Matchmaking is ridiculous half of the time, you can end up with a party that consists of just ranged vs a team of melee which make is impossible to push the objective. It's a guaranteed loss for you team and it's so unfun. I would rather have longer queue times but balanced teams of melee ranged tank and healer than the current state of getting stomped cause the comps a mess.
Idk man. I win more with bunch dps more than normal set party lol. CC is more like to learn to bait and burst damage single target. Learn what need to burst down first is the key to win match. Since all job is tank/healers. No job strict is great to make queue time short.
The problem isn't having full DPS, it's if they have 3 or 4 melee character and you have 1, that's game for you. You cannot point push at all. It feels like they balanced around Tank healer DPS but didn't pay attentions to melee vs ranged.
Idk what party set up you have be with. But so far I know 1melee/tank+4range vs 4melee/tank+1range didn't have much trouble to win or actually I pref 4 range with me more XD. Since most of tank(pld,war,gnb)/melee(rpr,mnk,sam) damage is slow build and need to get close first. So is easy to counter with CC which is already high chance to kill off 1-2player right away once.
CC has inbuilt party system, but it is bit flawed. Each sub-role will be considered when making teams so that no team can have 0 phys ranged vs 2 phys ranged or 1v3 etc. they are always within +/- 1. However since casters and phys ranged count separately and healers and tanks aren't considered in melee/ranged balance you can end up with rather lopsided teams when it comes to ranged and melee.
If they are tweaking the system, then range vs melee is less important than making Tanks and Healers take similar slot in priority to reduce 1T1H3D vs 5D teams or other mixes with higher T and H numbers.
Playing mass range vs melee sounds more like skill issue for the team, anyone can push the objective. If the ranged aren't capitalizing on their reach and easier swapping of targets or punishing melee clumping up around one person then that's their problem.
I have rarely seen that a problem in casual because the matchmaker seems to actually match what it considers support/tank against each other (healers and tanks, although some healers like SGE are definitely not tank material but well...), and also tries to spread melees and ranged around. This is however a mega problem in ranked at times because the player pool is too small so when it can't do that, it just does whatever, and it's a disaster. Try holding a point with BLM/SMN/BRD/MCH/SGE, that's pretty funny.
