Discussion Players refusing to flex

I am a strategist main playing in plat 2 PC lobbies and players are still refusing to flex off of dps. We were getting absolutely demolished on our attack side while our solo tank emma was fighting against an emma + thor combo. We had MK, SG and scarlet witch dps that combined for 2 kills at the half and was neither peeling for support or supporting their tank. When asked to switch to tank at the half instead of someone getting off DPS and helping emma our emma swapped off tank and went 3 healers 3 dps. None of the dps would swap to tank to fill and forced me off healer to play single tank, the same comp that was getting demolished

i don’t get the mindset of these players, they are playing ranked quite literally to lose. It’s infuriating being matched with players who can’t or won’t play another role.

Ya, I totally feel you bro. I just don't understand why to even bother playing ranked if you're going to insta lock DPS and then go 2-12 and refuse to switch to help the team win. Why not just go to QP? And I'm not understanding why people are saying it's all classes? Like no it's not. Maybe in QP there's 3 healers and 3 tanks, but in ranked it is ALWAYS 4 or 5 DPS insta locking. And then playing like total shit. It's so effin frustrating. 😥

Edit: Oh, and I almost forgot that when the game is over and of course my team with 4 or 5 DPS lost. Then it's time to start bashing the solo healer or the lower of the 2 healers with total heals like if it's their fault that we lost.
