This game has absolute garbage UX. Let me tell you why:
- Match making is terrible. They don't let you pick to be put up against other people paired up or solo players and the ELO is all over the place.
- Epic ruined trading completely. They need to let their other games make money and bring this one back to the way it was, it's a grifting game now in terms of what you get for paying for cosmetics. Terrible.
- Doesn't allow you to leave games even when the rest of your party has left the game. Will punish you for leaving to join your party. Doesn't let you leave EVEN BEFORE THE MATCH HAS STARTED.
- Doesn't let you pick another game mode to search for while searching in the main menu, like most other games. Selecting a new game mode should automatically cancel my current selection.
- Why do all the buttons on the main menu have equal weight? Do you think the "play" button should be equal to the "settings" button? Why??? How does that make any sense?
- Why can't I go into training while the game is loading from another game?
- Why isn't there a play again with new team, why do I have to leave and re-queue?
- Why can't I queue for a new game if there is more than 5 minutes until a Tournament?
- Even if you're losing 6 - 1 and leave in the last 10 seconds, game doesn't care. It will punish you for leaving.
- Why are there a million barriers to leaving a regular game, but few to no barriers to leave a tournament without confirming?
- Why are button prominence for post-game equal?
- Why are there so many punishments for leaving the game? Just let people leave. Every time I'm prevented form performing an action I want to do I consider un-installing. It's so irritating. My friend says they can play only a few and I'm stuck in a game. I'd rather have bots fill when I'm playing than be forced to stay in a game.
- Even if I report for verbal, harassment, whatever, if I leave I can still be punished. That's absurd.
- Why is inviting people not a main part of the main menu UI? The UI should be geared around filling spaces in your team.
- Why is "Cancel" hidden in the top left-hand corner of the screen instead of a toggle involved with the button that was used to turn on matchmaking?
- Why is it so difficult to tell if we're match making or not? When we're playing as a party everyone is constantly asking if we've queued or not because its so hard to tell whats going on.
- We should be able to autoskip as a default so we don't have to press skip.
- Forfeits should be 2/3 votes not 3/3, especially when the person you're playing with has a report for throwing.
There is more but this is all that immediately comes to mind for now.
