    Feast is lackluster and a time-consuming scam

    The idea of medals is garbage, and does not promote skill. Unless you're doing team matches, you're lumped into groups of random individuals chosen by a median ranking of so many bronze/silver/gold/plat/no-rank players, some with absolutely no experience or cooperative attitude. Individual ability counts, but this is utterly ridiculous. If you don't have a healer that knows what's up, then almost no matter what your composition is you'll fail and feed the other team, rewarding them with not how much better they are but how lucky they are. Warcraft did PvP far better, and it's even fair much of the time and has a solid system. Yes WoW has had more years experience, but these matches are too long, the medals are a gimmick and do -NOT- level the playing field. Feast is an infuriating experience and it's horrendously time-consuming for achievements, far more than what WoW was even back when reaching Exalted with Defiler rep was cool.

    I'm not a fan of feast and personally find it lacking, largely due to the match making system; that aside, to me it becomes a snooze-fest because it's essentially the same scenarios over and over with very plain objectives.

    That being said, I got my mount and my Fenrir Pup. I'm content with not queueing Feast unless a friend wants me to queue 8v8 with them.

    As for time consuming, I'm sure there are those that enjoy Feast and don't mind working towards the titles. I have no issue with that whatsoever. If they like it, fine. It's just not for me.

    Feast is pretty fun in the light party bracket. The length of match and medals allow teams to adjust and make plays. It increases the margin of error over Wolves' Den and reduces the burden on the healer considerably, which I'm good with.

    My only complaint is the weight of controlling adrenaline boxes. While timing and controlling the boxes is a competency in itself, it is very.... stale.

    Funny, I find if the melee DPS is inexperienced, you're praying for a draw at best.
    Everyone is quick to blame a healer, even though they'll be the ones locked down the quickest. But it's those last minute melee LBs and burst damage when it really counts that'll change the tide of the game.

    While I do agree that the average DPS can make you lose harder than the average Healer, there's nothing worse than a Healer who has absolutely no clue what they're doing; while not easy, it's still possible to carry inexperienced DPS' (even more so if the Tank is a good Warrior) but it's almost impossible to carry a really inexperienced Healer.

    That being said, I think OP simply has wrong expectations of Solo Queue, which isn't balanced, fair and fun to play all the time. You have to approach it with the right mindset - there will always be games you simply cannot win, no matter how hard you try. The important part is to keep a cool head and not let games like that get you down. SQ can be frustrating and nerve-wracking and The Feast is no exception.
    I don't get the complaint about medals though, without them things would be so much worse. They're literally the only way to turn those really bad games around.

    Atm the feast is hard to procc it don't help if you are looking to finish the achievement to get in the top 100, even if you want to try hard.
    unfortunaly with the players base we have on the feast we must admit a lot of players think it's not fun.

    I just wish they would undo the increase to the adrenaline bar rate accumulation and its crate appearance frequency. I thought I read somewhere they did this to make the matches faster but that combined with the heavy medal mechanics have made most matches all last the full 8 minutes so if that was the purpose then it was an epic fail. I'm actually fine with matches lasting 8 minutes (idk why they consider that a bad thing I wanna fking play a satisfying match, if i want a 60 sec match ill queue for wolves den) but the limit breaks are way too cheesy and this is coming from a melee main (meaning I benefit the most from it).

    i think feast is great, medals are a good way to prevent same person from just being farmed over and over again. Solo Q is fun IF you have the right mindset (why rage over factors you cannot control, why get mad if they are not listening , that wont change anything just do your personal best)
    Honestly what i think gets people saltier the most is the solid amount of rank point loss from games that you could not change how ever hard you play. Then again at the same time, it makes those who actually can prove their individual skill , carry, and progress into the top 100 even more satisfying.
    If i could change one thing it would be the ranking point loss, cuz thats what really hurts haha.
