Wonder how long you need to get 1 GOLD WEAPON in competitive play?
>300 points for 1 (ONE) WEAPON.
>Get 1 point for every WIN.
> You need 300 WINS/GAMES for 1 (ONE) GOLD WEAPON
>Forced 50 means you need 500-600 GAMES.
>1 Game takes roughly 15-20 mins, because comp matches are longer more maps.
>600x 20min = 12000 mins/60 = 200 h. or 8 days of constant play
That's relatively low for that sort of thing, actually.
>>343166513
What do you mean I have to play the game in order to get something?
I'm OK with this
a Gold weapon seems like a pretty prestigious kind of thing, it makes sense it'd require a lot of work to get
It's only forced 50 if you play with randoms. I'll be only playing ranked with my team.
Only 200 hours?
I guess I can see how a normie or an entitled underaged would think that's a lot. On the other hand, it's 200 hours of straight garbage, which would probably make it more of a struggle to get through than usual.
>>343166513
you get a points bonus at the end of a season so your math is flawed.
>Forced 50 means
>making up excuses for why you can't put the team on your back
Also it's a cosmetic, you don't need it.
It's not even a new model either it's just a skin.
>forced 50
Oh look this meme again
>>343166513
except its supposed to be a "reward"
Not something you need in order to play the game, it can be impossible to earn for all i care.
>>343168193
>Reward for just clicking "play" enough times over a massive span of time
Worst kind of reward and just another type of cancer desu senpai baka
>>343166875
Gold guns don't take so long in CoD did it?
>>343168881
No. I don't think you'll find many people on /v/ to agree that CoD should be held as the standard for any sort of thing, though.
>>343166513
>>Forced 50 means you need 500-600 GAMES.
They've literally explained how matchmaking works. If you're at 50% W/L that means you're being placed pretty much right at your correct MMR.
If you win more you rise until you stop winning. If you lose more you fall until you stop losing.
It's literally exactly the same as LoL, DoTA or any other game.
>>343166513
>Forced 50
Fucking retarded.
Also: It seems you also get allocated points based on how far up the ladder you were at the end of the season too, so if you do well you'll probably be able to buy a good amount of the gold weapons.
The real question is, how are they going to keep incentivising it? Are gold weapons going to go away like Gladiator Titles? Will there be a new weapon colour next season?
>>343169029

>3 gold medals, 1 silver and no other medals across your team, every game, as any hero
>This is because you are where you belong!
Herding retards like cattle, that's competitive is it?
>>343169029
LoL, Dota and any other game (CS:GO) also all have terrible matchmaking and even then are full of smurfs.
If you wanted the matchmaker to be better, you'd promote casual play through lobby search/community servers, with an opt-in method for a matchmaker to drop randoms into them for the host to use.
>>343169239
Turns out there's a teamplay element to this teamplay game.
Is it so surprising that someone who refuses to do that is grouped with retards?
>>343169317
>LoL, Dota and any other game (CS:GO) also all have terrible matchmaking and even then are full of smurfs.
LoL matchmaking is actually really damn good and smurfs are only an issue at the highest levels.
At the lowest levels, if you play a new account and actually PLAY IT LIKE A NEW ACCOUNT you'll never meet a smurf.
People who're experienced with the game think it's full of smurfs at low levels because they play like an experienced account, are picked up by the system and are thrown in with all the other smurfs.
Try it, get your GF, mum or whatever to play a new LoL account without any guidance and see how many smurfs she meets.
>>343169474
What else would you expect from a generation that has been told they're all perfect winners and can do no wrong?
Obviously if they aren't winning all the time, it's someone elses fault.
>>343169474
>Teamplay element to this teamplay game
>Replying to someone pointing out the average person of any skill IS all the teamplay in this teamplay game
Nice one
>>343166513
I'm already at about 400 quick play wins since game release. So every month or so I guess I get a new gold skin. That seems fine to me.
Fucking nerd.
>>343169239
>The silver is healing done
>Gold went to the Roadhog huffing gas
Everytime
>>343169317
LoL has pretty good matchmaking actually. There's a reason why pros like Sneaky, Rush, and Bjergsen can all consistently climb to challenger with like 90% W/L ratios.
>Ever complaining about weapon grinds when FFXIVs Anima weapons exist.
>First step requires RNG based grinding for crystals. This can take anywheres from 10-50 hours of grinding.
>Second step requires you to run a bunch of dungeons. Really easy step. About 2-3 hours.
>3rd step requires you to grind out 4 raids bosses 200 times each. Bosses can usually be killed in under 10 minutes but we'll round up to 10 minutes each because shitters can fail. That works out to about 133 hours of running 4 different bosses.
>Next step is pretty easy. Gets 5 items that can be received for weekly quests to do old raid content. Items can be bought for 1800 tokens that were used for old gear. You can generally grind out 300 an hour with dungeon speed running. Worst case scenario for completionists is 24 hours + the 3 hours it takes from doing the weekly quest.
>The fourth step that was added last patch is the worst one yet. This one requires a total of 24000 tokens that were used for old gear. Luckily you can earn about 450 an hour now with dungeon speed running. This works out to about 53 hours of grinding one dungeon. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. It also requires you to trade in certain materials to acquire a trade in material that's needed along with 300 of those tokens for each incremental upgrade. That's 800 items needed. Now these items can be acquired in a ton of different ways but most come down to RNG bullshit. I'm getting mine through fishing and averaging about one turn in every 15 minutes. That's 200 fucking hours of grinding for these turn ins.
That's 426-466 hours of work.
>Tfw there's still another 2 patches to go.

>Caring about gold weapons
kek
I bet you use skins too
You get a lump of points after each season. Dependent on rank.
How much? We don't know.
>>343168396
so youre mad that you arent good enough to sate your autism?
>>343166513
Hold up, does the gold weapon unlocks for all skins or unlock one skin at a time.
>>343170838
This, what the fuck is your problem OP? Do you need shiny trinkets to enjoy a game? Are you an African war lord? They don't even look good.
Would be better if you got Gold weapons for X Gold medals with a character. That way you prove you know shit with your character.
Set it at 100 gold medals, see how fast you can get it.
>>343166513
translation:
KOREAN ONLY!
>>343171089
No OP but I like shiny stuff.
>>343171151
I completely agree.
You get extra credits at the end of each season I believe
>>343171151
Blizzard should hire you
>>343171151
>>343171207
>>343171394
You guys are idiots, that means people will choose useless characters and not switch.
It may be expensive but this way is much better. I can keep a good team comp and then reward my favorite characters with golds later on.
>>343171783
>useless characters
What
>>343171861
I mean like Hanzos and widows on KotH maps
>>343171783
>Prove you can carry with "useless characters"
>???
No, what?
>>343171976
I still think it should be character by character. Having a gold Symmetra gun when you've never played her is stupid
>>343171976
Who managed to get Gold Medals, proving they are the best players on their teams, because if they don't get golds, they're useless.
Keep in mind if they switch heroes they reset their gold medal progress. So people don't want to switch anyway.
And this is where Dota comes in with a "I did this right" feature: Pick/ban drafting
>>343172068
Well I don't want poos in loos who can't play her clogging up the last slot and refusing to switch if one of my friends leave the premade but the rest of us want to keep going
This way is better.
>>343172285
It is all cosmetic, so it doesn't matter, yeah. But I still think that people would look at things like team comp before whether they want to get gold or not. Also, what the FUCK are you doing not full-stacking
>>343172068
Well, if you never use her then why would you choose her gun? Surely most normal people would decide to make their favorite character's weapon golden first.
Even if they don't, who gives a shit? Having a gold gun means you won enough games to get one. It doesn't have to be with one specific character, you just need to win.
Plus you're going to get cases where entire teams are all Bastions because they all want easy elimination gold medals, or everyone is Mercy for healing gold medals.
>>343169029
This pretty much
When I started out I was like winning 70% of my games.
Now its going to down to about 55%.
On the bright side, not as many of my teamm8 are fucktards now.
>"Forced 50 is a meme! You can carry a team of shitters mine and the matchmaking is fine anyway!"
Never change, /v/
>>343166513
That seems like a lot of time invested for almost no pay off whatsoever.
>>343170828
apparently ffixs was even worse than that
So you can't just buy them? Thank fuck for that
>>343166513
>>Forced 50
I don't even care about the topic I'm just here to call you a massive fag
>>343173432
agreed can anyone enlighten me on why gold guns are cool? its just a recolor. i'd rather have a new gun model
>>343173652
It's shiny. That's it. It's why some people spend money on loot boxes. They want a new shiny thing.

>>343174541
When everyone is all one character, you either give up or be Lucio and tell them you're just here to provide heals (you are actually here to kill people)
My favorite character is Zenyatta. Will they give him golden hands?
>>343175141
Surely it would be golden orbs, since that's what he shoots out. Unless they give him a single golden foot for when he kicks people.
if you set the bar too low, every player will be rocking it in no time.
And then what's the result? you've ruined the art-style for nothing.
Legendary skin of character also golden weaon, like Reinhardt Axe is all golden.
Whoever picks Mei on attack or Zenyatta in general, kill yourselves.
You're a waste of life.
Wen Sombra?
>>343175141
>>343175205
have neither of you checked yet?
he gets gold orbs
>>343176176
poor baby, yu upset that somwon likes a charwacter that yu dont? daww poor thing
sperglord, fuck off with your bandwaggon opinion
>>343179335
It's not about not liking a character, it's about being fucking viable in comp.
Mei is helpful on defense, not on offense.
Zenyatta is just fucked beyond help. Blizz hates him.
Go fuck yourself, shitter.
Question: Do I get XP in ranked? Same as in Quick or more?
>>343179469
More but games take longer
>>343179392
so you're one of those faggots who think that characters in the "defence category" cant be used on attack? are you dense?
i cant speak much for zenyatta... his role should be way at the back but mei is great at denying damage, crowd control and contesting points/objectives, explain how that isnt usefull in any mode?
before you answer, if you're not a retard, you'd know that every character is viable and useful in their own way in any mode... so already you're sounding like an idiot
>>343179695
>you'd know that every character is viable and useful in their own way in any mode
That's just plain wrong.
You sound like you play Widowmaker or Genji exclusively.
>>343179773
>no YOU'RE the moron!
that doesnt explain anything does it. at the minute you've saind fuck all other than that im wrong without explaining your reasoing... which im betting there isnt any or you're just parroting someone elses opinion which is most likely.
fuck off and learn how to play you narrow minded tool
>>343179773
>mei is great at denying damage, crowd control and contesting points/objectives, explain how that isnt usefull in any mode?
explain how thats wrong then, ill wait

Jesus christ you sound like such a faggot, I'm shit with zen but i've been with players who have literally carried the team as him aswell as mei. stop being a shitter and mmr will stop putting you with them.
Before you say must be X main, i don't have any mains on overwatch, i just play whoever is needed.
so they are something special indeed, what's the matter.
