A fix for discouraging new character learning | Forums

[Jayxe]

As it stands, this game inadvertently discourages trying to learn a new character. When you're rep 4 with one guy and decide to learn a new character, you're still paired against people near your rep level. A fix for this would be to allow us to choose our character first and then que for the mode we want. Then the game should look for other players with similar play time / ratios on win loss and kill death / gear scores. It would also speed up the "choose your character" screen by omitting it entirely, since we've already done so.

Thing is that when you get paired with players at a higher rep/gear score you are at a disadvantage. They have maxed out attack or revenge on defence etc. making it a real hassle to kill anything. So slugging thru 42 levels before you can get some decent gear facing players with way higher gearscore is a chore and not that fun. AND YES gear does make a diffrence. Bots? Well bots a good for learning the basics of the hero you play not much else.

Another possibility could be that your drops are better for your lower level characters if you're stacked up wit higher level characters.
