Can You Please Address Team Comps Devs

It’s honestly Ridiculous that after so long we still have the same problem constantly affecting the Quality of Matches in All the Modes.

It’s literally in the game, hero select, on the right side you can see Warnings when your composition sucks. [“No Tank”, “Only One Healer”, “too many snipers”, …]
If you know these things are a problem Devs then why don’t you finally fix them??
Warnings aren’t gonna do anything, might as well take them off, the effect is the same.

Even if you think the solution to this is not so simple, why don’t you try anything?
Try things on the PTR, that’s why it’s there.

Let me tell you my solutions:
1- You select at random some of the players in the team to flex, let’s say 3 or 4, the others can play whatever they want. First, the Non-Flex will lock heroes, and only after the Flex players can lock their choices.
If the warnings in hero select don’t disappear before the game or round starts, the flex players will be randomly attached to the roles the team needs and they can’t lock anything that will trigger the warnings.

2- For this solution, the “mode”/games need to have the competitive rules.
There are 3 roles, Healers, Tanks & DPS. In the first round of every game, players can lock whatever hero they want, but when the round starts only the heroes from the role they are playing are available. Next round they are forced to play one of the other roles, and again, when the round starts only the heroes from that role will be available. Next round, if there’s one, they just have to choose something different from the last round, so players only need to play 2 roles to play in this mode. With this, players will voluntarily build good comps (If you want me to explain why let me know). A round in hybrid, 2cp, escort is attack/defense, in KOTH is one of the control point rounds.
We need the competitive rules so that we have at least 2 rounds in the modes that aren’t KOTH.

For now, those are my solutions. Just try something already Devs, please.

These will never work, nobody would want to play. Everyone and there cat wants to play insta-kill Hanzo-Maker. The only real solution was posted by somebody else, their fix would also help the lack of coins being earned in the game.
Just have daily quest to play as different heroes like other games do. Something like “Play as a Support/Tank hero to get X amount of coins.”

Would have the baker build your house? Do you think it’s a good idea to have an electrician fix your plumbing? If your house is on fire, would you rather call the fire department or the local dog trimming salon?

Because that’s what’s gonna happen if you’re gonna enforce hero picks/team compositions on people…

You’ll have dog trimmers trying to put out a house fire that was caused by the electrician who tried to fix the crappy plumbing because it was all built by a baker instead of construction workers :+1:

That’s ridiculous. No one will play such a game with restrictions you’re suggesting. Those warnings are just showing that the team is not balanced, nothing more. That doesn’t mean that you can’t win the game, all depending on people’s skills. If you want to play always balanced game you should find some friends that’s the only way to have reasonable game.

So make a much crappier version of league’s draft system. Seems like a crap idea
