It's not April 1rst in Vancouver yet, which is where our offices are located

Ahja, well...
Someone who is stating that "This means that we need to ensure that our changes improve the gameplay experience for all of our players. We are more intently focused on making changes and adjustments that will have a positive impact on our entire game-playing population, not just a dedicated but small minority of our player base."

...And then still forces players into 160 games of being placed against random ( random can mean top 100)players to determine their skill-level can´t be taken serious, even if it´s not 1.april.

So I feel sorry if this sounds offending but... This is a still a steaming pile of flowers ...yeah .. flowers.

This is a game with a steep learnig curve, so why is a beginner placed against someone from the top 10?

I play chess since my childhood but I would never even think about playing against kasparov or anandt. Why should they even want to play against me?
Seriously, the problem at hand is not realy about balance between units it´s more likely a HUGE falure by design in the matchmaking.

I know I will not get any response to this, because of "soon" "nda" "we are excited".. but It would all be so much more comfortable for your community to be placed vs. equally elo players then to be placed against much higher eleo because of A.: the dude waited for x amount of time so the elorange got widened by the ohso wise matchmaking or B.: there is a new dude and matchmaking decides to put him in a match vs. high elo players or a high elo team with random teammates witch is the worst definition of gameplay you can think of.

Look at chess, look at other games (that are maybe succesfull at esport) there is a reaon why you don´t find "+50" winningstreaks there and that reason is not "balance between units" it´s the matchmaking that makes the difference, actually it´s the matchmaking that makes the game.

I am not intentionaly saying your latest patch is bad, in fact there are some changes i realy like, but the real issue this game has is the matchmaking.
The matchmaking is the real showstopper for the "average-joe" like me. I am not pro, not even looking at every single guide or trend in the meta. When I use the matchmaking Iam not taking it real serious, I want to have a fun game . This cant happen when I am placed against dudes that are playing since this game was in beta. If you think 2 seconds about it and maybe played a few matches you come to the same conclusion as me (and maybe many other newer players).

Fix the matchmaking means fixing the game.
Maybe introduce leagues or whatever, at least have a look and maybe tweak the matchmaking.

Sorry for the wall of text, but i was in the mood ...

I beat the automatch ratio will be more like 50/50 after this patch.

The best way to check if the game is balanced is the automatch ratio.

If the automatch ratio is 50/50 then its balanced.

50/50 will never be the case.

Players SEARCHING a match will allways fluctuate. This has nothing to do with balance.

It is more likely to be influenced by other things like time of the day, moods and none the less recently released guides or even ponies or bunnies, maybe the weather or some astronomical thingies...

They are going to push the game towards esport !!!! new campaign dlc will be announced!!! esport campaign!!!!111!!!!

btw: They are excited iirc

Another day, another "x-thing of okw is op - nerf it !!!111!!! BUFF ALLIES!!!111!! GIVE PERSHING!!!111!1"-thread.

Sweet memories
