Role Lock at least at ranked

[Nigel Incubator Jones]

I have been playing ranked the last 4 days and I haven't been able to go more than Bronze 3.
I am playing either Tank or healer,since I always preferred support than DPS (From Wow to Overwatch)

Every game we have 3 or more DPS and no one change to tank /healer.Even if they change ,they change when 3/4 of the game has passed and we are losing badly.
Whenever we have a 2/2/2 comp we are always wining but this happens every 3rd or 4th game.

One idea is a queue for each role. For example if you go Tank or Healer or DPS you have a different waiting time.

Before the "GET GUD" arguement, how can someone "get GUD" if you are always on the losing side because either you dont have tanks or healers? You can not "get better" if you are always punished because everyone thinks he deserves to be a DPS.

Also because it will be mentioned about OW, role lock was not enforced because most people were playing DPS but because there were broken comps with tanks and healers.

The developers already confirmed that they will never directly force roles.

I'm also pretty sure that you don't need vanguards.

They're unfortantly not considering including this at all. You're going to have to learn to either make friends to play with who want particular roles filled, or deal with it:

i am a support main i got to gold 1 two times in the space of maybe 4 or 5 days. only to go on like 10+ losing strike because of dps players. you can look at my stats if you google marvel states and then my marvel rivels user name xchrispbacon to see i am not lying. people only want to play dps and even if there going 3-9 they wont change role to tank to help the team they rather lose then ever changing role. its also unfair for supports to lose the same amount of ranked points when there not much i can do if dps is throwing going 3-12 by the end of the game

Role lock/que would hurt the game. Right now you can formulate strategies that do work, I've seen matches won by a quick swap to 3 tanks or 3 healers based on needs and counterpicks. If you lock roles, you are saying 2/2/2 is the only way to play the game and removes a ton of strategy.

Ultimately the problem will solve itself, the people picking dps into 6dps lineups and forgoing any heal or tank will quit because their winrate is probably around 20% and that just isn't fun for long periods of time.

Nah you went on the losing streak because you are solo Q. This is a team game. Play in a team and your "Problem" of not being able to control what other players do is solved. You aren't a serious player though, just a serious whiner.

To think they added tools both ingame and on their discord to help people solve this problem here and now at launch to both make new friends and start making premade teams. Do that, and this problem will literally disappear and never become an issue again for you.

But no, people still ensist solo queuing and wondering why they're always just playing to lose....

As with every MMO game is that players dont log in at the same time.For example if I am playing at 4 in the afternoon some people will not log in.
Give two options.
Either go random or with role lock.

Honestly i don't mind having 3 dps. People not swapping when they are countered is a worse problem.

0/7 ironman insisting on not swapping vs hela hawkeye. Have fun its winable guys.

"Right now.." I think they'll change their mind eventually. People are just too dumb to be allowed to make their own decisions.

tbh its better like this now cause you can switch up and do crazy stuff like 3 1 2 or 3 0 3 or 1 2 3 2, 2 2 2, 2 1 3, and so on like if the enemy team went 3 0 3 you can counter them with 1 3 2 or etc its like infinite
