Any particular reason why stadium matchmaker is just one sided stompfest?

thanks

Oh I know,

Blind hero picks. Whichever side gets countering heroes wins. Very little cash at start means players can’t itemize to fill weaknesses. Counter-lucky team starts a snowball from first round. Boost for losing side is miniscule, so that also doesn’t help the unpsychic team. Countering team usually has first epic item on second round while losing team has 1 rare, 2 rares if they are lucky and weren’t spawncamped for some reason. Then the stompfest continues until third round mercy rule, sometimes fourth round. Mercy rule hahaha another excellent word, thanks for having mercy on us devs we don’t get humiliated one more round we can have a little of our psychology intact instead of straight to mental hospital from all the stompfests.

Literally who pressed the go button on such a flawed design, an environment made for heroes countering one another you can’t swap heroes. At least let people select 2 heroes at start and they are allowed to swap to their other hero once upon a losing round or something…

I had a game where my tank was DVA. Enemy team has Zarya, Mei and Moria.
DVA complained that we didn’t heal him enough while face tanking that line up.

Well, dva against zarya does need a crazy amount of heal. I think the best support for dva is Mercy. Because she can stack both her power and her item to heal 45% more for teammates below 50% hp, and all mercy need is weapon dmg, even her ult uses weapon dmg if you picked the valkrie power. I had a game where my zarya with +50 weapon dmg and code breaker does nothing against their dva, and the more dmg you do, the more ults the enemy mercy has, and her ult does 150+ hps and dmg boost to the entire team for 20 seconds, and ulted 3 times in a round with over 10k heals, more than the rest of healers in the lobby combined.
