The sky is falling. Don’t check though, just trust me bruh.
Well some friends already thinking to quit the game now. Including me.
This matchmaking is a nightmare.
Either way, I really hope it gets sorted out in a positive way soon. All the rage that is going around is bad for everyone’s health I think.

+1 luckily this is my second account and i just bought hot on it about 3 days ago, So i can look forward to that refund for at least one account.
My guess is the “cross 10 league division thresholds” requirement over the course of all 4 ascension achievements to get the back piece is what will kill off alot of the population starting in league season 3. For any casual PVE players like myself who don’t make noticeable progress in crossing league divisions this season, there will be no incentive for a large chunk of players to continue participating since the back piece will then become mostly unobtainable. I’ve always played small amounts of pvp, mostly for dailys and I got to sapphire last season, but I’m quickly losing interest in this league system. The experience I’ve had from last season and the beginning of this one is not enjoyable. So much anger in chat, I’ve had to block so many people.. And the matches are time consuming with queues, at least last season. Last season I had to wait an average of 7 minutes inbetween every match and with a minimum of three matches per day to continue the meta, it took up a good chunk of time sitting around in HoTM with nothing to do.
I figure with the amount of time it’ll take me to make it into ruby this season and get my ascension part 2 achievements done, I can make another legendary weapon instead. I started bolt 2 weeks ago and already have the first part of the precursor done. Instead of spending my time in endless lopsided matches, I think I’ll complete another legendary item instead.
As for a legendary back piece, I already crafted Unbound. I’ll be content with Ad Infinitum once it finally becomes available.

Yeah, it’s definitely an… interesting way to go. Dunno how it’ll all shake out in the end, but the impetus to implement a system that caters to the 20% of great pvpers in the game and puts the other 80% of casual/moderate skill pvpers into pip hell took some cojones!
“Is it uplevel ranger season yet?”
