Hi, My moniker is “xenterex”, I post on the forums when people make assertions that are demonstrably wrong. I have this magical observation that people that spout lies, disconnect themselves from ‘common ground’ with other people, and pretend they’re experts on things they are not tend to have perpetually bad experiences.

rage thread isn’t about aram same hero complaints, but it is in all-caps, so it all looks that same.

Whitemane asaram OP isn’t complaining, nor are the comments affirming it is ‘universally hated’
I don’t have any issue with mirror matches, I often enjoy many of them. However mirror healer can get quite annoying and long…
The topic was regarding the uniqueness of all-hero as they hadn’t had one before.
While you said “30 topics here”, I extended the same curtesy to reddit as I generally don’t bother with it and was wondering if people actually were complaining about it on reddit.
They aren’t. At least, not in a language I’m literate in.
Even when I look for dedicated hate-threads, the comments aren’t universal, they aren’t a majority, and they generally pale in comparison to representation for indifference or enjoyment for the mode.
There is a similar experience that can be found here: the amount of people hating it is significantly lower than other replies. Even if I were to lump in suggestions to improve the mode (removing heroes, reducing frequency, etc) in as ‘complaints’, it is still far lower than other forms of participation.
It is a demonstrable vocalized minority generally advocated by players that are: ignorant, lying, and/or delusional.
It is not a ‘twisted white-knight syndrome’ to point out that people spreading falsehoods tend to be the ones that are making things bad for themselves, and likely others around them. As someone who knows that HotS’s game-quality is in want due to a lack of skilled players, I’d prefer to put in an iota of effort to try to get players to be more aware of actual issues instead of the ones they scapegoat instead.
MVP, or ‘forced 50’ or a myriad of other complaints on game quality generally all suffer from similar issues, and it’s not from “white knight syndrome”. However, it is significantly easier for people to invent things to blame than bother to read, learn to play better, or ask questions on how something actually works instead of relying on hyperbole and fantasy.
Turns out, much of those same qualities also influence ‘real life’ and life magically gets better when people learn to curb their complaint cycles instead of fueling their un-useful impulsive superstitions.
