Literally fucking why?
>>342510770
Is that actually happening or is op just shitposting?
I can´t believe that the devs would do that.
>>342510770
Games joined mid session never count as losses in overwatch
>counts as a fucking loss on my record
Boo fucking hoo, nerd.
>>342511350
Yes they do. Use Google.
Who gives a shit? It's a video game. In 70 years you'll be dead and irrelevant, and so will Overwatch.
>>342511945
You can apply this logic to literally everything, so that argument is invalid.
>>342511945
>in 70 years you'll be dead an irrelevant
Kill yourself then, since in 70 years you'll be dead and irrelevant.
>>342511190
Happened to me yesterday. I joined a match and we lost 10 seconds later
>>342511190
yes it happens all the time
>>342512557
wow, that sucks
it's fucking bullshit, happens all the time.
> win record mattering
> stats mattering
who cares? its not even got ranked comp mode in it yet.
Do people really care about pointless stats that mean nothing?
>>342512610
yeah, it sucks. and it probably won't change because blizzard wants to keep quick match a fun casual mode so they won't add any penalties for leaving before the game ends.
>>342511190
you get the loss + EXP as if youve been playing the whole game
>>342510770
poorfag here. wish the game was on steam so I wouldn't have to pay $40 for it. Gotta use the cash on bills..

>>342510770
50%
>>342510770
It seems like blizz is dead set on getting people 50/50 win loss ratio. So, technically these are the best possible options for the loss then dragging out a 10-15 minutes payload map cause your team doesn't know how to defend/stay on the payload.
>>342510770
>>342511595
or play the game

Who even gives a fuck when comp is coming out soon?
Get your scrim stack and light up the night.
>>342511190
It does. Usually only once or twice a person tops however as with legendary drops some people have shit luck.
>>342513704
Then Overwatch is not your issue, your issue is being NEET. Go pick up your life back, and by not being jobless society will reward you with cuccessbucks to buy the game.
>>342510770
You should have checked the option to avoid joining on a game in progress
>too bad you can't
serves you right for playing with a shitty game
>>342510770
Be glad that it's an instant loss without any real suffering rather than a forced 50/50 match where your team of lvl20s gets to get beat to shit by 50s for about ten minutes
>>342514120
I bet you are the one who made the "BUY BATTLEBORN IT'S 50% OFF" thread.

If i see one more nigger say 50% forced winrate isn't a thing i'm gonna strange a bitch
>>342510770
That's not the worst part. If you join a friend's game as a spectator, you get a loss if they're on the losing side.
>>342514281
Are you surprised people are fucking retards?
>>342510770
FORCED
FIFTY
>>342514398
Yes, i was hoping the matchmaking system would actually put me with people of my level instead of putting me with mouthbreathing retards
>>342514276
to be fair, i reckon he's the kinda guy who is laughing at Battleabortion and Flavoverthemontch
>>342514523
It's quick play, what do you expect? Everyone just wants to play what they want.
>>342514281
>this game is supposed to be an esport
Fucking Hearthstone, now this, Blizztards are truly the worst.
>>342514581
With threads such as >>342505760 popping up, I am getting paranoid of the sad shilling for Stillborn.
>>342514281
>Bliz can influence what people pick in your game at any given time
How'd they do it?
>>342514281
I didnt believe this at first until i started playing solo a couple weeks ago.
Also they need to make a Team Deathmatch playlist so all the CoD memers can fuck off there, cause im sick of losing because I have Widowmakers, Soldiers and Torbjorns on my team who wont play the objective because theyre on an ebin killstweak.
Enough with the 50% meme, pick friends to play with, and done, winrate all depends on your skill. I am perfectly average and hover around 55% WL, but so are 90% of the people. You are not a special esports snowflake who can carry his team to glory. You are just about average.
>>342515239
>pick friends to play with
Hello high schooler
when youre in your 20s getting online with friends is hard because everybody has different schedules and less free time
>>342515162
Yeah, deathmatch should be an option. Like a scrimish that lasts the whole time, then the next map is voted for.
They also should let the players vote on the next weekly brawl from a list of options including continuing the current week's brawl.
>>342515428
I am 28. You are fucking delusional if you think I am any different than the rest in how hard it is to pick friends to play online with, but two of my three best friends, and one of them's wife, do play the game in the evenings. Even though we play roughly an hour/day together, this is enough to push your WL above the 50%.
>>342515428
>only having irl friends
I always have at least 10 friends to play with. You're the high schooler here if you haven't developed social skills to branch out.
>>342511350
Sometimes they do but it's a known bug, Kaplan said they're looking into it
>MUH UNRANKED RECORD ;_;
you're the same guy who gets mad if your team loses a pub in tf2
For the last two days matchmaking has consistently paired me and my friend with terrible teammates, rein's charging in to their death, useless hanzo's and dva's, just plain useless teammates. I just want to join a game with decent teammates instead of having to try to carry a bunch of retards.
>>342515725
Well lucky fucking you pal, not everyone has the same circumstances as you. Im 23 and its a fucking project to get 6 of my 7 friend who play online because everyone works different hours and has varying responsibilities. I only play with 2 or 3 people on average, and thats still not enough cause you can get stuck backpacking 2 or 3 retards who can very easily cost you the win.
>>342512936
No. Its below 300 if its fucking <10s.
>>342515428
>tfw in 20s and friend straight up drops video games over a stupid slut
>not even a good bitch
Who gives a fuck about your win/loss ratio? You're railroaded into 50 percent w/l no matter what because of skill based matchmaking
>>342515239
But that's wrong.
Quick Match is predominantly ping-based and designed to find games quickly as far as matchmaking goes. As a result, the range of MMRs in one game can be quite large.
Once players are found for a match, the players are distributed so that the sum of both team's MMR is as close as possible. What this usually means is, you'll have the highest MMR player paired with the lowest MMR players on one team, vs the second highest MMR player and depending on how large the MMR gap is, a varying number of players directly below the second best player. This is why steamroll matches happen so often, because the MMR range is so loose.
It's not that 50% is forced, it just happens that way as a result of speed-based matchmaking. Blizzard has said they are happy that most people gravitate towards 50% so this is never going to change. The only way to win games, as others have said, is to abuse the party system or to leave games before losing before they patch it.

>tfw you fell for the "your 20s are the best years of your life" meme
Being this age in a small town is honestly hell.
>>342512740
Lots of people care, that's why there is an option in this game and most other games to view player stats.
>>342516987
You should be thankful.
Now you have a ghost win you can brag to your friends, boyfriend and co-workers about.
>>342516805
So in short, you'd be losing more if you have beter perfomance after some time. By being paired with retards. You're probably right about this whole speed-MM cancers.
I should've avoided going solo just because I want extra wins.
>>342510770
>all my friends are horrible shitters

My win record is nearly 70% now on most heroes

I know that feel senpai. Small town single living is a nightmare, but it's fucking perfect with a relationship.
>>342519695
>Small town single living is a nightmare
What? It's fucking great. I hate people.
>>342519930
>I hate people
Good for you, but most people get lonely.
>>342511190
happened to me multiple times
>>342510770
I'll explain you why because some of these are because of me:
when you leave a match before the DEFEAT part, it doesn't count as a loss. Thats right, they will probably change it eventually but for now I leave all the time right before the DEFEAT. If you dont believe me test it yourself.
>>342510770
would you be complaining if you had won instead?
>>342511190
>Is that actually happening
yes.
Happened to me earlier today.
>>342512740
>who cares?
Enough people for blizzard but add a menu dedicated to exactly that.
>>342520746
Yes because no EXP.
>>342512740
since Master Overwatch I'm fucking obsess with my k/d ratio and win rate
>>342514581
I consider both shit
>>342510770
>Muh record
Cancer.
>>342522769
and also I filter rules for both games,this one just eluded them
>>342510770
This is why I instantly dismiss anyone going on about W/L ratio in this game as an underage autist. Join in progress makes it an utterly meaningless stat
>>342519695
It definitely helps but my friends group gets smaller and smaller every year. Feels bad.
>>342519930
Not everyone is an edgy autist like you
>>342510770
Meh, I always play with friends so the group MM will rarely ever do this to me :)
so what i get from this is dubs. really though if you have a team of 6 youre more likely to have a high win ratio casue you wont get the autist from the other team?
I haven't had this too me nearly as frequently, maybe three times, but I definitely see it as a problem. Are they looking to fix this issue? Or are we just going to have to wait for ranked?
>>342522907
You don't know how far autism can go
>Sniper Elite V2
>basically a dead game with cheaters
>hey devs how come my rank dropped/got resetted?
>I never cheat and I was in the 15th position on careers' rank
>another player joins
>I've spent 2400+ hours to farm my rank back
Now levels on said game are so fucking linear,with little no zero exploration and what not
Someone wasted 2400 hours for a fucking rank and then there is always the random Ivan with a gozzillion of points and 10 hours,how can someone be so autistic?
Had a friend of mine in guild,left his mic on and he was doing the math of how many days and runs were needed to him to get a bunch of grindy achievements.Asked him if he was serious wasting his time for simply things that require time and he answered
>I'm serious cause I want to move forward and don't worry about them anymore
He farmed them in 15 days,and I got them in two months without even trying
>>342510770
Win/loss is a worthless stat anyway. It literally means nothing. You can be 40% wr and have the same matchmaking value as someone with 60%. MMR changes are determined by how well you do in a match, regardless of win or loss.
>>342528461
>MMR changes are determined by how well you do in a match, regardless of win or loss.
Win loss has the biggest impact on your MMR, there was a blue post about it.
