But I do outperform my opponent's melee role. I do more damage than them, I focus heavy medal targets, but I don't win. Because I can't kill anything without the support of my ranged DPS and the help of a tank to interrupt the...wait for it...healer! DPS roles just can't climb unless the entire team outperforms, not just the single role. Other people can hit their 3 buttons just as much as I can, the game doesn't show me that I'm hitting mine better unless "Victory" is on my screen.

The only two roles I see that can climb easily by outperforming are tanks and healers. That's kinda why the top 100 are nearly all tanks and healers. You're right on the money about the lack of skillful execution, and the overall PvP design. I agree with you there 100%.
