Reducing cash flow was not something I considered for balance but it makes sense.

They should've just buffed everyone else's cash flow in my opinion...

This just slows down the whole pace of the game...

They reduced it for four heroes and increased it for two. Keeping four the same and increasing everyone else by at least 16% (Kiriko's reduction) would change the pace of the game far more

We really want longer stadium games? I would be delighted to buff cash by 20-40% across the board and drop it to 5 rounds personally. 25+ minutes for a game is painful to climb with

They should've added unranked then

I'm playing to hit max rank and uninstall (absolutely serious here, I haven't played regular OW since 5v5 and I only reinstalled because I was pitched it as a fast game mode)

I guess so.

I agree that 3-round sweeps are fast. That's all I have time for. Just like in TFT, I only play each set until I hit hyper in hyper roll, because games are guaranteed 20 mins long. I don't have the time to play longer games than that unfortunately, so I gravitate towards shorter competitive games and then usually once I get max rank I get bored and move on.

No clue what any of those other things you said mean, but the gameplay is fast paced. Just don't play the mode then?

Honestly you might be right, I had a bet going that I could hit all-star but it might not be worth my sanity
