for many players - myself included - this holds no appeal at all
players like myself would prefer the freedom to be able to pick and/or swap to roles as needed throughout the game to address the problems that the map and/or other team presents

I’d honestly like to see a fourth hero role and to try 7v7 instead of 6v6. This fourth would be “utility.” Now many heroes have utility but a few kinda are forced into a role that poorly supports them.
I’m thinking: Lucio(speed), Mei(freeze), Sombra(Hack/Silence) Symmetra(Teleport?). You’d probably wanna add 1-2 more but lef’s be honest: these heroes aren’t really in their role as is and could be reworked to focus on utility over damage/support.
I think the maps could sustain 1 more on each side comfortably. This would also give these less loved heroes reason to be played so perhaps reducing some of the hate they get. This also would impact DPS queues as taking largely from it the heroes thus reducing the role skew that impacts queues.
It’s a bit wild and needs more thought if not its own post but it’s food for thought.
DPS is so inflated because it was comprised of two roles jammed together one day; perhaps 4 different roles would balance better and the reduced options on it would be a-ok because only 1 per team. Thoughts?
