It’s clear that its broken in defenses favor. PLEase fix the mode or just delete it already. There is pretty much no point for playing attack. The win rate on attack cant be more than 25 percent.

I don’t actually understand why people play it anyways. You can play a way more balanced and fun version in custom games.

Total Mayhem is in no way a competitive mode. It is truly designed to be chaotic fun. I myself have used Mei almost exclusively on Total Mayhem, because I know it drives my opponent’s crazy to try and shoot me down. That being said I don’t always succeed both on attack or defense.
Total Mayhem rarely appears, but there are those who love it just because it’s good old silly fun. that being said it may eventually be fully retired for being part of the arcade matchmaker rotations. But whether it appears any more or not, there are those who do enjoy the mode.

The mode can be fun but it shouldnt be so defense favored. You pretty much cant win on attack without zarya/sombra/etc/etc you have to multiple ults for a prayer of winning teamfights especially once the defense teams gets spawn advantage.
Rialto was adjusted as it was seen as being heavily defense favored. I am sure there are ways to adjust Total mayhem as attack being pretty much an auto loss is borked.
If sombra gets a heavy nerf on her hack for Total mayhem, them maybe, just maybe, it becomes what it is supposed to be.
Otherwise its just a lot of people running around permantently hacked.

Sadly without sombra you cant win on attack. The enemy team will eventually go a stall comp with like zarya and winston. that is beyond frustrating with permanent bubbles where nothing dies.
try killing doomfist without hack…
The fact she is mandatory shows you how broken the mode is.
I would observe the Total Mayhem rule set, was originally designed without the new heroes in mind including Ana and Sombra. Back in the day, the game I was even more chaotic and a bit more balanced. though there were situations where we’d have 12 Meis all frozen on the payload at the same time.

When did that happen?
There were mentions about changes if its Attack:Defense win ratio became a problem about a year ago, but as far I’m aware, nothing became of it.
Patently false. The wife and I play Total Mayhem exclusively when it is up, and we’ve won plenty on attack without a Sombra, and with a Sombra on their defense to boot.
Maybe you can’t win without a Sombra, but that’s on you.
Nah, the games lasted nearly 40 minutes, but you could win against stall comps with well placed D.va bombs coupled with a Zarya ult or even a Phara ult to break the bubble.
Even Ana perma sleep dart wasn’t a deal breaker as Sombra’s hack is in this mode.
TM is ridiculously fun. I don’t have a problem attacking, because I can get kills reliably.

The september 11th patch of 2018, payload speed was increased slightly and the amount of time it spent stopped at checkpoints was reduced

I thought you were going to say delete because it’s a terrible game mode…in which case I prob wouldn’t have disagreed…but I know there would be some upset people (“why” would be a good question)
Aw… Did someone lost & did not have fun at all in this mode?
If you dont enjoy this mode, dont play it. Simple as that is.

I just dont understand why have a mode that is so heavily skewed towards defense. I mean why would the masses even try on attack if your chances of winning is practically nil
Then WHY you are playing it? There’s plenty of other modes & workshop games to play & have fun.
Others might enjoy it too. Just cause you dont, doesnt mean that it should be dELeteD.
at least fix how stupidly defense favored it is.

Lmao…
Dont boss people around buddy, chill & play other mode then?
Also you know its not always defense favored. You need to chill mate.
lets be real its heavily defense favored. I would love to see the statistics on it. No way attack wins more than 25 percent of the time in that mode. Your effort of winning on attack is far greater than holding on defense.
