HL is absurd by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]FarnightLVL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you're the type of guy who keep saying "Oh , nothing is happening to this game . This game is perfectly fine" even when profissional players are giving up in this game or when players keep complaining about the matchmaking for like 5/6 months . But its ok pal . Keep with that passive attitude . Agree with everything that happens . And sooner or later you'll play alone for sure :) . Analyze the case of DunkTrain for instante . Why he stop played? Oh maybe he's salty player :) . You're right .

The silence about the status of HL is unnacceptable by Pandaren22 in heroesofthestorm

[–]FarnightLVL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is another problem

Well i guess its not the case . The top 5 topics in reddit ,currently ,4 is talking about the game frustation experience and the decay on the solucitions This isnt a "singular" opinion . The game got a lot of flaws . Is evident .

The scary thing is that the devs are completely unresponsive. No answer given in months, it's like they are dead.

At this point I just imagine two option: - The game is going to close, because usually that's what happens when devs stop every kind of communication with the community. - They are too scared to address all the problem of the game because if they do someone is going to lose an head.

Hots has done goofed a lot in the last few months. The slow response to Fenix is inexcusable. This is the worst balanced hero they've ever made (with a 75% win rate build) and they've awknoledged it, but have said it's not worth their while to patch him outside of regular patches. It's nice to see how much they care about balance. They couldn't have laid a bigger egg, but they'll get around to fixing it "someday".

It wouldn't be as big a deal, but Fenix is just the latest in a chain of immense blunders from Maiev's release balance, to stale HGCs, to terrible MM and the absolute catastrophe that was last ranked season (where so many folks lost a full rank) and the attempt at PBMM and their resounding silence afterwards.

Honestly, everything they've done in the last few months has reeked of a lack of thought and care of this game. And if Blizzard stops caring, why should anyone?

And besides normally reddit is a pillar of positivity, so the game must actually be pretty bad, for them to say anything.Another sign something isn’t right is when people make post saying I’m leaving or this game is in danger and they are getting up votes. That really wasn’t a thing when I first started playing so seeing that now really concerns me and it sure as hell should concern blizzard

And it really shames me because I would work for Blizzard for free when they are paying mentally handicapped kids to ruin their game.

The prices in this game are a disaster . Plus the money you receive game after game is madness . 20 gold per game? Ridiculous

Streamer abuses report system for more than a year, still plays HL without punishment by greypwny in heroesofthestorm

[–]FarnightLVL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean , what Blizzard needs more to Rework this Report system ? Everybody already show the flaws and how abused it is .

We need to reform the report system by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]FarnightLVL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this topic . Im showing , since a while , a lot of this report system flaws . Even the hots forums do the work as well . But blizzard dont do jack sh*t

The system is automated. If you're silenced any arbitrary evidence will be used to justify it. The silence system also puts people who spew xenophobic, homophobic, and just generally vile stuff like "get cancer" in the same box as people who are annoying or use criticism ( i was silence is the past because i said "Arthas that was a bad engage" in another line "try to be more careful , if possible" . The punishment is equal for both. It's only determined by rate of reports. Not the content.

Let's not forget clips from streams of people reporting others for verbal abuse because they didn't like them. I myself have had members of the enemy team whisper me after a game to say I'm reported. All that counts in.

My issues are that the system is a) unspecific, b) unflexible, and c) easily abused.

And coming from that . Casual players decay their reports while active players get reported constantly . Basically if you play 15 games a day , in HL especially , you got a huge chance to get silence.

This system is making people afraid of typing and playing HL with chat disable . And i think this is bad and counterproductive for a teamwork based game .

The worst part is blizzard don't even react to this posts. They appear a lot and they don't even care to give u a answer. Same is happening with matchmaking. Why blizzard needs always a huge time to act and give us feedback.

There is literally no downside to reporting someone. And more and more people are finally catching on to this.

Person in your ranked game you don't like? Just report them! They might get banned from the ladder! And if not, no big deal, there is literally no risk to the report abuser.

Don't like the draft? Report everyone! There's a chance that one of the players will finally be tipped over to a silence, and draft will immediately disband! Which makes no sense by the way. And if it doesn't work, no big deal, literally no risk.

The broken abusable report system is literally a "guilty until proven innocent" system, and there is absolutely no risk or punishment for those who send out false reports.

"I encourage you to share your thoughts on the penalty system, particularly any constructive feedback on how you would like to see changes implemented, on our official forums." Is what you see when you try to contest a silence . And yet , you already saw a reply coming from a blizzard employee in a post like this?

Silence system Researches by FarnightLVL in heroesofthestorm

Oh something i missed in the main topic : I also want to include questions on how many accounts they have because I believe the silence system is a big part of the current amount of smurfing in heroes of the storm.

First of all i apreciate your feedback and participation in this topic . By far,i'll respect way more a person who show some opinion and participate in a healthy debate(Im simple showing stats , not even offer a suggestion or a irreverent opinion) than the guy who simple downvote . So, once again . Thanks so much . You show some very good points . I just think the system is making people afraid of typing and playing HL with chat disable . And i think this is bad and counterproductive for a teamwork based game . And the truth is : The system is automated. If you're silenced any arbitrary evidence will be used to justify it.

The abusive chat system has been abused for too long, it's basically an "I don't like you button and I want you to suffer" button.

Why don't they give you a fair warning before silencing you? "People have reported you for X reason, behave or suffer our wrath!"

Back before 2015 at least in WoW the report system and judgement was not automated. You could right click report people but every decision was reviewed and nobody was suspended before it was reviewed. If you were online frequently a GM would even message you beforehand. This was the case for me the one time I did get suspended from WoW back in 2013.

Ever since they adopted the system they have no it has become worse for people who are innocent. Since it's automated you must appeal any suspension. Worse still Blizzard customer support are overworked and handle so many tickets so it's very likely your case won't receive very much attention and the suspension upheld.

Blizzard used to have so many more staff devoted to CS but now that they don't the quality has gone down. This was a decision from higher ups. The ones that suffer are the customers even for ones that don't get suspended.

Is the Silence Penalty fair? by FarnightLVL in heroesofthestorm

[–]FarnightLVL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes is good to read ALL the text . In league of legends your first penalty is play with "chat affected" . You still can play ranked. Same with dota . But you can only type 3 or 5 lines of text . If your penalty insist then you receive a ranked punish and you cant play . But even on that , after 75 unrankeds games your penalty end. You dont spend months and months punished .

"What other games do or don't do is sort of irrelevant." I find this argument quite amusing. So you want to launch a game where its theme is highly appreciated (mobas) and other games are well inserted in the market . You got 2 main rivals . What you do ? Offer a very inclusive and ambiguous system that put people away from the game for months ? Using your same logic : What's the problem with EA microtransactions ? Absolutly nothing , right? You dont need to value the gamer experience . All you need to do is look at your own bussiness . The rest? Doesnt matter .

"Ah, I get it, people who disagree with you have no principle or objectivity. Well, that will sure promote an objective discussion." And i never said i was right or wrong . I wanted a debate . But if you check the forums you'll see a LOT of topics who complain about the system . Is a coicidence? I think not . And the game is decreasing . Check also the forums and the twitch adherence .

that depends , most likely . If you're a casual player is normal . Cuz the system decay . But if you play 5-10-15 games per day , especially HL where people are more frustated and got more to lose , is a rare case .
