We don’t know that for sure. Jeff said one passing comment about negative feedback, on the first day. It wasn’t Even backed up by hard numbers it was just his casual observation. That doesn’t tell us anything.
Second of all, there’s nothing saying that it won’t come back again, sometime in the future, with more changes. The version of 132 we played only messed with 7 out of 31 heroes and only one role was even touched and some heroes within that role only had minor tweaks. That’s not enough to come to a conclusion whether something is a success or a failure.
I remember an awful lot of negative feedback here, some of which didn’t even come from me!
I think 1-3-2 is a fundamentally bad idea. Tanks in this game are just not designed to operate solo, and a lot of the fun in tanking comes from actively working with the second tank. And I don’t think playing super-powerful tanks will be fun for long, playing OP stuff is fun for a little while but in the long term you end up feeling lame because you’re just crutching your way through fights, not winning because you deserve it.
I also think 1-3-2 would require fairly neutered DPS that have distinctly less impact than other heroes do and that’s not going to be fun for the DPS.
I am not talking about changing matchmaking. I am talking about changing the current system that allows you to group with players up to 1000SR above or below you. Changing that would not affect queues at all, as you’d still have the exact same players in the queue, they’d just end up, quite correctly, in different games from each other.
The matchmaker would still be free to match in the way it currently does.
Devs have no idea what the differences really are. 2000 vs 2500 is huge difference. I think SR diff in mid ranks silver-gold-plat should be no more than 200SR
Ok, this is going off the rails. It all boils down to the point of people literally having ZERO CLUE about how the MMR system works.
You … do know that the game doesnt have super powers or a crystal ball to know a level 25 account belongs to a T500, right OP?
Please add context and also read this guys:
SR-Limits in Matchmaking are pointless anyway and completely unnecessary.
They do more harm then good.
First of all if you always play against players your rank you just get used to bad habits.
You have to play against better players that punish your bad habits to remove them.
And SR-Limits lead to true smurfing, because well some people want to play with their friends, even if they have wildly different SR, so what will they do to play with them?
Well buy another account and deliberately lose games to stay in the SR-Range where they could play with their friends.
Pretty Sure Samito was a streamer highlight in the Mardi Gras event. Blizz won’t take a true stand against smurfing, and why should they? It makes them money.
The developers never have and probably never will care about the integrity of a competitive mode in this game.
They made that abundantly clear since beta when they refused to explore a solo (or even duo) queue mode and just let people pair up with any team size they want with extremely loose SR restrictions.
