The only reason for above is SR gains (imo all heroes are fun to play… if u can rank up)
What if the DPS gain 20% less SR
…no?..because then eventually high ranks will only comprise of tanks and supports and lower ranks of dps…
I think that after DIMOND… PERSONAL PERFORMANCE …is obsolete , only winning the game matters
So i don’t think that would apply
you are failing to see that 20 percent is substantial over multiple applications, creating a large divide eventually
for instance, a player who started at 2000, if dps, would get to 3200 sr while their tanks and support pals, would be at 4000 sr
/Facepalm.
For real, though. I very rarely run into groups where everyone actually refuses to go tank/heals. I usually end up filling as a healer, and I find that most people in comp will do the same if the situation calls for it.
You don’t always have two healers. You don’t always have two tanks. But honestly, it could be less to do with selfishness, and more to do with people just not being good at or knowing how to play those heroes.
I do wish people would stop bashing DPS players and assuming we’re all selfish, though. >.<
Of course , But u need one of each , no ? Otherwise its like playing Soccer without a goal keeper , or a referee
Yeah, but what I’m saying is it’s not that bad of a problem. I’d say 70% of my games are 2/2/2 comps, or at least 1/2/3.
I hate having to solo heal, don’t get me wrong. It frustrates me. But I don’t think lowering DPS SR gain is the answer. That’s punishing an entire group of people because some people happen to be clueless about team compositions.
Honestly, the bigger problem is people not picking things that synergize well. Like our DPS will be Genji and Reaper, and our tanks will be Reinhardt and Orisa. XP
But still, you can’t dictate what people play, and you certainly shouldn’t punish one role over the others.
Story time!!! This was my last match or the one before in season12 I think.
Map: Nepal
Comp 2/2/2.
Enemy comp is 2/2/2 as well.
We win round 1 100-0. We spawncamped them from 60+
Round 2 they go 5dps Lucio and stomp us. We lose 40-100 (We still 2/2/2).
Round 3 they keep the same comp. We are still 2/2/2ing. We lose. 99-100.
I was the lowest sr in my team at 3250.
We had a main tank smurf (high master / low GM). We also had a GM tracer smurf.
They had 1 Smurf (better than me, worse than my smurfs) and 2 high diamonds that were also a bit better than me (I swapped off DPS after the round we won, I think I shouldn’t have maybe).
TLDR: Won and lost games without main tanks at 3k+. It’s not that unusual.
Oh, I also won a high plat game on my brig 1 trick account with zarya solo tank. And it was a stomp btw.
Moral of the story: playing your main > playing a “good comp”.
Also if you have 4 DPS mains in your team they can work very good, especially if they can outplay the enemy DPS.
If they focus fire and burst or deny space to your own DPS tanks and supps are not gonna win.
I also won a defense on R66 where the enemy team couldn’t push past the choke. We were 3 tank 3 DPS with me as soldier solo heal.
Hey bro nice too see u again ,
Sure above happens but not very often
Below you just need to play your main. Up to mid diamond it’s very rare to find people that actually know to play their hero.
99% of DPS and offtank players are there because their mechanics carry them (I’m part of the club).
99% of supports and maintank players are carried there because of their game sense.
The guy that has a bit of both is a weak player
The guy that has both at a decent level I don’t play with because they climb past me.
Truer words could not be spoken
