Why they did 5v5 and F2P in the same time?

General Discussion
1

F2P alone gave millions of new players to feed tank role.

2

They needed a reason to push the shop update.

F2P was 100% about monetization.

Tank & Support queue times were roughly the same in OW1 compared to how high DPS Queue Times were. Now that we have many new Tank & Support heroes, as well as reduced CC (should be reduced even more though), Queue Times should be good in 2-2-2.

It wouldn’t have made a difference. With the number of players increasing so does the demand for tanks and you can be sure those won’t be playing a role that feels like trash even back then.

Because they couldn’t solve other double tank issues such as META. They always chose the most stupid and easiest way to develop the game.
Back in the days when 2-2-2 had q time issue, it’s been said multiple times to go with role limitations instead of role lock. And now they do it “experimentally” with this "2 role picks max " and stuff like that. Imagine doing this instead of 2-2-2 in actual times… But noooo, what pepegas will do if they won’t be able to instalock their mercy otp? Who freaking cares? One pepega arrive, another left.
