This needs to happen, and no reason not to if you think about it.
Every time an account sale happens, and even off that, the sea of alts is just ruining the middle tiers of the game. Just got out of a game with mid-Diamond McCree who literally made sure our team was just not quite good enough to ever take the first point, the rest were golds and silvers. This is madness (he admitted the real tier, the account was level 5). Yeah I know its just QP, but its just ridiculous and would net Blizz more income.
Please, please reconsider and simply allow a nominal fee of maybe $10.00… this would help feed the cost of the game, and not make the mid-tier QP so one-sided as it is too often. Most people who are willing to get a new account will also be more than willing to pay to avoid the 25 wait time.
How about they make it so an existing account can purchase alternate accounts that share gold/skins and access to Comp, but also share disciplinary reports.
Would probably put a dent in bad behavior with smurfing.
This is a pretty good idea for family’s who play overwatch together so they will have shared skins and different comp levels
and this can also fix the smurfing problem a bit (if you will get reported for smurfing your main account will also get suspended/ banned)
Its already easy, the point is most of these people are going to regardless, and all they are doing really is just throwing off the mid-tier games quite a bit. Might as well give what 75% of them want, to be in comp. Can you honestly tell me that delaying till 25 is making any difference in the sheer number?
Why this? I mean, so far, no one has a credible reason not to do it. Why bother with them in the first levels where one is being ranked. I cannot see many new players or say people from Console doing this, but regular PC alts… who desire to do Comp… why not? They will go straight into comp, where they belong any way. They won’t be as off-putting to new players, or the mid-tier, and in turn they get what they want. They will have to do placements, that’s the ranking process. Let them do this, then unlock QP.
I mean I don’t see how anyone really loses. The only “losers” might be people in comp if someone is truly learning a new character, but they shouldn’t doing it in Comp anyhow but more likely DM or some custom game, even QP for a time, but they would spend less time there. Money for Blizz, better impact on match-making, less frustration for people who must have an alt (hey, I have five, I remember getting called Smurf and I am not even that good).
