14 DAY TRIAL // Blizzard is introducing a new feature to Heroes of the Storm in order to make sure that veterans and new players do not get matched together too many times in the Quick Match mode, which should result in a better overall experience for all those involved.
The studio believes that an influx of new players is a good thing for the game as a whole, but it also wants to see more of them playing with their peers rather than with more experienced fans.
A new addition rule for Quick Match takes into account each player's total number of games played in the mode when putting teams together.
Blizzard explains that "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. Additionally, this change may result in increased Quick Match queue times as the matchmaker searches for players with a similar number of games played to your own."
Apparently, more data is being gathered, and player feedback is also welcomed by the team as they seek to continue to improve Heroes of the Storm.
The Multiplayer Battle Arena Title does not use all the core elements of the genre but has the potential to compete with both DOTA 2 and League of Legends.
