If it's not a premade, it's gonna be after one or both teams were in queue for around ~20m. Happens more often at the higher grades, where there's a dozen or so people on at any given moment.

Khorne posted:So people who played before, still check the thread, but aren't playing much lately, are you waiting for the next patch? Yeah I'm waiting for a patch. I really enjoy the game but it's unpolished right now and the outside-game UI has a lot of room for improvement. The #1 thing I probably want is automated tournaments, more than new maps/heroes.

I'm waiting for the unranked matchmaking patch to drop. Also, I'm hoping they fix the sound stuttering bug that occasionally appears.

Doing a double-queue seems like a great way to not split the players between 3s and 2s. Also I got one of my friends to bite on this game and we won a bunch of games, lots of fun when you can callout targets properly.

Khorne posted:Unranked matchmaking is bad and the game shouldn't have it at all. There's no need to split up the player base. Losing a handful of mmr in ranked is not a big deal. Having long queues is. I don't mind trashing my rating learning new characters but it sucks pulling a random person along for the ride. Being able to queue for 2s and 3s at the same time should mitigate some of the downsides of queue splitting.

If I've learned anything from it, the lower-tier people hate their teammates (while also sucking as much as their teammates that they hate), and the middle-tier people realize things happen and don't care as much. I just got this game last night, I've never played a fighting game or moba/rts. It seems fun but I've just been messing around with different characters in training and reading guides. Learning cooldowns of characters I want to play/main moves of characters in general. I know I'll be bad for a while, and oh well, but for some reason I'm scared to go into a real match.

GR12 generally thins out the public freak out people. Although I'm sure gr12+ get frustrated with losses because they lose a poo poo ton of mmr. There are some known ragers in the top 200 still. I don't think I've lost the times it has put a gr12 on my team and they are usually nice. I've had tons of ragers the past few days blaming their mistakes on me. A poloma who did like 28 damage and 80 protection 1v1 vs an ashka while constantly running away from me and the middle was mad enough to afk after the second round because I wasn't carrying him hard enough. In fact, it's usually Poloma/Varesh/Taya players who freak out constantly. Those heroes attract autists who think they're good when they're useless. I will note that I don't type things to my teammates unless they talk trash first. Everyone has bad games or screws up. I've been the bad varesh many times personally. I usually type "try using lmb" if they give me awful advice while doing really subpar damage. Also, the worse someone is the more they cry. And people have super unrealistic expectations about what a croak can and can't do, especially against shifu (which is a fine matchup, but you can't just sit there aaing non-stop as a croak you need to bait counters and play around your cooldowns and not take a million damage for no reason). It's bizarre when you get complimented by gr12s on the other team and your dumbass gr10 teammate won't shut up about how garbage you are while throwing round after round with their own play.

strong bird posted:Spoken like a true frog player. Scumbag I mostly picked him up to play Ranid+Jade, because a lot more people can play Jade than Ranid. My highest win rates are shifu and ashka. Those heroes both really own in solo queue because they go well with pretty much anything. Oldur seems pretty solid too. My favorite ashka button is his ex Q. Second favorite is anything involving his space. All of shifu's buttons are real good. I refuse to play Bakko. I don't think he's op or anything, but I am avoiding playing him. I really want to play Taya, but learning her right click all over again is just annoying. And if you aren't good with that then pack it up and go home. edit: vvv ex spit is hilarious. The way people react to it is the funniest. Some of them blow everything immediately and others just wander aimlessly. The third type of player switches between the two helplessly. actual gameplay footage of how bad I am, notice that I have camo up but don't stun the oldur before he can space with my ult. There are a million other mistakes in this as well. Thankfully, my opponents are worse. That's also one of the few rounds I used my ult in all night. Was also round 1 so my leap didn't heal me and camo didn't make me move real fast. Khorne fucked around with this message at 09:30 on Oct 18, 2016 |

I wish I could play this more but half the times I queue up it takes several minutes and then gives dumb matches 75% of the time like a 3 grade difference or pre-mades against solo queue or no support vs 1 support in 3s.

Was duoing with a queue friend and matched up into two g12s. We beat them so hard in round one they went on tilt and started yelling at each other in all chat in the middle of the second round. Third round they just ran to mid and let us kill them. Good times. e. Also everyone in the top 1000 or so seems to be friendly to each other, but that may have more to do with the fact you're still playing the same people over and over again, and half of them are streaming

This is a good game. No beginners play 3s in my area but 2s is p. quick. It's very common to see the same people over a half dozen games.

I don't think I've lost the times it has put a gr12 on my team and they are usually nice. This is me (though not top 200), I get frustrated here and there because I'm stuck in gr13/12 limbo. MMR ratings will often give zero points or less than 10 for wins, but a single loss? 25 to 30 point loss. If I play solo the pool is small enough that it'll often place gr10 and lower with me against two g12s, if I play with my mate when he is on it's a 5 minute wait for a game, and a win is usually 1 point or 0. Losses are death. I apologise if I ever get tilted and let it out in chat. The points don't matter so much, but it wears you down after a win streak to earn 15 points, then one loss blows out 30 :-[ Waiting on the patch now anyways.

Geekslinger posted:Update on the Unranked queue and splitting the playerbase. This sounds like a lot of complexity for essentially the same queue in the end. I got over the "fear" of losing arbitrary numbers pretty fast and just played normally. If the entire game is on the ladder, then there's no "ladder", if you get me? I have a feeling that having an unranked mode will just increase the prevalence of ladder anxiety.

I feel like there loads of people who either play ranked or unranked exclusively where the distinction is available. I see no real benefit to splitting the playerbase even more.

23-2 in my last 25 croak games boys. MMR grind is dumb as poo poo in this game. It's like your point gain doesn't line up with the internal evaluation of rating after the placement period, because every game is like me (gr10) with a gr9 vs gr11s or gr10+gr11 with the occasional gr12s thrown in, usually on the other team. Most of the games were 3-0 or 3-1 wins also, so that's not why the grind is taking ages. edit: right, I've only gained like 100-200 rating.
