5v5 puts so much value at the tank that no one wants to play them, I dont want to pick the role that will get me death threats because my venture decided to engage alone into the entire team and died

isn't it simple, 7v7 role queue and 7v7 open queue is the way forward.

I especially don’t play tank on 5v5 because it IS stupidly miserable and has no reward.

6v6 doesn’t have bad que times. Role Lock does

I've recently been playing mostly 6v6 since there I feel I don't have that much pressure on tank (especially with counters). I'm trying to focus on an specific pool of 4-5 heroes to try to deal with different situations. And while it has been better than in 5v5, the open queue format usually gives you teammates who won't switch, and you sometimes end up with even 4 DPS!

personally I like 5v5 because it’s less team reliant and playing solo queue just feels miserable the more you have to rely on your team

Yes. I'm sick and tired of going in as a tank with my team behind me, getting 2 or 3 enemies down to one shot, then dying because my team broke off to go fuck around instead of pushing with me and following up or supporting.

“ People don’t like shooting shields the whole time in 6v6” <br><br>Meanwhile, in 5v5 dva can eat every projectile known to man

for me i find if i do 6v6 im more likely to play tank because i feel like having a second tank means there’s less pressure on me to make space. also there’s less of a need to counterswap all the time
