Currently blizzard is letting this game die. Which is unfortunate because I used to really love this game. But they have basically made it so skill doesn’t count for much anymore. They added so much CC to the game that now matches are just won by whoever has more. They have characters like li ming that can do thousands of damage from a screen away, has resets and a teleport on a low cd (she’s far far too broken and requires little to no skill). They have KT who does thousands of damage by just clicking on people and requires little to no skill. Quick match’s team build rarely makes even teams either. Most of the time there is either no tank or no healer. Your lucky if you get in the game and the teams even match each other’s class types. Theres unranked but they let the game die so hard not enough people play it to get a game in a reasonable amount of time. I’ve played this game for 10 years and I’m very sad to see what it has become.
Ranked game is the best mode. You don’t balance a game for QM.
I’ve had that exact thought enter my head several times since 2015… So, I’m not sure what would have tipped you over the edge into thinking that later on. Now we have cleanses and several other ways to save heroes from stuns roots and slows.
“current” state of the game?
It was sacked years ago. Did you not get that memo?
Quick match doesn’t magically create players to fill roles, people have to fill those roles. Matching is broken because people left the game because they repeat the same things for years on end and just look for something easy to blame, all the while claiming that they ‘loved’ said thing.
If anything, people are trying to drown in shallow copium because the ‘current’ state of the game is seeing the most consistent changes the game has experienced in years. Brawlshave returned, patches get a ptr test phase, and ‘bugs’ are getting fixed in thematic batches.
No offense meant. Like at all.
But this seems like the point of view of a player who has started recently, or plays rarely, and doesn’t play ranked.
Li Ming is not broken,. If she was, she would be picked or banned in almost every game. She isn’t. All her abilities but E are skill shots that can be dodged.
KT requires the skill to not get killed when you get close enough to use his abilities. Because he has to get pretty close to use them.
they are doing a very poor job of letting the game die all things considered.
ranked system is dead too, bad matchmaking and full of trolls playing alone who are paired with you while ur entire enemy team is of smurfs in team. I dont have anything against smurf playing in team but, why im being paired with the trolls and the bronze 5 against them?
Anyway about the post, there are not broken heroes, it only depends if you learn or nog how to play against them and with your heroes. Qm players are usually bad by nature, they’re are even worst than bronze 5 so there is no reason to cry about them.
Blizzard as a company is dead
I always enjoyed unranked, wish people still played it
There’s literally no point of that game mode existing when you have ranked.
In theory, it avoids QM’s issue with stacks, and ranked’s issue with people getting mad that they lost virtual points. But I remember there were more trolls in unranked than ranked (maybe reports there were worth even less, or it was just appealing to waste more of people’s time) so I can somewhat see why it died.
Well, we can just reuse that button at this point, change Unranked to “Slow Match”, where teams have 100 mmr difference at most and are willing to wait forever.
