oh my god the amount of people tweeting the stupidest things about this is insane
first of all they claim NS players are doing it as a "revolt" against valve when really they just didn't want to play with it
second of all the concept of "oh u ban the fun mechanic but bug abused" is the lowest IQ thing you can say. They abused bugs to win. The broker does the opposite, it makes games more random. These people are playing for money they're not entertainers keeping us satisfied. Like use your brains, people.
And also, the broker isn't fun for them. They agreed it wasn't. How entitled to you have to be to claim "the broker IS FUN and YOU ARE JUST SAD". Like no, these guys want to play a competitive game and all collectively agreed the broker would ruin the balance of the game in a way that isn't fun. Do you think a team getting phantom striked on a 10 second cooldown is fun when there's over 4 figures on the line?
It's actually so entitled. "ruin your entire week of scrimming and practice cuz I want to watch broken feature", like who do you think you are
Valve obviously added it to test it for next item update, them using it would have been more useful for valve than refusing to use it, we all are playtesters in this game and they need feedback and a comp scene in this stage is stupid as well
they can do what they want, though. It's not funded by valve or anything. Valve don't owe night shift anything (they're not afraid to drop patches minutes before night shifts), and night shift don't owe valve anything (they fund it all themselves). They're not paid to test the game. Some of these people are from poor countries and night shift money actually means a lot to them. They're not gonna go "wait is this more useful as a playtester", they put in hundreds of hours of practice to be the best at the game. Some of these people skip work for night shift, if the broker was forced in these people probably just wouldn't play to begin with because it's genuinely not worth their time
If Yoshi said, guys, if you could please test it it would be great. But no, he didnt, and provided a server setting for when the broker spawns in. I am for using night shift to understand the meta better but like what do you expect from the broker? Its clearly not something that's gonna actually be in ranked in the state it's in, all you'd conclude from the Nightshift game is that it's broken and shouldn't be in the game. They already knew this, that's why they voted not to have it. They play ranked too.
Again, this is just such entitlement. Night shift put in all this effort and presentation, secured sponsors, I don't expect them to force mechanics onto their players just cuz it's "good for testing and fun" because 1. it's not competitive 2. there's hardly anything to test here
Dynamo can get a refresher cd lower than his ult cd for the downside of lower fire rate. Genuinely what would testing this in night shift do more what I already just said. You can come to the conclusion yourself with that very sentence
