    I dont play melee well. I've actually started the season as a ninja and played it till I got 100 wins, but that dropped my win rate to early 40s. The amount of failed LBs was staggering, because of stuns, attunements, out of reach, on full health, or because I noticed Testudo icon too late. It was not fun and I was guaranteed to die first 30 sec every match even without blood for blood. Now if I'll start monk from zero I'll only lose ratings because mastering job requires time, something we dont have much left. So I'm playing a warrior because of mix of easy gameplay, fast ques and everyone ignoring me, at least till I get 4 stacks. But tradeoff is RNG roulette of who'll be in my and enemy team. Around 1800 points rating is starting to backfire because if I'm highest rated in my team then the enemy team will likely have higher rated dps who are more influential than a tank.

    Such is the life of a melee, you either kill the opposing melee or are killed yourself as the first death of the game assuming the healers aren't new/inexperienced. This is part of the reason why ranged and tanks are so much more popular than melee as ranged are given defensive buff 95% of the time at the start of matches and tanks are generally ignored unless they accumulate more than 4 stacks. As you said its probably too late now to learn another job but if you bother with season 4 you could consider lvling/using a ranged. MCH or BRD best bet maybe, with BRD requiring the least amount of skill thus quickest job to pick up and learn in there. I'm not sure on MCH I left mine at 55 months ago and don't plan on finishing it anytime soon. Beware the queues though, idk how it is on Chaos but the ranged queues are straight garbage here on primal compared to melee which is why I just keep queuing as DRG (I know i know loldrg queue as mnk or gtfo) .
