Let us choose if we want to wait for an actual functioning comp
So we can avoid zul’jin’s without tanks,
K thanks.

i remember when each team got a Tank and a healer
No one lied it cause the Que times were “Too long”
So blizzard changed it back and now QM is mostly 5 v 5 assassins who can out poke or out dive the enemy more.
Hots players had the chance to have actual comps for QM
But they threw it away for faster ques
People want to wait 1 minute for a 20 minute awful game rather than wait 3 minutes for a balanced 20 minute game.
I was one of the few who wanted to keep the confirmed tank and healer for QM, but most players did not and i have no sympathy for them.
Hots players deserve this 5 v 5 assassins matches because they didn’t want to wait 2 extra minutes.
So if you expect blizzard to change it back don’t count on it since this is what the HOTS community wanted
I didn’t like the enforced comp restrictions for a different reason. I found the games were boring. I like the wacky and chaotic nature of unrestricted QM. Its a feature to me, not a bug.

‘no one liked it’.
Blizz themselves said they had an immense positive reception. They only changed it back because a small minority were waiting excessively long.
It was the stupidest decision they made.
Signed- The person who is tired of playing games as a healer without any peel.

Yeah and I’m not opposed to that in principle, but the reality is that in a way you divide QM into 2 separate player pools.
Will that cause a problem? Dunno, maybe. Without knowing what the player population is like it might be great or it might slow down match making even worse than what it was when everyone had forced comps.
I’m sure blizz could test such a system using their current data and see what sort of queue times the simulaton would produce if they had the will/resources to do so.
I would of rather waited 3 minutes for a good queue but now we have this hot garbage that makes me not want to even play assassins anymore because whenever i do it’s almost always an assassin 5v5 trash match.
I liked forced comps while they lasted. Not having a forced 1 tank, 1 healer would be fine if there were at least some parity between teams. Too often one team has very low damage against good sustain or a weak healer against a great one.
Blizzard should do something about healing in general. Maybe subdividing heroes into different categories based on healing and self-healing, so the healing sum of both teams is kept more or less the same. Fringe cases are pretty frustrating - Abathur healing vs no healing of Medivh or Zarya or Tass or a team of self-sustaining heroes vs no sustain squishies.
