One tricks will be fine, their hero will be banned for a week, then theyā€™ll probably get like, a 2 week grace period.

Nah, Iā€™ll probably just play on my other account during that time so I can play the available heros at the proper elo.

something i find interesting is why would they need to be constantly re-balancing the game if they are going to be having hero pools and basically having a new meta every week. sound like they could go OTT with changing stuff and annoy people.

Hero pools: Wow, canā€™t balance characters so first limit the number of roles.

Limit number of maps, okay.

Now letā€™s limit what heroes can be played.

THIS IS GOING GREAT GOIYS!

People will always complain about balance, no matter how balanced the game is. This seems like a solid way to fix that, but the community will still complain about it

12

No, people always complaining is not an excuse to make your game suck.

13

It makes the game better imo, and in plenty of otherā€™s

everything else, amazing, hero pools? less content is always worst, forcing the walls of a game to made the player play it like u mean it to be played, isnt going to work, is going to dry out all the fun of games, it happened before

Less content isnā€™t always worse. Letā€™s look at say, halo 3. Halo 3 might have 20-something guns in it, but it wonā€™t have every single gun on every single map.

Banning heroes in League/Paladins is another way of limiting content, and both work relatively well.

16

Everybody is certainly entitled to their opinion. I mean, Role queue was supposed to be the holy grail of making the game better. Some people like it, but you can watch Twitch show the game pitches off the edge after its introduced.

Truth is, weā€™ll see. Youā€™ll know hero pools saved the game if more people play it when it comes out. I just doubt it severely, sounds like itā€™s yet another Blizzard reason to avoid balancing their characters and generally put the fault on players for their own problem. While making the game a lot less interesting.

I really like the new balance philosophy. Its great for the game and iā€™m sure the game will get more dynamic. But I donā€™t really like the idea of only playing a certain amount of heroes a week. You basically force a new ā€˜metaā€™ every week, for every rank. Before this new system, the meta only applied to GM.

Diocazzo la madonna impestata ma come cazzo ĆØ che ogni volta che gli sviluppatori mettono mano a sto gioco combinano solo stronzate?

i dont play paladins, but the game isnt going great.
For halo or league of legens is not the same, to get back on topic, i already follow onetricks i enjoy to see, and there are a lot of people like me,the thing is the game was flawled, people dont want to swap they want to stick to their beloved character, is all over the place in the playerbase reactions, they hate meta cause they cant play their hero, buying other accounts to play offmeta heroes, etc. The solution is to change the game so people enjoy it, if you change the game so people play it in a way they dont want to play it, will se what happens.

You said limiting content is always bad. I gave you 3 examples of why youā€™re wrong.
