The "Open Q was all dps" take is wrong

picture this:
you load into a game, a few people pick character.
when you hover over a character in a role it displayed projected winrate
you hover over each
tank: “58%”
support: “56%”
dps: “41%”

you have the right to pick whatever you want, but that dps number almost never breaches 50% and even rarer does it surpass both other roles.

dominant strategy is almost always to flex to tank/support unless ur teammates are uncomfortable dpsing. if picking a winning strategy isnt within your interest (aka ur playing to go brr) then yea you have freedom to do whatever you want. theres nothign wrong with that, and theres nothing wrong w/ picking dps in this situation, youre free to do whatever you want. but if exercising strategy and maximizing winrate are things you value, then yes you would be essentially forced to avoid the dps role in this format.

ps
feel free to make fun of my garbage circumstantial made up explanation, im hella tired. but you know as well as I do that despite being “free” to do whatever you want, there are good choices and there are bad choices, and these choices are usually obvious. infact you could argue even with 0 dps picked, its debateable if its even valuable to pick dps yourself!

Again, role-less queue does not force you to choose any character or role

If one chooses on the basis of character winrate, one has chosen freely with that as the main reason for their decision. This was a choice. In no way was the character forced to make that choice

Further, if i have practiced a character showing a low winrate for many hours, i am confident i will gave a better chance to win if i choose the character showing a high winrate but have rarely played
