Because we’re starved for new content in game, that’s why.
I tried her out for about an hour on PTR. Played her in Comp when she was released. I climbed almost 200 SR on Damage role this past week.
They are most assuredly not good for the game.
They see a reduction in match quality as players play heroes they’re not good with/never played before in Competitive.
They also see an increase in queue times across all roles as other players opt to not play a role for a week if their main/favourite/preferred hero gets banned.
Or, worse still, they see a reduction in overall game health and longevity as players quit because they’re tired of not being able to play the heroes they want in Comp when they want.
None of that is good for the game at all.
Not sure what you’re talking about. I’ve never thrown a match in my life. Also, I didn’t lose 50 SR. I gained almost 200 SR playing Echo this past week.
Not interested in playing Quick Play with the lackadaisical “it’s just QP” attitude players there have and I’m sure as heck not interested in the Open Role Comp mode in Arcade because I did my time in the hell that was 4+ Damage/no tank/no support team compositions pre-Role Queue and am not going to subject myself to that punishment ever again.
