Over time, ratios could change of course, but I can queue as DPS and Support and get a healthy mix of all 3 roles. I take tank every time it's available which is like 1 or 2 out of every 10 games. That's about as much as I like to play tank personally
I still wonder if a role-priority option when choosing roles instead of just checkboxes would be a simpler solution to the same problem with 6v6
Because 5v5 All Roles = Tank 13 times in a row, and with 6v6 that would be twice as bad

To be clear, it's not perfect. No system will please everyone. Period. Full stop. I just think for 6v6 this is the one I prefer so far between open queue, the last hacked event, and this one
I mean OW1 was pretty damn near perfect prior to the OW2 patch.
I'm so excited someone asked for your opinion! What else do you like or don't like?
Coffee
Blizzard specifically did ask for opinions.
It’s definitely more fun this version than the other versions. I’ve been exploring Juno more and it’s very fun to watch more of your torpedos lock on because there’s two extra people out there. Very satisfying
My partner says the same thing with Juno. Machine gun perk, machine gun torpedoes
All roles is like the cake in portal.
Honestly, the only problem I have with 2-2-2 is that even though it's Quick Play and a limited-time event (which should theoretically draw more people and, in this case, also more tank players to it), I have 4-minute support queue times during prime time. To be fair, DD wasn't that much longer, but therefore a third of the games are 1-3-2. If that's the "Quick" Play time, ranked will probably be horrible again. And since they can't just completely delete 5v5 QP and 6v6 Open Queue both permanently, the player base will divide up between those different modes and make queue times much longer. I like 6v6, but it's not so much better than 5v5 that it makes me want to spend those endlessly long queue times every single evening.
I'd put it more strongly: Support queue times are worse than they've ever been in my years of playing this game. I get 8min in solo queue, worse than comp. It's super annoying and defeats the point of quick play.
It’s the best right now. Over time it will bust the support queue and fewer dps will swap to tank.
I can’t tell, are teams always mirrored? Or could you end up with 2-2-2 vs 1-3-2?
It always mirrors
Queue times have been shocking good, even the couple times I just went as DPS.
I've had the opposite experience. Support queue times are worse than they've ever been
I’ve had multiple 10 minute dps queues, haven’t even touched support. I think 5v5 still has faster matchmaking.
Really they just have to up the health pools of certain tanks/nerf the ones on mobile squishies and 6v6 will be in a very good spot
Right now I am not liking 6v6 better than 5v5. Some healers feel useless with another tank to heal, and our team (2 to 4 friend playing regulary) feel force to play some characters. I feel like they should buff some of the healers to be able to keep up with the additional player. It can be because we arent really good, I would say our level must be around plat/diamond depending of which role we are playing. And I think they should force the 2-2-2, I feel like the possibility to switch to dps just the time to try to pass a difficult choke is not worth the downside of having a dps that will never switch to tank even if the game is boring because one team is rolling on the other (and maybe that wouldnt change anything, some people are just discovering the game, you can expected everybody to have the same understanding of the game) What do you feel about the balance between characters in 6v6 ? What change do you think they should make to go back to 6v6 ? (Revert some they did when it went 5v5 ? Old sombra ? Doom dps again ? Nerf genji ?)
