I corrected his misspelling of brawls being written off not as a denial but out of annoyance having to read yet another off-topic post. I’m more of a “hater” than all of you combined and recently received the distinction of being called the most negative poster on a gaming forum by someone who claims to have twenty years of experience. Accordingly, I’m a blanket hater of this community’s so-called ideas. Like other gaming communities you’re largely aimless. Case in point, there’s not much to be done about matchmaking. The population is low, be thankful you still find the game playable without waiting for ten minutes.
None of you have great ideas - that’s part of the problem. The developers don’t either and unsurprisingly you can’t pressure them.
No one in this game understands where to look to at least try to unlock the potential of this game. No one has a sense for the big picture. Everyone looks at Heroes of the Storm through the narrow lens of their own experience. That’s why an obviously valuable change like giving players access to virtually as many heroes as they want of their own choice at an affordable rate doubling as an ownership payment flies over your heads at the same time some of you complain the game can’t make money. The Blizzard people with their noses buried in “the industry literature” can’t come up with a decent deal for players, instead they introduce loot boxes that they fill with sprays, banners, portraits, who knows what else, and they broke down skins into three separate versions while apparently greatly limiting the incidence of the more valuable and desirable items in these loot boxes. Some spreadsheet told them they did alright the same way a spreadsheet told them they had success with the anomalies.
It’s embarrassing. Between the people behind the scenes who get paid to have ideas and the people here and on reddit who have been sinking with the ship you can’t scrape together half a brain and one ball.
How does no one understand that brawls, balance, matchmaking, anomalies, advertisement, and every God-forsaken thing you people talk about has no effect on the direction of the game? This game needs a core change to engage players, not just another gripe or minor idea. Otherwise it will remain in the scrap heap its own company put it in. Everyone knew the game was declining.
By the way, who remembers they might have been working on Guilds? The community liked that idea! A lot of people were optimistic about the future of the game until what should have been common sense reared its ugly head. This game is not good enough; it needs change. It has promising elements but it’s not pushed forward.
