Match meeting would greatly improve if you limit each match to two attackers only

Or any role but attackers are the worst

    Haven't you said this before?

    I have to disagree

    Don't limit my Pokemon because someone else is an Attacker

    We should be able to be whatever role we want

    You know, me and @Dragonfly102024 play together, and whenever multiple people are playing the same role, we'll switch to a Pokemon that role and say "This role needed!"

    Most of the time others get the message and switch to that role and we're all that role and it's a whole lot of fun!

    And normally it is Attackers that we do (when I'm part of the group, anyways) and most of the time we still win

    But even when we lose we had fun and that's all that really matters

    I disagree. Please do not limit roles.

    Even just yesterday, in a master level random queued ban/draft style ranked match my team ended up with three defenders (Articuno, Vaporeon, Umbreon), one speedster (Zeraora) and one attacker (Cinderace). We went up against more well rounded team roles who actually followed and used the "meta" typical choices like Typhlosion, etc. Guess who won? We did. There were good battles during the match, pretty back and forth until we started pulling ahead halfway through.

    In other recent ranked matches (same solo queued masters ban draft style) with me as defender and four attackers. We won.

    The same has happened with thee attackers on our random teams. We won.

    Now, it doesn't always happen, but the fact is YOU CAN STILL WIN. I say communication and working together is how we pulled it off, even though none of us had played together before.

    So, in summary, please do not limit or put restrictions on roles that are allowed to play in any type of match or stadium beyond the participants choices/votes for that round's bans and for special stadium events where only certain licenses can be used (i.e. Eevee Festival, Kanto Stadium, Johto Stadium etc.)

    Thank you.
