Switching Disciplines/Roles in 3.0

[SaintLegend]

Bioware, after watching the last dev twitch episode it was mentioned that while in warzones players will not be able to switch "disciplines" and the reasoning behind this decision as put by the developer is that during a ranked arena it would prove unfair because you guys use an algorithm to match roles. I agree with this very good decision (if it to worked..). The problem that exists now is that there is NO role matching for regular warzones. Quite often players on a team with no support classes find themselves in matches where they are up against a well compositioned team that includes tanks and healers as well as supporting dps. If that opposing team uses common sense during that warzone chances are your team will lose. The ability to change your discipline during a "regular" warzone would help to alleviate this problem. Hence I say, separate your fix for one problem from the "TWO" that exist. What say you community?

They did fix the problem by making you unable to switch specs in WZ's.

 

People would cap 2 nodes in ACW for example and then all switch to tanks/healers and turtle up. Juggs would all the sudden all become tanks in HB (and this was back when they could use Unstoppable in Soresu). All DPS for attack in VS and then they would all become heals/tanks on defense. People complained so they changed it.

 

I seriously doubt they will change it back.

They said in the stream that they considered allowing it during pre-game, but the problem comes down to arenas and he said he doesn't even know if they are capable of coding it in a way to separate all that so its probably just going to remain as it is now where you cannot respec when in queue or when in a match.
