This game has become a total disappointment. It started really promising several years ago, but lately, in my opinion, its slowly diyng.
Ever since the 2.0 version the devs are more interested in sprays, portraits and banners, rather than trying to improve the gaming mechanism.
Ranked is full of trolls or afk-ers who just want “to have fun”. They ignore the team in taking objectives and defending. For me the last games in ranked ended in utter deafeats in less then 12-13 minutes.
QM has a very twisted and frustrating matchmaking system (3 supp, aba, tracer vs 2 tanks, 1 assa, 1 spec, 1 heal … for example).
For me, after 4200+ games in HOTS, there’s no more fun in playing this game.
I recently received a ban until today, november 12, for Abusive Language.
YES, I deserved the ban, but its really frustrating to play with teammates, even high level ones, who completly ignore the team, play badly and intentionally die. Its hard for me to hold my tongue against them.
As I said, I completly deserved the ban, but I wonder, what is blizzard doing against the trolls, afkers and “suicide bombers” that are ruininng the gameplay experience and force certain other players to backlash at them with abusive chat. I see that this game is getting full of such bad players by the day and blizzard is NOT doing anything to solve this.
I think I’m gonna do what most of the players are doing and thats leaving the game for good.
Gonna try Dota 2. See how that works out
