Bring back Comp Classic

I don’t know about you guys - but I miss the days when my score was determined by my ability to play any character, as opposed to how good I am with a specific class.

I’m so tired of not being able to support and switch with team members in order to help win the game. It’s frustratingly tragic to watch my SR tank because I’m stuck with either Support or Tanking because the DPS queue is far too long for waiting time.

I recall a long time ago that I was able to make semi-decent gains solo queueing. And by no means am I an amazing player - but it felt good playing back then. Now it just feels like I have a choice between which flavour of losing I get.

It just feels so unfun these days to play Comp. Don’t know if anyone else feels the same way :frowning:

We’re halfway into the season and you’ve barely played any ranked past your placement matches, what are you talking about?
With the old system, someone would pick up your slack, with 222 it’s up to you to carry your own weight with the class you’re playing.
Get good.

I get that 2/2/2 is limitating for some players and this game mode could in theory be good for those people. But in reality, people woulnt take it that seriously, because the meta would be really diferent from what you would play. Also with the current dps q times it would be a way for them to not wait that long and you could have 6 dps players on your team most of the time.

Play qpc problem solved.

comp will not get a classic mode because they are balancing around 222.

as for switching? Yeah i’m sure all the dps players would love 3+ dps clown fiestas back again

I don’t see any problem with adding the mode to the arcade, just like QPC. I mean, I would probably wreck in that mode with my godlike Torbjörn since everyone would be braindead dps players running around cluelessly.

@WhoFedZarya - Thank you for atleast entertaining the idea of having the option instead of freaking out and saying I suck :slight_smile:

To the rest-
To add further context, I try to play a mix of everything, not just damage specifically. My main complaint is not being able to switch out. I’m a little disheartened by the notion that players can’t be trusted to work as a team when the whole damn game is about teamwork. I usually do my best to talk on chat and work with others. But lately it feels like a free for all.

I mean, I get your points, and I completely sympathize that it allows less-good players to unauthentically rank up, but I just want the option to have classic comp. I get also that the game is being balanced for 222, but I feel like that’s the trade-off. Saying “play qpc, problem solved” is just as lame because people don’t take it seriously. There needs to be the sweet spot where the “wild mode” players can do non-222, and those who want to role queue can continue without. Atleast for me anyway.

The types of people in QPC are those who were previously in QP not taking it seriously.

They’re exactly the type of people we don’t want back in our games. If you want to take the game seriously, work as a team etc, go Comp or QP with RQ as that’s what you’ll get.

if you want non-222, your only option is LAN

Video games are serious business >:( REEEEE

I remember one of the matches i was in when they introduced 2-2-2, and a tank was insulting our Lucio. Tank said he could do a better job at Lucio, and so the healer agreed to switch roles. Was funny for the rest of us, but became a little awkward when they realised they were role locked.

They can always do comp classic in Arcade. But they probably won’t because people play that instead of communism comp.

absolutly, we players t hat used to swap for counterpicking - we are suffering the most. Because blizzard and the playerbase did not acknowledge what we did. Instead they listened to people that barely play the game, people that main 1 char and never swap. From the perspective to main one hero, 222 is good, but its not practical at all. This game is more than 1 way to play.

xD <3 (it must be 20 character -.-)

Normal comp is not communism, get over yourself, flagged.

Oh look, I found an irrelevant opinion of somebody who clearly has no idea what they are talking about.

Majority of the game has had a positive response to role q as per the data directly from the devs themselves, get over yourself already.

No real classic comp would be no limits comp like in the good old days of overwatch, because THAT guarantees real flexability for you all so you can even pick a second genji if the first one isnt performing so well!

The game are totaly dead and blizzard left it like that too.
