I think it was a good compromise from whatever Dev is working on Hots. Itâs also a demonstration that the Devâs do listen to community complaints.

Clearly the dev got sick of getting so many aram mirrors on their own account and only happened to have made a change people requested without reading anywhere for community feedback

Oh Xen, now youâve given perfectly crafted material for the âded gameâ posters to copypasta.
Tin foil hats away!

Funny how all these forum warriors told me I was wrong saying mirror matches produced toxicity and AFK nearly 100% of the games
At least someone at Blizzard came to their senses.
Mirror matches need to go, some of us actually like Aram mod and we want an RNG choice, not RNG win

Iâm going on a limb here to guess youâre the sort who runs multiple accounts so âyouâ may have claimed that but⌠thereâs not much evidence to actually support what you claim as âMadcatâ
You have two posts regarding aram mirrors so the only one that has you saying its [implied] âtoxicâ is your own topic requesting the removal. Only one person replied to you. âall these forum warriors telling meâ 
âForum warriorsâ is a flag youâre not really reading anything people actually post and are just feeling it out on impulse. That probably happens in other things youâre doing too 
I doubt you could find anyone that actually told someone âyouâre wrongâ about âaram toxicityâ from mirror matches. What you could find is people saying that their experiences arenât âEvery gameâ â as hyperbole is the obvious norm â or that they donât distinguish any toxicity from their regular games from mirror. I can point at that as that has been my own experiences that Iâve shared: when I get games with the same people, the ones that were problematic in my mirrors were also problematic outside of it.
Mirror aram is easy to blame and people tend to neglect actual comparisons to their other modes because theyâre just looking for something to fault. Feel free to dislike it, but ârng winâ is just as applicable to standard aram. Did you rng the players that arenât trolling; did you rng a better healer/tank, did you rng duplicates of top-tier aram picks? Did you rng a hero you know how to play, or did you get murky/butcher/valeera against a team of mass sieging mages?
Some of us like actually like people that are willing to read and we want discussions, not mindless digression.
Sure there are posts regarding âtoxicityâ but they arenât by [you] or to [you]. If youâre going to make assumptions by bad lumping, then thatâs probably also the case for your aram games too: you arenât making distinctions to suit the complaints because thatâs not the thing youâre looking to find.

Man dont act like you ARAM players are any better lol. When I was still playing this game I had alot of people that would leave normal ARAM games just because player with only healer option did not pick it or someone got mad his team had no tank while enemy has.
Or best of all. People leaving cause they are facing 3x KT combo and his own team has no healer.
You are still going to leave any ARAM games that dont suit you should it be a mirror or not just like anyone has done since day 1. And that is a fact !
Complaining about mirrors but still leaves normal ARAMS. The Irony.
Regardless of your option you are still the minority in this case. For every two players like you who want it removed there are 8 others who want it to stay.
And btw. Calling everyone who disagree with you for forum warriors just proves right off the bat that you are a troll.
Even if devs cared enough to remove it you would just find something new to cry about in ARAM.
If your claim would be true⌠wouldnât they remove it completely? If it creates toxicity and afk ppl.
But ofc, everybody can claim that change happened for their reasons, and not because of something else entirely.
But at least you think the devs did something smart (which obviously only happens if they at least partially listen to something aligning with your own vague reasoning).
And you showed it to the âforum warriorsâ!.. who also said the devs prob should lower its frequency, as a good compromiseâŚ
Alternatively they could introduce mirror matches with a significantly higher occurrence rate for player parties of three and more to make them think twice about how much theyâre ruining the game for others.

hey now, my request was to remove select heroes, so clearly the devs donât listen to me.
Gosh Karabaraba, itâs almost like my sardonic post is just rephrasing what you posted, but sardonically.
this post has been sponsored by the ânot everything is sarcasmâ committee as clearly my shill content has patrons /kappa

Hi Madcat, My avatar is named âXenterexâ.
You are at the point where youâre going to start asserting that âforum warriorsâ are ganging up on you because more than one person has now replied to you, and they arenât agreeing with what you have said.
You have made an accusation that someone âkept telling youâ something that is inconsistent with what they actually post. You are demonstrating cognitive dissonance.
Hereâs an example of the contradiction you are trying to impose:
QueenB has held that stance that a minority of players keep complaining about things and will do so until âeverythingâ is removed from the game. They do not have a stance that such change will ânever comeâ because theyâre of the opinion that the devs listen too much to those sort of complaints.
Now there is something that has been said about âneverâ for HotS and thatâs regarding the âsurrenderâ request.
Your flag for falling back on calling a âforum warriorâ is a bad crutch that causes you to excuse poor reading habbits. You have tired to claim things that are not true under scrutiny. Part of why âForum warriorsâ may speak out against particular complaints is due to the tendency for complainers to believe incorrect information and then fault others for their own inaccuracy.
Now, Iâm posting this, not to âDefendâ a âForum Warriorâ but to act on my own philosophy/conviction. I have been of the opinion that people that frequency complain about something â when using incorrect information â are hiding the realization that they are creating the unwanted experience for themselves. I am hoping that pointing out moments of people lacking self-awareness could have some magical realization when they notice that they are the ones creating the incongruity they project at others. Hopefully, when anyone reduces the weight of their âcognitive dissonanceâ theyâve made, theyâll be able to function better, and be more likely to enjoy things that theyâve otherwise associated with a bad time.
And while this is a âneedlessly long postâ, I do so hope that occasionally someone else will bother to read through all the âword saladâ I posted and realize how little moments like these happen in all the rest of their day, and then learn to be a little more cognizant of perspective and actions in life and apply the realization to other moments.
The more you know!

Finally someone gets me!
Yâknow going from 5% to 2% is not that huge of a leap. RNG win was and still a thing.

No kidding bro. Me, The Lockness Monster, Sasquatch, and some weird bald guy with eye problems that claimed to be from Area 51 were getting cheesed off from all the mirror matches we were getting. Completely ruined the mood when we were trying to relax, throw back some beers, while simultaneously playing long distance ouiji board shenanigans (it was the weird guyâs idea).
So glad they reduced it. Now, I just need to figure out how to get out of where I am at. Lots of fire everywhere, excessive amounts of screaming, and some weird guy who looks to have been out in the sun way too long keeps trying to get me to sign a contract with my blood.

In 7 years or so of HOTS, never once I have play an Aram. And I donât intend to, it just doesnât speak to me.
As so itâs a kind of mystical land for me, and all those passionate debates about same heroes fuel my imagination !

What I consider an argument is when 2 sides have a valid point
Defending this awful feature never had any good arguments. We all knew it was wrong, you guys just wanted an argument for the sake of it - forum warriors.
My last 20 mirror matches had at least 1 AFK at the start, actually some games would instantly stop because entire team would bail.
And then you clowns have the nerve to say it didnât happen.
Well excuse me, I donât live in your imaginary world, I say it like it is.
You were wrong to defend it, you were wrong to attack people that didnât want it. (that would be 99% of us)

Do I have to point out the obvious
Itâs one thing for 5 people to get Genji and not have the mechanics for it, or pick one of 3 heroes you actually know how to play instead of being at the mercy of who actually knows these niche heros.
Donât even get me started on that shuriken siege
There is a difference between calculated risk and just creating unplayable matches where your team may or may not know how to use tracer.
Still waiting for one good argument - but itâs always the sky is purple with you guys
