I don’t get it why does everyone say game is poorly balanced, matchmaking is terrible, shop is stupid, game bad, I don’t get???
Most of the complaints are from hard Comp players, who get stuck into the same matchups due to some characters being outright better than others at the moment. It’s very boring.
As for the shop… dude, a bundle to get one Echo skin and Highlight is $31 (discounted to $22 upon release to make you think its a steal). It’s embarassing.
Because the forums are just here for people to complain. Most players don’t feel that way, but most players don’t post on the forums.
Well, for me matchmaking was always bad, i mean plats and masters should not mix in ranked games in my opinion, but blizz be like “yea no problem, let them learn how smurfing feels like” for long time now.
From what i see in people reactions it just got worse… so i dont have any problems understanding why people say that sucks.
For the game itself, i liked stuff they chaged/removed from it so yea…
Shop, well before there was far less stuff you had to spend money on to get, more chance to grind things so thats what grind people gears now i guess.
I guess you just have different preferences, and that is real answer to your confusion on this part.
Don’t get what?. This game has terrible matchmaking, slow balancing, bp sucks, arcade sucks, challenge sucks, no progression & so on.
No one would remember this game for PvP. It will be remembered as a good pve game. Whenever that comes out.
There are some obvious issues, but also lots of positive things about this game.
In forums usually people complain.
You will rarely see posts about “how wonderful everything is”, in every forum of any game/company/service.
It’s just got a numerous amount of flaws that cause severe trouble that they seem to be having issues fixing in a prompt enough manner for people’s patience level.
1.) Hero Balancing
Some heroes did not adapt well to the new 5v5 era, such as Roadhog, causing him to be insufferable to fight against due to insane survivability and his one-shot, as picks matter more.
Junkrat and maybe a couple of others debatedly do too much damage for only 1 tank in a 5v5 sitiation.
Sojourn has become increasingly apparent to be a bit of a “Brigitte 2.0” where they were so powerful they seemingly have no idea how to bring down her prominence(the first nerf ended up a net buff, etc.)
Conversely, Brigette has almost no place in the game now. She’s just unable to compete and many other supports are just miserable to play because of being easily dropped, no escapes, etc.
2.) Battle Pass
It is lackluster and lacks any real sense of reward due to how slow it progresses and overall “take home” pales in comparison to almost any other game that offers it.
Locking characters behind the BP was a big no-no but here we are.
3.) Matchmaking
It’s horrible. Its stomp or be stomped. I’ve had matches where I’m completely unable to do anything and matches where I’ve sworn I was fighting AI. Neither are fun.
4.) Additional Modes
Arcade and other modes are terribly designed with the new redesigned roles in the game. You must play tanks. There is zero incentive to pick any DPS role in those modes as it is a handicap.
the people that enjoy this game are playing the game, not complaining on the forums. many people still enjoy this game, but those that don’t are just louder.
extremely unrewarding grind system
ridiculous overpriced store
hilariously bad matchmaking
balance being all over the place
FIVE EXTRA BULLETS
leavers being a literal plague
and many more i missed, feel free to add them to the list
