>Overwatch is raising the bar for competitive players, giving them the perfect arena to sharpen their skills and hone their strategies. Introducing Competitive Play. Competitive Play is designed for players who truly want to put their skills to the test, and offers a more serious experience than our Quick Play or Weekly Brawl! modes. To make sure everyone playing the mode has a solid understanding of the game’s mechanics, maps, and heroes, Competitive Play will be locked until you hit level 25. Once you reach level 25, the mode will become available under the “Play” button in the main menu. Simply select "Competitive Play" from the submenu, and you’re ready to enter a match. You can join on your own or in a group, and Overwatch’s matchmaking system will automatically find the best game possible for your (or your group's) skill level.

This. I'm level 43 and I still get people who can't seem to understand how a KotH game works.
>offers a more serious experience
>Competitive Play will be locked until you hit level 25
competitive play should be locked at fucking 1 poo star.
I've seen bronze stars play like shit though so lvl rank doesn't matter one fucking bit.

>comp mode is for more serious play
>still has hero-stacking
I almost seems like satire really.
>>343073125
Pretty much. The only thing that level shows is how much you've played, but for some people that doesn't really matter much.
>>343070310
you tried.
>>343070427
my thoughts

>Level 100+ Lucio shooting at you because he thinks it heals
>>343073318
>you tried.
no effort was made

I just saw a video explaining how matchmaking works with competitive. Basically you play a match and your rank goes up or down depending on how you do and you get matched with others of your rank, so if you're shit and are in rank 10 you'll get matched with rank 10s, but can get better and rank up and play with rank 50, but if you're shit you'll go down in rank.

> THE RIDE NEVER ENDS
time to get upset
>>343070178
wow, its fucking nothing. the game has core problems that need to be fixed for it to be good competitively. a lvl 25+ only mode wont fix shit
>>343073868

overwatch is the most casual shit on the market lmao

thanks senpai

Tournament scene has already decided no hero stacking makes team comp super stagnant
>>343073259
>competitive mode still allows effective strategies
what is this bullshit
do people still play this game?
And that's a mode I'll never play.
As infuriating as retards are in regular play it is nothing compared to going full try hard and being paired with the same people.
I'm glad Ranked is finally here but I'm sad the Avoid function is gone.
It really helped, I was able to avoid mainers, trolls, and just in general shitty people.
>>343075683
the idea would be that you'd team up with friends for it, man.
I intent to play to get at least my favorite character his gold weapon.
assuming that such a reward doesn't go away at the end of a season, in which case, why fucking bother?
