I wanted to ask if anyone else was having the same issue I’m having, which is that all roles is 100% of the time giving me the role of tank. I’m at 17/20 of the all roles challenge, and every single game, which would be a minimum of 9 games giving 100% tank. Is this just a reflection of the lack of tank playerbase in EU or is something else happening that’s forcing me into tank?
I know I’m not crazy because when this first came out, all roles would usually give support, but there would be occasionally a different role. Is that completely gone and instead it will just fill you into tank because there’s 0 tank players and there’s no way to avoid this? I’m genuinely tempted to just keep leaving each game until I get some form of penalty just to avoid playing tank on defence for 10 games back to back when most of the playerbase agree it’s just a boring role to play.
Yes. I don’t know if under normal queue times there would be an even probability of all 3 roles, but with <1 min tank queue times you’re pretty much guaranteed to get tank every time.
All roles is just a misnomer to filling whatever role is not being queued for at the moment. There is no even probability or “pity” mechanic to get you into a specific role.
I wouldn’t call it ‘pity’ to have ‘all roles’ actually provide you with a taste of ‘all roles’, instead of the same role over and over again. That defeats the point of queueing for all roles, as you may as well just queue for tank at that point.
Ironically I’m a support main, but I’d gladly take any role other than tank. I just don’t see the point in them designing challenges that force you to play tank just because they haven’t made the gameplay enjoyable to most people
Tank is pretty insufferable to play right now and likely a large part of why they’re funneling so many Flex into the role. I can’t speak for EU, but generally speaking in the last couple years, it’s not uncommon to get thrown into support as well.
That’s the unfortunate side of it I guess. I was reading through some of the old posts and people were complaining how they would only get like, 10-20% dps games when queueing for all roles. To look back on that and think how entitled they were is almost surreal. I’m not sure why there isn’t some form of ‘you’ve had this role 10 times in a row, let’s change it up a bit’ which is the entire reason that people queue for flex in the first place, to play something with a bit of variety. If people who were playing flex were only considering the queue times, surely it would be the exact same queue time to just queue tank regardless? I’ll gladly sit in the all roles queue for an extra minute or two every few games just to have something different.
Tank and support, but especially tank is done as a role. All but 2 or 3 tanks are unplayable and support no longer has a clear purpose. Nobody wants to suffer the frustrations of these roles so they’ve up and stopped playing. That’s why you’re always getting tank. None of us are playing the game anymore
