If NFL teams were created by random lot each week, coaches would prize a different skill set from what they do currently

Actually, the person making the argument has the burden of 1) proof and 2) communicating it in a clear and concise manner

We just want to know what you’re trying to say so we can properly reply

They often are, it’s called a blind draft

but someone can say “I don’t understand” until eternity ends

do they redraft the teams after each game?

Not really…any reasonable person will want to understand you first before making a rebuttal

Of course not, but they aren’t working with a player pool of thousands and thousands. What are you suggesting, that you just get 1 team you can play with for a whole season?

I’m not saying the correct way to do it, I’m just pointing out the incorrect way to do it.

here’s the correct way to do it QoL for the LFG sure you don’t get the same team over and over, but it’s certainly not random

he said “what are you on about” I reread my post, it makes sense, he’s just not trying hard enough. show me where my statements need clairficatioin… and more to the point, he didn’t even say which part he didn’t understand.

If I speak for 3 minutes, and your only response is “what?” you really expect me to take that seriously?

Hmmm ok I see what you’re getting at now. I honestly think comparing it to a professional level sports team is a false equivalency.

Competitive ladder/LFG is more analogous to a pick-up game. You typically go to a park and play with whoever is playing there. In a pick-up game, you don’t know how good your teammates will be either

Maybe have a clan system?

Just had a dps on Pharah that managed to blow themselves up three times. Then left as enemy stormed it in for 3-0.

Think they got one final blow?

All well and good practising heroes. With a clan you could do that in an organised fashion.

Not throw the game for five strangers, then get the hump and leave.

I’ve written this season off completely. It’s more random than QuickPlay right now.

I’m just practising random crap as well. If so many people are soft throwing then I’ll join them.

Not to mention this is like showing up to a pick-up game where there are 10,000 other players

but you see the same faces, and you don’t make teams by random lot, you have a 2 captains and they choose their players

that’s incorrect, the same people go down each Saturday, sometimes they bring their friends. you see a familiar crowd.

Now this I can get behind. I would call it a “team” system but analogous to clans in other games, anyway. Perhaps they even get their own competitive mode and the SR is for the team instead of individuals.

I think something like this should be the next “big” thing they work on.

Not really. People who love playing pick-up games to get better go to different parks and challenge different people

right, so they stay on the same team, right?

I read the OP but I still don’t know what exactly you’re complaining about.

Pro team coaches -> coach in one way
PUG coaches -> coach another way

Blizzard, if you didn’t have the time or money to make a great (IMO) LFG right off the bat I understand. But to continue doing (insert what exactly are you complaining about here) is a shame.

I gotta go, I’ll be back later, and explain in great detail, thanks for reading

No, for example, a few of my friends go alone to a park (singular) and try to play pick-up games with complete strangers

It’s got to be.

This season is the worst ever in terms of matchmaking.

There’s at least one boosted or soft throwing player per game, sometimes up to three or more per team.

Well, it is a Beta…

Role prison isn’t good, but this is a poor analogy.

Yup. Not sure how suddenly making it “official” is going to make the problems disappear.

222 QuickPlay would help. Pretty much impossible to practice properly in qp as utter garbage mode. Hence why so many soft throwing with unfamiliar heroes.

I generally try hard. But if one team member obviously throwing I whip out a new hero. It’s actually worked a couple of times.
