I cannot wait for the changes to go live, but I am a bit concerned that making the pre-season pbe only will lead to a lot of buggs or game breaking interactions that just won’t be found.
I’ve played a few games on pbe now, and i can no longer bring myself to play one more, mainly due to the quality of the games.
In 10 games I had 2 games that you could actually call “playable”, the other 8 games either had afks or the usual suspects, and I haven’t even included the remakes in this sample.
I might have gotten unlucky, but if the whole preseason is tested this way we’re going to have one hell of an awakening as soon as it goes live.
I would disagree. Preseason was always the point in time where all of my friends returned to the game to check out the new changes. For the rest of the year we rarely manage to fill a 5 man lobby.
