It sucks because it was so requested. Everyone wanted it. I guess Blizz would have to separate, “group button” from “party up” players.
The problem with the “Stay as team” button is that those that group up afterward will now likely face against teams with similar numbered groups. So say if the entire team group up, they will now likely be facing against other coordinated 6-stack teams. I personally have never been a fan of that feature and feel this helps keep a lot of unruly players at higher ranks than what they should be at.
How so? How would this keep players at a higher rank than they should be?
Its a nice idea…BUT…98% of the people who click that buttom first were just carried to their first win in DAYS and are desperate to win again.
You don’t really want to team up with the team’s anchor…
The prob is that a group of randoms that just met 10 minutes ago are now playing against an already established group.
It needs to function differently. When people click stay as group, it should place them in a semi-permanent group. At the end of the next match, everyone should have to click stay as group again to remain in the group.
The reason most people don’t use the function (IMO) is because it places you in a permanent group, and then when you realize after the next match that your teammates actually suck, or are toxic, it gets awkward.
The feature should function more like a “hey let’s play one more match together because it worked last round”.
Also, the function shouldn’t place you against preformed teams. It would essentially just Q everyone as solo, but place them in the same match.
And the only people that don’t know this is the aforementioned Reaper who of course doesn’t use a mic and you didn’t even know they were there.
