It’s really just the least fun arcade game blizz has done. April fools event is my top or near top.

I won’t even touch it, the description is basically a giant “STAY OUT” warning sign to me.
do they ever give a crap about normal overwatch players who don’t want 263748382u2z23383826263z3 different adjustments mid match?
Naked nude exhibitionism overwatch is what I want. No items, no perks, no full moon werewolf Transformations, No wierd physics changes mid game, no nothing nada, absolutely boring old dumb overwatch. 1 ult, 2 abilities, a gun. Done.
Not yet another garbage filled with non overwatch changes.
challange for the devs, make a overwatch mode that is actually overwatch, level impossible.
gotta have Atleast a few random garbage gimmiks and quirks otherwise it would be to close to real overwatch that got deleted years ago.. Play our garbage slop with 32 changes.

You must not know about Mystery Heroes then lol
The only 2 problems the mode has are
- Those stupid mods. THEY ruin the core fun.
- The nonexisting match making… Almost all matches I had where against at least 2 high tier comp players while my team had none or maybe one. And they alwasy only go killhunting, no one cared about the map objective and because of that all matches are lost.

It might be at the bottom of my list too, right next to Mischief Mascarade.
You’re talking like they replaced the core game. It’s an optional, limited-time arcade mode. Based on what you want, it’s just base OW, so maybe stay out of the arcade tab.

I tried so hard to like it. But I hate it.
I think if there was like 1 modifier it could be fun? But it feels like just chaos for chaos sake.

It’s the modifiers. Spirit Showdown was great, loved it. All it needed was the assist adjustment they gave supports and it was amazing. The modifiers though, they are horrible. If you can have the modifiers and could pick your comp they would be okay I guess.
I have gotten the modifier that makes you tiny, and I was started on Widow, then got Hanzo, and then Freya.
Aerial Combat - Got Doom, you’d think it would be cool yeet yourself super far. The problem is that your momentum runs out and you’re just kind of slowly going along. You have no way to trigger the damage except for touching the ground. If you use your punch you lose the damage from the first, your left click is terrible. Honestly this modifier really hurts most of the tanks.
Then we get to the matchmaking, which seems to be designed to make the matches as painful as possible. I’d even take the QP matchmaking that everyone claims is terrible over this matchmaking. Like it’s starting to make me believe everyone’s conspiracy theories.
I pushed through my games and that’s it, I don’t know if I’d touch it if they gave legendary loot boxes next time.

the mode just reveals how little blizzard know about their own playerbase. Most players don’t know how to play all of the roster - so forcing them to play all heroes is a huge modifier already. There’s no need to apply other nonsense - mystery heroes is the peak mode for “random fun”. Instead it lies dead in my region

they did.
5v5 wasn’t the core gamemode btw.
that used to be 6v6 oq no hero limits, then became 6v6 hero limits, became 6v6 rq, became 
5v5 rq.
they in fact deleted the core game mode.
You tell me where is 6v6 rq without perks, show me where my core gamemode is.
then I wouldn’t have to complain about random side kick modes that waste space that could be uses for a real original core gamemode that made the game actually great.

but thats exactly what showdown shuffle is now…yet another case where they decided “you know what would be fun? throw in crazy modifiers and make everything whacky, huehuehuehue”
why i made my post the other day…the devs over the past year have seemingly decided that the way to make the game fun is to go to the work shop and throw darts. Whatever it lands on just throw it into the game!!!
even when stuff is already well received (M&M / spirit showdown), throw more stuff at it!!!

It’s so bad. The mode is trying to do too much. I hate it. Getting really sick of how many add-ons there are in the game. Like how about fix match making instead? I don’t want 10 perks when they can’t even balance the base game.

I’m just not big on the affixes. Mini maxing in particular. I did like the spirit showdown mode, and it kinda just needed the assists counter for swapping that showdown shuffle has now.
None of the modes with randomized, mid-match hero changes have been any fun to me. I really wish they’d stop forcing them for event rewards. They don’t run particularly well either, technically.

I was going to do it for the loot boxes but it is not even worth it.. I feel like every event game mode is worse than the last one.. I literally get swapped to a diffferent hero during an ultimate mid swing of killing someone… how is this fun… just put in more PVE modes and stop trying this garbage.

Worst gamemode I’ve being in
lost all 12 games in a row with it (upd 14)
Most boring one is when all of you small and you get like genji or widow and swap to worst heroes for small size and it’s stalling the payload for 15 mins
Never was i so frustrated with an arcade mode

As much as I’ve been having some fun with regular mystery heroes, this shuffle is way worse. Normal MH you swap when you die, so just be smart and don’t die (unless enemy team gets a massive nuke of a team comp). In shuffle not only you switch after after dying, but also after getting a kill or three assists as support and if that wasn’t enough, you get these stupid meme mods. I had small size and extra speed once and I swear, someone who’s likely to suffer from motion sickness would throw up. My friend looked at it and I told her she wouldn’t like it cause of that.
The only thing it has going for it is that it’s mystery heroes with role queue and I would use that, cause I level up tanks in regular games. The PotGs are a bit funny as it’s gonna show a Hanzo intro, but then it’s Reaper and a Mercy.
That’s certainly a description.
As much as I was meh on perks, until I can have my Orisa shield again and by picking that removing Zarya trying to charge me with her beam.
