Why is this even confusing? how fast u pick a character without conferring with your team doesnt mean youve locked into your role, it just means you dont understand team comps. No, that 3rd dps does not have to swap to healer just cause u picked first.
or
3(or more) people instalock dps and think they got it first, does that make a team of 4dps any better? you know its bad, yet routinely players refuse to swap.
why the rant? i feel like any player who played the same hero 100% of a competetive game and didnt communicate at all should immediately be banned from competetive play and redirected to quickplay. and i think the players need to be given to power to do this because it seems blizzard doesnt remand any but the most actively trolling( you have to feed straight, for several days, while playing several games each day to get banned it seems, and now if you get commended along that timeline you wont be banned? game is dying i guess
WellâŚto be fair you have established superior hardware / reaction time.
So you have that over the 3rd pick dps guy on you team.
u know i would be alright with it if they were competent enough to make this joke.
Are you saying that locking a 3rd DPS means you understand team comps? What makes you think you are entitled to the DPS role and the other 2 who locked before you arenât?
ppl instalock because they dont want anyone else to pick said hero, why should i âWAITâ a moment just for someone else to pick a hero i wanted to play for a certain map.
3dps isnât optimal but it is winnable. Out of 4 games on my journey from 2600 to 2700 on my mccree only account, I won 1 game with 4 dps, 1 game with 3 dps, and 1 game with 2/2/2. I lost the other game with 2/2/2.
Skill is the biggest determiner of winrate. If you really care that much about team comp, you should not be queueing up outside of LFG.
Practically any comp is winable below masters. When we get 3 dds and the 4th one joins I usually tell the remaining tank to go dd too and people seem to have a hard time with 6 people just swarming around them instead of having any certain location to attack.
Even works well in low masters (dunno about higher ranks)
Sometimes we even get completly stomped with 2-2-2 and then stomp back with 5-0-1.
Was funny playing with a mostly high gold stack as a high diamong player telling them to go dd and they all get their minds blown that it works.
Itâs because they have a gaming chair.
Damn bro, i am amazed at the level of butthurt so fast. when did i say that? i didnt. if your in competetive you should communicate and coordinate with your team, if you arent capable of that you have no place in cometetive. i would much rather have the 4th pick go 4th dps if he is communicating and has a reason for his pick, ie phara mercy, then the other dps should swap, or speak up as to why they cant
This is why Jeff made the lfg for us. To avoid this crap.
Normally people lock whatever they are most comfortable on even if its 4 dps at first, then whoever is comfortable flexing switches. Maybe if you donât tilt before the game even starts and discuss comp and what people canât or canât play with team you wouldnât be losing.
If there are no flex players on the team and you get 4dps mains its generally even worse of an idea to have them play roles they canât play.
So true however everyone thinks the number of class x(DPS,healer,tank) is the deciding factor of every game. It ISNâT
Iâve gad so many games where my team has ran 2/2/2 but we get rolled first point and everyone stops caring a goes DPS and 1 person stays healer and then we start rolling the enemy despite being a âthrowâ comp as some would say. And this was while I was high diamond/masters
This right here!
People are STILL soloqing and get butt hurt at what your team picks? LFG is the answer to this.
Depends on what rank youâre in. On this gold account I play mostly Mccree and flex if I feel like it, but to to me it doesnât really matter what you, or the rest of the team pick I still have a 70% chance to win. 
As long as itâs not solo heal Zen or Brig, I can manage 3 or even 4 dps on a team.
There is no limit to the number of dps slots. Im fine w 6 of them if they are good.
I instalock main tank all the time. Weirdly donât get complaints.
Happens all the time with Ana, ESPECIALLY now with the new buff.
I play solo because I donât have a mic so I wouldnât want to go for a 6stack vs 6stack being the only one without a mic because that could really hurt a coordinated team.
Either way use LFG or flex like I do all the time I donât care what hero Iâm playing I just want to do my best and win games without being toxic or crying about me not being able to play a dps. Improvise, adapt, overcome and have fun.
