I’m a diamond flex and I can play well with most of the heroes on the roster.
While this 222 does not affect me much, I do feel that 222 isn’t going to do much. The 2 tank slot itself feels weird as there are main tanks, offtanks and hog mains. As well as 2 support slots, there is offsupport which brings utility into the fight (which is why mery moira combo does not work well on higher ranks)… and brig mains…
In terms of balancing, unless we want to play cookiecutter heroes instead of 30 unique heroes then 222 will work, basically we will just have 3 types/classes of heroes.
222 is to stop the unfun from solo tank or support. It’s too much importance to just one player that can be focused down. People suggested role queue to devs because of it and it ended up being 222 role lock because of separate SR and easier balance.
I can take losing with proper team composition much better than trying to solo tank/heal a bunch of clowns just to lose anyways. You might care about the result, I care about my experience.
No one wants 2-2-2 because they think they’ll win more, they want it because they’re fed up being the ‘bigger guy’ just to get cucked over and over. It just demotivates people so much when half of your team don’t give a flying duck whether they’re running a train wreck of a comp or not.
I think there should be one role per player. Whatever role that player wants. I never said I want 4-1-1 lock. Did I? What I want is freedom. Freedom to do what I want and the same freedom for everyone else.
This is the fundamental difference between those who want a lock and those who don’t.
I want the freedom to. You all want the freedom from.
Do you even play Support or Tank?
How do you feel about solo healer or tank?
I don’t mind solo Tank, but I know I really don’t like solo healing to a point that I don’t like when my team has a solo healer because I’ve been through it and it’s not fun.
So I agree with Jeffs’ conclusion, it needs to be at least 2 per role to make the game experience more fun to everyone. (Locked or not imo).
I ONLY solo heal when I’m on a duo, when I’m 100% confident someone can peel for me when I need it. Else if I’m playing solo I’ll just go add into the stupidity and play DPS or tank. Solo tanking is kinda better if you play Winston or Hammond since it means your team actually deals insane DPS/pressure while having the necessary mobility to survive without much healing. Solo tanking as Rein is stupid. Solo tanking as Orisa is doable.
Brig is CERTAINLY getting changed in some form if 2-2-2 role lock becomes a reality. Brig is just trash as a support in a 2 healers setup, regardless of there being a main tank or not.
One of the benefits that comes with 2-2-2 is easiee balancing.
Oh aren’t you clever! Now my only options are to not reply and make it seem like I don’t have anything coherent or reply with reasoning and logic like I’ve been doing and have it shot down by you as incoherent.
