Dps complaining about long Q times are the ones that made Role Q necessary

What exactly you deem an unreasonable team comp?

I agree with Jeff Kaplan. Solo tanking and healing is an unreasonable way to play the game.

@JeffreyKaplan

We actually tried a mode we called “411” because it limited comps to 1 tank, 1 healer and the rest DPS.

It was not fun and we didn’t enjoy it. The way the game is tuned, the importance it placed on the lone tank or lone support was too significant. Also, we’ve all evolved as players since 2016 and we’re much better these days at melting the tank or melting the healer than we used to be. Once your lone tank or healer died, it felt like you were forced to completely regroup with no chance of pulling out a win.

It was a good experiment for us to try and led to a lot of good discussion. But yeah, wasn’t fun…

I still don’t understand this, being a solo healer has it’s benefits

I will refer you to the same quote from Jeff Kaplan above.

@IzNoGooD-1824

But now that this is no longer possible toxicity is way up simply because of it.

Anecdotal.

Whereas before, if you left your comp matches you lose SR on the one and only SR, so if you kept doing that, you’ll keep dropping.

Wouldn’t know. I would assume the same penalty exists now as before. Leave too many matches and you cannot play competitive at all in any role. Leave enough times and you will have to purchase a new account to play competitive mode. I don’t leave, ever, so I wouldn’t know the punishment system they have in place now for leavers.
