They will be punished by the aspect that a person who queues up only as dps will have to wait for 10 minutes compared to someone who can play anything and doesn’t care what roles he plays as long as he can play as many matches as possible at that span of time. Flex players and those who fill will most definitely have shorter queue timers compared to those who only care to play the dps role and nothing else. That’s the only form of punishment.
My previous post was about role queue and the idea of positional rank along with it, nothing about SR so I don’t even know what crossed your mind.
I don’t care who climbs and with what, that’s none of my business. What I care is to have a normal competitive experience and not being under the situation of hoping that this coin toss for match making is not matching me with 3 or 4 players who play the same role / hero.
How can they even call it ’ competitive ’ when the result of the match is decided on hero select screen ? How does that measure a player’s skill with such certainty in any sort of way when part of the result is decided by match making ?
’ Will any team have a smurf ? Which team will have the most one tricks ? Which team will have the player who says he doesn’t know how to play support / tank ? Let’s wait four minutes in queue wondering with praying hands before character select screen comes, just to see 5 people with private profiles picking four dps anyways. ’
That’s how competitive is right now and that’s why it’s a joke.
