How can i stop our team from getting wiped early with all-damage picks?

My team keeps getting wiped in the first five minutes of a match because we all pick damage heroes and nobody wants to switch. I feel like I should be the one to fill as a tank or support, but then I'm stuck in a role I don't enjoy for the whole game just to have a chance.

Last night I finally volunteered to play tank for a game. We still lost, but we didn’t get wiped inside the first five minutes. We managed a couple of trades and I could pull attention long enough for them to land a few shots. It was exhausting and not something I want to do every game, but it felt doable for a few minutes at a time.

We kept to DPS and got wiped in the first five minutes again. I suggested a tank or support swap, but everyone shrugged and stayed put. It felt like a stalled debate that never happened, and the early defeat was decided before anyone really changed anything.

Do you think the real problem is the comp or the way we talk about it? I’ve seen us overthink or shrug off the issue and nothing changes?

I did try support for one map, kept people alive a bit longer and we didn't get demolished immediately, but the momentum still collapsed soon after. It reminded me that even small wins feel hollow if the rest of the team refuses to lean into it.
