which Is why their is a correlation to the op is saying the issues in game. people don’t play unfun games. thanks to the ban bot good players who cared probably to much got banned the mm quality drop and with each drop more people are affected and it gets worse and worse until the game dies or the ban bot is disabled.
its not you. its the game. the few games I played do to talking with friends I wanted to see how the game was. not just take ther word for it. I used their builds got the results similar ro what they got after watching the replays and guess what. the last few I played where so bad that I unmuted the chat and asked if the games are normally this bad. crickets due to the ban bot. no one was willing to comment and there where 3 or 4 300s in the game so they had way more then me.
the forced 50-50 was real the builds I was told worked the same for me as they did my friends I even did silently better since im more disciplined. the same things I was told about uncooperative bot lake players where noticeable to a nub like me as well as literally everything you have read here on the forms and they told me.
yet some people still have the balls to gas light when the experience matches the description. kick scream cry. hell ban me idc you opinion is just that opinion. the facts always walk the walk.
there is one problem with what you say zenasprime. ranked mode is by nature a try hard mode. it wont be perfect but the sheer number of greifers with the im here for fun attitude and yes the say it in chat even ive seen the replays from multiple irl friends. should never be allowed. there is qm there is unranked. yet these people choose ranked to do it.
huge disconnect here on your part there is a reason the m.e.t.a is a thing its a combination of the most effective way to play as well as a base line for Randoms to function in a group. think fully before speaking of an issue please.
You can see how frustrated the streamers are by this game, even those like Grubby who are famously even keeled. I followed their lead and quit the game today. I will look back in a year or so and see if they have done any real improvements, but I won’t hold my breath.
You can’t quit this game. You are bound to it. The only way for a player from Earth 6 to bury a game is by finishing it. You just played some hundreds maybe thousands of matches. You never looked for the keys. You never got the two teams to create one 10-man raid to summon the boss.
“I followed their lead”. They are not leaders.
It’s like the people that followed Forest Gump while he was running across the United States.
shrugs If Grubby isn’t making as many HotS youtube videos as he was, he’ll be missing out on like $0.10 of ad revenue from me. That guy is a joy to watch… but I only watched him because he was playing a game I’m playing.
Your confusion stems from some bizarre idea that you need play the same game every single day. Do people play organized volleyball every single day of the week? NO. Seriously, this is a problem with your cognitive perception of reality.
You think big gaming companies design games and think “they’ll only play this game once in awhile”
All games are developed with the intention of getting you hooked. Getting you to play it all day everyday and be totally addicted to it. That’s how Riot designed LoL to become the most played game in the world. That’s how Blizzard designs its games from WoW to Diablo to HotS. If you think Blizzard would implement something that runs against this philosophy, you’re either super naive or just plain stupid.
Popularity increases the money gained, money gained increases budget. HotS’s budget is so low that we can’t have Hero Portraits on loading screen anymore ( See Mal’ganis, we don’t have 2D traditional Portrait for him, its pathetic). This Blizzcon is worst so far for HotS. No new map, only one hero that is disliked by I assume majority ( if not disliked then neutral).
If popularity continues to decrease, which it seems to do, this game’s budget will be on such a low level, that we will see even more Hero release delays, even more quality drops and less and less content as it has been over whole 2018. Not looking good.
You think that players only play one game. That’s not even close to reality. Come on, you can’t be this naive.
At the end of the day, you have this fantasy of what you think reality should be. And your experiences are suffering as a result. That’s on you, nobody else.
I frequently rotate between WoW, OW and HoTS. I enjoy all 3 but as an adult who works 40+ hours a week I dont have the time to play all 3 regularly so I put a couple weeks-months into 1 at a time.
Yes they are many people that are interested in organized team gameplay. The problem is that HotS can give you only that great experience in organized team gameplay. Other Mobas can give you good experience in organized team gameplay and good solo experience when you do not have friends that you can play with it.
I beg to differ. I don’t think they give good solo experiences at all.
Games that provide solo experiences, in my opinion, are not games based on teams. They are game like Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and Starcraft 2. Games where individuals compete against each other. Even multiplayer Battle Royale games like PUBG and Fortnite, or even Doom, Quake, and Unreal deathmatch games provide a far superior experience for the competitive single player than any MOBA game that tries to throw strangers onto teams with each other.’
What solo queues in team focused games like MOBAs (and even games like Overwatch) do diminish the very feature of the game that makes these games absolutely fantastic competitive experiences: the cooperation and synergy of groups of players working together for a common goal. In this case, winning a game against another team of human players working together to prevent that.
There’s a reason why LFR is not the pinnacle of raiding experience in WoW. And what you are basically telling me is that it is (or at least it should be), which is a ridiculous perspective to take in my opinion.
Dude pls tell that to 65 mln players in LoL and 15 mln player in DOTA2, that they dont have good solo xp or that if they have they should go and play single player games.
I am playing Counter-Strike for over a 15 years and i have great solo and team experience in this game. You can have solo xp in a team game.s
Then I posit that you don’t really know what a “good” team game experience is. Probably because you don’t ever have one.
It’s like your trying to tell me that doughnuts are freaking awesome and are the best baked good available but you’ve never actually eaten a doughnut. o.O
