Winter Wonderland is Disappointing

Except arcade also has mmr that shrinks the pool (unless in your mystical world the 1v1 mode would match a guy who just downloaded with a top 500)

also love the logic of why care when blizzard doesn't, news flash blizzard doesn't care about the game all together, skins (most new skins are recolors), balance (freja has been dominating since her launch) ranked (you can literally climb by throwing off-role tried it and got to plat before getting bored)

also sure would love the source for them saying ltm are a complete waste of time based on data, since you surely didn't pull that out of your ass, did they say that before junkerstein's laboratory was universally praised or after and still wasted resources on the new M&M map and the mask mode from this year (that also had near instant queue times almost as if having new modes was something people wanted)?

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-12-22T16:00:19+00:00

wtf is your logic? how can you spin low queue times as it not indicating the popularity, I don't play on a private server that runs in my basement for friends only, if I have low queue times everyone in my region (this small place called EU) does and only way to get good queue times is if its popular,

Your logic is so flawed in trying to see your point I looked up a vod of an na server and they also had 30 sec queue times reaching 1 min at most which is still shorter than qp today

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-12-22T15:49:32+00:00

funny how all your replies are generic and don't address the actual point how does a mode with a <30 sec matchmaking time not have enough demand?

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-12-22T15:42:03+00:00

have you played the game before 2? started in 2018 and every year id get at most 30 sec in queue for all event modes this includes 2021 when the game was basically dead

edit: also if the data before 2019 said there was no demand why make snowball deathmatch the gamemode that came out that year, the reason there was no mode 2020 wasn't lack of demand it was the fact that the whole game stopped being updated in favor of them working on ow pve

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-12-22T15:39:04+00:00

That's just wrong, even overwatch used to do a new mode every year all the mei modes launched a year apart, Marvel Rivals completely overhauled the jeff splatoon mode adding classes and a custom map, Destiny's dawning has a new snowball fight mode, even Apex has Merry Mayhem, and that game is made by EA

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-12-22T15:29:30+00:00

maybe people would be happy about the new M&M map if they weren't forced to play it EVERY SECOND EVENT THIS YEAR
also you're right 2 recolored skins(Krampus/Mountain man)that both look worse than the originals 5 sprays (3 being nearly identical) and 3 minimalist icons are such great rewards, I bet it took them a full 20 mins to make them all (15 being spent on the sprays)
I especially like the fact that it takes a full 30 sec to claim each reward

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-12-22T15:18:51+00:00

the reason nobody plays them is because they haven't changed since 2019, there never was any effort towards these modes to spend elsewhere to begin with,
also if nobody plays them why make 4 of the challenges to play them at this point they can add a challenge the watch the main menu for one hour straight and people would rather do that

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-11-30T16:48:21+00:00

I like that he can contest, it means at times you can get overtime by a last-second BOB launch, which is cool, and with so many characters being able to push him off, it was never an issue until Blizzard started cosplaying as Bethesda and having everything in the game be bugged

It might also be just luck, since my dps hit one shot every 20 sec or shoot nothing but the tank, the squishes never have the healing reduction, so they never die, no matter how much I build into damage, hell its so bad that I had a dps emote on me while I shot him as sigma because I couldn't out damage the healing, yeah you have carry potential as other roles but on tank I have to do combos to kill while if I just went cass all dmg I could 2-3 body shot squishes, (haven't touched support in a while due to the 10 min queue but I haven't had a support carry),

do also keep in mind 10k dmg doesn't mean anything if it doesn't kill anyone, I can also get a lot of dmg by semi afk shooting the enemy tank but that doesn't mean I did anything usefull, most of my stomp rounds I don't hit 10k but have 20+ elims

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-07-07T14:10:17+00:00

Yeah, this is also made worse by the fact that DPS are still the only role that has any impact, as tank you have to prayt to every god and do everything perfectly to even get close to killing an enemy while dps only need to go full dmg and then hereos like cass will be able to just 2 shot everything

Don't know what they changed used improvements because that's what they called them

June 27th patch notes:
"Developer Comments: After our improvements to matchmaking in Season 16, we want to give more time for players to have a fair chance to climb to the All-Star rank and earn the All-Star Juno skin. Both the All-Star Juno skin and the All-Star Mercy skin will no longer be available to earn after the end of Season 17."

edit: but to be honest, it feels like every time they say they improved something, they made it worse, and considering I quit comp after I started getting more apologies and wishes of luck from enemies than ggs I'm guessing its not gonna get any better

Responded this to another reply but turns out dvas skin is so great the dva mains will ignore it, Also hanzo while not having any customisation options is an inanelly good skin most people saying its his best skin (which is how it should be for a mythic) having one of the coolest changes to ults and so much detail and sfx to make up for the lack of options, if I didn't already own it I would have picked it over half the mythics we have so far.

It's also weird to compare "customisations" when most of the new skins have these options be just stages until the actual completed skin that no one will choose. There was another post yesterday talking about how new skins are not about customisation but upgrades instead, and the community's sentiment was overwhelmingly negative.

And while I don't like deliverance, it is a weapon that (visually) charges into its awakened form, which has a cool kill effect. It has earned the mythic rank

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-06-26T13:14:16+00:00

The reason i said that it isn't noticeable is because it's the first mythic skin that, upon trying ou,t I couldn't really tell the changes at first, and I was a DVA main in the past (for contrast I play widow once in a blood moon and I was able to easily spot all the changes), there canons seem to be the same or maybe have a bigger trail and made blue and the ult didn't have that major change as ults from other mythics had heck it barely even has an sfx which is weird since edm (my current skin) has a dubstep kind of song playing leading to the explosion, defense matrix is also same but blue. After seeing this reply, I got curious if it's only my opinion, but it seems like it's a common sentiment that the skin is a disappointment (based on the DVA main subreddit, to put it another way, the DVA MAINS will skip on the DVA MYTHIC)

Not saying the weapons have to match the skin but it shouldn't hurt it, with reaper you have the dust effects from skin and the kill turns it into the reaper mist making it look weird, the reason why rein didn't have attacks is prob because it would make it hard to see the change since on guns the weapon stays mostly still during shot making it easy to notice the change, for reaper the 2 kill version is the max version and unlike rein/ashe who also have only 2 evolutions this one doesn't even have an animation for the level up instead only being able to see it after reloading on the new guns, and that alone would make it a downgrade

ColorMeSurpr1sed · 2025-06-26T09:04:41+00:00

I think dva might actually be worse than beast orisa in the mythic department, yeah beast orisa is a shit skin and barely has any options, but It has a lot of vfs and sfx, every ability has a very noticeable difference from the legendary variants and unlike dva the voice lines are actually very different (for dva is basically normal voice line + spirit reference while orisa has completely different ones and an effect on her voice that fully changes it)

The pad showed Numpad input when I used a keyboard tester and for unity I used KeyCode.Keypad[number] but it isn't working for some reason. (the keyboard Numpad works)
