Especially not in competitive. I don’t give one single flip how salty it makes you. Get over yourself and form a workable comp.

Just hearing about having 5 DPS in competitive gives me nightmares. I bet it wasn’t pretty.

In case like this pick Roadhog. THEY need healing, you don’t.

I love solo healing but being petty with heals at the same time. One time I was moira and this doomfist kept spamming I need healing all match, eventually he had like one health and I slowly walked up to him, shook my head no and said “absolute zero” he got on the mic so quick😂

This is a sentiment I can get behind.
I do admit that I feel a bit guilty sometimes when everyone starts spamming “I nEeD HeALinG!!!” But eh.

Mercy can be a pretty strong pick in such comps. I usually go her and give the team a fair chance (Up to a few minutes and an ultimate fight). If we’ve made zero progress up until then though, I pick sniper and practice my aim for the last few minutes.

They don’t wanna try and win, so they don’t deserve it. It’s that simple.

You can work with everything mate, the correct play would be to play mercy with 5 dps instead of being mad. Who know maybe one of them gives in and takes hamster?

The question is: why do you play soloQ when you know it gives you absolutely random folks around the internet?

5 dps is basically everyone agreeing to throw so no one obliged to play anything they dont want.

If there are 5 dps the real question is why didn’t you make it 6?

You have absolutely no obligation to fill for them (or for anyone), but I hope youre not one of those people who picks healer and then refuses to heal because youre tilted.

I love solo healing as ana. I can get nano ult very fast.
and let me guess, they want to report you for “throwing”. due you dont babysit them?..
"Report X, he didnt picked healer in our 5 DPS comp, so he is throwing"
am i right?

^ This. Mercy can actually be awesome in 4+ DPS comps (IF your team at least tries to protect you).
The reason is that everyone’s scattered about, so you can fly around the map like the ball in a pinball machine. XD It’s kinda fun sometimes, tbh.
That being said, I don’t really blame you for your sentiment, but I would suggest at least giving your team a shot before you lose hope.
I’d personally rather solo heal than solo tank. I don’t know how the frick people manage solo tanking, especially without a healer.

Mercy is literally THE number 1 pick for these kind of comps. 5dps comp works in GM ffs im pretty sure you can play it aswell

Ball can work like that too, just run the health packs 
Agreed. People whining about the “f****ng s**t comp”, meanwhile they’re playing Junkrat and there are no healers, just DPS. How ignorant are you? You’re part of the team comp and the reason why it’s terrible. I remember picking DPS a few times just to mess with these people (in QP - I’d never do this in comp) and within 2 minutes we had a perfect team comp and won the game. But those are sadly rare…
I love “first come, first served” because it’s the only time I really get to play DPS…only it’s not, because I can pick first, yes I can, but it doesn’t stop everyone else on the team ALSO picking DPS…so then I usually switch because I’m not about to waste my time getting steamrolled by a perfectly coordinated team just because everyone on my team is too bloody selfish to help out a little…

This is especially irritating, and happens a lot in comp:
5 dps instalock.
You wait for them to switch roles into some kind of team comp before selecting a hero yourself.
10 seconds before the round is about to start and they are all still dps.
You pick a self-reliant hero like Hog, to try and have some fun.
They all crowd round you spamming “thanks” and punching at you, like you’re the one throwing.
People on the forums love to shout “RoLe QuEuE wOn’T fiX aNYtHinG” but if it even slightly improves this problem, it can’t come soon enough for me.
