I’ve played this game off and on since it launched. I suck but I keep coming back, so I must be a glutton for punishment. I’m back for the tenth time, and right now I’m sitting at six consecutive Quick Match losses. Winning is not as simple as, “Play better,” or “Play smarter,” because there are many games where I don’t have to lift a finger and it’s a win (which I don’t even feel is fair).
There is something I’ll never understand about this game. I’ll queue up and play as a character I don’t normally play, and for whatever reason my team will dominate the opposing team—so badly that I’ll barely have to do anything. There are times when the enemy team is full of zombies who shamble into their deaths over and over again, and there are times when, whether it’s the individual player skill or the team comp, the enemy team will dominate my team. How is it possible that I get six matches in a row where my team is comprised completely of zombies?
Match after match, I will get teamed with players who’ll either not respond to pings and do nothing or will announce at the onset that they have never played the character they chose. I just had a Muradin on my team who tried to capture a boss by himself at level 4. It’s like… shouldn’t players have to meet certain criteria to be able to queue for anything above VS AI?
TL; DR
I’ve never played a videogame until HotS where I’ve lost six matches in a row. I’ve never been so depressed playing a game before (it’s all the more painful that it’s a Blizzard game). What do I have to do to get a win in this game besides playing AI? Uninstall, or keep losing and pray for a win?
