why cant you change characters mid match or after locked in? and why is the load screen from character select to map soo long?

[Splat ♥]

it takes no time at all to pick a character in overwatch and load a match

and being able to change a character mid match really helps prevent being stomped


most of my matches go enemy picks characters that have 10,000 hps and deal 800-1000 damager per hit

my team picks people with 200 hp that do 10 damage a hit

clearly the other team is going to steam roll


i dont understand why if getting steam rolled that you cant change character to osmething that wont take as much damage or be better fitted to what is happening

this isnt overwatch, thats why
this is more of a moba game, now tell me which moba allows you to change characters mid game

[Jimmy9003]

There is game like that, its called OW. You are welcome to play it. :)

Eh, I'd prefer it not to be able to change character mid-game. It'd probably affect how characters are designed, and result in the OW issue where you're constantly changing characters to counterpick whatever the enemy team has.

which makes it a better game

vs, may as well stand in spawn for 10 minutes as our team cant do damage or survive for longer than 0.5 seconds even if we throw everything we have at 1/5 of them we do 200 damage and they do 50k

But Overwatch is now enforcing "Role Queue" to improve match quality and give control over your player experience

It Is getting closer what's paladins try to accomplish with the current meta and champion selection lol

Then you drafted poorly and you suffer the consequences. You can win with any draft (5 dps teams and 5 healer teams win on occasion). The vast majority of stomps in this game have nothing to do with picks and everything to do with matchmaking.

Because this isnt Overwatch my guy. The play style of the game is inspired by Mobas like League of Legenda or Smite (which btw is a game of Paladins publisher). Plus it has been like this since the very first days of the game years ago. Seeing that you havent put tpp much time into the game yet i can understand tho that this might be new to you considering Paladins counter parts work different

As for stomping, of course there are team compositions you wont be able to win or easily win because they are not viable, if you build a team of 5 tanks vs a proper built team with 2 tanks 2 dps and a main healer, ofc you wont have a easy time. It can be iritating playing x character into a comp which is disadvantageous for you but thats how casuals are.

Because of what Hyuga says (wait, the Strix legend himself? what?) and also because it would be VERY detrimental to the balancing of the game.
