Just in time for the role restrictions so you can't have as much fun as you used to. :P

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.

OT: I'll, of course, get it for my Switch, it'll be practical for a few games while I'm on the go but I think at home, I'll mostly play on PC still.



Signature goes here!

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.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Playing a DPS? In ranked overwatch????? That isn't GOATtastic, are you trying to throw bro? (I was going to do a /s after this.... but it's more a /moron really, not sarcasm)

If you've not heard the term you're lucky if you care to read about the meta play of how ranked has to go at higher levels, get ready for tanks and support baby.

It is nice that it supports Gyro aiming, I'll give it that.

Even though the game's not for me, it makes me happy that motion controls in FPS games remain alive and well thanks to the Switch.

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.

Tempted to pick this up tbh
Really enjoyed it on PC despite being ass with kb+m
But with gyro I might actually be quite good, I mean I do have 2500+ hours in Splatoon 2 and ranked inside the top 2500 players last month



Poor port job if it's only going to be 30fps. Overwatch is very well optimized game and runs well on low-spec PC's, they should easily be able to get it running at 60fps. But they're targeting 30fps and not even 1080p at that.

Yeah I mean Paladins released a while back on Switch an runs at 60fps. Overwatch has no excuse. I mean the Witcher 3 is a far more difficult port and it runs at the same frame rate as the PS4 and XB1 versions of the game. There are some really low spec PCs that can hit 60fps with Overwatch. Seems like substandard port. No cross play either. What is even the point?

 Popularity of the game has taken a fairly large downturn on the PC and I'm guessing blizzard are trying to turn that around but really a port like this if the 30fps makes it to retail isn't going to win over a huge load of new fans, if people want a 30fps popular shooter on the Switch you got Fortnite, if you want a good overwatch style game running at 60 you have paladins on there.
