We need to talk about QM

blizzard next patch please release the new changes because I’m sick of playing with sorry players with team comps that just gives people an unfair advantage. It’s like The matchmaking doesn’t even try anymore and for the past month, mirror matches have been far to common and 3 warrior comps, since when was this a thing in QM ?

I don’t know if QM is buged but this is some next LV of cancerous. please give us the QM changes why wasn’t it ready this patch ? It’s like they think that people are just supposed to always wait after 3 damn years. I can understand why the last game director after dustin got fired.

Content > Features, as they said… still you’d think Features > Content would be the logical long term investment. Nah uh. Not here!

Barring any last minute issues, Call of the Nexus is currently scheduled to be enabled later this month.

My guess is in 7 days when the Janitor Leoric skins release.

Call of the Nexus

Players who queue for Quickmatch games using roles that are in short supply will receive 50% bonus experience for being team players. Just look for the “Call of the Nexus” Bonus Experience indicator located above each Hero when viewing the Hero Selection screen.

NOTE: Call of the Nexus will not be active immediately active, but will be enabled a short time after this patch hits the live servers.

pfft… they will never say if they got fired or not but how the state of this game currently is the real question is what the hell is going on at blizzard ?

People who get fired don’t get to go onto the forums and write letters saying goodbye. People who get fired get escorted out of the building and are never heard from again.

lol dead game 10+ minute queue times.

are you talking about lost vikings? i guess not because no one plays them. same applies for qm and Hl, just move on to TL.

Back on topic, Matchmaking in QM is definitely all over the place now. 2-3 warriors vs 3+ melee assassins, 3 healers on one team vs none on the other, it’s impossible to try and guess what the game wants to try and balance it out (and not in parties either). And then there’s the queue times - the estimated queue times seem more accurate now but going back like 1-2 months the queues were only half as long.

This is having a lot of flow on effects too. With the really bad match ups, a number of players in game are understandably frustrated right from the start, and then forced to sit through ~15 minutes of a game that compounds their frustrations on each other, or risk leaver’s penalties. I believe this is major factor in what feels like a huge spike in toxicity recently, because a frustrated player is not a positive one. (Side note, I have played with some absolute rays of sunshine shining through the muck lately as well - credit to them.)

I understand that queue times are largely influenced by player bases etc. But I play multiple games without a healer and multiple tanks on one team, then play a healer and get 2-3 healers on one team and none on the other. All I’m suggesting there is balance it around.

Today has been very very VERY bad. Waiting almost 10 minutes for matches. Just to get matched with 2 healers on my team, no cc or tanks, while the other team gets the 3 best assassins in the game. Really? We got stomped, naturally. At least the team was in good spirits and knew right at the loading screen we were going to lose.

It’s been like this all day though and has been getting worse. Seriously, how hard is it to balance matches? PvP isn’t a new thing ya know.

We are now post patch. played some bonus xp games, yay. decent comps.

then i see no bonuses, cool, I’ll play one of my mains. get put into a game, 5 assassins vs 2 tanks, 2dps and a healer. What the hell? why is it getting worse? are there any other fixes planned?
