Yet another quitting post.
I just got reported for throwing by two different people in a game where I had three gold medals, single-handedly cleared the first point, and worked and pushed with my team the entire game. In quickplay.
Now, I know I did nothing wrong, but it just doesn’t feel good.
And it’s really not the only thing that doesn’t feel good.
It doesn’t feel good getting killed by the same hero over and over again because they don’t have any real counter.
It doesn’t feel good getting placed at such a low rank every season that the task of getting to the next one feels too big to even try.
It doesn’t feel good winning or losing before the game starts based on the roll of a die.
It doesn’t feel good watching as every hero I enjoy gets either changed beyond recognition, or left behind by rampant power creep.
It doesn’t feel good loading in too slowly to play the game the way that you want to, and getting stuck on tank or something else that makes me want to go to sleep.
It doesn’t feel good trying to talk about any opinion on this forum ever only to get called stupid by 800 people who can’t even be bothered to make an actual counterargument.
It doesn’t feel good to get shot through a wall because the person shooting at you was lagging and the game always favors the shooter.
It doesn’t feel good to watch Doomfist’s dinky punch hitbox go right through an enemy’s center of mass for no reason.
It doesn’t feel good playing in the same game as a Brigitte ever under any circumstance.
Same with Roadhog, Widow, Hanzo, and Pharah. All heroes who used to feel fine to play as or against, until they were changed for no reason at all. (except the whole “Hog’s hook can pull you around corners” thing. Glad that’s gone.)
I don’t know why Orisa can still use Zarya’s ultimate every 10 seconds.
I don’t know why Moira can still delete people on the other side of the map who she can’t even see just because they’re at low health.
I don’t know why Bastion, the worst hero in the game, got a nerf instead of a buff, and then got nerfed again three days later before being ignored for at least a year but probably more.
I don’t know why Mccree’s Deadeye will just not kill people in plain sight with a skull on them and no defenses at all 90% of the time.
I don’t know why Zennyatta can still unhappen a perfectly placed ult with no risk to himself.
I don’t know why Blizzard thought we needed another stun hero.
I don’t know why Mercy couldn’t just have her rez invincibility reverted instead of forcing half the world’s mercy mains to quit.
I don’t know why the massive balance patch to make the game balanced around a hero limit after the hero limit was added to the game never came.
I don’t know why it takes Blizzard a hundred times longer to make new heroes now, when all the new heroes’ abilities are slight tweaks on older ones, instead of any of the wealth of interesting options that they’ve never tapped into.
I don’t know why the game hasn’t been improved more than it’s been damaged in more than two years of patches, even with all of the bug fixes.
I don’t know a lot of things, but I do know that the game that I thought was worth spending money on has been patched out, and without some seriously massive changes or an option to play the game as it was when it launched, I can’t see myself enjoying it anymore.
It’s great that you’re trying to reduce toxicity and improve matchmaking, but next time, try doing it two years ago when you made the patches that caused either of these things to become problems.
I haven’t deleted my account. I haven’t even uninstalled the game, but now that I’ve written that all down, I can’t honestly remember why I didn’t quit a long time ago. Good night.
