The flaw in matchmaking is that you do not have to be as good as your rank in all roles.

This is why it is a flaw. The game is a team game that revolves around being able to play multiple heroes. If we had a system in place that pushed you to play multiple roles to get placed into higher matchmaking, then we would not have as many issues as we do now. We need a new type of matchmaking that can deal with this issue instead of just having one that was made for games that are more set in stone.

 

A truly good player who deserves to be placed in a rank like Masters should be able to play most heroes with a certain average in stats consistently. If we pushed to raise three different SR scores that are added together for one total, then we would see less and less players who one-trick. One-tricking is not a horrible concept, but at some point if this system were used, you would hit a wall of gaining SR with said hero.
