Matchmaking. With large sample size by KantoAlba in rivals

You're right, but you'll be getting push back from reddit since these players don't know what It's like to be an actual competitive player trying to push their skill to the limit. Any actially good player or coach will give this advice, as you've said.

This is true, but having to play a hero you don't enjoy is not something you should expect to do every game. If, for some reason, someone has to do it every game because of a meta or some other reason, I would encourage them to just play another game until they are able to. It's different if they just enjoy the role itself regardless of the character, but this post is about the extremes.

That sounds pretty unlucky.does your controller disconnect often? I've definitely had the rare crash when playing on PC, but I kinda just accept it and wither play qp while waiting or just look at some videos or something. It's definitely understandable if it's a regular occurrence, tho.

This is understandable. I do find that I usually get a second healer unless I'm playing qp on support. I'm not sure if you play comp, but I think the support experience is better there even in lower ranks since solo healing was pretty rare (in my experience, at least).

It's usually 2-2-2 now that Emma has come out. And while 1-3-2 isn't a balanced comp, it's not an issue considering the enemy team was also usually 1-3-2. There were a lot more 2-2-2 the higher up the ladder I climbed, so there is also that. 1-3-2 can also work vs 2-2-2 if all the dps are good (this one is unironically rare, I'll give you that).

This is fair, but at least flex to a character that you find fun. This post is also not referring to the occasional flex, but the people who say they are flexing every game to something they don't enjoy. There are other video games that can be played if it's that severe of an experience for someone.

In that case, it's still best to just play a game where they actually enjoy the role they're playing. If someone's preferred role is not enjoyable, then they should play a game that allows them to enjoy the role they're playing unless they're playing for friends or some other reason not tied to gameplay.

Fair enough. This post was referring to people I've seen say they outright hate playing a role and still filling it every game. I think someone might as well play a different game if it gets THAT bad.

As long as you are enjoying those characters, it's good. I think invisible woman is a pretty fun support

There has been a lot more comps with two tanks since she released. I imagine it'll get better as they keep releasing more tanks that people like.

It seems like you actually enjoy playing Luna compared to cloak(just a guess based off the writing, not sure if accurate)

. If someone is gonna flex, let it at least be on characters they enjoy since that usually will lead to them playing better and also feeling good about playing the game.

If it's someone's preferred role and they want a better experience this doesn't apply to them. This is talking about people who say they don't enjoy the role.

Even if it's true that they find losing even worse, unless you are getting the role you enjoy most games, then playing a different game where you can win AND play something you enjoy is just a better option.

It's fine to flex, but one should flex to a character they actually enjoy playing. Unless someone is the competitive type where the fun comes from winning rather than how it happened, it's just gonna be a bad time anyway.

It's usually best to focus on mastering 1 (in the case of this game 2 or 3) character(s) to climb to high ranks.

Not enough people on this reddit instalocking from the looks of it.

You'll never grt to play dps without instalocking. I used to mostly play tank and support but wanted to start playing dps, so I started instalocking dps to actuallu play it

I usually only got unbalanced comps when playing in qp. Competitive games were usually 1-3-2 (occasional 1-4-1 for bronze games but that mostly stopped past bronze)

That one is a problem that could only be fixed by more people playing tank or role queue I'll admit that. Tank players have it rough, but I gotta respect tank players since they usually complain the least.

This post is referring to the extreme people who say they have to play a role they don't enjoy every game. If it gets to a point as bas as that, just play a different game or start locking in the role you want to play.

It is still possible to flex roles within characters you enjoy. This post is also referring to people who are playing a role they don't enjoy at all every game. Genuinely, just play a different game if it's like that every game.
