pick DPS, yes, they are absolutely evil. They could always select another role to shorten queue times.
This may blow your mind but people aren’t evil for playing a video game or choosing certain characters in a video game. They play to have fun and they have fun by choosing DPS characters. If they can’t have fun that means it’s a badly designed game.
Every single meta other than 2-2-2 has been bad so far and everyone’s been complaining about it. So maybe that’s the thing we need.
Let’s face it. Nobody wants to have 5 dps on his team, nobody wants to have 4 support onetricks (anyone remember the mass high-rank mercy onetricks days?), one tank and one healer are absolutely mandatory, or you’ve lost the match on hero select, unless the enemy team is just as bad and they have the same issues.
I think 2-2-2 at this point is just a matter of time.
Competitive is not designed for fun and those who wanna have fun have quick play and many arcade modes and custom games to choose from. Those who queue for Competitive with the intention to do whatever they want instead of win as a team are absolutely evil.
Really now? From what I’ve understood, the whole game is designed to be fun.
