Overwatch League Analysts tease Role Lock after Stage 3 Finals
Blizzard EntertainmentThe about a possible Role Lock coming to Overwatch League’s Stage 4 that would force teams to run two supports, two tanks and two DPS (or 2-2-2).
The Leauge has yet to say anything officially on whether or not the change is coming, but the desk team threw in what could be a little hint that it’s actually happening as they signed off.

After every Overwatch League game day Watchpoint, hosted by the desk talent, examines each of the days matches in-depth on Twitch.
After going into the Shanghai Dragon’s impressive Stage Finals win during the post-match Watchpoint segment, the desk crew signed off in a way they never have before.
[ad name=”article3″]As the camera pulled out, Soe Gschwind, Josh “Sideshow” Wilkinson and Brennon “Bren” Hook all threw up peace signs which, when we put our tinfoil hats on, seems to indicate that a 2-2-2 role lock is indeed on the way.
On top of that, host Chris “Puckett” Puckett said that the pre-Stage 4 Watchpoint would be a “special” one, hopefully special enough to give us solid answers on whether 2-2-2 is actually happening or not.
We should know whether or not a 2-2-2 lock is actually going to happen in Stage 4 before it gets going, but plenty of players are also wondering whether or not it will be headed to the main game as well.

Even though we don’t know whether a 2-2-2 lock will happen to all Overwatch players, we do know that Summer Games and Hero 31 are both on their way.
In a recent Developer Update Kaplan told fans that Hero 31 would be arriving later than past Summer heroes had, so we could possibly see him arrive after Summer Games.
