Heard this idea in a stream yesterday, and I thought it was wonderful. In short, you would just divide the already existing roles into 2 each, like this:
Main tank: Orisa, Reinhardt, Sigma, Winston, Wrecking Ball
Off tank: D.Va, Roadhog, Zarya
Hitscan DPS: Ashe, Bastion, McCree, Reaper, Soldier: 76, Sombra, Tracer, Widowmaker
Projectile DPS: Doomfist, Genji, Hanzo, Junkrat, Mei, Pharah, Symmetra, Torbjörn
Main support: Baptiste, Lúcio, Mercy
Off/flex support: Ana, Brigitte, Moira, Zenyatta
I wouldn’t immediately divide the DPS role due to DPS players already having long queues, and I don’t think dividing supports would actually do anything huge, but the main point here is tanks.
Right now, double barrier is meta, and fights are A LOT longer. I think dividing the tanks into Main and Off roles would massively affect how enjoyable the fights are.
Your thoughts?
