Salt Mines - Deposit all your anger here!

excessive blizz white knighting won’t help. I noticed i get win streaks followed by loss streaks on repeat. The more i win the worse allies i get till i cant carry anymore.

Nice going MM

A group of 3 and 2, the 3 consists of nova, val and zera then imp and naz

our group, all solo players all randomly selected, got 4 mages: Jaina, KT, Guldan and Ming and Gaz

Couldn’t even get a kill in with all their stealth and even using abilities to try find them… to effing late with all the damn stealth going around.

Seriously… just match solo players with solo players… not that effing hard to code

True, but not enough players to make it viable again, so nope.

To the enemy Naz that got carried by Valla and Illidan. Imagine thinking you are any good when your two most played heroes you got 2000+ games on only have 1.7 kda and negativ winrate on both LOL.

You can spam your Nexus spray as much you want but true is you only won cause Valla and Illidan got all the kills while you feeded to a 3-11 score.

But how has a player like not been banned for feeding yet lol. If you got 2000+ games and have 1.7 kda then you die 10 times more then you kill. That has to be a ban reason.

But I guess players like him will keep on feeding for another 2k games before he gets a ban lol.

To the enemy diablo using the mexcian wrestler skin having the max taunt rank. I’m sure glad you kept spamming your taunt after every kill in hopes of pissing people off, you can taunt your way to the defeat screen cause Karma is a b****. Was fun killing you just as many times though.

to the person of questionable intellect in my last game that decided to try and abuse chogall ai, remember your supposed to control cho and disconnect the gall, and if you somehow screw that up again, please remember to not ping yourself as it over rides my ping and your dumb ai will let you sit in base until someone pings you again.

Not enough players to match solo vs solo, group vs group. What I do think is they should change in the rules for grouped players to disallow the creation of double or triple stealth comps. Solo teams are only ever allowed to have a single stealth hero, so this is something that should for sure be changed, it’s total cheese.

I find this hard to understand. I get it many people just enjoy playing with a certain hero, but I’ve seen an Abathur with 5000+ games in QM with a lifetime WR of 42%. I was matched with him and he was terrible. I am bad at many heroes and those I take out on rare occasions, not thousands of games or even hundreds.

I dont understand how people can play such huge quantity of games on heroes they fail so hard with and still enjoy the experience? Let alone as you said, get carried an then taunt/spray the enemy.

i’m a pretty good kharazim at my skill level yet my WR is only 47% lifetime (38% this season) in QM. some hero’s only function with certain playstyles and if your team isn’t on board then your severely kneecapped. I can’t tell you how many times someone would run away from me while i was running at them with palm/heal. yes if i got dashes im gonna dash you, doesn’t mean i always have dash’s or you shouldn’t make it easier for me to heal you lol.

far as tuant/spray, well sometimes people will take any oppurtunity to gloat, especially when they dont get them often cuase they are bad. that person doesn’t care they got carried, only that they finally get to participate in the banter as the winner. its kinda the same thing as that chad that sprays/tuants when they are playing your direct counter. like ok gratz, your hero was built to counter mine, so when you gonna show me some skill by dongling on my team mates? oh right, you can’t cuase your not actually good at the hero, your just playing with an advantage against me.

47% isn’t dreadful at all and I’m pretty sure it’s not like that Abathur player I saw and others with 5000+ games on the hero at a 42% or worse I saw one at 34%. As a tank and healer main, I know your pain of heroes running from your heals, it doesn’t even have to be an ULT you want to cast. I also agree with you 100% that some heroes need a team to cooperate more than others to be effective.

I was responding to Froggy’s example of the Nazeebo, a hero that’s pretty self sufficient and in my experience with him usually does pretty fine in most QM comps. He has some decent self sustain choices at four, 2 good and 1 great damage mitigation tools at 13, his biggest weakness is to dive and his lack of mobility.

I guess this makes sense. I’m someone who never remembers to even use sprays (my method to remember was it was T for trash), except to thank my healer or tank I’ll throw one at their feet. So in short, sorry if I came off as judgemental, if I looked at your stats with Kara, I wouldn’t judge them, it’s has to be far more extreme, I’m hardly the best player out there.

thats fair, just wanted to point out an example since most people think that being good at a hero means stupid high WR, which i’m more inclined to accept in SL since you have a bit more control of the situation you find yourself in. QM i give more latitude, especially with the more exotic hero’s. also one doesn’t need to be good at a hero to enjoy them. my diablo is awful but its still fun to wallbang and apoc combo people.

no worries, it didn’t come off that way to me. i felt your question was honest and in good faith :heart:

Games so much fun. I get paired with 30% winrate potatoes while enemy has a working team.
But my mmr ofc makes up for it so its still balanced.

And if this game was not bad then next one was lol

Get paired with a 3 stack team with a feeder Lunara and Aba that afk in spawn and enemy is ofc ofc another 5 stack.

6 games played today and 4 of them was againts 5 stacks.

Ofc the 5 stack got 100% perfect team with a Medivh/Tyreal comp that stole every boss we tried to take.

Just a matter of time before all solo players has left this game if we are just play dummies for idiot 5 stacks

Would be fun to know how many games 5 stacks are actualy facing another 5 stack in this game imao. Properly only 10% of the time lol.

Cause its more fun to beat weak solo que teams with full premade then to have them face another 5 stack. 5 stack chickens I just gonna call them from now on. Thats what they all are. Cause they are all affraid to play againt other 5 stacks.

Were you on a healer, or hooking heroes with Stitches? I don’t believe in the forced 50%, but MMR averaging in QM is a thing and it’s tough when you’re the highest MMR and you’re on a hero that harder to carry with.

No Dw. Againts a team with 2x bruisers and Hammer/Nova

And my team was 30% Liming with less dmg then me with full orb build and Rag with 10 deaths.

It’s nice to be on Deathwing vs 2 bruisers, I quite like a slow beefy frontline with him. I’m not surprised about the Li-Ming. There almost never is just a mediocre Ming. I may rib Ming players for going the Full Orb build, but that build can work and that’s exactly when the Ming in question will go Calamity.

I had a game today with a Ming on my team vs a Deathwing, do you think any Orb talents selected at all to easily poke him down? Nope, no, Calamity Ming, lowest damage on team, highest deaths, she didn’t even have any divers agasint her and she got a healer and tank. :frowning:

Most frustrating thing in this game, is where the other team is super cocky, b stepping, spraying any chance they get throughout the game but they are also really bad and not that good, they are only winning because you can’t carry your one or two bad teammates who are doing everything in their power to make you lose as well. And you get to watch the other team spam sprays and b step at the end of the game when they played terrible.

Yeah…

If you guessed that our Varian went Twin blades you guessed right. Those were among the worse players I’ve ever played with.
(Oh, and lost an extra rank point as an insult from the game)

Ranked/Unranked? There is only QM. Anyway, the team doesn’t look bad except abathur. I hate abbys. Most of the time they just suck and contribute nothing to a match.

It was obvious though, He is paired with his aba mate

I hate abby’s so much. It’s perpetually 4v5 and you just gotta HOPE the Abby knows what he’s doing. Or else it’s just a missing character and that’s it.

And since most players in this game are rock stupid, that means about 60% of the time when you get an abby? It’s GG. Unless the other team really, REALLY sux.

so you que with a friend and both lock dmg? then get mad that the 3 others wont tank and heal for you? No wonder you lost.
