I think matchmaking especially in ranked will do better if its made position based especially in the higher ladders assuming there are people who queue up without a full team, like for example having a team full of 4 players wanting to be a striker wouldnt be a ideal scenario for a team. But if you were to have to where there is a balance based on position preference, I feel it will bring a better experience long term and a better grasp on playing their roles. That's also where MMR comes in and increase/decrease based on performance in that position, because I feel like the ranked matchmaking is also inconsistent as the skill level isnt always equal despite the rank tiers

Thats what I mean though, some players like to play positions etc.

Yeah I disagree with assigning positions. I like the idea of the meta defining itself not assigning positions. With 4 field players, you can play a 3-1, 2-2, 1-3, 2-1-1 etc… so how would you assign that? 2 attackers 2 defenders? Then who’s playing the midfield? 1 attacker 1 midfielder 2 defenders? Who gets the ball on the wing? To many different ways to play before just telling people where they are “supposed” to be ya know

Fair, I'm just thinkingon playstyles too but I see your point
