Please replace the 3 flex queue daily with a general play 3 matches daily. It’s the only daily to do in a reliable timeframe, but having to pick flex and then getting tank 3 times in a row is making me never want to play this game again. I’m already commited to the current battlepass so I’ll suffer away this season, but I think this will be the last battlepass I’ll pick up if progressing it continues to semi-force flex queue in this way.
If three tank games feel like a chore then perhaps rethink your free time options.

Get good on tank, and then it’s never an issue.
Or better, play a game that doesn’t force you to play roles you don’t like.

Hm, immediately attacking an suggestion that would only improve the game. Weird.
In my opinion flex queue should be alternating between the 3 roles, 1 of each, reset, repeat.
There is no forcing in OW, just mild encouraging. You can just queue for what you like. The queue times are okay for most people (apparently they’re pretty bad for high elo players though).
Sure, no one from Blizzard is holding a gun on head level.
But what happens in reality is people like OP who are feeling “forced” because they want to maximize their profit, which is rooted in human psychology. Those people are doing things they don’t like. That’s anti-fun and anti-consumer.
Others like me will straight up ignore that type of challenges, which also prevents me from maximizing my time. So despite spending the same time playing the game, I get less “rewards”, and my only “crime” is that I didn’t want to play a role I don’t like or a role i’m bad at.

If you put it that way, it does make some sense that perhaps I should just quit the game. I am just suffering from the Sunk Cost Fallacy at this point. I will see where my head is at in 40 days. Maybe the game will be more fun once they Shake and Bake.
“All Roles” is a misnomer. This queue option was specifically created and heavily incentivized as a “fill” option to cut down on queue times. Without it and the challenges, both daily and weekly, your Quickplay – and possibly to a lesser degree even Comp – queue times for DPS and Support would be much higher. Blizzard needs to keep the queue times down in order for players to keep logging on and play… buy stuff.
It doesn’t force you. Only need 3 of 6 for max reward. And even if people only do 2, it’s all of 3k xp or like 2 games worth. Really not a big deal.
Not that I am opposed to it being play 3 games, especially for people who prefer non rq.
