I can lock in Mantis in half a second with my eyes closed and I will continue to do so.
So not that I’m defending main character syndrome some DPS players definitely have, and I’m all for more healers. I play a lot of Cloak and Dagger myself. But if you want to play DPS sometimes you gotta kinda instalock. I don’t like it either, but it kinda just is. Sometimes I want to play Scarlet Witch or Magik, but if I wait to lock in, I’m def playing healer. Mind you if we only end up with one healer, I’ll switch off my DPS and go to healer. But that’s the case with why people insta lock DPS sometimes.
Making more dps characters than supports and tanks combined will have that effect.
I will pick rocket and rocket alone
If someone steals this precious not raccoon i will defeatedly pick dagger
I feel so targeted 😂 but I’m a healer, not a DPS so I guess it’s ok, isn’t it ?
This isn’t the fault of the players tbh. Maybe the devs shouldve made more vanguards and strategists. Launching the game with 18 duellists was a strange decision. It’s a mistake overwatch made and is still paying for to this day.
Some people’s favourite heroes are Spider-Man, Wolverine, Black Widow and other DPS characters. Maybe their favourite play style is a specific DPS hero. If there were more characters in other roles them the chance people will play those roles dramatically increases.
I don’t currently play much vanguard, but if Emma Frost ends up in the game as a vanguard, I’m afraid I’ll be one of those insta-lockers 😆
I don’t even mind if someone insta-locks DPS as long as they’re good and smart. It’s when someone insta-locks, proceeds to go 1-7 then refuses to make any adjustments that annoys me.
Insta-lock dps. Go 0-14. Call everyone else trash.
You realize if we don’t instalock the hero we want, we will be stuck playing Vanguard 100% of the time.
honestly there’s nothing wrong with instalocking, no matter the role. It’s part of the game. However, don’t pick a duelist if you see there’s already 3 of them in the team😭
-Starts the game
-instalocks jeff
-no one complains
-eveeyone says thank you Jeff ,
-starts wigging my tail
-closes the game
As a strategist player who has no desire to play dps, please one of you dpses just go tank and we’re good… My nightmare is in fact having to play dps
I am instalocking mantis or Luna every game. If you play with me you’ll never not have a GM healer💪
I instalock on any character I know how to use we are not the same
I am sorry. I played Overwatch for 6 years, thousands of hours. I flexed, played Lucio, Ana, Rein, Diva, Winston and all the supports and tanks. I want to play dps now.
Why does every hero shooter make the core mistake of having way too many dps characters?
I understood that reference
Sorry for auto pick healer. 90% of times im the only one… Then i swap dps… “not my problem”
“It’s QP, let people play what they want”
Okay, no problem. Then let me leave a QP game without penalty.
Was on a 3 game skid in gold 2 have been letting people Insta duelist and going strange/groot/mags. Can’t get any. Push or pressure or pocket heals. 4-8 Helas, 0-6 Bucky…I don’t thunk it’s me. I’m peeling and trying to make space best I can.
Get fed up and lock Punisher next game and destroy the lobby.
I’m insta locking dps until I hit my ceiling fuck it.
I dont blame insta lockers who want their main in a game, i blame insta lockers who dont care about anyone else on the team and still pick it even after having 3 or 4 of the same role (only happened to dps and 2 times supps)
I’m starting to change my mind on this. If NetEase wanted people to play Vanguard & Strategist, they should make more. But if they’re gonna keep doing 90% Duelists, then that’s how this game’s gonna be. Blame them.
I instalock Jeff, and I will not stop.
Being serious for a moment, w.r.t. the instalock DPS problem, I wonder if the problem would be smaller if there weren’t 2-3 DPS characters for every tank or healer. I kinda wish they’d spread that out a bit more.
Me with Luna Snow and I am not sorry
I just hate it when you see 4 people instant lock all dps, leaving either 1 or 2 healers and maybe a tank to fill. Sure, it’s up, but that doesn’t mean i want to just throw like damn. At this point, I’d rather see roles locked at 3 for qp as it’s so annoying when it happens.
The funny thing is that if you heal on the first phase and decide to go dps for second phase, they’ll get very pissy about you swapping.
They insta-lock and then try to demand which supports/tanks everyone else plays as to help their team bonuses. It’s infuriating.
This is why people need to learn to expand and adapt. They just only want one specific character which makes no sense for this game.
Me and groot ♥️

I play cap… Until the team needs a healer, then i play adam and nobody protects me. Like seriously i was healing a venom and got jumped by a mantis, did the venom turn around? Nope, then i died and complained im not healing him.
