People who say they're leaving League for Overwatch confuse me.
Doesn't Overwatch have the very same problems League has (OTHER THAN BALANCE OR PREFERABLE GAMEPLAY)?
-
A team of solo players vs a Premade is going to be put at a Disadvantage, because they have communication and the other doesn't.
-
Overwatch also rewards players who group together with more EXP, which means faster Loot Crates, than Solo Players.
-
Overwatch, as much as it doesn't announce it as so, does try to put Premades vs Premades against each other, but Solo players are always going to be in the mix. Premades vs Solo's are going to be just as common.
-
Unlike League, it's not as easy to Solo Carry, since Hero's power levels are usually static, until you get your Ult. That means Coordinated Team playing and ability to adapt to enemy team comps or further locations on the map will be essential, skills better found in Premades of Friends
Even playing as a Solo Player with other solos wasn't as fun as playing with friends because you end up with players who don't care for Team comps, locking in Two Offense Hanzos, Offense Widowmaker and Offense Mei. Other than preferable gameplay and balance fuck you bastion, what does Overwatch really have against League and Dynamic Que?
Is the main difference that Overwatch may have better matchmaking when it comes to sorting out Premades and Solo players, meaning that if League were to improve matchmaking to better sort Premades and Solos, the problem would be solved?
