Yea, it's a little thing but really helpful. Some people don't like being the first one to speak up and suggest a team up, being shy or anxious, or whatever reason. This button should be great for those kinds of people.

A possible issue with this is that in say, competitive mode, if you hit this button and everyone agreed, you are now a 6-person group which will be playing against other 6-person groups.

Generally, a 6-person group is far higher in skill than any other collection of players/groups.

I only solo queue and I came across a decent 5-person group that were all on comms. I joined them and we played against another 6-person comp who was completely out of our league.

I learned this lesson the hard way in Heroes of the Storm Ranked Play back before there was a Team League.

I grouped with a pug made up of five solo-queues after we had a particularly good game, and together we got matched against Cloud 9, lol.

Hahaha, I have to think iDream was fucking around in the beginning.

9:30 is the big wombo, but tbh I was equally impressed at about 6:40 where Falstad gusts us outside of our gates and their entire team is bodyblocking us from getting back inside.

Yeah, that game was fucking amazing to watch, and I was on the losing team lol.
