One change to QM please Blizzard

Please do not pair Abby with any stealth assassin (Valeera, Zeratul, Samuro and Nova) in a game without a tank. They can pretty much 100 - 0 anyone with ease.

As a master of Zeratul, a game like this is pretty cancerous. And it’s very frustrating for new players, squishy heroes, and players who are trying out a new hero.

Any thoughts?

They need to get rid of mirror matches again

Aba is so strong with so many. I see him in 25% - 35% of my matches. I would like to see his power budget shifted somewhere else.

You could say the same thing for lots of heroes not just stealthies.

imagine asking for QM to be fair and balanced…

yea but so far, stealth heroes are the worst. Other you can still play safe.

Uh, nice. It’s been a while since I posted this. All credit to original poster.

Repeat after me:

Quick Match is not Balanced.
Quick Match will not be Balanced.
Quick Match will NEVER be Balanced.

I don’t enjoy being blunt about it, but that is the hardcore fact that just is not getting through here. The problem is not that there are teams getting all sorts of CC while another isn’t, the problem is that the players are expecting all the benefits of drafting without actually drafting.

Seriously. Mobas with a large roster are designed from the start to go through a drafting process. You pick your team, you pick them to work together with each other, and hopefully develop some sort of overarching strategy to deal with the enemy team whether it’s hard lane pushing or dive compositions. In addition, you can also get the chance to ban characters that would pose a problem for your intended strategy.

That doesn’t take place with Quick Match. All that mode was designed to be was one where you could pick a character, and just be assured that you could play that character in the game that you got. It could be with a group of characters that work well, or it could be in a group that doesn’t. This also means that you get tons of players playing the characters that they want, rather than what the team needs… So you get a lot of hot-shot DPS players complaining they don’t get any help or healing because no one wants to go tank/healer.

Seriously, the problem is not the mode, it’s the people who don’t understand what the mode really is… Just a quick way to get into a match by completely bypassing the drafting process.

And every attempt to have the computer even attempt rudimentary drafting for you has just sent the queue times skyrocketing to the point where the devs revert them.

Repeat after me: Quick Match is not Balanced. Quick Match will NEVER be balanced.

What does this mean? :thinking:

He may be the reincarnation of secant.

I have to admit i have reghod PTSD, is it that good right now?

Trust me, if Abathur hats Reghar - you will suffer a lot, if you are not a tank.

Yo be fair, the game’s QM rules says that it will try to not pair stealth heroes with Aba, those are usually parties that have the heroes together.

Have you ever tried abathur with tickle beam?
Must hurt like hell with twilight archon though.
