Bugs
-
Voice chat randomly adjusts the volume to 0 of random people in your party even if you haven’t physically adjusted it or muted them yourself.
-
Sometimes, you’ll attempt to queue up for a game and it will say “you have provided invalid selections to the matchmaker” and you have to relog to fix the issue. Other times it will say 4/4 ready but not searching and you’ll have to relog to fix it. There is an even weirder issue where certain players cannot select a hero and an empty space appears where the hero they selected should be.
-
For some people in parties, the ready button disappears after others have readied up and the cancel button and ability to change heroes is taken away until the mode is changed, or if every player readies up.
-
upon rejoining a game after a disconnection, party voice becomes unavailable, forcing everyone to switch to team voice. Sometimes, the voice fails to reconnect completely, but the failure to reconnect issue seems to have been fixed or improved.
-
Sometimes, you’ll select a skin and mount and the game sets your skin to default, leaving you with a pleb look and no skinergy.
-
When viewing someone’s profile (for example, tom#1345), and then checking another persons profile (jerry#2345), the rank of tom#1345 is wrongly displayed on jerry#2345’s profile as opposed to the correct rank, which would be jerry’s actual rank, not toms. Essentially, wherever the data is being stored, it is not being removed and updated properly.
Opinions

Quick match team compositions are unfair now that the specialists have been removed and that bruiser is now a class. A perfect example is a high damage bruiser vs. a lower damage bruiser is treated as equal, so you could get one team who has practically 2 assassins (thrall (bruiser) and ming, for example) against another team that has D.V.A. as their bruiser and valeera as their assassin. Instead of trying to balance 88 heroes in quick match, just give incentives for playing unranked draft so that it doesn’t have to be a dead game mode anymore.

The AI has gotten seemingly worse ever since the “improvements.” It seems that a healer thinks his team is there even though they are dead and stays around the enemy team running in circles waiting to heal his team that has already died. Pinging the AI leads it to follow one person and not heal the other players as a whole.
Conclusion & Request
Thank you for keeping the game and community alive even though the pro scene is gone. Most of these issues here are just small things, would love to see a new map and would take that 100% over all this.
