I’m trying to fill roles as much as I can but it’s hard when you are the only healer and the other team keeps targeting you (because they should) and no one helps out.
Tbh having 1/3/2 team isnt all that bad
I do think there should be some form of minimum 1 Tank, Dps, Healer.
I hate constantly having to be the one willing to flex support or tank for the team. I hated OW before they added role lock.
Completely agree with KarQ. I’m enjoying the game right now. I’m willing to play whatever the team needs, but its going to get old real fast
I think 1-4-1 can work, as can 1-3-2. But without at least 1 tank and 1 support per tank it just falls apart.
Minimum 1 per role is probably fine.
I just wish there was a tank that felt fun to me bc all the ones we have rn feel rly clunky or boring to me personally.
There are plenty of dps and supps that i find fun but the tanks are rly lacking imo which rly puts me off playing them. Especially as someone who’s favourite role in overwatch was tank.
Add role queue to ranked only. Quick matches aren’t meant to be the epicenter of balance.
I was Peni Parker with like 20 health and was fighting for my life for like 1.5 minutes. Not having a healer is painful.
Part of this issue is that there are so many more duelists than vanguards and strategists. The latter each need minimum 5 more heroes ASAP. Some thoughts.
Vanguard:
1) The Thing
2) Rhino
3) Doc Oc
4) Drax
5) She Hulk
Strategic
1) Prof X
2) Jean Grey
3) Invisible Woman
4) Agent Carter
5) Mysterio
A lot of people here who don’t know what they’re talking about trying to claim that role que “killed” OverWatch when role que was nothing but a positive from OverWatch. What “killed” the game was the long time between updates at the end of OverWatch 1’s life and then OverWatch 2 changes not being particularly great, the role que was only ever a positive for the game.
Spider-Man is my favorite comic book character. While I did get some games in as him, me and my buddy spent most of the 3-4 hours we played and tank and healer respectively, so we could have some chance to win. I like Hulk, it’s fine, but it would be cool to be able to play Spider-Man when I want, even if it means waiting longer in queue.
And how many of you are playing tank yourselves to be demanding such a thing lol
This game will need some sort of role lock, worst comes to worst they can have role queue and non role queue but the game will need it. The people talking about how no role queue is better because of Overwatch I don’t think have a clue of how bad it was for Overwatch 1 with GOATs. People want to play what they want to play which is fine but at least give them a chance to win games

Best games are when its 2/2/2 on both teams
The game is officially out for less than 24 hours and people are expecting modern OW’s level of coordination?
Let scrubs who refused to pick accordingly lose more in the long run. Time will figure it out
The freedom to move between roles killed my passion on OW
And having 6 dps shit annoying asf I always gotta fill cuz no one ever picks support or tank
First time ya’ll playing some kind of online role based game?
the amount of times on wow I would see “3dps looking fo rtank and healer” and when you looked up you would see they were a tank or healer capable class. So they could have just solved their own problem.
meanwhile, i just got to instaque as a tank for a lot of the higher level play
A soft role lock could work well I think
Yeah I know the devs try to push the roles don’t really matter. Yet in their play test streams, they all only used a “proper” composition, because anything else would fail badly.
As a Tank with no healer, I felt pretty useless.
The freedom of getting to choose whoever you want is NOT worth the unpleasantness of getting curbstomped because the enemy team decided to play a viable set of roles. Role queue is likely coming, and that’s fine.
Coming from paladins rather than overwatch, I personally don’t like role queue, and don’t think it’s necessary as long as hero’s are balanced properly.
This game has definitely attracted players who are new to the genre and are going to lock dps, but once those people learn the game, or leave, and the meta shakes out, it should be fine.
I think we shouldn’t treat this game like an esport.
I think role queue is not the best solution imo, I think having a limit on how many on each role would be better, like if your team have 3 duelist, you can’t pick a forth one.
Because yeah its fun to have open queue but I played 5 matches in a row as the only healer on my team, we lost all of them, having 5 damage or 4 damage and a tank is just not fun, I wanted to play Moon Knight 5 matches in a row and I couldn’t because we had 5 damage already so either I play healer or I don’t have one
I really haven’t had an issue yet tbh. I’m fortunate I suppose.
I think that’s part of the fun. Sure a full team of supports isn’t gonna go far, but neither will a full team of tanks nor DPS.
When it’s just QP, no role locking. Competitive, sure, 1 each.
Bare minimum, just give us separate game modes for Role Queue and Open Queue, like in Overwatch.
Noone likes playing support. Force them to!
Role queue saved Overwatch and will be healthy for this game, if not outright necessary.
Don’t need role lock queue, especially 222, need role max/limiters. 3 max per role which is really a limit to DPS and you’re golden. It’s really just about finding a way to prevent 4 or 5 duelist comps not about running 222 comps.

5 dps and not a single kill among them
I loved the Alpha and Beta.
That being said, this game is currently unplayable on solo queue. I play 3 matches with a balanced team against a team of 5 DMG / 1 Tank and it’s a blowout. Then I play 3 where I match with a team of all DMG and I’m the only heal or tank.
It’s broken. Bring a structured mode.
Blowout or being blown out isn’t fun. These games are about competition
I’m not gonna lie, this game been out 24 hours I don’t wanna hear any of y’all soon to be silver players telling everyone what competitive looks like. “Oh it should be locked to 2-2-2!” Calm tf down.
You know what happens when you lock the game to 2-2-2? The two best tanks with a team up, the two best supports that have a team up with them, and the two best DPS that have a team up with those 2. That’s all you’re gonna see, every game. The same 6 characters.
Role lock is the reason me and my friends stopped playing Overwatch. If they add role lock and start balancing the game around that, it will just be the same as Overwatch, who actually wants that?
Time to get out of the sub before you guys gaslight me into not liking the game anymore
Role queue for ranked, chaos for unranked
This isn’t hard
I strongly agree. They need to add a few more interesting healers to the roster.
Without a team comp it feels like a free for all instead of a team vs team match up.
I like playing as Baby Shark. I’m good with that
Hard disagree… the game is too dynamic to be locked into one roll. As a person whole plays almost the whole cast, I can pick what the team is lacking or needs mid match, or swap rolls? Or maybe do an extra tank or heal or dps and not be locked into 2/2/2.
