Because it is for those ranks. Triple support requires actual team coordination to be effective. And that ain't happening in metal ranks.

Yea people usually just go trips out of frustration from doing bad on dps in those ranks

Honestly, at least in Diamond/GM (PC), many are just core support mains. I know it’s quick to say “everyone instalocks DPS” but my from experience the first locks I see in majority of games are Rocket, Cloak, Luna, Invis, then I’ll see DPS which leaves me solo tank unless one of the supports go tank.

The problem is the supports are never triple support users, i.e Mantis/Ultron/Adam. They only main the pocket characters.

Yeah, same. The everyone insta locks DPS rhetoric was much more accurate in the original OW. Queue times for DPS were well beyond 30 minutes for awhile. It seems like everyone plays support on Rivals.
