>Because Competitive Play is more serious in nature, we want to make sure that player behavior is acceptable. This means that the penalties are more severe than in the Quick Play or Weekly Brawl! modes. Leaving a game early or stepping away from your computer will make you ineligible to join a game until the previous game has ended, and continued infractions could result in restrictions or removal from Competitive Play.

>One of the best Widowmaker players in the world complained to us about long queue times. We looked into it and found that hundreds of other players had avoided him (he’s a nice guy – they avoided him because they did not want to play against him, not because of misbehavior). The end result was that it took him an extremely long time to find a match. The worst part was, by the time he finally got a match, he had been waiting so long that the system had “opened up” to lower skill players. Now one of the best Widowmaker players was facing off against players at a lower skill level. As a result, we’ve disabled the Avoid system (the UI will go away in an upcoming patch). The system was designed with the best intent. But the results were pretty disastrous.
fucking top kek.
>>342257734
it takes so many games to get a warning about the quick play leaving and im assuming the leaving is more severe not that it takes fewer games, so it should be fine.
I like how they're coming up with punishments before they create a game that won't make you want to rip your hair out.
>no one hero limit
>no map vetoes

I'm just sticking with quick play, fuck this shit. Enjoy going up against dual widows and a Mercy on Hanamura.

wah wah, it's not my fault, how dare i be punished for knowingly ruining the game for my teammates because i choose to play with crap internet
>>342257734
maybe you should upgrade your internet if you want to compete
I think blizzard is cancer but i like their no mercy policy, imagine the amount of third worlders they are filtering with the price tag and severe attitudes.
Fuck dota being free, subhumans make most of the game unbearable.
>>342257734
This is a good thing. South Americans will have no choice but to play casual matches. They will never be a gleam in my eye.
>>342257734
This is a lose/lose
for every broken connection by bad service there is a paper thin kid that can't take that loss coming or that grind avoider(can't blame them but it seems points to avoid playing the game to get cosmetics and what not to play the game) which leads to messed up matchmaking
That said Overwatch is trying to hard to meet the causal crowd in the same way HotS did which could seriously kill any shelf life it could have had.
>>342258134
>shitlord
Sup Tumblr. I don't upgrade because it'll cost 140 dollars for 200kb/s more download speed.

Who cares about some shit game. You guys have the best medical system.
I have a shit connection that continually has lag spikes every 5 minutes for about 5 seconds but I don't actually ever d/c so I don't care.
People who actually d/c often should not be playing ranked in games and people who quit often should not be playing ranked in games.
Having the very occasional d/c due to your ISP being faggots won't matter unless you're quitting a bunch as well.

>You guys have the best medical system.
Sup retard. Paying half your check to taxes with 8 hour wait times for broken bones is by no means what any country on the world calls "best".
Can't wait for competitive play.
Can't wait to see people try to be competitive in a babies game. I should have a hardy chuckle when people start referring to some who play this as "professional"
>>342258208
Guess people ruined it for everyone.
Avoid function should only be used for shitstains or toxic players that talk shit but barely do any contribution.
I guess i'm going to get queued up with that afk genji who just talks shit on chat every match now thanks to shitters who can't git gud and avoid good players.
>>342258730
And appeals are also entirely plausible given that it's Blizzard we're talking about. This isn't a VAC ban, it's a "get your fucking shit together" ban.
Besides, I don't want any of you poor faggots to ruin my experience with the game, so I support keeping you out.
It'd make more sense to just put all of those awful people in a league of their own, though. Then everyone wins.
Well yeah, if your internet connection is shit and often fails don't try to play competitively retard.
If your internet connection is shit you shouldn't be playing online multiplayer games.
You're making everyone else's experience worse, you selfish cucks.

It doesn't match you with people of equal skill. It matches you with slobbering retards when you need wins, and full friend teams running pro setups when you need to lose.
I fucking checked the profiles on the last match I lost. I have like, 40 hours on the game with less than 8 hours on any one character, same for my friends.
It paired us against people who played over 100 hours in the only character they played that match, with Reinhardt, Lucio, Mercy, McCree, Genji, Widowmaker.

This is how it's supposed to work, but blizzard uses algorithms that, for instance if you're having a loss streak, will put you up against a much weaker team so you can win.

>>342259710
"Forcing" a 50% winrate works perfectly for games that are 1v1, since it just means paring you against a stronger or weaker player, in a team game it doesn't work well because it has to give you random team mates, which have to be better/worse to get the 50% winrate.
Mind you, overtime you should still rank up or down based on your own performance (Which many people don't like to believe so they can pretend they're not bad), but it requires you to play for much longer to rank up and isn't a good reflection of your own skill level.
>>342260316

Not him but you missed the point he was trying to make. Furthermore the culturally relative legitimacy of something has nothing to do with how competitive it is.

I'm addressing pro play idiot, I can shit all over tracers at my level of play as mcree with the ol flashbang headshot combo. But top tier players elevate her to levels of complete bullshit. Which is why she is now dominating most games.

Damn straight, but the thing is if they are playing competitive mode then that means they know they are stuck with me too, and that means they have to actually try because they can't leave at the last 30 seconds to cheat their win/loss ratio.
I am fine with idiots that are trying, what pisses me off is when we have an idiot that leaves the game or just screws around because its QM and no lasting repercussions if he screws around rather than playing.
If you are quitting matches at the last 30 seconds then you are a bitch and part of the problem, sucks to suck.

Theoretically mccree can stop tracer with a headshot and a single fan buller, with the help of the flashbang. By the same turn of the coin, a widowmaker can kill a tracer with one headshot. Fan the hammer was nerfed into uselessness because of how wide the spread is on fan, ontop of its miniscule damage. Either it needs a tighter cone of accuracy or to have its damage bumped from 45 to 50 so that it doesn't take 4 hits to kill a tracer, or 5 to kill a genji, or all 6 to hit to kill a reaper. Either giving the attack that +5 damage, or making i slightly more accurate so that I can reliably hit atleast 2 out of 6 shots at max flashbang distance would solve the issue.
>>342263070
oh boohoo, you can still flash and fth any tracer you want. The only difference is you need one more bullet to land than previously. The change to his damage specifically made it harder to kill tanks but kept his ability to rape squishies.
>>342258208

That is all of QM, and your points aren't...
1. People SHOULD get punished for leaving a game at the last 30 seconds, it is a bitch move and only causes more problems. The overtime mechanic is the biggest comeback mechanic I have ever seen, you can literally have a game go on for an indefinite amount of time so long as someone on your team keeps touching the point or payload.
2. premades are an issue, but it just means that you have to form a premade with the good players you come across.
3. People joining at the last 30 seconds of a game is directly related to people feeling its okay to leave a game at the last 30 seconds.
4. There is a report function, report them for harassing, cheating, or both and say they were doing that crap.
5. That is about personal skill, if they don't want to help you then switch to another character and make one of those people heal.
6. That is a get gud mechanic, if your team is constantly getting steamrolled and stomped then maybe you should stop having 5 genji/hanzo/widows and a lucio on defense.
7. IF someone is trying to practice a hero in competitive, then report them. They should be doing that shit in QM. Idealy a player would practice the character in AI or the training grounds, but eventually they HAVE to play against real people for the first time, and this happens so you need to get over it... so long as it is in QM and not competitive.

>>342264339
It feels like they've balanced the matchmaking around teams of 4-6 and everyone else is just used as fodder to make the teams 'balanced'
Throwing a low level in with a good team is just going to make them fight among another.

>>342262627
exactly. for a team-based game, a more potent example would be playing a pickup game of footbal 6v6 but the opposite team has fucking Tom Brady. why would you not opt out of playing against him?
>>342259993
no.
though kinda yes at the same time
but that's just how a matchmaking system works.
you win a lot of games until you hit your skill level, then if you continue to win at your skill level, your rating on the matchmaking system will go up until you hit players that you can't beat, hence your rating will drop down until you start winning again, at which point the cycle continues.
it's just how these systems work
>>342258208
There was an avoid system?
I guess that explains why I average a minute or 2 to find a game.
Funny to think people get so mad that they'll avoid people because they suck, just fucking leave the lobby after the match, the chances of you ever matching with that person again has got to be crazy.
>>342264382
fucking this, this is clearly a problem with the character, not the player

Do you believe QM will fix itself just because competitive is made?
I'm complaining about the current state.
Competitive is always going to be people raging at each other and getting kicks out of the matches where you get to feel above it. It's the foundation of e-sports.

Yes. Forced 50 is real.
Anyone saying otherwise is just screaming "tin foil hat" over and over, like that somehow proves them right.
You are forced into retard groups or matched against premades for half of your games to keep everyone equal. Just like tick rate keeps everyone equal. Just like the massive hit detection keeps everyone equal. Just like ultimates keep everyone equal. Just like no post match kill boards, medal listings, or anything else keeps everyone equal.
The most telling is despote their massive community outreach on every other topic involved with the game, no one from Blizzard has made anbofficial statement saying 50% is not real. Unlike they did for tick rate damage control, tracer butt, zarya design, etc, remember?
It's either that a function of the game that is 100% in line with everything else the game has been designed to do for false equivalence is an imaginary conspiracy, or these shitposters are just trying to bait you into their mememachine bullshit again.
Which of those seems more likely to you?
>>342266404
The aim assist/hitbox is so forgiving it's pathetic.
It needs to be smaller or do less damage, simply. It's a 1 hit combo on most heroes
>>342266589
isn't a 50% winrate the mathematical goal of skill matching systems though?
>>342266589
Where's the proof of it though? You can't just make a bunch of claims and provide nothing to back them up besides your own personal anecdote. Where's the facts, brah.

>>342260226
>fixed a bug that caused players who backfilled then completed a game to sometimes receive a loss on their career profile and not receive their XP bonus for backfilling
Wait what? Those bullshit matches where I end up on defense on the last point being capped with 6+ minutes left or attack halfway to the first point with <1 minute remaining weren't getting recorded?
If that's the case I'm going to use those to fuck around with Zen
Does this mean LAN party?
>>342266954
