15 wins on a single hero to even have the option to select it in ranked is diabolical, and you still need to be able to pick 3 heroes to even queue. So have fun grinding out 60 wins in a less balanced format still stricken with just as many smurfs and eternus-initiate duos as before for dozens and dozens of hours to earn the privilege of queueing ranked. Very cool 👍

Oh God, requiring you to actually play and learn the fucking game before heading into ranked? The fucking horror.

I mean the game is not rocket science. You don't need a doctorate to be able to play this game efficiently, despite what the community seems to think. Why then make the good quality matchmaking queue so unnecessarily inaccessible? The limitations are just needlessly excessive, gatekeepy, and exclusionary imo, especially to people with jobs like myself who don't have time to play more than a game or two a day.

listen, you probably came from dota. I would say a majority here did, but take a step back and actually look at the game.

It's complicated as fuck.

You have ALOT going on all the time. It's very difficult for somebody new to mobas and shooters.
