Flex Queue = Tank

[Solomon]

Change your game so there's an equal chance for each role. You have the metrics. No one wants to play tank, and very few people want to play support.

[The Hermit Gamer]

Flex literally means you're willing to queue for whatever is needed to make up a lobby. So you will usually get whatever has the lowest queue times and if no one wants to play tank that means you'll almost always get tank. That's literally how it works. If you don't want to get tank queue for something specific.

I'm sorry you are so unlucky, when I start the game i say lets go 3 tanks 2 heals and we steamroll all the time.

You could even play mystery heroes! Where no one can pick! Wowowowowowo!

Sad that so few people know about Tankwatch in open queue. I do see a lot of the 4 dps though.

Tanks win games not dps. :)

Tankwatch is pretty brutal it does make for some great brawls if you get the other team to do the same

Sometimes i think most people just have all chat muted because of the bad eggs that go ham in the chat when something goes wrong, and then it hurts the good players that just wanna communicate about teamplay. It sucks

Even if that was true it's less indicative of the role queue and more of roles being better balanced gameplay wise

Doubt it has anything to do with balance.

Tanks are generally harder to play, need your team to work around them to get the most value out of them, and are incredibly reliant on thing like people taking advantage of space or having good supports to show what they can do.

It's an extremely fun role in a proper team, but far less so in randoms/solo queue.

When I said balanced gameplay wise I meant the way you play the game not literally some being stronger than others. People shouldn't hate playing every role that isn't DPS, whether that's an issue with the players or the game.

yea support is literally the strongest role right now, everyone wants to play support. Back when i used to play more seriously almost no one played support or tank but oh how the times have changed.
