To each his own, the 2-2-2 lock has me enjoying the game even more! I really really REALLY hated playing in teams with 4 DPS who won't switch.

Yeah great fun alright when a game is starting off and 3 of the team are screaming at the others for not "DO GOAT, DO GOAT, GOAT TEAM, GO GOAT, MERCY?!!?!?!?! GO LUCIO FOR GOAT/?!!!!1 BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GOAT OR WE LOSE, I'M NOT PLAYING A NON GOAT GAME"

I might actually check back in with OW when the game has some balance on teams.... and some balance on tilted players who quit @The character selection point of a game.

My issue comes from the fact I can't switch per round and especially per map, I don't know what map we are on. I am good on Orisa on the russian map on defence but suck on tank on attack, but I'm stuck as a tank. I'm dead weight as a tank on Nepal, I don't know we are on Nepal until it loads. My games never had goat, it's a pro/high level issue and they did this for pro, that issue didn't exist for me (plat to gold) and all the 2-2-2 thing as done is restrict what you can do, switch on the fly to better suit the needs of the team, what they originally intended for the game. Why it's in Quick play is beyond me, so much for 'quick', I don't give a crap about 6 Dps in quickplay it's there for fun, not to be 'competitive'.

The best thing they can add is if they allow those in a group to swap their roles mid game as long as you stick to the 2-2-2 thing so at least when I play with my mate we can switch when one is better suited for a job than the other. All I think it wil do is encourage one-tricks.

Oh wow I didn't know it was going into quick play as well that is kinda daft, although I know a few people who only play quick play because they don't like the"stress" of ranked but this would allow them play ow the way it was meant to be played.

The worst thing about these measures is they exist because it's a proven fact now that the best team setup is that shit with just tanks and healers which means that rather than being able to actually combat that setup they've gone heavy handed to try and pretend that isn't the case, to force teams to bring 2 DPS in an attempt to make the game more exciting to watch because watching two goats fight is far more fun irl than in overwatch.
