I don’t know why but it seems like a lot of people just despise mystery ffa but why? Personally to me it’s such a fun gamemode and I like it more than regular ffa (because that gamemode is ruined by Moira and Brigitte) but it’s nice to keep me on my toes on what hero I’ll get next, and one time I got a 4 man potg as mercy! But what do you think?

I enjoy picking the character I want to pick. That is really all there is to it. If I get stuck on Hammond and someone else has Hog, I am already put at a disadvantage immediately. And I only play FFA to win because the only reason I am caught dead in arcade when there is no new hero or map is solely for those dank loot-boxes.

I think if they get rid of the respawn as the same hero if you kill your self it would be more enjoyable so you can swap off a hero you don’t like

Because you win or lose based on the roll of a dice.

Welp, i saw in mystery mercy getting double kill at the end and winning so…
Although I’m not the biggest fan of FFA I prefer Mystery over the normal one. It’s better than everyone going Doomfist, McCree, Hanzo, and Brig.

People hate Mystery FFA because it forces you to adapt to a hero with regards to killing your enemies. If you get someone like a Tracer or a Soldier, you have a good chance. If you get someone like a Mercy, it’s a lot harder.

Because I don’t like having to play Zarya for the majority of the time. I like being able to pick based on the heroes that are being played. I don’t like playing against a bunch of randomness. You could end up having to face your counter-hero every time.
If there’s gonna be Mystery FFA, everyone should be the same random hero. No randomness.

People are still able to be Brigitte and Moira in Mystery FFA. There’s even Bastion’s, Torbs, all the annoying heroes. I’d rather have one person play as brig than have to go up against everyone playing a brig, moira, a torb, any other annoying hero you can think of. They just keep cycling in annoying heroes, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s mystery or not, you’re gonna be playing against that sh*t.

Same as any other mode then?
In answer to OP it’s a hard gamemode because of the RNG and people don’t like to lose.
Personally it’s purely luck based, because if you get the main heroes you like to play, you will perform better and you train the heroes you like, while if you get instead the heroes that you never pick and that you most hate, you will get stomped
That’s how I feel about it. It can be annoying but at least I don’t have to listen to Doomfist, Junkrat, Hanzo, Genji etc. all game.

because winning is pretty rng related, if theres 2 really good players for example and 1 gets lucio, orisa , mercy , rein or something bad than the other guy gets genji, tracer , brig, moira. the first dude is going to win just because they got better heroes how boring is that .
I don’t mind it, the different maps are nice and it makes things a bit more even.
Because I want to play characters I want to play - I don’t want to play characters THE GAME decided I should play.
It removes Agency from the player for no reason other then to “spice things up” - which is like tossing a bucket of pepper on a perfectly good ice-cream in order to “spice it up”.
There’s already a Mystery Heroes game mode - If I wanted random heroes, I’d play that one.
I’m not playing that one - guess I don’t want random heroes then.

If they disabled getting the same character more than once in a game, I’d probably enjoy it more.
There are many games where I get Zarya and Orisa 3x in a game and I’d hate it.
If the mode can just cycle through different characters every respawn, I’d enjoy it more.

I’d play it more if I didn’t have to play through 5 games that are 90% finished before it threw me in one that was brand new.
Killing yourself reduces your score, so you’d also need to get rid of that as well.
Mercy is actually REALLY good in mystery ffa, I’ve seen mercy’s rise to the top in my matches I’ve played
I think it is a popular mode.
Most of the people you hear from are the players that only play Arcade to get their boxes. Anything short of a “Role Queue Enabled” mode is seen as unbalanced, unfair, and unfun. Their comments are normally paired with a “put lootboxes in all mode” suggestion.
I love Mystery FFA for the same reason I love MH - it let’s me push my skills with each hero. The power moves away from their ults like in normal modes and comes down to their basic kits. Of course, I hate getting heroes like Zarya specifically because it highlights that I am only strong with her in a team setting (really wish I could bubble enemies). Mercy is another sore spot though I love using her gun. In the end though, I am either pushing my limits with a hero or laughing my sides off.
