How can we get good balance in stadium? It’s a competitive game mode. Like in the normal competitive mode you don’t have crossplay. For example a plat 4 player on pc It’s not the same level as plat 4 player on console. So how can get the balance to work on both platforms? So it feels good. The only thing I want it’s a good experience for both platforms. Not a game mode people stop playing for bad experience of not balanced games.

It’s a ridiculous decision… They’ll revert it real fast, trust me…
Consoles vs PC in competitive has never worked and will never work.
Main reason is stuff many console players use, like Xim-Matrix and so on, letting them play with mouse and keyboard on consoles that also give them a massive boost to the already built in aim assist as well as other settings, making it behave close to an aimbot with increased target acquisition range and wider tracking window etc and far more snappy than if they were playing with a controller.
This is also why nobody wants crossplay in regular competitive.
Not only that but if you end up getting a skewed matchup where you get 3 console players on your team without any Xim-Matrix etc while the enemy team gets 1 with Xim-Matrix, you’re guaranteed to lose 100%. Heck, even without that one Ximmer, they’d still win because without Xim-Matrix, console players are like sitting ducks to PC players.
Waiting for the naysayers to roll up to tell me how wrong i am in an attempt to protect themselves and other Ximmers

daily reminder that the only time crossplay is acceptable ever, is if there is no such thing as aim assist (a.k.a built-in aimbot) for controller users

For once I agree with you. Cross play and competitive should never be a thing.
What stadium needs is a quick play option. Then you can have all the cross play you want.

It will kill the game mode they have spent so much effort on. The people campaigning for it are going all out and the people who don’t like it (90% of PC players) will just stop playing the mode. Blizz may not even realise what they did wrong let alone revert it.
I think cross play ranked is stupid… but I don’t see this happening.
There might be some that say no, but there will be others that will actually play because they can play with their friends.
The solution is have an unranked version with cross play. But I don’t think they are very interested in that atm

The odd sized crossplay groups need solos to fill their lobbies though. That’s what the matchmaker won’t be able to find.

Oh yeah. The queues will be fun.
Hence, just add a quick play version. Solves everything then.
