What I don't understand that there are some people are not meant to ranked matches and competitive play. Why don't they stop trolling us and go enjoy playing against AI or QM or unranked drafts?

This is the most frustrating part. There should be a way to recognize when someone in your grouped fucked up hard and dragged everyone to a loss.
To win you need to play really well.
To lose you just need to get some retard on your team (which happens a lot on low ranks).
The way to go is to get placed high. If you get into the low ranks inferno, it'll be living hell to leave.
If everyone soft picks Assassin/Specialist on draft GG its over. If a persons first choice is that then you know the team is used to picking those Heroes and getting them, so all they'll be interested in is kills and xp.
If more than one person soft picks Support/Tank straight up then you know you have a decent team already since they know the minimum comp required to win, and they have experience with the class.
But all in all its just a team game, so basically you can't play your favorite character or or favorite build, 9/10 times. Which makes it less fun for lots of people.
If only Hero League placement matches weren't a complete MMR and shithead lottery.
I guess you need to be up all night to get lucky and be placed high, otherwise you are in a world full of painful grind and complete shithead lottery. Proof: http://imgur.com/a/HC1ze
Complain about no heal or no tank teams? Play Unranked, teams like those dominate Quick Matches because majority wants to dick around on Carries and kill people or cheese the game by weird push strategy on Specialists.

Well given the vast amount of bugs in the recent patch, I would want to stay clear of ranked modes. The most significant bug is the bodyblocking one which ruins the game in general. I have not been able to play myself though because of IRL, but I did mess in try mode for about 30 minutes testing Guldan, Tyrael and Zagara in try mode. I also saw the body blocking mess in action, you could push minions, training dummy and arthas a little bit in the direction you run to.
I also noticed that now you AA anything you come close to at least in try mode. I recall this was different before the patch as you could run past enemies without attacking them.
On another note, Guldan looks interesting, Zagara changes are great while Tyrael is a slight improvement for me (even though I do not like the change to Blade of justice).

Basically almost everybody I have encountered. I hardly prepick even because it's useless - I almost always have to fill in as support and I hate it when I have to rely on some last pick to round up the comp. Then there's the near complete unwillingness to play double warrior comps at least at bronze level (my top tanks are Tyrael and Diablo (Only play Artanis occasionally so that does not count) - when I have had a lot of success with these comps, Even got friend requests afterwards.
Hello, I'm still new to HotS (Only level 25) but I have played Dota and League (Total of let's say 14 years now).
So far I have noticed that yes, each person can make some sick plays whether it's Tank, Assassin, or Support but I feel like this game doesn't have that "Mega CARRY" potential that the other two moba games allow in solo queues.
Yes, League has some quite toxic assholes but I have noticed that HotS has some brain dead idiots that don't know what they are doing and I check their profile and they are like Silver/Gold/Plat and I just loled.
There seems to be very little skill difference Bronze - Plat. I've seen a very small handful of decent Plat players when I get them in Unranked Draft, but most are worthless. Faced a Plat Zag yesterday who did 15k siege and 18k hero. Jaina on their team did roughly 40/35. I was 37/15 as full support Tassadar. Like wut?
Even in Diamond Ranked games I get players that just constantly play like it's their first game. There's a difference between a bad game, and just having zero game sense.
