But seriously… it is not much fun anymore. You cater to your OWL more then the 80% of your base who don’t really care about it.
From the 5 insta lock DPS…
the 6 stack vs soloQ
the Smurf… they are a plague… really.
the unwillingness of peoples to actually form a comp that could work.
the lack of action taken against people that trow, abuse/harass in chat or voice comm.
the trickling… this get me sooo angry… they never learn…
Im almost done… i love the game, and i suck at it… 2100ish sr. but it was a gem… not anymore…
Add a mode between quickplay and competition called TEAMPLAY… so people can learn to actually play as a team.
We need a role q… with mmr attach to each hero. You have to do this… there is no way im going to be gold across the board with each hero… hell belive it or not i never played junk, moiria, Zarya, and many other… if you see time played on those in my profile it’s my 6 years old… playing them vs AI…
1 more feature i would like to see is this:
when that same dumbass keep going in 1 vs /4/5/6 ulting , killing 1-2 maybe 3 and then he obviously die. Put a BIG F***ING RED WARNING SIGN ON HIS SCREEN saying : STOP TRICKLING DUMBASS.
alright that is my rant…
a teamplay mode between quickplay and comp would be great.
Are yousaying you want Blizzard to institute some sort of Mind Control mechanic to force people to act properly?
Maybe requiring some sort of shock collar device?
I am trying to figure out how you want a company to modify human behavior.
Also if he solo killed 3 people. He put the team at a 5 vs 3 advantage. Which means it is a good trade.
If your team can’t capitalize on a +2 advantage then something is wrong with the team, not the player.
It reminds me of the time I solo 4 guys from the enemy team causing 4 of them to peel away.
My team was 5 vs 2 while I held out for 60s on capture point.
My team of 5 could not figure out how to pass 2 guys. Seriously level of incompetence is baffling. They can’t understand how bad they are if they can’t win a 5 v 2 situation.
Have you tried telling them to group up, so you’d be stronger together? It works for me.
Heck, at your age (I’m 48 myself) your voice alone should be enough to make them listen.
In my experience, I learned that most players will usually respond well to nice suggestions.
Like defending in Route 66: “guys, if we shoot from the top of the roof of the gas station, we will have a free field of fire and cover, while they will have a hard time hitting us”.
Or “we’re coming to help you [insert name of player that is too far forward], see if you can team with us!”.
Or attacking in Anubis: “Are you confident we can pass the choke with triple sniper (Widow, Hanzo, Ana)?”
Also, praise them for nice plays when they do them. It’s small things like those that make teamwork a lot easier.
I also had my share of 5 DPS and me as Mercy… and we often win (I suspect when this happens my DPS were all smurfs. If they’re confident with the lineup, I’ll trust their judgement).
That said, how do you play Tracer at your age? O.o
(I tried, and all I get is very dizzy and sick when I recall. I’d be deep bronze if I mained her.)
I remember once when I was maybe plat. I graved to get my team on point and then they went chasing off after something and left me on Volskaya 1st point trying to cap by myself.
2 of the enemy were still there… I was on point so long by myself that enemy respawns came back and I built another grav off them.
I still have no idea what my team was doing?
Of course we lost. I was done for a while after that game.
Of all that stuff you listed, people are 100% the problem but you’re blaming Blizzard and OWL. You want Blizz to hold everyone’s hand or force certain gameplay? They probably could but it’s pathetic they would even have to. Regardless, it’s a people problem isn’t it.
The main issue is no one takes responsibility: for their actions or for correcting people’s mistakes in a way that isn’t hostile. Blizzard doesn’t need to implement flashing red text to tell someone to do something, you can do it.
Yeah there are some real issues here with this game that has forced it down-hill. TBH I can’t always play at my best. But that is why I play Quick play if I am going to zone-out. Smurffs have set me down the path of “why try”. When individuals trickle in. It’s the sign of defeat.
I Can’t say that I haven’t been in those days myself. But sometimes I just feel there needs to be a few revisions so If I want to CHILL, I can. and for the days I care to play good and compete. They need the ability to FILTER OUT those types of people that engage in Competitive mode.
There really needs to be some mode changes with .
“Casual I don’t care mode”
“Quick Play, im going to try and play really good mode”
“Competitive NON smurff mode”.
This game SERIOUSLY needs a competitive over-haul, which adjusts for player quality. There are TOO many smurff accounts on here which have done nothing for the game. They are people that claim to “want to try something out” in competitive and if it doesn’t work. Other people’s accounts have to suffer for their actions.
Solo killing 3 enemies and then dying means jack if you are trickling on to point or the payload. Because you are not grouped up.
So often for instance we will get almost teamwiped and our junkrat/genji/Dva will ult and get maybe a lucky 3k followed by their death.
Yippee well done, this means that we will get to point at about the same time as those 3 enemies you killed, good job. We could have maybe used that ult in the upcoming teamfight.
This happens both ways though, enemy pharah will pop in and ult after we wipe out the rest of her team, maybe get a couple picks but without support just gets picked off herself.
Why?? To get a solo POTG but lose the round/match for your entire team??
