Alternative to 2-2-2 Role Queue

I know the 2-2-2 Role Queue is quite a heated topic. While I have been on the side that is for Role Queue, I would like to offer up another idea and see what people think of it as something INSTEAD of 2-2-2 Role Queue.

The idea is: changing comp to be forced 6-man teams and require the use of the Looking For Group tool if you and your group do not have a full 6-man team.

I really think this would remove a lot of the concern that people have around the 2-2-2 Role Queue, while also improving the state of Comp by quite a bit. As is, the LFG tool works quite well, it's just not used much. If everyone was using it, it would work even better, as finding 6 people wouldn't take nearly as long. Sure it adds extra time to starting a Comp game, but that is ok because Quick Play is made for jumping into a game "Quickly". Also, Quick Play would not have any sort of restriction like this. No Role Queue, no required LFG (could still use it though if you'd like).

This, like the Role Queue, will come with a "learning" curve. People need to adjust to using QP when they just want to hop on for a couple games and hop off, while using Comp only when they want to be a bit more serious about the game. I think the enforcement of the LFG tool will help this because Comp suddenly requires some time up front.

​

What are your thoughts on this idea? If this has been posted about before, I apologize. Frankly, since I talked with another user about this in a comment chain, I love this idea and think it's the best of both worlds.
