not when they are getting 12 dollar accounts from humble bundle or 10 dollar accounts from G2A or sites like it . smurfs will come have fun and go… those of us that love the game will be here for the long haul which do you think is more profitable

most people do… and there are other ways to generate revenue besides PISS OFF YOUR COMMUNITY and kill your game…
they are shooting themselves in their own foot

You really think they care about your gaming experience? The lack od content was due to OWL. And enough people will watch that and they can still not care about the community. OWL and smurfs generate income and income is what they care about

im aware… and thats the problem im addressing

Yes and one of two things will happen: OWL runs really well -> more investment in more OWL/cups etc. Or OWL blows -> more investment into other titles.

Either way they milked players already to bux the game and maybe even multiple times. The burst of possible new players is small so thex will just cater to OWL as long as it generates money and then move most of the development team.

They probably already thinj how to monetize WC3 reforged tournaments

yeah the game is rapidly becoming unplayable at this rate. It’s far worse than it’s ever been at any point I can remember and I’ve been playing since launch.

The number of sub-level-50 accounts that just demolish teams is ridiculous

but hey, selling people the same game a dozen times is a great business model, so kudos to them I guess?

Im pretty sure Activisions reason for firing a good portion of blizzards team is because of this. Check out what the employes do when we ask for something.

Community - We need to rework shadow step

Blizzard - Life steal is now broken, the game can die now. We are too lazy to rework an ENTIRE hero ability.

Hopefully all of the goons that promoted this will be fired, and workers with real minds will work on better content and balance changes to competitive. I think that for once Activision is doing the greater good for Blizzard. And i feel the game is about to take a better direction, but inly time will tell.

Once Apex gets around to having a ranked mode, it will have smurfs too.

it dosnt even seem possible for apex to have smurfs in a game where so many people are against one another one smurf wont really matter… in a game where its 6v6 and one super good person is trolling the lower bracket thats where smurfing is an issue… its like an adult kicking a baby in the face
in apex its like an adult kicking a baby in the face and 50 pissed off other adults lynch him

14

just trust apex…
this is the end

Yeah based off what Glitchiee said just underneath you, they’ve got no clue what their actually talking about and are just looking for excuses to blame everything but themselves as for why they can’t climb

Very typical from players who’ve never climbed.

Didn’t people say OW was going to die when PUBG became popular? And then Fortnite? How many times is OW going to die before it actually dies?

Thats an optimistic stance given their track record. Brig was an unmitigated disaster. Doom was full dumpstered. All the reworks left heroes either the same or slightly worse off than they were before. They decided to nerf Mercy at the same time as they buffed everyone else (rather than see how that would pan out). Mccree and Reaper buffs were troll af. Pharah’s ‘skill promoting’ change made her worse at top level and was only done to address console meta which they could have done purely on console (it’s already running a different patch after all). They clearly don’t want GOATS and yet we’re in their important second season of league six months later and it’s still a top pick (though I’m now hopeful we will see it mostly killed soon)

It’s like 1/5 decent but usually not super influential changes 3/5 garbage and 1/5 game destroying like Reaper or Brig. idk man to have such a bad track record while apparently focusing on and commiting game resources to it and having a slow pace of patches… I’ve kinda lost all my confidence on them reigning crap in.

interesting you say that when ive got one account in high plat and another in low gm :stuck_out_tongue: they were placed there and ive never been out …

19

Your post screams “i dont like smurfs on the other team” because i know full well you have smurfs on your team helping you from time to time but that’s not an issue?? Just when you lose

Take it as a leaning experience technically smurfs aren’t doing anything wrong so whats blizzard supposed to do?? Punish any low lvl player for playing well? Because that wont make people quit the game

And give me a break your complaining about people having multiple accounts yet you admit to having them yourself???
