Please enforce 1 Tank, 1 Healer, 3 DPS in CC.

This entire system is total cancer. I have been trying to rank up past bronze for hours now, but for every Victory, there are 2 losses making it totally impossible!
The worst part is, its totally out of our hands if we get a Team who knows what their doing, or a team who stands around watching as you get 2v1ed into the ground (Literally watching, not attacking, not healing, not stunning, nothing, just doing nothing).

This feels like a constant one step forward, 2 steps back and its pushing my rage levels through the roof!

I'm starting to see problems arise when you're on a team of all DPS and the other team has the triad to win. While we can deal more damage, having CC and big heal options is a major advantage considering Solo Queue does not favor focus fire 90% of the time. The times that it does it matters.

As someone who has sat in queue for literal hours on end for a match due to role restriction, no thank you. Yes, the team with the all DPS cannot play the same way the team with the triad can. The DPS team, however, can easily pick off people way easier than the triad team. So if you are on an all DPS Team, place a marker on an enemy, they get CC'd a million times over, they die, rinse and repeat.

Its never going to be balanced because that is the nature of pvp and tanks are just weaker dps with CC. Healers are DPS with some healing. DPS have CC and self heals themselves. The parity between everyone is pretty even. I've gone in as a warrior, sage, bard, sam and mnk and honestly I didn't feel any advantageous playing any of them. The mode itself is pure chaos in a fun way and most of my wins have come up AGAINST teams with a "balanced" comp of dps tank and heals.

They will tweak it as they go, but the format overall is perfectly fine.

Perfectly fine? Ima say no to that one

Sounds like a you problem then I guess.

Everyone is a healer now. Healers are just supports now with WHM getting a big boom. Recuperate, guard, and standard-issue elixer are your friends. If you can't manage your own health bar without a healer after these amazing abilities, then it's definitely a you problem.

I've won and lost against 1 tank 1 healer 3 dps teams as a variety of different comps. The mode is chaotic and that makes it fun IMO.

While im really annoyed at alot of things right now I can probably say there is a large degree of xiv players who have never actively engaged in pvp games now trying to pvp. So large swathes of the playerbase we are being paired with dont understand things like "focusing tank bad" and running around corners LoS so you can Standard Elixir without getting cancelled, lining your cc up to burst when you see someone getting low. Alot of us expect these things as common sense. I feel like to many people we are getting put on teams with stuff like this is not infact common sense and its making some of us get irrationally annoyed.

The only thing they should restrict is similar comps get matched with similar comps. Restricting a pre determined cimp would make queue times longer.

Please for the love of god do this. How is this not a thing? Is it a bug? Someone up late drinking when planning this?

YOU NEED TO ENFORCE THE ROLES. Otherwise remove ranked as a concept from your game.

It was intentional and no they don't need to enforce roles. Role enforcement is one of the reasons feast had such long queues. EVERYONE has a heal and a shield and some form of defensive CD that heals or reduces damage by half. Most of ya'lls complaints are straight up L2P issues. Heck I spent like 2 hours yesterday doing nothing but dueling (was awesome and a ton of fun btw. Shame wolves den will empty out in a few days) and it was clear as day that a lot of FFXIV players really don't know how to pvp. Out of the dozens of fights I think I only lost like 3 or 4 of them and that was mostly me just being unfamiliar with how to fight the paladin or just unluckily bad timing and getting bursted down by a nin or mnk. Most everyone else just threw out stuns without any forethought and popping CD's at bad times making it stupid easy to avoid any burst they could throw out.
