I’d rather have somebody that knows how to play their character than pick a role they can’t play just to fill the comp (I actually changed my IGN to CantPlayTank to get my point across). A better system for SoloQ would be to let people pick a primary and secondary class, matchmake teams based on comp and then lock those roles in.

This system does have a few problems, like long wait times for ADC and Jungle because most of those roles are insta locked as soon as you hit the selection screen. So maybe an opt-in/opt-out system like how a random 5 won’t be match against a squad 5. This would also allow players to get more familiar with a role they are trying to learn instead of risking getting flamed or reported because they are trying to learn a role in unranked. Bot matches are great and all, but they don’t give you a good verity of scenarios.

Another thing is that people put way too much emphasis on win rates. Win rates are good for you as a player to see what you’re statistically good at, but being a team game you can still lose even though you are carrying your team. I’d prefer either an all time K/D/A average for each character or average score with each player. I’d rather know that Yorn has an average 3/7/6 k/d/a than a 52.3% WR out of 156 games. Or that Bitterfly puts up 11/3/7 instead of 46% in 103 games. This also lets people know what kind of player that person is (ex. As a support should I build for roam or will I have to babysit Valhein because he thinks he can take the whole team by himself.

TLDR: Allow people to be matched based on preferred role and change win rates to an average k/d/a system.
