Yes, I still sometimes play this dead game, and quick match mode is just trash. Matchmaking does not exist there. Always get only Abathurs (even at the same time in different teams). Tank gets about once in 5 games. And for a tank to get together with a healer is just an incredible event!
Is it really so hard to make sure that every match has a tank and a healer? I am ready to wait 5-10 minutes, if only I get a team of normal heroes, and not another clown-fiesta game. In 10 years you have not been able to make sensible matchmaking… just shame on you.
Also, why should I (a player who has been playing this game since its release and formerly a member of the diamond league) play on the same team with players literally from bronze 5? I think there is no need to tell at what level their playing skills are.
It feels like quick match is just a dump that throws absolutely any players into, no matter what.
I’m not interested in other modes. Especially hero league or draft. I don’t want to “sweat” there and constantly waste time on bans and hero selections.
Sometimes I play aram, but the situation there is no better. It’s even hard for players there to choose a normal team with a tank and a support.
So, do something to improve matchmaking or let this game die already!
strange, in my QM games I 90% of time have both a healer and at least 1 warrior or bruiser. And before you say bruiser isn’t a tank - believe me, until you get to Diamond it doesn’t matter. There are a couple of bruisers that are more melee assassins (Thrall, Ragnaros), but most bruisers are perfectly serviceable tanks.
In fact my gripe with matchmaking is that it’s TOO governed by rules. If you play an invisible character - you’re practically guaranteed to face off against another inviser, Tracer or Genji. If you play a Chromie - there will be a dive assassin on the enemy team to shut you down.
And so on.
I don’t like that at all.
I’m certain they change it, so if one team has a tank/healer, the other team will also have it. That was done quite a while ago
I think you should let yourself die personally and not tell Blizzard what the hell to do with their game.
I think it’s hard to improve until everyone knows how the hell it works.
There is no description of the matchmaking system so I will start from my many years of experience:
The matchmaking system of Storm League
It takes around 1 minute to get you into the hero selection screen.
The players are around your rank which in my case Bronze 5.
It automatically chooses the leader of the team and they decide which hero gets banned and I think the leader is usually the highest ranked player on the team.
I don’t know how long the hero selection process is, usually takes around 5 minutes or less.
You cannot unban a hero which is banned.
If you get the choice to ban a hero there is a timer of 30 seconds.
You can’t select a hero which has already been selected.
You can’t select a hero which is not on your hero roster.
I think it said you have to have 20 heroes to enter Storm League.
You can select a free to play hero to play in Storm League.
You can select upto 6 roles to play in Storm League but they are just suggestions as far as I know, you can select those roles but no one is forced to play those roles but I could be wrong on that, I actually think if you pick a role you should be forced to play that role or the MM system should force you to leave during the hero selection screen.
I think that is wrong, I think you should start with £50 worth of gold that you paid for by purchasing the game and you should be able to purchase any hero with that amount just read the hero difficulty description and talents and go into try mode but it’s hidden in the shop for some reason, that is a mess.
How can Blizzard do what they tell you if you don’t give them actual constructive critisism?
