I don’t know if this happens to anyone else or not but for me everytime I que for all roles I get stuck as support. I’ve even played multiple matches with a 5 stack and we team ques for all roles and I was stuck as support the whole time. The other support got swapped once to tank and the tank to support. The DPS remained DPS the entire playing session as well until we all decided to just swap ourselves. Is this happening to anyone else and what is the role you’re given based on? I think it should automatically swap you to another role if you are stuck playing the same role after two games.

From what I’ve been told there is a support drought right now.

Yeah I have queued as all roles pretty much since OW2 came out, so have queued for maybe over 500 games by now, and I have got support every single time apart from 2 or 3 times.

OW1. All role queue is always tank.
OW2. All role queue is like 50/50 support/dps. Where I play dps/support is nearly both equally <2min and <1min support. Tend to get DPS rather frequently.

Before this patch flex is around 60% support 30% dps 10% tank. Offhours dps and support are half and half. After…not enough games to get a feel but around 40% support 40% dps 20% tank based on the hours I logged today.
I’m guessing because the matchmaker tries to get everyone at the same skill level, if your support rating is your closest one to the rest of your team or your team mates are really BAD at supports, you’d get put in as support all the time 
Better off queuing up in free play tbh. You can swap to anything not already in use, and people seem to me to play better.
that’s what happens when you nerf supports into oblivion. who queues up and says, “yes, time to babysit”. or, “i cannot wait for nerfed napkin royale”. if a role isn’t fun to play many walk away.

You must be playing quick player, comp you get support 99% of the time and that 99% is literal it isn’t an exaggeration.

Can confirm. In 18 hours of Comp play, I’ve played 12 minutes on non-support (it was a tank game), which is 1.1%.

Really? I’ve had about 80/20 Support/Tank this far. Oh I just got tank! 
When I play competitive I play as support only, so I don’t really mind. But in quick play I’m all stuck playing support due to the all role que.
Rank? region? Platform? Game mode? Time of day?
My experience is nothing similar to yours at all.
I got a tank once and dps 2x. Made me love support heroes tbh now my top 3 most played are all support and i find it pretty fun tbh but yeah kinda sucks for others
I got DMG & Tank here and there but yeah it’s most just support. My dmg is just rusty since i only play support or tank.
For me it looks like 60-30-10. Sixty percent support, 30 percent DPS, 10 percent tank.
At the same time my wife (we play as a group) often gets to play tank.
100% for me. Unranked or Ranked, if I Que All Roles I get to play Support. I assumed as others have already mentioned earlier in this post, Support shortage. And I agree, having to heal Damage players who do about the same damage I do, or get blamed for the teams loss even though I have highest (or 2nd highest) Heals amount of all four supports. I hope support classes get some upgrades or more epics skins for Cheap, maybe help drawl others to want to play them.

Out of my 100 I got probably 4 DPS, 2X tanks, all other support
same. plus on console it’s always +500 xp for battle pass for playing support which is nice-kinda
If you’re flexing you’re saying that you’re able to play in any role, so they’ll take the one with less players at the momment. Usually that is the support role, cause nobody wants to play those in OW 2
