When the number crunchers realized you get more money from long time players if you make them wait for more boxes.

all of my friends told me that I would get fast EXP when I finally got past level 100, but Christmas is ruined now.

Well what are you going to do, automatically kick people who keep falling off the map.

temp banning people who have been in the game for several minutes and haven't scored any points or dealt any damage would be a start yeah.

why/when did they take out the thing where you reset your EXP when you go back to level 1? i was looking forward to getting a quick succession of loot boxes for christmas for my first prestige but i guess not.

yea, this is the quoted reason for redoing it this way, people would get to the next prestige level or whatever and just sit for the next event to come out to get a fat stack of seasonal loot boxes.

and when you hit quick play again it puts you in the same server you just left lol. idk, it was just frustrating seeing people griefing so blatantly and theres no measures in place to cut that poo poo out, i guess it doesnt matter since its rare anyway

yeah they noticed a lot of people would just stop playing at 100 and boot up the game for events. at least the reduced the xp needed per level by a good bit so it wasn't purely to gently caress people over lol

The simplest solution is put in votekick. They already have it so if someone leaves everyone else can get a loss whether they leave or keep playing and if you make people who get kicked after the first minute or whatever take a loss, which they deserve for getting kicked and probably moreso since in Competitive no bot takes your place and you'd have to be really hosed up to be kicked, no one can abuse it for their ELO like in CS or whatever.

Cuz in this game unless you're like playing Mei or taking up the slot of a Reinhardt there's no way you not being there is better than having at least a body for the other team to be shooting so no one's going to be able to pass a spite kick.

problem with votekick is the exact situation i saw today, where its a 3-squad of guys being dicks so any vote out of 6 to try and kick them will fail. think the game should just detect when someone is making no effort whatsoever and that would be pretty simple to do when you earn points for doing p. much anything at all

I've been getting too toxic when I play this because the game is so boring now past Diamond level cuz three tanks sucks a huge one. Might have to put it on ice. Though I have found out that I'm a pretty big D.Va fan... But meh. I just get bored looking at what character I wanna be cuz the match is gonna be 6 tanks staring at each other waiting for their ults to come up for 40 mins a pop... Makes me sick.

i have a lot of fun with quickplay if im playing with buds and stuff, but comp stacking tanks and shields sounds lame. it's not fun to fight a bunch of doorstops like mei and dva that were designed to be annoying for offense to deal with

Well in quick play all the comps are Widowmaker Hanzo Soldier Genji D.Va and Zenyatta on one team vs Reinhardt D.Va Zarya/Hog Symmetra Soldier/Good Widowmaker Lucio/Ana (the boiler plate real way you play the game now comp) so it's boring for an entirely different reason, in that you either just mercilessly run over the other team or you're on the team that has brain damage lmao. And in that boredom I turn into a monster because there's nothing else to do except just quit otherwise. In Competitive I'm just my normal chill self since neither team has anything to do most of the time but at least it's running both ways. I wish the Mystery Heroes mode didn't have to be the same two turd rear end maps that require coordination, and I wonder why they haven't made all random KOTH yet or whatever, since I'm a fan of the mystery heroes but I don't understand only having two of the most difficult to attack maps in Hana and Kings Row for a completely random mode.

i have fun stomping people with friends haha, but in solo queue i def. feel you. you're either crushing a bunch of dumbasses or you are the dumbasses. but, i mean, name a team game that doesnt have this problem lol

the KOTH maps are definitely way more fun than the AB point maps and the silly arcade modes should really revolve around them. mystery heroes is not fun when you need to make a coordinated push through a chokepoint with 3 bastions while defense rolled a perfect comp

my personal Tracer Style, speaking as a prestigious Gold-Ranked Player

- in fights, wait until they start aiming at you, then blink to the side. repeat as needed (while shooting the whole time). this is especially infuriating to roadhog players.
- if you take more than like 10 points of damage, recall. better to recall too early than too late!
- if you're out of blinks, it's probably time to leave the fight.
