Ball hogs and ‘wannabe Messis’ are already the heels of the Rematch community: ‘Coach should run out onto the field and beat them with a stick’

Rematch just isn’t a game where you can 1v5.

After playing Deadlock’s new ‘Oops, All Teamfights’ mode, Highguard’s kitchen-sink ruleset feels overwrought
