PvP is simply garbage

[Reinhardt_Azureheim]

Then why is it that no one play The Feast pre 6.1? I wanted to get the mount but the queue always dead even during peak hour.

3.5 months after CC released with most people already finished the Series reward, queue for Casual still popping in less than a min.

Not who you asked, but many factors basically:
- role restriction without seeing what role is missing
- extreme reliance on the healer since gamemode was centered around KOing targets with enough medals or key targets to prevent pressure. Potions helped, but it was still 70% healer diff
-.gamemode design was not quite intuitive and understanding win conditions was a pain until highest ranks

Agree: The healerjob in Feast was probably the most critical role causing a lot of pressure und toxicity. It was not only tough healing, they also had to make sure to be in line of sight (and get bullied when their teammates lost LoS and died) plus they had to take care on the entire buffs and debuffs to predict the next burst target. (I could be wrong but i think we saw the missing roles in queue and the queue was almost everytime waiting for healers.)

Also CC is a better entry for beginners. With the many available tiers it's easier to get a soft start also the lack of de-rank prevents some toxicity. Back then it was possible that players that never healed before (and maybe not even with the hotbars assigned) ended up in other players promo games.

Also the objectives are easier to understand. I still remember games with diamond tanks that ignored the medals.
