I play support and I enjoyed stadium at first as it was a new experience but recently its been the most mentally draining experience.
To start before I even get into a game I’m waiting 15 mins minimum to find a match which is insane because I’m barely the gold rank. Then when I finally get a match I have to play against the broken full ad cass or 76 build making it almost impossible to play well because if I build survivability I cant heal enough and if I build to heal I cant survive long enough to heal. Its an endless loop of pain and it making me hate this game mode.
Also I wanted to mention that healing gives so little points that trying to keep up with the dps feels like a pointless endeavour.
Anyway rant over I hope they balance this game mode soon because I want to enjoy this game mode more and to anyone wanting to call me wrong dont bother you will be ignored.
Yea or having to deal with a player leaving your team and making it near impossible to win because, no backfill.
I feel ya on support though it is a struggle in Stadium. Ana only support character I did well with, but that b/c I went dps build with her lol
I’m personally having a lot of fun on support. I would suggest looking up some builds people are running.
I agree with pretty much all of your complaints, and I want to echo in particular the part about points/currency.
It’s not really clear to me how points/currency are calculated, but suffice to say that in practice it works very poorly in Stadium games, and is weighted towards some personal stats that don’t actually make you more likely to win.
It’s very much like when they were still trying to do Competitive rankings based on individual performance, and it suffers all the exact same problems that system suffered (which is why they got rid of it), so I’m very surprised to see them bring it back.
At the end of the round, everyone should just get the same amount of currency to spend. Or at least, it should be the same for everyone on one team.
I just feel like I always get stuck spending like 80% of the match healbotting in stadium
I want to add another point.
This game has built in counters that you cant do anything about. Your team could go dva, genji and be amazing at the game but youll still end up losing because the other team picked mei, zarya and moira. Youll be fighting from a severe disadvantage from the start of the game
Yeah, support feel super weak to me.
