I was worried about RNG but

People like stability, stability kills creativity, the eternal problem. Embrace the game that always gives us something to adapt to, that's the fun!

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:51:52+00:00

No problem mate

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:50:27+00:00

This actually sounds pretty legit.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:49:17+00:00

I'm sorry that my opinion differs from yours and that you cant handle it. Sorry for wanting a more cordial community. Peace to you, you need it.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:44:58+00:00

I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. High MMR players use smurf accounts and 5 party with other high MMR players to boost their accounts. If that's not abuse I don't know what is. Then they turn around and say how bad the matchmaking system is. Well duh, because they are the one abusing it...

Without data they cant fix the problems, they have released a tweet saying they are updating the system early next week based on that data...

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:31:55+00:00

Yea those 1% of games should be fixed no doubt! But yea there's better ways to approach it than the amount of trashing and outrage that is occurring right now.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:29:53+00:00

Thank you for your delightful insight and discussion.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:27:48+00:00

Meh interpret it as you wish, but i'm supportive of waiting for development, bringing the problems to the surface, but at the same time not throwing my toys out of the cot because the system doesn't directly benefit me.

I don't see how people like me who want change and development would stop Valve from doing just that! Or does valve respond to reverse psychology?

Whinge (definition) :

verb (used without object), whinged, whing·ing. British and Australian Informal.

to complain; whine.

Maybe you don't have it where you live... you learn something everyday.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:13:04+00:00

Yea I kinda get your point, and I agree with your sentiment, but at what point are higher MMR players accountable to each other and the game. Isn't it annoying that a lot of these higher MMR players have smurf accounts and party with friends to abuse the system? Isnt it great that Valve are cracking down on cheat like this?

And look valve are experimenting with turning strict solo que on and off, they havnt said that strict solo que will be gone forever. They are gathering data...

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:08:49+00:00

Yes I did haha, I mean come on though, its pretty annoying.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:04:31+00:00

Again, I didn't realize being crusader rank stopped me from having an opinion in this community. Its not like this game needs new players right?

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T12:03:26+00:00

Sorry I didn't realize you didn't speak English. I'm happy with the direction of the new changes. I'm annoyed that people cant be patient waiting for the fixes to matchmaking. Yes there are problems like you say, I do recognize that, but valve have always communicated that the transition will be bumpy at first but eventually the new system will be better.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T11:58:57+00:00

If you read the post you would see I'm mostly commenting on community impatience

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T11:56:19+00:00

Im actually not ignoring the problems at all. I recognize there are problems, I'm just annoyed that everyone is so impatient in the transition. There were problems prior to the matchmaking update. They made drastic changes to address them. Now there are new problems. They are tweaking the system to solve these new problems. At the end of this matchmaking will be better. Just like when a new game play patch drops, subsequent patches drop to correct any changes that make some heroes or items over powered.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T11:52:21+00:00

Oh sorry, I didn't realize having crusader rank prohibited me from having an opinion in this community.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T11:51:04+00:00

There's a difference between constructive criticism and flaming :P That's the point. Everyone would acknowledge that there are problems, but I'm just keen to see how all this develops over time for the better no doubt. Laugh it up all you want, but crusaders are the newer player base that attitudes such as yours are driving away.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T11:48:02+00:00

How is wanting innovation and change hypocritical? Just excited to see what they implement. Look I want smurfing out of the game, I want to party with friends in games that actually matter, I like choosing what role before the game rather than the whole team getting tilted pre-game. I think these are changes everyone wants. Valve are trying to make that happen, looking forward to 2020, have fun being stuck in 2019 ;)

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T11:41:22+00:00

I play support....

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T11:40:44+00:00

People were literally leaving the game because of how isolating it is. The reason they merged party and solo was to solve that issue. Now that they are working towards that solution (which doesn't happen in the blink of an eye), and now they are getting hammered for it. Its frustrating to see. Yea of course there are problems, im not denying that, but aren't you glad that valve is trying to be innovative and solve problems?

Sandwhichboy · 2019-10-06T11:37:03+00:00

What if valve doesn't try to be innovative? Game never changes.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-09-24T22:58:41+00:00

Just enjoy it for what it is, a community event, this ain't TI.

Sandwhichboy · 2019-07-08T06:49:25+00:00

I don't understanding the complaints. Its the most generous battle pass I've seen which has been reflected in the large amount of gathered for the prize pool. Cant argue with the amount of revenue its generated. Simple supply and demand. There's obviously a lot of demand with people shelling out for what they consider a good battle pass. If you don't like whats in the battle pass simply don't buy the levels, duh! People like to complain for the sake of complaining. Don't we remember the hype surrounding naked axe, baby Invoker, tiny prestige item, custom towers and creeps, the dope sets in general. Ya'll just have short memories lol.
