This “balance” patch was so small, that they should not have announced it all.

Or they had to put in an extra line of text saying: Dont get too excited, we will just shift a few numbers. Because this patch is even smaller than the usual balancepatches.

Mostly BB and CK got “nerfed”. For Bara it’s only the farmspeed. And there is no winner of this patch. Not one single change that might get you excited to try something out.

There were so many matches during TI and this is the best “balance” they can come up with? It’s just underwhelming in my opinion.

It is garbage indeed.

The games are like this cause MMR is just a number. There are gigantic skill differences. Esp since valve gave half their players a mmr boost with the last recalibration.

For example: One quite bad friend of mine got to Archon I but he is one of the truest mid tier guardian players you can imagine. And where is he now? Crusader IV.
Yes, he has dropped a bit, but it will take quite sometime until he is back at his “true” mmr.

And that’s just one player in a game where 10 players are competing. I most certainly know more than one person, who is “boosted”. Now think of all the players in your friendlist who might also fit that “true guardian/herald/whatever” description,

I either try hard and push my games beyond 50 percent winrate or I accept the matchmaking gamble. There is no chill way to play and just go with the flow. Half your teams calls just have to get ignored to keep your own game clean somehow. In many cases you can even ping/say that a bad fight is approaching and that your tp is on cooldown and they still run into a 5 man rotation and get washed away like a few brainless crabs.

Bro, you want some coaching? At least 3k should not be that hard
