The no mirror system is horrible, here’s why:
- Its day one of the new season, obviously people want to try the newly added heroes, yet they can’t, why? Because only one team gets one of each character.
- The way the draft works leads to heavy one sided compositions that perfectly align to have an advantage over other team. Example: the other team picked Zarya, Genji, Moira and Reaper. Even when we have a Winston (that could manage the Genji), they have reaper to deal with him. We don’t have beam characters to deal with deflect. Proceed to get destroyed by Genji.
- It lets you see what you’re up against even before starting the game. This isn’t even a thing in normal comp. Yes, you can counter swap in comp. But in Stadium it takes away from having to build against what you’re up against to win (which is one of the best features of Stadium). Go back to #2 and see why it wouldn’t matter your build if you have already a bad composition.
- People get frustrated and leave or throw, cause they’re helpless. Although this was kind of a thing in Stadium overall, add to that that people aren’t necessarily playing the heroes they wanted, so it just makes the situation worse.
- You risk a possible season ban for leaving constantly. The above reasons serve as incentives for people to leave matches, so now you’re stuck having no fun in a 20+ minute match.
I honestly don’t know who was the “genius” at Blizzard which thought this would be a great idea. This system will absolutely kill Stadium numbers. Oh! But we HAD to try it out! Even when more than 90% of the comments of the core audience were saying what a horrible idea it was even before the patch. The person that suggested this system should be fired on the spot. And finally, who even asked for this system and how would ANYONE on their right mind think it was a great idea? You need to scrap this trash asap.
Edit: since this post is most likely gonna be closed/deleted because the weak people that are at fault cannot tolerate to hear the truth, let me go out with a bang!: whoever is responsible for this ishy behind system should feel bad and know that they Cracker Barreled Stadium. We tired of your ishy behind ideas. Fix it! Or see your concurrent players go down fast! GARBAGE SYSTEM!! Stop putting your “genius ideas” to the test. If it worked, LEAVE IT THE F ALONE!!!
