Heroes of the Storm Patch Notes — September 20, 2023

How’s it going, it’s only been two years.

Also I see you’re trying to pacify the divided player base with the aram adjustment. It’s a step in the right direction but not a solution. You might convince someone like me who plays many games in this mode to sit through the match but it won’t stop more casual individuals from quitting after the loading screen which immediately ruins the game for everyone.

Disable it completely or introduce an opt-in button. Another solution would be to introduce a draft reroll vote button only in case of a mirror. Unless six out of ten players vote in favor, the match goes on and everyone who leaves or skips the vote gets reported automatically. Technically it wouldn’t be any worse than afking during hero selection, which can ruin the match just as much.

With OW2 becoming available on Steam, other games are sure soon to follow. You’ll eventually need to think of a better and more permanent solution to this problem, but that will require more effort than changing several numbers.
