Yes...I actually do like 1-3-2

As a dps the game feels more like an fps and I’m able to play better with heroes that are more difficult in 2-2-2.

I thought tank would be horrible but I actually really like it. Jeff mentioned some of dev team liked the extra pressure solo tanking had and I kinda feel it too. This isn’t like solo tanking in pre-RQ because now I know exactly what to expect when I queue up. The changes to some of the tanks are really great too. Rein’s extra damage is feels nice but it’s a huge rush when you get nano with him and you become a raid boss. Zarya’s extra bubbles make her feel far more tanky. Hog’s new take-a-breather is nice too and D.Va might actually be op with a 4 second DM lol.

The worst part of 1-3-2 is being a support though. Without the presence of an off-tank, you lose a lot of protection. The extra dps slot makes you far more vulnerable to flankers. This makes playing Zen and Ana a nightmare. idk what balance changes could be made to make support more enjoyable that wouldn’t negatively impact the other roles as well. I’m not much of a support player so I can’t really offer much here.

Now I still do like 1-3-2 more and it’s possible there is some kinda honeymoon period with 1-3-2 rn. But so far it’s not the disaster I thought it would be and others claim it is.

Imagine if you could have most the benefits of 1-3-2, without the problems?

Yea as a Tank/Support main, I thought it was fun, but the buffs would have to be a bit further on the tanks and Some of the supports would need nerfs reverted for it to work. I just think it won’t have staying power as a true main mode. As an Arcade mode it should be fine.

I think extra balance should be made around tanks because then the solo tank might actually be really strong as they currently are. But wouldn’t the removal of the extra dps slot increase queue times again which kinda goes against what 1-3-2 was trying to solve?
