I did a few more rounds of conquest and it went a bit better today. The matches seemed more appropriate and much less harassment. I'm hopeful for the matchmaking system so far it seems to be learning and acting appropriately.
I mostly played Chaac, who I was pretty decent at I think. I was also most often doing 'solo' which is a much better spot than 'support' for a new player. You basically can tend your lane, collect your local mana buff and be doing a good enough job.
Chaac in general I think is a great character for a new player. Chaac is generally tough to kill and also does decent damage. While you are melee with your auto attack which can seem dangerous, you have a lot of new player friendly stuff.
1. Axe you lob and does AE damage
2. AE close range (or at the landing point of your axe from 1
3. Self heal, run hide and heal, it also slows enemies in an area around you and axe from part 1
4. AE float around then crash down doing damage, at the same time you take 50% less damage
I did support on Ymir a couple times which I'm slowly getting better at it as well. The support job for some reason nobody wants, you are expected to rotate around a bit and be a bit of a play maker which you'd think a veteran would want to control, but you don't have as much pew pew power and that is quite popular.
I did a few matches of assault and generally the community there was pretty good, definitely more pleasant than conquest. I'm not sure if the matchmaking system applied to both categories or not, but that could be a factor. In assault you can't pick the hero you get. Your team is 5 random Gods which cuts down on the drama I think. No bickering over who is doing what and you sort of have to make the best of what you get.
My biggest complaint for today was that I had conquest run really long and I had other stuff to do, but that was poor planning on my part and not a fault of the game.
