Profession restriction in team arena

Why is there still no number restriction regarding types of professions?

In my opinion you should not be allowed to have the same profession more than once in your team. If this system were in place, the OP classes would not be THAT significant.

Sure, you can say that the same profession with another build is no problem.
Whats your opinion on that?

Justin has been looking into ways to make rosters more balanced. He’s mentioned placing users with dishonored together in queue (what a terrible place to be!), spreading professions more evenly, and a few other things.

In theory, the idea sounds awesome! I’ve personally been on quite a few solo queue rosters of myself + 4 of the same profession – and it’s definitely not fun. The obvious downside here is that every filter he creates is going to extend queue times that much more.

Justin created a thread on this topic already and has asked what you guys feel would be an acceptable queue time, assuming the matches were more healthy and balanced based on these filters.
