Stadium Mode Feedback - Quick Summary (From Devs)

Posted 3.31 pm

Blizzard shared early feedback on Stadium mode after launch. Here are the key takeaways:

Top 3 issues raised:

No Crossplay Support: Devs agree and plan to enable it via a patch (possibly mid-Season 16).

High Leaver Rate: Data shows it’s not higher than Ranked. Still under review.

Performance on Older Systems: Confirmed issue, especially for low-end PCs. Improvements are being explored.

Other Notes:

Hero Balance: Too early to judge, but devs are monitoring complaints about oppressive heroes.

XP Bug: Battle Pass XP sometimes displays as 0—visual bug only. XP is still granted.

Comp Points: Currently too low; will be increased mid-Season 16.

They are going to need to review harder. GIVE. US. PROGRESSION. WHEN. WE. DESTROY. NOOBS

I am losing more interest in this mode. Now cross play in comp.

This is probably the most causal hardcore game mode on the internet.

Nerf Lucio’s speed builds. Actually nerf the Lucio’s who go speed boosts builds because I find them oppressive and they go these builds and barely heal. There are Moira’s that do this too and it isn’t fun when one healer pretty much holds their teams win/loss on their backs trying to heal their team while the Lucio/Moira is literally only doing damage but they are the first to complain about losses but don’t accept criticism when asked to do some healing. There needs to be some form of limits set on those sort of builds but that’s just my opinion.

Soldiers rocket build needs a nerf too the damage is way too high considering there are homing rockets involved. Mcree’s fan the hammer builds are broken. I get experimenting with these builds is meant to be a fun aspect for players but some of them have just gone too far.

I hope this never happens. I don’t want to play with aim assist/XIM users.

Well since very few players play comp this would be easy to determine. However there is no incentive to stay in a match you are 100% guaranteed to lose. Leaver on your team is a loss everyone knows this.

Based on a Directors take that came out after this thread was posted the Crossplay mode will be coming in s17 and be Unranked.
Link to Directors take. Relevant info is in the graphic about half the page down outlining the current Stadium roadmap. That mode is potentially going to go down to best of 5 instead of best of 7/ first to 4, but is still being cooked up.

Can JQ royal bullets power get a buff just remove the headshot requirement for wounds to be applied by scattergun and boom because there’s literally zero reason to pick it over her other powers (shout reset on elim, wounding shouts, double carnage, bow down, or thrill of the hunt) I feel like a nice added buff to royal bullets would get people to pick other powers to use I would love to variety of builds and I feel like it would fit into her gameplay even more remove the range requirement and headshot requirement and boom queen wounds you with hits from scatter gun royal bullets could have a better pick rate in her power line up
