Overwatch

C'mon, get some friends, nerds

I had this same problem in dota, but the truth is it gets really boring really fast with friends. It's too much comfort zone. Anyway I don't play Overwatch so I don't know if it translates to here, but I could imagine there being the same problem.

Last night I was playing Winston in a team with all attack types.

We would have our entire team ready to go for the objective and I would get ready to leap/sheild/ult and absorb some damage so they could do their job. The whole team is ready and I jump in then they turn around and don't follow through like someone deciding to not jump on a diving board. This happened 3 times! BWAHHH

Going better now we're an organised group. Honestly, I went in with all this baggage because LoL ranked made me basically hate the game. Mostly because you need to reach the reward tier or it's a waste of time and the constant BO3/BO5 promotion/demotion nonsense.

However with Overwatch the moves are tiny even within the placement games. It seems what you mostly need to do for the higher ranks is play a shit ton of Overwatch. Not sure how many points you get at the end of the season, or if the idea is Season 1 is all about golden guns (so you'll get a lot of them) and Season 2 is something else (pink guns, perhaps).

Ranked need a lot of tweak for the next season. The sudden death are totally crap and unbalanced. It's a pity to capture the last point 3 minutes before the other team and to be attacking for 2 damn small minutes after that.

Also I really hope they will remove heroes stacking. It's a shame to see 4 Winston attacking the first point because of the lolz !

Yeah, played Comp mode last night and it sucked. Sudden death is a dumb idea on Payload, the first point is usually the easiest to capture so it's really unbalanced.

And still yeah, I have no idea why they don't lock a class once someone has chosen it. Really weird, and must be impossible to balance.

I think me and my mates all agree the game, for us, has lost some of its shine now. Not sure why that is, but none of us feel like playing too much any more. We've got a lot out of it but probably won't carry on with it too much longer. It was fun!

Sudden death on payload is a joke

There's something in the patch notes about aim snapping. But Roadhog ultimate still has that bug I posted a few pages back where an elimination makes him look at the ceiling.

Past two days of competitive. I have two words.

Fuck

Everything.

Seriously, it seems 90% of the matches (science not done) I seem to be the only one capable of doing stuff, because if I die, point will be taken from our team, payload will be pushed towards us and all that shit. It's like, I get always some total fucking noobs in my team. It's not fun at all, getting sick of it. Sucks I rarely get good matches with random people. I really like the game and all the potential it has, but at the same time, don't really know if this'll be fun for long unless I can consistently get full-group of friends whenever I want to play. It's not about losing or winning a match, really. I could even say, if people would have some basic game-sense at least, that'd take us far already.

of course your personal skill rating is everyone else fault

Spoiler stop playing alone

Played with 2 other friends, got rank 57 and man did we meet tough competition after that but we managed to win a couple of games, loving it! Really i dont think competative is meant to be played alone with randoms.

You can try playing with us if you don't mind a little quieter group, we don't speak that much over VOIP but we generally know what we're doing.

The competitive ranking system is the most frustrating and unrewarding system I've ever seen. The 1-100 needs to be a hidden statistic with tiers to separate them. watching ranks drop on each individual loss is the most painful thing to see, hardly makes me want to play.

You have to not care. These ranking system take hundreds of games to actually give accurate results and you only have agency in ~30% of your games (the others are going to be stomps either way). You're only getting some shit weapon reskins anyway. Wow a gun nobody can see on one of my characters is now gold.

The only really bad thing with competitive is you get matched up with full teams queuing solo instead of just other solo players. DotA removed this, hell even HotS removed this. LoL added it, said they were going to remove it, then said JK dynamic queue for life. Because Riot Games.

Is it me or is Lucio really hard to hit? Feels like his hitboxes are chilling on the moon, and at the same time I can hit Tracer going twice as fast without any problems

Only thing I don't get is why we can still have more than 1 of the same hero on the team, you see a lot of try hards in comp with 2 winstons and 2 pharahs etc. not fun.

you can do literally nothing against that combo with poor zenny.

I take it all back.

I went 1-5 today and each loss took a whole rank. But when I win I get about 10% of one level. What the hell is this? I'm going to need like a 50 win streak to get back to that sweet, sweet 50 "you're average" rank.

The ranking system is probably a bit off in the beginning and is slowly adjusting as more people get their ranks and are playing more

I'm pretty sure 50 is not average, since i hear the best player have about 75

I'm not going anywhere near competitive, enjoying random no pressure quick play to death, if I want serious play I'll join a clan like the cs days Pickup/Random competitive never worked great, and I don't think overwatch is an exception, they are usually a nightmare if your trying to be serious, play with a clan.
