If you have ever taken Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm MOBA for a spin, you will know that in some games, you get matched with complete newbies, and in some games you get matched with what seems like professional players, or at least veterans of the game. It can be frustrating and imbalanced, but Blizzard has announced they are fixing that.According to a recent post on the Heroes of the Storm forums, community manager Spyrian revealed that Blizzard has recently introduced an update to the game that will make matches more balanced. This update pretty much only applies to players selecting Quick Match (which basically forms a team of random players) so if you play other modes, then be prepared to encounter pros/newbies.
Spyrian writes, “To help address this, we’ve created an additional rule for matchmaking in Quick Match that will take each player’s total number of Quick Match games played into account when creating teams. This rule has already been implemented, and we expect that you, your allies, and even your opponents, will now be matched more closely in terms of Quick Match experience.”
However Spyrian notes that the system will not be perfect. “The new rule will not prevent all instances in which new players can be matched with veterans. As an example, this can still occur when a party’s members have mixed levels of Heroes of the Storm experience.” He also notes that this new system could also result in longer wait times, but better a more evenly matched game than an imbalanced one, right?
