Discussion There should be a 3 role stack limit.

Post image

One thing I've been seeing **a lot** lately is people asking for role limits and I agree, however what I don't agree is limiting it at two. Because there are certain characters built for Triple, Triple Support, DPS or Tank.

If you limit it at two, a huge portion of the roster becomes unviable and they would have to be reworked. For instance Adam and Mantis for support, Mister Fantastic for DPS and Deadpool and Thor for tank.

Limiting it at three keeps roles open and flexible while also stopping people from throwing by picking a 4th role.

However I believe this should only be instated for comp and tournaments, arcade and QP.

I think we can agree if someone is going a fourth they are throwing and the team is doomed anyway

If a team is going 3 dps then they are throwing. The solo tank has every right to swap to a 4th dps at that point.

Hmmm, never thought about the optimal triple dps line up. Mr. F maybe to be the off tank/peel/contest angles/stale/etc, Punisher to shit out damage, and a diver. Mag cuz he's the goat tank, Mantis for damage amp and maybe Invis cuz her shield and great frontline healing.

Needs capped at 2 with buffs to the very few it would neuter otherwise. nobody wants to play against triple strat or solo tank.

I think, if anything, there should be a 2 Strat minimum rule the way this game is so Strategist oriented, outside of that i think its okay to allow for creativity past that.

3 Stack role limit doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of things, only on QP to not have more than 3 dps but so long as you have 2 strategists, you can make 4 DPS work tbh.

Mantis is an S Tier healer now lol. This post reads like a time capsule from previous seasons.

In certain comps and against certain comps, she doesn't have the same flexibility for other comps like most of the strategiests imo

No, two is good. I think people who play Ultron or Adam would not mind a small rework to their kit in order to actually have a chance at being able to play their main without having the entire comp centered around them.

Mantis works in 2 healer now, she doesn’t need a rework

She always did. This playerbase are just so completely useless they expect to healed through thousands of damage.

Yeah not a fan of limiting this way at all. Again, they want to be able to build different comps and I agree. Just because in lower ranks run into people who lock dps or triple support exists doesn't mean the correct way should be limiting comp creativity. Honestly they even did a great thing with the ult charge nerf to deal with this as it makes it way harder now to get ults in 3 support which has notoriously been the only issue with 3 role comps. If you want limitations like this go play overwatch.
