Why does the game reward low skill characters?
Hopped on after about a month break hoping things such as matchmaking and character balance was fixed and I gotta say, I'm dissappointed, especially after reading latest patch
For the record, I've been in GM hell and my main role is support but this game demands you play flex so I also play some tanks and dps.
My main question is why does it feel like the harder characters, in addition to being difficult, are also always a worse option? Specifically referring to supports, the ones that take the least skill such as Cloak, Invis, and Loki are the best.
Invis has 15 CC abilities, Cloak has a discord orb in the form of a GIANT wall, and Loki has an ability that makes the team basically invincible. They are also absolute SNOOZEFESTS to play. Literally just shoot and use abilities when your team is low/need to kill enemy/ displace enemy.
While the most fun character IMO is Adam, and he has a soul bond that with the DPS creep feels pretty useless now, you can still easily die out of it, and sure he can fly everyone either knows to kill the 250 HP flying support or he gets CC'd by invis/bucky/etc
This also applies to DPS, sure there are some difficult ones that can be useful like Spiderman and Daredevil, but you could also just go Punisher, Bucky, or Moon Knight and get the FREEST of value by getting a cheap kill or holding the left trigger button, and if they get close CC with MK's ank or 3-tap the entire game with Punishers shotgun.
Coming from a 3 week CSGO binge, the entire game just feels unbalanced and (effectively) against you with the matchmaking and character balance if you actually want to have fun.
Theres also some other stuff, why does Jeff get to constantly spray damage and get free value on you across the map while also healing his teammates? Why does Mag, even with the most effective farming, get his ult AFTER all the DPS chars hes meant to save it for? Why does Adam get a 15% healing reduction, and the only thing to make up for it is a teamup with a character that nobody plays, that isnt even that good because you have to get in the frontline to use it? Why are they turning White Fox into a healbot?
Shit is just insane
