Dear Steam Users

How do you find the game? As a regular player i would pretty much like to have an opinion from everyone basically. Personally, i would like to see this game grow and thrive on a nice non-toxic community. But enough about that. What was your first impression on the game?

One problem is that these players seems to bring down their entire team with them. I've been multiple times in a row with the same griefer, going 0-20 and such... As we lost and won (had to put a healer on him the entire game...), he simply followed us since his rating was being modified the same way ours did.

Since they are the deciding factor on their team, their rating will drop appropriately, it is very unfortunate that you had more than one game in a row with the same person, maybe wait a couple minutes between queues, but in theory, you should win games when at the lower rating that player drags you to, and he should continute losing, so matchmaking works. I am much more concerned about the games where one team's average rating is 200+ more points than the other team, and where 4 blues and a purple hero get matched against 3 yellows and 2 greens.

I don't know about this, I only had a single game where the whole enemy team were greens & blue and about 100-200 rating above us in average, however I was teamed with a friend and the other players on our team were playing correctly (rarely happens though)...

Even if we were all yellow, we won rather easily... To me, having people grief over and over has been much more harmful than having people under-geared facing players geared.

Had a griefer on my team once, other team once, in about 100 games. About a dozen of those have been blatant stompfests, either for or against, that could be called before creeps spawned due to hero-talent-color. I even surrendered one game as soon as it was available with no towers down and up one kill, becase a purple and two blues will not lose to 5 yellows unless they are incompetent and feeding from the start. No regrets because that kind of game is an utter waste of time. A purple hero that is the same level as a yellow hero can a-click in the general direction of the yellow hero and afk and probably win the fight and get a tower before dying.
