Playing three matches SoloQ tonight after being introduced. It is so horrible. People still run in Zerg, team has no idea to rez down members, people run into zerg, paired with some rabbit rank, and a lot of other things,etc…. How is this different that hotjoin? And now we have all the SoloQ leaderboard and stuff? In my experience so far, Hotjoin right now, rather than more enjoyable than SoloQ in Tournament, at least we don’t have to worry about our Ranks and don’t feel bad for losing.

Sorry for the rant!!!

Most of you guys have this dead on. It will take some time for ratings to settle and MMR to improve.

Many players from our community asked us to create SoloQ to give players from hot join a next step up into how competitive PvP plays. For many people who only know the less structured mode of hot join this will be a training ground to develop them into competitive team players.

The best thing that you guys can do as our more advanced players is to help coach and guide these raw recruits with some strategy tips in team chat. Have patience with them. I’ve been playing this morning and have seen some amazing players really step up and do this. Our community never ceases to impress me with how awesome you all can be.
