Bring back Best-of-5

[SneakyBeefer-1131]

half a season was MORE than enough to see that it was NOT working as a competitive gamemode. Mistake corrected, thankfully!

[SneakyBeefer-1131]

wait, I know this one!

1. They liked it
2. it was fast
3. that’s it there is no 3

[righthere-11972]

We”ll never know. They never replied.

[Enzo0629-1486]

I mean if you want bo5 then just play unranked

[Ornery-11716]

@braincomb-1438

I don’t understand why you didn’t even let BO5 run for the rest of the season

Because the number of players was tanking too fast to let it go on that long

[Enzo0629-1486]

Honestly probably true. I played stadium for like maybe 5 days if even that after the season started and then i just stopped playing it. Just wasn’t fun in bo5 on comp

@Syhorim-2227

how can someone be sad because they can’t pick a hero power? people who disliked Bo5 weren’t just sad, they had practical reasons to dislike it. is this some kind of low level rage bait?

A lot of people who liked best of seven were not rational people because they claim others’ views are irrational. Some were mean to others because their hearts were filled with woe! The definition of an opinion can be found by going to www.google.com and searching “opinion define.” Other phrases such as “what is an opinion” or “what does opinion mean” work as well. Additionally, I think you would benefit from the knowledge that emotions are a response to events that happen. If you have a reason to dislike something, you can feel sad. In most cases, people do not feel emotions without a direct trigger to activate them.

In this case, the trigger was that I enjoyed the faster paced games and felt like longer games were dragged out longer than they needed to be. People argue that more rounds allowed for strategy. This is a viewpoint I don’t completely agree with. It simply gives you more time to develop a strategy, but it is not vital to developing one. You are not at a competitive advantage or disadvantage from having more rounds to spend countering, because the enemy can do this as well. You still have time to strategize in best of five modes during the extensive armory phase. If that is not enough time for your team, then you are not the better team! That is okay, just strengthen your bonds of friendship with your team mates. The power of friendship overcomes all odds!!!

Shorter games are beneficial as well. There is less of a likelihood of getting burnt out from the match. Games that last too long can become tiring. This timeframe will be different for every player, but some users prefer games that are under thirty minutes. It is also often the case that the fourth round win is entirely pointless because one team’s performance is much higher than the other’s. No other game mode has one sided matches that extend past twenty minutes! Aside from maybe total mayhem! Hehe!! When games don’t extend past 4 rounds, you don’t get the chance to use fleshed out versions of your build. In the best of five version of the game mode, you can equip three powers by round three. Meanwhile in best of seven, by the fourth and possibly final round, you would only have access to two powers. Having more cash and powers available allows for more opportunities to counter the enemy team, allowing you to enact strategic play. Some users felt as if the rounds in between those which you would select a power acted only as filler because you often did not have enough cash or powers to make significant changes in your build.

Now you understand that just because you don’t understand an opinion, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a reason. It is okay that you did not know before. You are learning and growing to be the best hero you can be!

I hope I was helpful!!

@Syhorim-2227

this is just a blatant lie. please, link posts to support your statement

@Syhorim-2227

people who disliked Bo5 weren’t just sad, they had practical reasons to dislike it. is this some kind of low level rage bait?

Your heart is full with woe!!

@Syhorim-2227

can you talk like a normal person, instead of going on with this trollish and childish behaviour? I won’t acknowledge the next parts of your post where you keep on with this

Normal? I don’t know what you mean. Am I abnormal?

@Syhorim-2227

yeah, i don’t research things like that, i like to be precise in what i do so i either go to Wiktionary or Wordreference. anyway, what did you try to achieve with this?

If you have another effective method for acquiring definitions, then please use it! What ever will help you acquire the knowledge you need.

@Syhorim-2227

i believe you mentioned somewhere you’re neurodivergent.

I have not said this here. Have you shape shifted and followed me here!? I see now that I have been battling one shapeshifting clone the entire time!

You must be one of the one’s whose hearts are filled with woe!

@Syhorim-2227

no, if you don’t like something you don’t automatically feel sadness, you can feel rage, disappointment, i mean you could even feel nothing!

That was not the claim made. The woe has corrupted your mind so badly that you must have fallen into confusion! Don’t worry! With the powers of the Kira Kira and hopeful heart beams you can be cured of woe!

@Syhorim-2227

please, never touch the balance of a game because thinking you don’t have an advantage because your enemy has the same, has got to be the most unexperienced statement ever stated on this topic

An advantage… Implies that you have an advantage over your opponent. You really are not doing well!

@Syhorim-2227

that has never been the game’s problem. you have to accept that not every game mode is for everyone, and if people want to play a competitive mode they must be committed to it, so they must commit to spending the necessary time to play it fully. in this case the time is that of a Bo7 format. if people can’t commit to that time and burns out, that is not the game’s responsibility nor the developers’

Yes! Not everyone will like every change. Heroes are still allowed to hold their opinions and voice them.

@Syhorim-2227

…you’re not serious. you can’t be. are you so committed to this trolling act of yours that you thought that the time needed was in order to talk to your teammates, instead of the cash generation itself and the more strategic fights? are you for real?

You are terribly, terribly corrupted by woe. So cruel and so confused! I will try to heal your heart of woe, but I might be too late!!

@Syhorim-2227

it seemed to me that this whole love for bo5 was about speed and shorter times. a 4-0 stomp takes no more than 15mins. are you saying that this is pointless because…?

I prefer that my battles are even sided and hard fought by both sides when the duration of the match is that long! This is a preference. You don’t have to share it, but it is still real!

@Syhorim-2227

maybe because no other mode uses multiple maps and rounds, except control which is bo3?

Control is a fair game mode despite having few quick rounds! Stadium is no different.

@Syhorim-2227

that’s where the competition is: you and your enemy don’t (shouldn’t) immediately have an OP setup, and so the fight gets on a more skill-based level than just mere power from the build.

That is not something I agree with because not every build is built the same! Some builds come online earlier than others!

@Syhorim-2227

did you forget this is a competitive mode? hasn’t this been stressed enough for you?

You are so cruel every time you speak. I just want to be friends. The power of friendship defeats all!!

@Syhorim-2227

no. this allows the more snowball-y heroes to reach OP status faster, while the slower heroes will fall behind.
a competitive mode like this needs a slower but steadier flow of cash and that’s why…

Perhaps the issue is that there is such a disparity between build strength and time to build between heroes. If heroes had their builds achieve the same level of strength by the same point in the game, this might not be an issue.

@Syhorim-2227

of times, those “filler” rounds are vital for the mode, they need to buffer and help the losing team narrow the delta. but you still refuse to acknowledge this, always putting it on a “people disliked this” basis.

This is not necessary. What you perceive as factual is just a matter of perspective. It is difficult to accept that not everyone can agree, but we can still overcome our differences and become friends!!

@Syhorim-2227

never believed that, and i genuinely wonder where you got that from, since most people here never said you didn’t have a reason

B-But earlier you said

@Syhorim-2227

people who disliked Bo5 weren’t just sad, they had practical reasons to dislike it

You did say that there is not a reason, silly!

@Syhorim-2227

you started this dokiwatch parody of yourself, believing you’re so clever for avoiding the moderation.

I don’t know what you mean! Parody? I’m not a parody! I am just embracing kindness in the face of a foe whose heart is full with woe!

@Syhorim-2227

this is immature af

Hmmm I’m not sure if your cruel words have been the definition of mature. It is okay though! I understand that your heart is so corrupted with woe that you are full of confusion!

@Syhorim-2227

not get upset when people don’t agree with your personal likes and dislikes while you’re sharing them in a debate where most people are logically analysing pros and cons of a situation.

That is exactly what you have done. The woe corrupts you so far that you cannot see it. I am truly sorry that the corruption has gotten so bad!

@Syhorim-2227

no, you’ve just been extremely annoying and i honestly hope you get this kind of energy against you in your life, so you’ll understand how obnoxious your behaviour is.

Yes, it would be great if people treated others with kindness! Be kind everyone!!!

[JAKL-11551]

I agree with you. Isn’t the intention of a competitive mode mode to win rather than test out theory craft builds? Additionally, those that want to see a full, late-game build come to fruition see it faster in a best of 5 without a mercy rule than a a best of 7 where like you said only get 2 powers and less money to create their builds by the time most games end.

[Somvra-1200]

Best of 5 is in quickplay..

[Craftoon-1231]

@Syhorim-2227

lease, reply me again with a new post where you speak like a human being and you treat me as one, since you’re clearly believing that talking to me as if i was a 6yo in recess time would be a decent thing to do.

I don’t know what you mean. I am talking normally! I was criticized for being rude to those who were rude to me, and I apologized, so now I have embraced kindness! It seems like you are still unsatisfied. Your heart of woe will never be full of love it seems. I will need the power of friendship to cleanse your woes! It will be a challenge even with such power!!!

@Syhorim-2227

you’re not even expressing a point,

But I did! I’m sorry, did you have a hard time understanding my point? If you thought the last reply strayed away from the topic of discussion, it would be because most of your reply consisted of so many words of woe that I had to cleanse with kindness!!!

@Syhorim-2227

in the meantime, have your post reported for trolling and possibly removed

Your disguised clones of woe will not defeat the power of friendship!

@Syhorim-2227

calling other people names could be a strong argument

I have not been calling you names! If your feelings were hurt then I am dearly sorry!!

[JustRaime-1759]

We already have best of 5, it’s called quick play. Go play it.

[Craftoon-1231]

@JAKL-11551

Yes, that is my opinion exactly! Others are free to agree, but it is still an opinion that we are allowed to share.

[Zeron-11203]

somehow I seriously doubt this. Unless, all you did play was bo5, then yes, you would.
