This.
It's going to take a few days for retards to realize they actually need to try and communicate to rank up.
You need to do your placement matches then stop playing comp for a few days so all the solid shit sinks. Is this your first game with an ELO system?
Were you expecting something different?

Of course they still exist. New players come all the time and 25 isn't a very impressive level.

This is the mindset of your whole team before comp came out. They never left, and they never will

Im done with this game. playing it is a fucking chore. Its just as bad as dota 2 because people are just as retarded the only difference is its over in 20 minutes instead of an hour. I got my moneys worth but I cant take another second of playing with these retards trying to do epic 360 quick scopes as widow when they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a shotgun. I was hoping that by making the rounds short the cancer of retards that plague moans would be gone but its a million times worse because of how accessible it is. LITERALLY anyone can play at a decent level if they choose the right hero but they always spam genji, reaper, widow, or hanzo and proceed to suck shit. I cant handle the stress of trying to deal with these retards anymore and all mobas should be subject to damnatio memoriae.
>>343157659
You do know that the first 48hrs of competitive will be chaotic af til everyone is sorted into their skill backets.
The same thing happening during open beta for me . Level 1-20 ish was meh to cheesy. Afterward Lv 25 it felt more tougher but fair games which people were not fucking around as much till 5 am in morning with the all heroes comps for the lols.

Overwatch has a serious problem keeping good randoms who play well with each other together in pick up games. It's a bigger problem than the forced winrate meme IMO. There should be a way to easily group up with the strangers you meet online without having to memorize each of their names and hope they accept each individual group invite.

I have a few issues, like overtime being way to forgiving, but it's overall pretty consistent. What's your issue?
>>343163589
If both teams push the payload to the end of the map, which is extremely easy to do if both teams aren't shit, then it flips a coin to decide who gets put on attack and defend. Attackers have to take one point to win. They have something like two minutes to do so. They only have to wipe the enemy team once and they win. Defenders have to wipe the attackers multiple times and if even one person dies then it's likely the next fight will have started before they even get back to the point.

Defenders have a MUCH larger walk to the point than attackers do until the end, so every mistake they make is a much bigger deal than for the attackers. One death means you likely won't be there for the next fight. A wipe means you lose the point.
On top of this, attackers have all the time in the world to actually capture a point. This includes Overtime.
Defenders have to play perfectly and attackers have a huge margin of error.
>>343165252
You won against shitters and lost to a team of even bigger shitters
Having a competitive mode is almost self defeating. Everyone want to think "oh I'm good at Overwatch, I'm competive, no filthy casual play for me". When in fact, half of those players belong in casual because they are level 20 pretending they can play Genji, or picking Hanzo on offense or any shit tier/ high skill curve hero. Never switching to to what the fucking team needs.

>>343165297
You have to be level 25 before you can even touch competitive mode.
Hanzo is actually favored on offense in competative play, at least the few games you'll actually see him in.
>>343157659
Lmao I am going to play competitive as of today and only ever pick Hanzo, regardless of offense, defense and KotH.
>>343157659

>tfw spent 5 hours with my friends stomping all the people in unranked too afraid to go into ranked
We usually carried the 6th along with us but damn I think we only lost 1 or 2 games in those hours and even they were down to really close sudden death each time. The rest were pure nofun allowed for the other team.
I'll stay in casual mode just to stomp fuckers out all day. Fuck ranks and sprays or whatever the fuck the rewards are.
>>343165286
I agree. Overtime is kind of bullshit. The defending team can hold them off til the time ends, but if there's some dipshit tracer around the cart the overtime keeps going. So the whole regular game time can pass, but the attacking can still come back from nothing? Why!? Why even have a set time limit if it's so easy to initiate and keep overtime going? I understand if the attacking team is really close to the end point, but if not, fuck them.
I can't believe no one saw any problems with the way sudden death works before releasing comp mode. The attackers have such a huge advantage that the coin flip pretty much decides the victor, assuming that both teams are on an equal level
>>343165076
>>343165286
Defenders have the luxury of holding a position whereas attackers have to constantly be moving.
So defenders have the stronger use of turrets and snipers (as long as they're not shit). They also can centralise their damage on one location where the enemy is likely to be (the objective).
It's the whole point that defenders start by spawning far away and gradually spawn closer to the objective the further the attackers get, this is fair for both teams and why it makes Symettra so strng.
>>343164814
Mine goes up to 3k at random. It's total fucking bullshit.
>>343157659
Protip: Blizzard apparently has some extra math to measure each person's contribution to the team. If your stats are above average for your character on that map relative to the rest of the population, you will lose less MMR when you lose and gain more when you win.
You gotta pick hard carries like Widow or 76 or Genji to get anywhere. Unless you're some kind of tanking or Lucio savant you might as well be flipping a coin.

>>343165820
If you ever have to resort to playing torb you're already a scrub.
>>343165683
Turrets are shit brah. The only decent turret strategy is to put it ON a payload as fire support, either a Bastion plus a Reinhardt or two or a turret that assists and picks off stragglers while enemies deal with the team and your rivet gun.
>tfw you beat a team of *50+ with your crew of baseline 30ish retard friends
Feels good.
>>343165956
Not compared to your team's combined rank. It's literally how the system works >>343165716
>>343165856
You're basically implying that the attackers can make an co-ordinated attack, but the defenders can't make a co-ordinated defense?
Attackers essentially need a few ultimates to take the point so they can't just keep throwing their 6 bodies at the objective until they get it.
Then the defenders hopefully conserve some of the relevant ones to prevent it like Mercy literally Ctrl+Zing everything you just did.
>>343165683
Snipers are way better on offense though.
A skilled widow will take out the defending Mercy and the point is basically lost.
And the attacking team only needs to win a single fight to capture the point.
Defense has the advantage in pups because randoms can't coordinate a decent push but when all teammates can communicate well the map is heavily favored for attack.
>>343165536
>You have to be level 25 before you can even touch competitive mode.
You're right, I was exaggerating a bit. IMO it should be a little higher.
>Hanzo is actually favored on offense in competative play
Ehh, maybe.Not that he's unheard of, but he's not close to a top pick in professional level on either side. I just use him as an example because he's a fairly high skill cap hero, but a lot of low level/skill players choose to play him and contribute little to the team, at least IME.

>attackers have to always be moving
What a fucking joke. Attackers have shitloads of time to do whatever the fuck they want. They could literally sit in spawn doing emotes for three minutes and still have a good chance of winning.
Turrets are fucking ass in this game you idiot. Symmetra's turrets are just for a bit of extra ult charge and to let your team know where the other team is coming from before they die in one hit. Torbjorn isn't even worth mentioning he's so shit.
And the point of them spawning closer as the attackers capture objectives is a moot point when sudden death only requires you get the first point, which realistically only requires your team getting one decent pick before moving in and mopping the rest up because of a the numbers advantage.
You haven't a fucking clue what you're talking about.

>>343164012
Those classes in 12v12 are shit too.
6v6 Sniper and engy still have uses in comp based on the map and popup often. Heavy guarding places that are not far like last point to stop the enemy cap. Pyro and spy are shit
>>343165683
>So defenders have the stronger use of turrets and snipers
This is only true for turrets, which are considered the worst picks in every competent tier. Snipers are just as effective if not moreso on offense than on defense.
Defenders rarely centralise their damage in one single location, usually pushing up or watching flanking routes. Only one attacking player needs to be on the point to actually capture it. Wiping as the defense is extremely costly even with a teleporter up (which has a usage cap and doesn't charge while it's active), whereas an attacking team that gets wiped means little since they have a comfterble amount of time to try again.
>>343166252
>Sorry you're still on console or whatever where they had to nerf torbjorn
Do you literally have any statistics like winrates or pro games heavily skewed for attackers that show attacking is easier than defending or are you just talking out of your ass?

Rank placement experience:
Solo Queue
1. Lose. Losing the 1st point a person leaves. We all bail. Counts as a loss.
2. Win
Group with 6 randoms I've met before on casual.
3. Win
4. Win
Break
Join later in solo queue
5. Win map.
6. Lose
Rejoin group with 4.
7. Win
Invite a 5th
8. Lose
9. Win
Invite a 6th
10. Win
Rank 54.
11. Lose
12. Lose
13. Win
Currently rank 53.
My experience solo queue has been alright but I feel "safer" with having 6 players to avoid a pointless loss.
>>343168841

Yes it is, you can't move it once she's in iceform.
If Mei herself is under some kind of momentum shift before turning it on then it moves accordingly until it hits the ground.
>no one contesting points/payloads before checkpoints
Just fucking kill me
It was so much better on the PTR
Why must every fucking game get plagued by idiots, being bad is one thing but being an idiot enrages me beyond belief.

how u getting higher ranks then people who won more ??
hahaha blizzard mmr
>>343170248
highlander isn't competitive
So is it 1 = best 100 = worst or the opposite?
>>343170126
I have friends to play with and all of the but one are so bad at the game that I have a higher winrate in solo queue than when i group up with them. My one friend who is better than be rages so easily and duo queuing isn't enough to carry 4 braindead mongs with down syndrome

The best feeling there is, or just watching as someone gets stuck in your trap and raped by the rest if our team.
In no way is this different than say counter strike matchmaking.
The game just has (now at least, at launch) a wider audience and because of its mellow nature a lot more shit tier players that dont give a fuck and think theyre not doing anything wrong
>>343170373
That explains it so 50% is 50 ranked?
>>343157659
I still have not and will not buy it. No matter how many threads people spam on this board.
>>343170301
And you are basing that on what exactly?
Not all competetive matches have to use the standard competitive format.

No one cares kid.

>Giving a shit about the quality of your match-up in random vs. random.
Random vs. random is the lowest skilled match-up there is, it's retards versus retards, if you win, congratulations, you won over a bunch of retards, if you lose, you just lost to a bunch of retards.
What about being proactive for a change and try getting a fucking premade, like how the game is intended to be played to actually appreciate its dynamic, stop it with this "waaah all my team mates are retards", you are too, afterall you're playing random.
>expecting competitiveness in Overwatch
Reminder Blizzard specifically designed this game with the idea that everyone can be a winner no matter how much of a shitter they are.
Overwatch is a casual game, face it.
What golden weapon do you want to buy first?
>>343159667
5-5, 48
>>343170847
Junkrat gun just because i love him so much.
>>343170503
Something into account. Also like >>343165716 mentioned it takes the skill level of the enemy teams you played against into account as well. So someone who won against mostly shitters might be placed lower than someone who lost to mostly good teams.
Also the highest ranked after only placement matches was 72, so the range for placement isn't that wide.
>>343170876
It fits his theme really good since he has "hidden treasure" according to the comics
>>343169569
Because Blizzard makes a fuckton of money of idiots and those idiots bought the game just as much as you did.
>>343170847
Roadhog. When I'm hooking people through walls and behind pillars, I want that bitch to shine.
>>343165716
i saw some streamers and when they lost they always lost the same amount as their teammates
>>343170789
i feel like defenders have a huge disadvantage if it's a scenario where the attacking team only needs to cap the first point on something like kings row or anubis, i was playing a game earlier on anubis and after we killed 3 of the defenders it was pretty much gg since it's about 3 miles to get from spawn to the first point.

You have to do it with a team/communication, too many retards in pubs
There was a Hanzo in my team who said he never played him before but will now because he got a cool new skin

LMAO NIGGA THOUGHT IT WAS A GAME CHANGER
>>343171242
wow did you just think of that? You should tell Blizzard about how some maps favor one side over the other. I really don't think they've heard reports like that or are even considering changing it in the next season. Maybe the coin flip isn't such a good idea either?

how can anyone fucking play online games with matchmaking. Must be literally retarded or someshit,
>>343171408
I'd say that I'm at least competant on the game and shouldn't be paired with people like >>343171684 mentioned
>>343171901
relax there Galileo, like i said i only thought about it before in terms of quickplay where you could just focus on defending second point unlike in comp where sometimes it's not an option. you sound like an assblasted blizzard dev.
>>343171954

This is shooped, right?
>>343172051
Well, everyone uses a character for the first time eventually. What, are you going to say you're proficient with everyone or something?
Besides, would you still complain if there was a reasonable situation where someone has to switch to a character they don't use much? Let's say you usually main Zenyatta. However, the enemy widowmaker is just too fucking good and you constantly get shot in the head.
The widowmaker is also cleaning house and is constantly picking off your team mates. However, no one is willing to deal with the widowmaker. So it's up to you to swap heroes to someone who can counter her.
Unfortunately, you just so happen to be completely rubbish with everyone who is a normal Widowmaker counter.
>>343172208
Difference is we usually picked Double Winston and shit and carried the games on our own.
>>343172045
Winrates with pubs hover around 50% anyway because its a 50/50 whether you get a good team or not and the only variable you can affect yourself is your own gameplay. So better players solo queue pubs tend to have slightly above 50% while retards who cant teamplay and only play snipers get less than 50%.
Those with 60% winrate or more only tend to play with premades.
>>343167210
yeah, but with glasses. That makes him look smart. I would trust someone with glasses more than someone without glasses.
>>343172368
Not sure where the ">can anyon" came from, ignore that bit.
>>343172370
>Well, everyone uses a character for the first time eventually. What, are you going to say you're proficient with everyone or something?
You should have a proficient pool of heroes before clicking the play button on competitive - heck you're supposed to be level 25, you shouldn't be playing most heroes for the first time.
>>343170126
>you need friends to enjoy a game
Even terrible games are good if you've friends to play with. Blizzard really needs to fix the glaring issues with the matchmaking.
>>343172095
no, really, thanks for your ingenious insight on how to make the competitive mode more balanced.
I was just so surprised that you even thought of something so profound. Make sure Blizzard
hears about what you have to say because I'm 100% positive they haven't already addressed
your brand new point or even realize it's a big deal.
>>343172463
They want people to play with friends.
>>343160387
This man got it right
Much like you wait for gen 2 of hardware and patches for newly released games
It saves you a lot of headache
>>343172370
>Well, everyone uses a character for the first time eventually.
In competative mode? Really?
>Unfortunately, you just so happen to be completely rubbish with everyone who is a normal Widowmaker counter.
I'm nowhere near that bad and like to assume most people who aren't playing vs a.i. aren't either.
>>343168393
lol u get burnt
>>343157659
of fucking course you dumb turbonigger
Billy 12 year old is going to be a progamer when he grows up!
He's gonna shit up ranked every day so he can make that pewdiepie money!
>>343172496
the picture and the post together, you must be an assblasted blizzard dev. don't get mad at me cause you geniuses decided to use your alpha to promote the game more than to actually look for things that needed to be changed.

git gud you fucking casual
>>343172438
>>343172541
You SHOULD be proficient with a pool of heroes, yes. You SHOULD of used everyone before, yes.
But this is Overwatch.
Do YOU think common sense applies here?
>>343172903
Unless you have 2 apes, then you anal gape the other team.
It's funny because the best pairing for a Winston is another Winston.
>>343172903
It would maybe not be shit if the game didn't put walls in half the objective areas making the act of smacking them around fucking pointless
>10yo sounding lvl25 faggot who refuses to play anything but hanzo
We won, but holy shit, I don't ever want to play with that fuck again.
Why did Blizzard remove avoiding?
>>343167076
His ult is almost 100% useless for killing people. It's more of a set up tool though.
>Knock squishies/hurt heroes towards your team mates.
>Knock people off cliffs.
>Knock the entire enemy team off the point/payload so you can push/capture it. >Knock healers away so they stop healing. >Knock a Bastion out of his turret form.
>Knock snipers off their perches.
>Knock enemies attacking your squishies away
Just think of Winston's ult as "the thing that makes things I don't like go away" instead of a "Press Q to kill everyone" ult like Reaper's
>>343172995
I miss pre nerf McCree
Fuck Winston
It's pretty funny how everyone always thinks the system is fucking rigged and they blame their team consistently for their rank, yet these systems actually work rather well over time and it puts you where you deserve to be.
The only thing is the competitive matchmaking is still new, so people are going to be calibrated at weird places because of how new it is.
Still once all the dust settles and everyone is where they need to be, people are still going to complain, "but my team is shit and is always holding me back"
it's funny as fuck how dumb those people are.
>>343172926
To be fair MOBAs in general pose a similar problem of competitive players who only play 1-2 roles, then get fucked when they have to pick something else instead.
