My experience with blitz

battleground blitz is peak :mountain_snow: unhinged game design :brain::boom:. it’s like someone at Blizzard said:
“hey :wave: what if we took all the structure out of battlegrounds :world_map::x:, removed any need for strategy :brain::no_entry_sign:, shrunk the teams :busts_in_silhouette::arrow_right::bust_in_silhouette:, cranked the chaos to max :fire::control_knobs:, and gave every stealth class :man_detective::dash: a free pass to cosplay as the Zodiac Killer :hocho::scroll:?”

and everyone else at the table went “yeah sounds fun :+1:
it’s not fun.:skull::skull::skull:

you spawn in :man_standing::arrow_right::skull:, and 7 people instantly mount up :racehorse::dash: and scatter like it’s a mario kart track :wheel:—no coordination, no strategy, just chaos and boosted speed boosts :traffic_light::fire:

no one defends :shield::x:. no one peels :cyclone::x:. healers are extinct :t_rex::skull:. your rogue is out here roleplaying a blade of grass :ear_of_rice::man_detective:, and your hunter turtles the second a breeze hits him :leaves::scream:—panic trinkets :unlock: at the slightest cc :fist_right::boom: while backpedaling with a level of finesse so clean it’d make MJ moonwalk from the grave :man_dancing::dizzy::headstone:

you spend 90% of the game with your team moving in a conga line of death, one by one, single-filing into objectives like it’s a dance party choreographed by darwinism :man_cartwheeling: :clown_face:. no strats, no comms—just vibes :dancer:, dying one after another without even thinking of pressing a single defensive. :skull_and_crossbones:

teamfighting in blitz is just 6 dps foaming at the mouth :soap::brain:, hitting everything except the same target—like a mosh pit where nobody knows the lyrics :guitar::metal:. it’s pure button-mashing chaos :video_game::boom: while the enemy team rotates with clinical precision :brain::bar_chart: like it’s game nine of the AWC grand finals, and we’re the tutorial bots spinning in place :face_with_spiral_eyes:

wanna attack? good luck :crossed_fingers:—your team’s too busy RP-walking :man_walking::walking_woman: in slow, confused circles around mid like malfunctioning robots :robot::repeat: stuck in pathfinding hell :fire:, emoting at empty air :dancer::wind_face: while the enemy caps every objective uncontested :checkered_flag::dart:.

someone just /danced on a corpse and planted the flag of ownership :skull::man_dancing::black_flag:
another one’s inspecting transmogs like it’s a runway show :dress::mag_right:
this isn’t a battleground—it’s a multiplayer lobotomy :brain::warning::electric_plug:

and the best part? you queue for another match right after :video_game::arrow_right::fire:
because you think:
“maybe this one’ll be better :crossed_fingers::slightly_smiling_face:
it won’t. :x::skull:

every blitz match is just a speedrun to psychological breakdown :brain::bomb::stopwatch:
ggs tho :v:
10/10 :star::star::star::star::star:
never doing it again unless i have to for content :movie_camera::chart_with_downwards_trend:
which i do :neutral_face:
so i will :+1:
send help :rotating_light::sos::pray:

Sooo. Queue syncing works for Blitz. There are youtube videos of doing it, explaining how and why it is done. Basically 4 players out of the 16 are deciding the match outcome, sometimes to make an income.

I think you need an epilepsy (seizure) warning at the start of your post dude. (seriously)

When they ask us all if there were signs, we can point to this post.

Blitz is mostly fine.

Still had to like your post for creativity though… Max emojis, I like it :rofl: hell of a lot better than chat gpt.

It is my understanding that if you’re willing to stay up to around midnight, the ques get better. You could try that, if you care.

Its like a WoW Forum mural, nice.

My first post still holds though, some poor sob is gonna end up in a hospital…
