no reason to play comp. poor and can’t afford smurf accounts to throw off the horrible mmr. blizz is looking at top 500s for its new esports endeavor. broken rank system makes it all but pointless. ive been here since launch day waiting for a decent system, coming back every so often in hopes there was some change. but nah. which is fine and all, if sr wasn’t touted as being anywhere close to representative of someone’s skill. csgo is meh. and there’s not really a good modern shooter to attempt going pro in. splatoon maybe? i dumped 2k hours and got s+99 just in case a chance arises… but i’d really rather blizz get off their behinds with balancing and ranking. their other games have always been top quality in every regard. i really don’t know why theyre failing so miserably with this one
edit: the atmosphere, too… it’s overran by snowflakes who cry about bullying and toxicity, ultimately creating a source for spite and even more toxicity and becoming fuel for the very thing nobody wants in the first place. Look, so many games have been and are much, muuuch more “toxic” than this one. Guess what? They were and/or are much, muuuch healthier than this one! Because when you lash at people for every little expression, you oppress them. Oppressive behavior is celebrated here, is what I’m saying. I’m also saying “toxicity” against these people is justified, as they’re literally doing what they’re accusing people of.
It absolutely kills any pleasure I take from the game when I know that I could be doing next to nothing on Mercy and be more help to my team than when I try my butt off with Ana.
Barely any hero tweaks unlike in other games. If the game stays the exact same for over two years. There’s not much going for it. It’s like ESO, but slowly improving except it took one year for ESO to get themselves together.
I don’t think it’s really the reason I don’t play much anymore but I think the amount of hard CC in this game. Mostly it has to deal with how I am with every game, I just stop playing every game after a while.
I really want there to be a support character introduced that has an ability that makes an ally CC immune for a short amount of time. I know Zarya has that ability with her shield but thats just a secondary effect.
my winrate. it’s basically WLWLWL. The first game of the day is a win, no
matter how bad I play, and the second to a win comes a lose, no matter how hard I try.
ranking sustem, just drop me back to diamond or let me go to the mid masters already lol
3dps comps…they never win but it seems to be the most common comp though the meta is far from that.
Teamates giving up after a bad round. Next round it’s usually 5 dps
Horrendous balancing. It’s almost as if they really don’t play the game.
Mercy…while still my main i go back through my old clips and see the real “hero’s never die” and it doesn’t stop hurting that they changed her for no statistical reason.
Individualism.
Not reacting as a member of a team in general. Not helping a player in need with backup fire, healing or protection. Not grouping up, not picking a decent comp.
75% of QP games.
For me it’s the constant Blizzard interferings. They just can’t stop it. Always godbuffing or smashnerfing heroes, and constantly reworking existing heroes which is killing the essential of that hero’s playstyle, and why someone loved to play it.
And because of that, the game is, and will remain constantly unballanced and a huge pile of mess. I can risk to say that the game was even more ballanced when it came out. Even wth stupidly broken abilities on some heroes.
to say what is killing my mood to play would involve giveing out infermation about my self that i do not give out to people lightly and this forum being as toxic as it is. i know that opening my mouth and saying anything about my self as a person in real life will bring about 2 things. someone being toxic or someone trying to show pitty on me. i wanth neither so you get the short answer
but in short. i dont play. becuse i dont “feel” like playing. if that makes any since you anyone
-the insane amount of hanzo and brigitte “mains” in competitive
-idiotic teammates that just don’t want to switch their heroes like defiant little children
-toxic behavior and “switching to torb because i am mad”
-the obvious contempt of blizzard in not listening to the players
-stun meta
-not being able to block obnoxious players to get matched with you (I know you can block 2 people for 7 days - but thats ridiculous)
