just came up with an abstract idea.
What if when you queued up for Tank, it matched you DPS and Supports that you’re able to play at.
Now I know it’s ripe for exploitation and what if you don’t place on a certain role, but let’s skip that part for right now.
Currently, I’m 2000sr Tank, 1700sr DPS, and 1800 Support
What if when I queued up for DPS, instead of placing me with 1700 Tank and Supports, it placed me with 2000sr Tanks and 1800sr Supports.
afterall, I’m able to play tank at a 2000sr level, don’t I deserve one of those on my team?
I understand I have the privilege of queuing up with 2000sr DPS when I play tank right now. But I’m wondering what the macro effects would be if my idea were to be implemented.
Thank you.
Doomfist main got to GM because of the meta, has no awareness or game sense whatsoever. Decides to one day play Tank/Support which aren’t privileged with such leeway. How do you think his team would react?

so say he plays Tank at a 3750sr level. He would get two GM DPS’s (note, I’m against segregating GMs so harshly, I wonder how they feel about it though)
If those DPS don’t like having Tanks at such a low SR, then they themselves need to climb their own Tank play out of the 3750sr bracket.
Yeh but the thing is, there are quite a few DPS players who will not play tank or support. Or players who simply can’t gain awareness. Rein is super easy to play but can be punished so easily by such a little mistake. Your tanks give you space and your supports are your backbone.
Myself personally, 3800sr dps player. You put my tank anywhere higher than diamond and I will feed.
Your idea is leaned towards “Let’s make the players feel like they have to play all roles” this simply will not work. The forums will be filled with “Why should I have to play with a low elo tank when, I would be top 500 genji main if it wasn’t for these stupid tanks.”

It would only make queue times longer for everyone.

I’ll answer with a question : Does this 2k SR tank, who can be a 2k4-2k5 SR DPS and a 2k6 SR support, deserves to play with a 1k7 DPS?
It wouldn’t work at all.
I mean, if you’re 2000:1700:1800, then it would have to find, specifically, 5 other people who are also 2000:1700:1800 or close.
To exaggerate the numbers, imagine you are 3000:2500:2000 (tank:dps:sup) queuing as dps. Game finds a 3000SR tank, but his rating is 3000:3500:2500. He then can’t be matched with you because you’re outside of his range of dps. That being the case, it could only match you with a 3000:2500:2000 rated tank, and 3000:2500:2000 rated supports.
Just doesn’t seem that feasible.
And even beyond that, a tank player could just throw on dps/support to end up with a 4500:<500:<500 rating, which would just produce silly games. Again, exaggerated numbers, but the point stands even for smaller differences in rank.

What do you mean, you already are playing with people all over the rank.
Indicator for bad machtes:
- low level accounts (fresh accounts)
- rank are all over the place, even a role by role comparison
- placement matches

Sometimes people have off games. You will rarely get a team that’s 100% of its crap.
“doomfist main” i see no doomfists climbing more than 1 rank in this meta, would be more realistic with a diamond moira whos like gold dps.
Pls dont.
So lets say a mercy main is 4200SR with mercy but 2700 as dps and 3200 with tanks, wouldnt that be fun that he would be placed with 2700 dps players and 3200 tanks? And wouldnt you deserve? Yeah sure, just climb and you will get those lol.

They might play high at DPS/Support, so their Tank games are high at first, even though they might play Tank at a rank or two below their other roles.
You are getting people on your level you heaping pile of garbage

I’ll believe it when I see it.
and the 4300s turned the 4200 away, now his wrath lies upon the 1700s
