Under this new system it allows a Rank 65 dude to queue with a Rank 45 dude, using Season 1 as a reference. That's a pretty loving generous gap.

It's pretty weird to bring up 1HL as an example of balance theater since that was something that a lot of competitive players actually did want to see and Blizzard was even resistant to it at first until they realized that they weren't going to convince anyone that six Tracer overtime spam was a feature.

Let me help. Jastiger posted:Yeah pretty much confirmed, they just silenced my account again and I"ve been making it a strict point NOT to use the chat function. People get mad at turret placements or class selections and report based on that. How incredibly stupid. Jastiger posted:Wow the game kicked me for inactivity as i was setting up turrets at the attacking teams spawn. I guess you have to take damage or something or it'll kick you out. I was even shielding allies and stuff. What a stupid mechanic. "I contributed nothing to the game for a minute, why would I get reported." Also this is a man who once got probated/banned from League of Legends for constantly mentioning the Iowa State Cyclones. Like ten times in a game, across tens of games. He was also told to no longer post in League of Legends threads because he won't stop whining about how ridiculous Ignite and Flash were (key mechanics of the game). Seriously, you did some dumb poo poo related to a dumb game. Zephyrine posted:I would be surprised if the system was automated to the point where 6 reports in one game gets you silenced. You don't weigh reports by multiple people higher than individual reports since that would make it easy to gang up on people (with people queuing together). But yeah, we don't know exactly how the system works. The people who got punished certainly don't know how it works and judging by this thread are oblivious about how their actions are perceived by others. But hey you know what, I think I'll start playing nothing but offensive Torb from now on. I think I'm a pretty chill guy (humble too!), so I'll be the ultimate litmus test. Should I talk in chat or be quiet? You decide. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Aug 22, 2016 |

Based on you talking about getting kicked for being AFK in an active game which is pretty hard to do unless you're just deliberately loving around or have legitimately stepped away from the keyboard I'm inclined to believe that you probably aren't an innocent victim of circumstance, no. It's okay though because you'll still continue to shitpost here to your heart's content I'm sure.

Help Im Alive posted:I opened my final summer games lootbox and I guess I'm destined to never get the Swiss Mercy skin, oh well (I got South Korea D.Va today though so that's something) I did manage to get American McCree and Swiss Mercy, which were the main two things I wanted, but contrary to the official statement Blizzard put out, I definitely didn't get a "sense of reward and accomplishment" out of it. Oh yes Blizz I'm very proud that some electronic dice rolled in my favour. All the event needed was some means-- any means at all-- of intentionally working towards a particular item. Then again, that would alleviate the pressure to buy loot boxes, which from a bean-counting perspective was the whole point.

Will you get a leaver penalty for leaving games during setup in quickplay? People tend to take a very long time to pick their characters (also what's up with this) and sometimes you don't get to find out your team wants two snipers or no tanks or whatever until setup. I know you can be considered backfill if you get placed in during setup (which I am eternally grateful for) so I'm guessing yes.

People tend to take a very long time to pick their characters (also what's up with this) and sometimes you don't get to find out your team wants two snipers or no tanks or whatever until setup. I think for QP, you won't get a penalty until people can control their characters. If you backfill, and people are controlling their characters, then I believe you will if you leave.

In the old system I would have said that twenty ranks difference like that was way too much, but the new system is allegedly spreading people out more so I will wait to see if 1000 ranks is as much a difference as 20.

Manatee Cannon posted:master/grand master is still 10 ranks tho Master starts at 3500, and if you transposed it directly to a 1-100 scale, that would be 70. However, Kaplan said they're spreading the curve out so that people land in a wider range of tiers, so theoretically a 3500 might be closer to a 60.

One hero limits protect against balance incompetency (which is definitely necessary with Blizzard behind the wheel) . My problem with limits is that they help to make the game less interesting. I would be in favor of a two of a kind hero limit.

1 hero limit is a good thing and keeps comp from being lovely like QP.

they could try what pro tf2 does and have different limits for different heroes (like you can have 2 reapers but 1 mercy or w/e) but I don't think blizzard would be down for that

Bolow posted:Yes, because I can't fault any system that gets you to shut the gently caress up Wow toxic. Reported. One hero per team is a necessity for comp. Leave it off qp so you can learn and have fun comps. I could see them adding a mode, maybe scrimmage or exhibition mode, where they have the same rules as competative, but without the ranking. This way you can have "serious" games without the skill barriers to groups and stuff. But leave qp as the "futz around and learn" mode.

I don't have faith in their ability to balance these characters without extended periods of bullshit balance. At least with maybe 12 choices theyd have a chance.
