limiting number of roles per scenario
Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2021 7:16 am
pretty sure this might have been suggested already, but what about capping the amount or roles in each scenario in order ot have more balanced gameplay?
i am referring specifically to the amount of healer/tanks/dps that can join in each scenario. for instance, in a 6v6, you can have maximum 2 healer and 2 tanks (no minimum), in 12v12, 3 healers and 3 tanks etc etc.
the main advantage of this change would be to create a more balanced scenario environment, avoiding the situation in which one side has 4-5 healers and 4-5 tanks in a 10-12 man scenario and that side becomes pretty much unkillable, resulting in a one-sided stomp. this situation is pretty common, I would say it happens around 90% of the cases, especially in 16-39 scenarios.
The main drawback of this suggestion is obviously queue waiting time, as the system needs to match players based on role, and not just throwing anything in. However, personally, I would definitely have longer waiting times in exchange for a more balanced experience, rather than popping 3 scenarios in which one side just stomps the other relentlessly.
