So, now any player can get into any game via Quickmatch. This means, if there are no better servers at the moment � which, oddly enough, is quite often the case � complete newbs can get into 2300+ matches.
This completely ruins the fun for us vets. Even one newb can destroy the balance. I have to babysit these goofs and deal with their not understanding the game mechanics on a constant basis. Here are some of their favorite things to do:
- dodge right in front of me as I'm about to shoot my secondary, to make me deal massive damage to myself
- wander off into the enemy team and die needlessly, a lot
- do something stupid > require my help to escape > do another stupid thing > die > put me at risk (often gravely)
- reveal my position followed by the enemy team one-shotting me
- bodyblock me from escaping the enemy fire
etc.
Playing with new players on your team is really tiring. But I have to, because we usually have only one high-mmr server going in EU in the evenings.
The funny thing is, the system was changed just for the select few � the mmrwhores who couldn't get into matches because of their inflated epeens. They could easily organize daily 2500+ matches or simply shed some mmr to have fun games � but alas, they persuaded the devs that this is a good idea, to let Top20� players into newb matches (=stomps) and newbs into vet matches (=babysitting).
I think this is not the best way to go about things. Discuss.
