Log on right now, senpai.

Is everyone bored of Overwatch already?

Just force overwatch to update retards
>>343117664
you're not trying to trick me again, right?
>weapon skins are all just golden versions
>Lucio's is literally just hippityhop's weapon
>>343117664
Does it really take 300 wins to unlock a golden gun? I've been playing pretty regularly and I don't even have half as much, and I'm assuming currency will reset every season.
>>343118252

Adding competitive will only ruin the game
You will soon realize this but I don't care as I don't play Overwatch
>>343118252
I am, but thats mainly because I have 100 hours in the game already. Got bored with Dark Souls 3 when I reached that milestone as well.
>>343120280
>This game I don't play is ruined forever!
U wot
>>343120383
Its hard to stay interested in a game for even half that long
>>343120280
Why would it ruin the game, anon?
>>343120482
For the same reason it ruined league of legends back then
>everyone prioritizes winning over fun
>meta starts being enforced
>everyone will shittalk the other
>community will turn into league of legends level
>no fun allowed
FPS games existed for a long time without these goddamn ranked systems but now everything has to be some competitive shitfest
Enjoy your new Overwatch "community" 6 months after they add competitive matchmaking
>>343120869
>meta starts being enforced
This is what kills every single competitive game. Meta shit needs to be stopped.
>>343119927
cuddle, falls asleep
>>343120869
So do you hate leaderboards in arcade games too?
Ptr or is it really out?
>>343120432
I just keep seeing threads about muh overwatch competitive and everyone thinks it will make the game better and more addictive so I wanted to warn you all, if anything it will just make it worse
>>343120869
It's not that serious. Quick Play didn't disappear.
>>343120869
this is why I dont play games with the people I normally do anymore, motherfuckers are the antithesis of fun.
Passive aggressive whining, thinking they're way above their station, this comp isn't completely perfect and doesn't reflect the current meta, etc.
>>343121382
I just want competent team mates. Losing dosent bother me, losing with 3 snipers makes me rage quit
>>343121293
its out but servers are getting fucked so you may as well wait
>>343121284
No, there's nothing wrong with them
The problem is that Overwatch and League of Legends are teambased so if you are shit you can just blame your whole team instead
There's nothing wrong with competitiveness if only your individual skill matters or you aren't matched with random teammates

>Mercy and Pharah weekly brawl

>>343121931
its 300 competitive wins for 1 gold weapon
>>343122419
Like I said...all .....night
How does that work though. 300 in general then I just pick or 300 per hero.
fucking 3 games back to back losses paired with shitty fucking people fuck this shit
>>343122506
You can pick which hero's weapon you unlock. It's just like spending gold is now. In addition to the point for winning each game, everyone gets a lump sum of competitive points based on their skill rating at the end of each season. They've suggested that the highest ranked players would get enough points for a weapon each time, while lower rated players would have to grind longer.
>>343122929
Fair enough.
>>343122382
They pair well together.

Inc overwatch toxic community.
>>343124213
Incoming to where?
>>343124213
With how much bitching I've seen in quick play since starting, it's been there for a while.
1st Game of Ranked. They push the car to the end with about 70 seconds to spare. We then push car with 4 minutes to spare.
3-3. Sudden Death kicks in and we lose as we didn't get the 1st point within like the 2 minutes it gives you. They have Reign, Mercy, Bastion and Turret man who just keep us locked in spawn for the most part. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? Why does it not have a Stopwatch of who pushed the car the fastest to the end.
>>343124170
Did it record that game for you? Mine didn't, it treated me as if I never clicked on the ranked before. Kinda glad I got off easy.
>play one game
>entire enemy team quits after a minute and we win
>>343121120
Meta is just tierwhoring tho, as a whole it's an effective way to make pubs have a baseline win chance
>>343127516
>pharah
>d.va
Found the problem
>>343127516
because although stopwatch makes sense from a competitive standpoint, people who dont actually play the game at a competitive level bitch when games end prematurely on stream
>>343117664
>Competitive.
0-3 So far
I really hope this isn't only focused on if you team wins or loses but rather how good you didalready had a 3 torb team
>>343127516

>>343128058
It isn't just wins and losses. I remember Seagull giving an example with someone going 8-2 or 7-3 being ranked higher than someone who went 10-0.
>>343128197
And of course there are level 100 guys still playing casual and just recking everybody
>>343128289
Anon I like that anime girl and understand your pain with online shitters but what does the girl have to do with your point
>>343128683
How will you get people to read your posts if you don't attach cute anime girls to them? This is /v/
I played competitive in the PTR and ended with a ranking of 60 after the placement matches. Everyone worked together for the most part, even the Koreans were friendly and played well.
After a couple games on the main server, it's been nothing but shitflinging and people doing dumb shit and it makes me sad considering I'll probably never have the same quality of games I did on the PTR.
>>343122683
Play Lucio and use your mic to give them direction. They'll listen trust me
>>343128289
its ranked or quick matches enforced 50-50. Ill take my chances with people thatll always be around my mmr. Then again Ive had hots games with a 35 rank spread so blizzard might not be terrific at this
>>343128223
D.Va is good enough stop crying m8y

you're right carry on
>>343129430
He said cute
>>343117664
is it true that ranked matches have a better tick rate?
>>343129803
No
Or if they do I haven't noticed it
reminder that if you are not using top half you are trash and your team don't need you.
>tfw 1-2 so far
>>343130124
I play characters almost exclusively in the bottom half, save for Lucio.
To be fair, the only reason that's like that is you can have a team with two Soldier 76's or Reapers on and nobody bats an eyelid. You're not going to run two Torbjorns, are you?
why the fuck can't I still not the pick the game mode I want to play? KOTH maps are complete shit.
>>343130124
>Primarily Pharah/Mei/Rein/Lucio
I'll take it. Mei's only particularly useful for her ult, though. And D.Va can do pretty much the same sort of thing.
>>343130124
>Nobody uses Junkrat on offense
>Hardly any on KOTH
What? Why?
Its the same shit as quick play but with more time spent on one map.
Also people sperge more on it. Plus there are more group niggers who will steamroll you.
>>343130631
KOTH are literally the only good maps
>want to try competitive but only have one friend on PC with Overwatch
>he's not even level 25 because he was stupid enough to have a kid so he never has time to play
How bad is competitive for solo ques?
>>343130124
>almost exclusively mercy and lucio
>6-0 in placements so far
Coincidence?
>>343130631
This is bait.
The only non shit maps in the game are KOTH
>>343130704
pharah is better
>>343131129
You have to like aim and shit with her.
>>343131129
Pharah's not as good at area denial as Junkrat is, and she's a massive fuckin' target for Widows, Hanzos, 76 and the odd Mei or two.
Junkrat, on the other hand, is a sneaky little fuck who can trap, shut down areas, shoot around corners and won't get headshotted as soon as he sets his ultimate off.

For what purpose? She is great in Lijiang Tower.
This graph just shows how much retarded groupthink there is, theories on what classes are best appear and people bandwagon them instantly, creating a new meta.

>>343131487

WHYYYY
>>343131487
Funnily enough, I did get in a match where my team included a group of three or four over mic.
It was fucking GREAT. They communicated and had a laugh and we won.
I should really find a group to play with.

Competitive isn't even close right now. They're not good games. It's just people being stomped.
Oh and Jeff Kaplan gave more of his "we're monitoring it" crap on the forums earlier about Zen.

This is a good thing honestly, better to get all the facts and data before doing a knee-jerk reaction. I don't think anyone would deny both the Widowmaker and Mcree nerfs weren't warranted and haven't been beneficial overall.

Not about competitive but holy shit this makes me mad, THERE ARE MOST OF THE TIMES 3 WAYS TO GET IN, JUST FUCKING GO. Is even worse when you see someone on the enemy team got killed and you have the numbers advantage but none decides to push.
>>343133731
Lets talk about how this game was in beta for almost a fucking year and it took this long for them to realize that widowmaker and Mcree were bullshit to deal with. Same with Zen being underused. They had 900 someodd comp games and he wasn't picked in ONE, not even for a second.
Its a "You think you do but you don't" situation all over again.
>>343132425
Way to completely miss the point.
The fact that they all live in the same house and play against each other all the time is why their information isn't actually that interesting, do you even know what the concept of a meta is?
>>343133113
everyone is currently doing placement matches so skill levels are up in the air until we are placed. expect varied matches.
I just had a sudden death match.
This is absolute bullshit and should be removed entirely.

>>343123598
Not as well as you'd think. Pharah can give Mercy a lot of mobility but her damage boost doesn't really do a lot for her. It still takes the same number of direct hit rockets to everyone except tanks and it only takes one less rocket there.
It does let you one shot Zeny and Tracer so there's that.

I don't even give a shit as long as you know how to play your role decently and have the basics down. Majority of these faggots can't even get that shit right.
And people have been pretty cool so far. Better than what I usually encounter in Quick Play. I was honestly shocked.

My first two teams were absolute shitheads, but then the next round everyone had a mic and we completely shit on them. It feels good to actually talk to people and coordinate shit.
>>343135281
I tried that the other day against 2 Bastions.
They stopped shooting when Genji appeared. Baited me with a few odd shots into using my deflect and then all went into major attack.

0-4
Solo queuing against pre-mades.

I usually have 2-3 gold/silver each game.
This is not fun.
How does each match work?

>>343136675
I said good Genji, not retarded fag.
You approach a Bastion from his flank, get a couple of shurikens in, 3 do around 90 dmg. Double if you hit the weak spot.
If he doesn't turn around, he is dead. But when he does, you reflect. If they are a bad Bastion, they are dead. If they aren't and actually stop shooting, you cancel your reflect animation with shift.
Now you are in the bastion's face having dealt around 100-150 damage. He will either stay in turret mode and fire, or transform and run away.
Either way, you are literally in his face, just spam a couple of right clicks while double jumping around him and he is dead. All the time. The only way this doesn't work is if you aren't fast enough to do all I said in 2-4 seconds, or the Bastion is literally protected by the whole team, which doesn't happen often.
Even Bastions with Reinhardts get wrecked by this combo.
>First placement match

Overwatch competitive is literally dead before it started.

>>343137330
Not to mention Blizzard has said they are going to ban people for repeat quitting.
Great so you set up a system for slavs to get everyone they don't like banned via DDOS without any solution because you think you can run a competitive mode comparable to CSGO without having reconnect/abandon or voting options.
>>343137330
Don't you get penalized if you disconnect by not being able to play the whole season?
And lose like 75% of xp gain

They are probably 80% of those faggots who don't play he objective anyways. They probably even try to justify themselves. "I was playing Tracer/Genji/Widow, why did you expect me to push the cart when there were no enemies when I was positioning to get kills and at worst stall the enemy?"
I'm guessing this is you.
Who want's to play for a couple of wins or so? I just got back for work, might not talk much but we can use mics. I'd love to get in a full team with any of you guys
>>343129298
I agree. On maps with lots of narrow areas she's actually not bad. Ramming people into walls/corners and firing is a good way to get some damage in before they can run away.

Honestly I'm surprised when my team has 1 minute and 29ish seconds to not fuck up and they somehow do it.

If you're playing solo you'll probably be frustrated often. Depends on whether you can handle losing a game because of bullshit reasons at times like completely off team configurations or being matched against better players than you.
>allow premade teams
>call it """""competetive mode"""""
Into the trash it goes.
>>343137778
It really shouldn't matter.
2 minutes to take a point on sudden death is beyond retarded. They need to think of a better method for that ASAP

Genius
And people are defending this shit.
My 3 game experience with ranked so far - all wins, all playing Lucio:
1st game: Nepal, 3-1. Pretty good team, the section with the snowy town was the one we lost, and even that was pretty close. Ended with 15K+ healing.
2nd game: Volskaya, we were on attack first and got both points. Afterwards someone on the other team left, which lead to almost everyone but 1 person on that team leaving. Felt bad for that guy, but respected him for just sticking it out even if it was essentially impossible. He got all the upvotes at the end.
3rd game: Hollywood, 1-0. Another great team. Defense first, never was in too much danger. When we switched they did a good job keeping us out until the very end and we capped in overtime. 12K+ healing, got complemented by a very good Reinhardt on the team.
I don't expect this to continue at all, but at least so far, everything's going pretty good.
REMOVE SUDDEN DEATH OR ELSE, BLIZZARD

It "attempts" to match you with similar rating but the problem is that the rating doesn't seem to be affected by your personal performance in any major way. You can literally get carried for 10 games and get a 65+.
>>343140436

Game came out a month ago.
WHAT DO "COMPETITIVE POINTS" DO?

There's been several betas and the game has been completely unchanged between OBT and release.
>>343140869
You can buy an australium recolor gun for 300 of them
So what is the highest you can get after the first 10 games? I only lost 2 and still got 54.
>>343140869
You get 1 point every time you win a Ranked match.
300 points allows you to buy a gold weapon for one character. So far the only thing you can buy with ranked points is gold weapons but I imagine there'll be other things at some point too.
>>343140761
I'm sure it does more then that. I won 7/10 of my games but ended up at 53, probably because I didn't play spectacularly.
>>343141172
Oh also, supposedly you get a bunch at the end of a season, more if your ranking is higher.
>>343137637
I played solo and won 8 games. Maybe you just really suck.
8-2 playing with a full premade team. 7 wins were complete stomps against randoms and one premade and the two losses were actually close games against other premades.
This must be unplayable solo.
>>343140705
There was a post by a dev stating they realized it sucked especially on certain maps.
Everyone keeps quitting in my games AND I had someone with 5 hours total play time on my losing team.
>>343141424
>tfw never played an online game with anything other than randoms
>would love to play with a premade team but only know one person who plays and he isn't the type that would want to find others and team with them
>no idea where to find people to team with or how you're meant to act about it
>>343141271
What's more likely is that initial MMR you have somehow factors into this.
>currently sitting at 4 wins, 2 losses with pubs
>including two sessions of overtime we somehow won
>after three entire hours
I don't know how you're supposed to get 300 points in a single season at this rate.
>>343141479
What level are you? Are you just getting put with low level idiots?
>played all the 10 placement matches
>I'm level 170 and only get placed with 120+ people
>every single match a healer locks in almost instantly
>tanks lock in right after
>never had one person leave
>people being useful over voice chat
This is like the complete opposite of quick play in higher levels. I have faith in this game once again.

Zen's underused because he WAS the meta for parts of closed beta, and they nerfed him as a result. Pretty much every character has been through numerous buffs and nerfs through all this.
>Person on team leaves

Never enter competitive before 2 or 3 bugfixes and patches, its your way of punishing them for hastly implementing something due to popular demand.

I'm mid level 70 but I'm still in placements. I lost 2 and won 3 so far

>>343139385
Fought 2 lvl 200+ and 4 lvl 100+ against a bunch of ~60s. Easiest stomp of my life, spawn camped them as tracer with my cus as genji. I asked if they were bots farming for levels, and some responded so I guess not. Levels mean little in this game.

1 win 8 losses, here is an example of these games

Hope you lads enjoyed Overwatch, for it is dead now. No decent games can be found in Quickmatch anymore and Competetive will be hammered into a stale meta.

hmmmmmm..... mister watson, i think we may be onto something here!
>>343118252
I am lvl 60 but i dropped it already. Shit feels more like a moba or wow arena than an FPS with these required team setups and counters.
First 10 or so hour was fun then it became a fucking chore to play.
