Anyone else tired of auto-losses by composition?

You get to play with the same people a lot. You naturally make mental notes of who's good and bad.

the fact that this happens concerns me.

That, isn't a good thing. So if you get matched up with someone who you know is bad you either have to play twice as good to pick up their slack, give up or hope the enemy team is worse?

Welcome to FFXIV PVP.

Your other option is to play their job so you don't play with them anymore if you instaqueue back.

Regardless, in the end, everyone deals with the same MM. The best advice I can give people is to manage your expectations, focus on continuous self-improvement instead of short term goals and tamper your emotions. In the end, if the game's not fun, why bother?

Surprised noone has mentioned this yet on the forums despite how often I see people complain about it in game/youtube, but why can't we have minimum compositions? Not even overkill, but something like 1 tank, 1 heal, 2 melee dps, 2 ranged dps. Been annoying to go on Season 3 and still see 3 healer comps, 2-3 tanks and 1-2 heal comp where 60-80% of your team isn't dps and you realize after the first 2-3 minutes of shotcalling the match your team just flat out doesn't have the damage to kill anyone/push the crystal and you spend the next 3-4+ minutes struggling in vain because there's no surrender vote, 5 dps comps in Diamond/Crystal which is nearly auto-win with decent communication on picking a target, games with a healer and 4 range dps that has no frontline at all.

There's already RNG who's getting legit bronze and who gets ex-plat/diamond/crystal's on their team, already RNG to pray you don't see a win-trader or a person who's at 0-40k damage in a 5 minute match every 3 games because even in Gold you get put with Unranked ppl who have 0 pvp experience, can we at least get rid of one layer of RNG, and even we don't standardize dps grouping like pve, at least guarantee a tank each game?

yeah its pretty damn annoying, both this and cheating has got me treating ranked like casual XD

sounds like we're just better off letting CC die off, no point in getting a headache over it when the only people who CAN fix it wont fix it. side note, nobody is queing for rival wings and its been like....a whole week since patch? they will probably look at that and wonder wtf is going on.
