Overwatch 2: Quick Play Hacked – November 6, 2024

Limit 2

Reimagine 5v5 with role limits and mid-match flexibility from November 6 to November 10!

Quick Play Hacked - Limit 2 challenges teams to rethink their strategy by limiting each role to two players in a fresh spin on 5v5 gameplay. This mode combines the freedom of Open Queue with the added structure of capped role slots, giving you more control over team balance and dynamics while fostering unique tactical choices. Adapt mid-game, redefine team dynamics, and test your limits across Open Queue!

  • Limit 2 will take over the Open Queue Quick Play slot.
  • Players select roles in a first-come, first-served setup, with only two players per role (Tank, Damage, Support).
  • Tank heroes will play without the Role Queue HP passive.
  • Once a role is capped at two players, it’s locked for the remaining team members, emphasizing strategic composition decisions.
  • You can switch roles during the match, but each role remains limited to two players, to maintain the mode’s unique balance.
  • This experimental mode runs for three days from November 6 to November 8, offering a limited-time experience to explore new team dynamics in Open Queue.
