The community adds compositions and variations, the team votes first thing on which composition to play. In the event of failure to come to a concensus the highest number of votes wins. In the event of a tie, comp is randomly chosen between compositions with the most votes
Players are allowed to select a position either based on highest MMR first (best way) or randomly.
In order to switch compositions team initiates vote for swap.
Blizzard + community decides what comps are legitimate and adds them to selection as needed.
Disadvantages: People must pick from available roles. Still forced to play roles they aren’t good at.
Advantage: People will always have a valid comp for the situation and team play is encouraged because if half the team wants a comp the remaining members must accept democracy.
Role Queue:
Disadvantages:
- more set meta.
Advantage:
- can set role specific mmr to improve matchmaking. Improved matchmaking accuracy, but not perfect since DPS, mercy players, and rein players in particular tend to have very different skill levels within their role.
- also guarantees a good comp.
hero specific queue - allow players to select specific characters to queue with, design a 2-2-2 system. But keep mmr and placements separate
disadvantage:
- Most likely difficult to balance number of players playing each role without requiring players to play off characters a certain percentage of their games.
- Loss of freedom.
advantage: balanced comps, accurate MMR and matchmaking finally
