I currently only play QM and ARAM. SL is a lottery, the worst mode in the game.

QM is suppose to be QUICK match. based COMPLETELY on an algo
Making MM better = Adding more “If” “Then” “Else” conditions into algo
Which means= 1) Longer Queue Time, 2) Better Balanced Composition
And both of these would ROB the mode of its core concept = QUICK match
You cant fix whats NOT BROKEN 
SL is worst mode for people who dont know how to play and who go in solo q.
Bcoz in SL, peoples ranks r on the line. And they expect coordination and decent play.
But, like I always say. Follow 2 rules and 90% of ALL YOUR PROBLEMS in Hots goes away =
- Keep a polite and motivating tone in chat WHATSOEVER
- Queue with as many frends as u can, 5-man party solves it all

Most complaints about QM are about unfair/unbalanced games/teams asking for tank/heal/dps requirement but do not want longer queues though.
It’s frustrating to keep reading the same post over and over wrote by uninformed, selfish delusional players who can not be bothered playing anything other than their favourite assassin and expect to game magically and quickly find them 9 more player willing to play roles they don’t.
QM is random heroes in a random map. It can never be both balanced and quick. It is fine the way it is. Do you want to make it balanced? Queue up as 5 man team or draft, guess what, someone will have to tank/heal.
When QM had the tank/heal/dps requirement queue was 5/10 minutes, back then it was way faster to play UD. I could not understand why people would wait 5/10 minutes for a QM rather than UD then I thought about it and realized the obvious. People refuse drafting because they do not want to risk playing anything other than their favorite hero.
It’s not about balance, nor about wait times, it’s just about selfish and lazy players. I do not accept complains or rants from players who expect all and give nothing to the team they play with.
Is QM the “main” game mode? That shows how bad HotS players are. QM is not really HotS, it is a practice mode to try out new heroes. The real HotS game is drafting the best possible team for a map.

Ppl “hate” QM because instead of “improving” (changing) that mode they suggest to ppl who do indeed dislike QM to play other gamemodes?
That’s not hate, that’s “love”.
They like QM for what is it and most of those “suggestions” would destroy that for them.

I found out past midnight is the worst time to play this game at cause you will lose hard. I have played past midnight for some days now and only had potatoes on my team.
I kinda start to feel that this is personal against me ;p lol :'D

This is exactly what this mode does not make sense, because it is created only for those who can play in a 5-person band.
I have a 70-person list of friends from 2018, now active is 0-3.
All my problems will solve:
solo queue
hard reset mmr.

U sure you know tht HOTS is team game
the level of competitiveness and fun that you can get by playing with frends can NEVER be attained by playing solo q. Its never hard to make frends.
You play 2 to 3 games solo, and u can add a person to play with you later on.
Try adding people, if you play decent, and u had a potato bcoz of which you lost, im sure the other players (non-potatoes) wouldnt mind pairing up with a good player to reduce the chances of potatoes in their next search up
it will take u a few days to build up ur frendlist tht is often online at ur time, and things will be better :), try it
well, as you have not been on my side when the battle starts, you should feel that
i have perfect experience of
1= the feeling of crow hovering over u
2= when the shield n portal pop up n ur target escapes at 5hp
3= when your frozen in time trap at a boss which you see medivh capture and leave as if saying “Thank you so much, See you SOON again <3”
i want to experience the other side of the table
welp, I guess basketball and football are screwed as games as their most popular form of play is pick-up games at parks and frontyards where the game ends when the person who owns the ball gets upset, and leaves with his stuff

But for the 5 players on the enemy team it is good to play past midnight because they won hard.
Maybe Blizzard just knows you, hates you and is trying to force losses on you, but only you.

Its not QM we hate, its the expectation that QM is some fair and balanced version of the game rather than what its intended to be a version of the game where you jump in and play the hero you want to play to see what it does.
QM is a CASUAL version of the game not some try hard version.
Unranked was created for people who wanted to play casually but to try and have balanced teams. The downside is that you may not get to play the hero you want to play.
People coming in and raging that QM is supposed to put the perfect team comp around their hero and have players of the same level of skill is an unrealistic expectation, especially in smaller player pool. Go in do your best and practice the hero. Want structure UNRANKED or STORM LEAGUE.

The people that complains the most about QM are usually the one that cant take accoubtability for anything , yes QM is chaotic and not stables but its great to force people to adapt and learn how to play without healers for exemple or without a tank.
Yes being match with an idiotic partner happens but it can hapen in any game mode, ive played with and vs diamond players which at first i was expecting to see a silver rank or something.
However QM is has alot of hate from certain people bcause its the easiest mode to blame when things dont go your way.
Map
Allies
Enemy
Objective op
Hero is op
Hero is bad
What ever you want to blame , someone probably did already blamed it in QM.
Because even if they died 8 in 11 minutes on volskaya and finished the game with 0 kills and 0 assist and 15 deaths they still claim they are the best players on the team and the remaining players of said team are apparebtly trash for only lasting 22 minutes in a 4v5 all game while that same player had fun suiciding in the towers of feeding itself to enemy players …

I’ve been on the new reel against real whammies before, and for sure if you’re ready to learn it can be a huge opportunity.
That said, strings of losses due to skill gaps can be a problem.
QM gets flak because it’s a pug mode, and pugs are always rough with Blizz games as one in every three has no care about anything going on.
Seeing comments like this comparing Hots to Football makes me not surprised this game failed.
I could explain why you’re wrong in multiple paragraphs using experiences from the many pick up games I participated but I won’t bother. It won’t fix your faulty logic anyway.

How does it manage to be the most popular mode if it’s an unbalanced, frustrating, and random clown fiesta? I only ask because of the following:

As a “mere” level 800ish when 2.0 came out, I found games with players at <100 just as often then as I do now.

Because 1 person now makes something like that a fact?
That never happened to me and in fact I dont see level 1000+ very often. Guess the player base is not as small as you claim it is?
Well do you have any suggestions on how quick match should be changed?
