Larynx.2453 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Haven't played for a few years so I'm out of touch with the current game. I come back and look at hot join, and there's literally less than 10 people total across all servers. Does no one PvP anymore or does everyone just exclusively run Unranked now?

Everyone playing casually does unranked. Hot joins are only really used for dailies, dueling, and special events like Mist Challengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ketsu.4569 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 People run Unranked and Ranked now. Hot join had its days but would run into the problem of too many people leaving and/or stacking one team. Matchmaking doesn't stop people from AFKing or DCing, but it's no where near as bad as Hot Join could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroth.4217 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I think it's mostly Unranked now....I stopped joining HoT join rooms a while back when people were using the official servers for dailies... People got mad if you were blue trying to win, or if you killed someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 i miss hotjoin, even with the unbalanced / same teams every match. it was fun to just run around and pew pew ppl like it was death match. they were basically chat rooms lol, i remember server 001 i think it was and would see the same heads in there every day. good ppl. was fun laughing at the tryhards trying to cap points too lawl.

Even for " good " players, this is a good way to practice new builds, since you first start against beginners, then practice in unranked, then in ranked. I myself struggle playing thief in unranked ( although i'm facing people from my rank..)If you tell me you can get better when discovering and experimenting thief against scourges spellbreakers and mirages, then i'm waiting for tutorials..

I'd say practice would be a good start, learning the game mechanics would maybe be another suggestion or how your build can effect an enemy the most.... playing thief as a newbie I would stay to decapping and doing the +1 role...hopefully that helps.

Falan.1839 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Unranked is basically what hotjoin used to be, just with fewer 4v5s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megametzler.5729 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Actually I miss "proper" hotjoin. It really helped me getting started with new classes, because you could watch other player's builds and movements and all that. Definitely helped me more than watching videos.

Lincolnbeard.1735 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I miss hj too, made most of my friendlist there. Was pretty cool to meet the same people there and having matches with and against them in a relaxed friendly environment (for the most part).

Lucentfir.7430 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 To be fair, all hotjoins ever were was a place to test builds against other players, mixed with the benefit of getting your daily done. With the FFA arena having come into existence, it takes HJ's niche and does it better. No more having to through a loading screen to get into the action, and you can still get your daily player kills done there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
