Hope the Devs see this

I have no clue if there's a post game survey so I'm putting my gripe here that I feel will ruin the game if left unchecked.

My only major experience with MOBAs is playing Heroes of the Storm since Beta and I've been a Master Abathur(lvl160+) player since before he became meta in Hero League when people would instantly report you or throw the game if you picked him

So more often than not I end up getting matched up with all bot Teammates vs multiple enemy players. You can almost always tell by the names of the players or the type of character (Easiest one to point out is 18).

Anyways... my issue isn't so much being stuck with all AI vs enemy players which is still bad... but you lose rank for EVERY loss.. I had 7 matches back to back where I had 2-3 enemy players and I only had bots. You can't surrender cuz.. bots. You can't leave cuz you're penalized... and if you lose well.. you're penalized..

Meaning you're now forced to sit and watch the enemy team feed off all the bots while their tanks rotate to whatever lane you're in and stalls you out (Especially Zamasu) when you're trying to desperately keep up. The enemy plays can then troll you once they destroy the dragon ball shell & either farm kills off of you or if you're just sitting at your spawn waiting for the game to end they can just run around shooting attacks at you mocking you. I've had this happen repeatedly and if you just don't do anything from the beginning, you can be reported.

I have no clue how they can fix this cuz if the solution is to allow players to leave if your entire team are bots vs enemy players without penalty, that leaves players who only have 2 or 1 bot. Or 1 player with all bots vs 1 player with all bots cuz I've had plenty of those and the match can go either way...
I don't know if you guys are gonna do this but I hope you add a non-rank & vs AI so there's less of a rage quit impulse being forced into ranks matches that are doomed from the start
A Tournament of Power Mode would be awesome too(Obviously once there's more characters) which is literally a Team Battle Royal

Tanks need to be nerfed in the damage department. When I first faced an enemy player Zamasu.. I thought he was beyond broken cuz he was literally immortal(Which was the intent) but as I kept playing I learned to easily out play him by either bullying him away from npcs or killing the npcs and then going after him... but he has enough damage to kill DPS easily when played right.. I should not be racking up 11+ kills with Cooler & Vegeta vs Goku's & 18's and I'm talking players, not bots

Also introduce crossover skins for characters like the Naruto Shippuden skin for Goku in Xenoverse
Also introduce finisher/roamer characters. I never got to play with Trunks but he looks like the assassin type.

Speaking of finishing, something needs to be done about enemy players trolling the enemy team at the end of the game when the Dragon Ball is exposed... I've been on both sides of this situation where the team won't grab the Dragon Ball and just troll the enemy team after they were snowballed into oblivion because they know they can end the game at any second which makes it impossible for a come back as the moment the enemy player gets anywhere near the enemy base, they can grab the ball at their leisure.. I think the mechanics need to be changed to where the game ends when the shell is broken whoever last shotted the Dragon Ball shell automatically gets Ball just like the game lets you know who took down the bosses

I'm also not a fan of the store rank thing in order to get a character... it forces you to spend currency on characters you don't want in order to get a character you want but end up not liking it's playstyle.. I'm sure this is just to get players to spend money but that's ALSO a good way to get players burned out of the game... I can't imagine wanting to play Freeza but I have to get to store rank 5 in order to get him when I already have 6k coins to buy him but I can't cuz I'm rank 2.. meaning I have to spend those coins and more and then grind BACK up to 6k to get Freeza just for another player to pick him the majority of the time cuz I'm sure Freeza will be a DPS and you can't pick the same character

Also add an option to customize the mouse pointer cuz it's very difficult to locate where it is during battles and I end up accidentally clicking the map and warping into no mans land while I get wailed on

Sorry for the wall but posting this on Reddit is just talking into the void and I wanted to post constructive criticism for the game instead of just complaining

I more so meant the fact that it's sunsetted, I definitely could have phrased/specified better.

????? Abathur was broken in beta, no one reported you for playing him, because he was Broken in beta, Double Ults was broken, Double Archon or Double Odin, was OP because back in Beta when u killed Odin, Tychus was still alive, Odin was a 2nd HP bar, Tychus use to be able to tank with Odin,
and then Aba, with Double Odins, was the Meta, Double Odin was all you need for tanks,

[Taweret]

remember abathur + zagara backdoor? the times...
