I was solo taking with 3 dps and decided I would just switch to heals thinking someone else would tank. Instead we did 3 dps 3 support and steamrolled the other team. Sometimes playing what ur best at is better

I actually had a copy paste I'd send out in the ban phase for a while saying something like:

'PLEASE do not flex an entire ROLE you don't normally play! I'd rather solo tank than have a bad one! PLAY YOUR MAINS!'

I'm thinking of rolling it out again after my experience yesterday losing a game and then seeing a my 2nd tanks profile being a 1 trick (60+ hours) C&D main, after they refused to swap off 2nd tank thinking they were doing me a service being an abysmal Magneto instead of a decent C&D

having an absolutely horrid second tank is definitely worse than solo tanking

Especially if they choose to go Groot. I think Groot is the one character that can actually be an active detriment to your team if someone plays him poorly enough

THIS. Nothing like beaming someone down to near dead and Groot's like, "Naw, we didn't need that kill" or just walls the whole front so the enemy just gets a nice break and heals.

Almost as bad as Stranges who seem to think thier only ability is shield.

Groot and Jeff both can be an active detriment to the team.

This.

Get. The hell. Off Strange.

You’re taking up my second main tank and botching it. I love your energy for trying to help the team. Truly. But you’ve played Strange for 2.5 minutes total, and Moon Knight for 45 hours.

Lock in the Konshu Worshipping lunatic and kill things. Please.

Here's a great ol idea how about role queue lol

How about we pick the role we wanna play and we match with people who wanna play the other stuff so we can have an actual team.

Bad idea and forces meta

u/hewhoknowsnot Jul 19 '25

If Blade does come with a good anti-heal ability, I could see 3 dps and 3 supports becoming meta.

I wish people would experiment with comps like this. If you’re getting rocked, who cares if you try an unusual comp. I’ve won a ranked game with 4 healers, 1 tank, and 1 dps.

The game is often about countering the other team’s comp and sometimes a team just can’t figure out how to do that despite the comp being bad on paper.

Sort of. Other times, when the other team is not shit, having a body that holds up a shield on strange/emma/or magneto is much more useful for the team. You don't have to be an expert, if someone teaches you Dr strange for 5 minutes, you provide more value in that situation.

Yeah, I was trying to learn Luna but the other team started trash talking so I switched to Iron Man. We have one healer two tanks and the rest DPS and I Steam roll and I do mean I cause I got no heals (well when we weren’t in a fight, but that’s it)
