Why did they remove mh in s14?

Bruh just opened up season 14 and why did they remove classic mystery heroes??? It was already annoying that they prioritized rqmh in unranked, but at least normal mystery heroes was pinned in arcade. But now it’s just gone??? Annoying as hell. Hopefully it’s not done away with altogether. But i swear lately blizzard is determined to ruin everything I’ve enjoyed about this game for 7 years :roll_eyes:

I am logging in and posting for the first time in forever just for this same issue. I almost exclusively play MH, and not the RQ version. And to kill it off (even temporarily) is so annoying. They need to get rid of RQ and just bring it back!

And this is why I kept telling people who kept saying “what’s the big deal if it’s still in the arcade?” that it is cause for concern…cause stuff in the arcade gets moved

I’m not at home…is there more stuff than normal in the arcade? (Event modes?) or does it look like they gave it the standard “on rotation” treatment that nobody asked for when they shoved it aside for not actually MH (RQMH)

Yeah the have some winter stuff showing up…

Yes, classic MH is the only mode I play as the role queue gets more toxic when you don’t strictly play your role and enjoy the more random elements and variation in play of classic MH. Hopefully they bring it back soon, don’t see playing again until they bring it back.

Is there any explanation for this at all? In my experience queue times were literally never long and it was easily the most wholesome player community within the game.

RQ MH doesn’t create the same environment. This is devastating.

Same here. Only mode I play and the RQ MH is just Quick play with a twist. It’s not the same.

Agreed, MH is the only consistently fun mode for me, the others are just too sweaty. Looks like customs for me until it returns

I’m trying to do this from memory, so forgive me if I’m a little off, but I believe they have said the algorithm that determines Arcade modes is semi random but they usually set MH in a spot where it can’t shift. However patches sometimes reset the algorithm so MH is not set in that spot.

Meaning you think it’s an error that will get corrected? That’d be amazing.

It probably will be corrected on tomorrow’s Arcade reset. This isn’t the first time this has happened, happened a few months ago after a patch as well, and I believe it was fixed on the next day’s reset.

Basically they know it’s the most popular mode so it’s beneficial to keep it always up.

Þterō, dude, I’m with you. I was so disappointed this afternoon. I posted in another thread and shared my dismay. Classic MH needs to be a static offering (and bring back comp MH while we’re at it).

MH is the best mode. The RQ version feels pointless to me, and queues are longer for it anyway.

Yeah, I guess if there’s no Mystery Heroes anymore, I’ll be finding a new game. I just cannot understand why they’ve not spiked RQ MH and are instead getting rid of the only game mode that’s enjoyable.

Voicing my disappointment as well.

To me, the appeal of Mystery Heroes is that I can play heroes I suck at (the whole DPS roster), and nobody complains about it, because I didn’t choose those heroes. The mode as a whole also feels less toxic than anything else, because everyone knows RNG is likely the reason why a team lost, no need to blame the team.

I do not get the purpose of RQMH, it removes the aspects that make MH chill and entertaining, and just ends up being a more annoying variation of quick play.

Like Devils mentioned above, I do expect this to be a mistake that gets corrected soon, but it’s also a good time to consider simply making the original Mystery Heroes a permanent mode again.

I have never participated in this forum, but logged in to voice my concern as well. RQ MH is not the same as classic. I only log in daily to play classic MH. First they got rid of comp now this :frowning: so disappointting

Give MH back and get rid of the role queue one. It isn’t even really a mystery if you can decide the role.

Oh I didnt know this… this my fav mode to play when high. this makes me really sad.

Yeah, absolutely terrible decision. Original Mystery Heroes was THE mode that made me come back to the game more than anything else, for several years now.
