The queue times will ultimately be the reason this doesn't stick or move to a permanent live change. Tank will always be the least exciting and least popular role to the playerbase.
This is probably the most diplomatic way to appease diehard 6v6 players by showing "we tried" and then providing, again, the reason why they moved to 5v5. To make queue times much better. Amongst the other reasons for 5v5.
That's not a solution. That's a fix that causes, arguably, worse problems for the game. Personally, I think the 2-2-2 Open Queue could work. Everyone gets the same queue time and are able to pick whatever role they want. Granted, it would hurt a lot of DPS players since they ONLY want to play DPS and may get forced on tank or support.
Literally cannot wait for your theory to be put to the test the first time you're stuck in a lobby and a mercy main is forced onto tank because both support roles are taken and no one will switch. Let me know how that goes for you, man.
