My bad I just looked at the 52 with the star and the hours played
It's hard to believe that after all those years, with all that time sunk into Titan which ultimately killed WoW, all they managed to do was complete their PVP minigame and everything else was trashed.
And now these people paid full price for a next-gen TF2 game. Blizzard are marketing geniuses.

>>343431540
top500 globally actually starts at rank 68 if watcher.gg is right
Just got placed at 61 after finishing my placement matches
I only play zaryaIs there hope for me
I placed so terribly, 35. I know that my aiming/reflexes aren't that great, but I feel like I play a good Mercy/Lucio (constantly get gold medals for healing and do lots of clutch resurrects/sound barriers in contesting objectives).
How do I git gud and rank up?
Rank 99 but kinda bored of the game desu, can't wait for the hype as fuck TF2 update that's coming
>start at 45
>lose a ton of game purposely being a shitter and trying to lose to make people mad
>try playing again
The difference between lvl 35 play and lvl 45 play is night and day.
I'm just playing mercy, not healing anyone, and only shooting my pistol and getting 45+ kills.
>>343432225
>Be bad and have to rationalize it
What's the purpose of playing ranked when you're up against the same level of shitters who play quickplay.
The entire purpose of ranked is to test your mettle, which you clearly don't have
>>343432435
>whats the purpose of playing ranked when you are against the same level of shitters
quickplay = people who don't try
competitive = people who try
But by being a shitter in competitive, I get PURE SALT.

pffft. Rank 87 reporting in.
Played my 10 matches last night and got placed at 51.
Worked my way up to 54 until 2AM then out of fucking nowhere fucking shittiers and Genji's started showing up in the queue and I fell down to 49.
I got pissed and played a couple of quick play and went to bed. The weird thing is I'm level 100 and all of a sudden last night once Comp Play started onconsoleI started getting paired with people under level 10 in quickplay.

I wish I could reset my rank. 60+ matches are kinda unfun when you're playing vs people with godlike aim and reflexes.
I was not prepared for the difference in game modes.

Still have to do 3 more placement matches with my friend, 5 wins, 2 losses so far, assuming it'll put us around 65 rank or so as it was pairing us up with people around that range.

>>343440476
Well we'll see, either way it won't be too hard to rise the ranks provided we get decent teams. Had surprisingly good luck with matchmaking in the placements, first 3 matches were steamrolls, 4th was a pretty shitty koth loss, 5th was a hard fought win on koth, 6th had a pretty lousy team, 7th was a Dorado with some so-so teammates, but we won anyways.
>>343440602
Stopwatch is fucking shit ball sucking ass though.

I hate the coin flip too but there has to be a better way.

How is this not worth full price?
You get an endless amount of hours out of PvP games.
You think an 8 hour campaign that you play once and never touch again is somehow critical to a game's price tag?

>>343440602
Out of the 6 qualification matches I've lost so far 4 or 5 of them went to sudden death (the last one was point cap that we lost on overtime).
The system honestly feels like bullshit right now because while Blizzard would argue that this is the result of good matchmaking I say it's the result of a too forgiving system dragging the matches out too long (and heavily favoring Mercy ult)
>>343438784
Yes
I'll play as a medic who doesn't heal
Assault rifle only Widowmaker
Hanzo
etc.
overwatch isn't good enough to play competitively in its current state senpaitachi

I never said I was good.
>>343441914
Had 4 Genjis on Lijiang in Ranked once.
Did not go well. And one of the ones that was like the third or fourth genji complained that he had a shit team in all chat.
>>343440885
It gets tougher one you get out of the placement matches.
The system starts fucking with your team composition in a bad way if you even sniff a bad streak or get a couple of games with utterly shit teammates.
>>343441914
>Competitive has the same shitheads as quick play
Couldn't be more right, I've got a 65 rating and it still feels the same as quick play. Players just don't care, instalock Tracers, Genjis, and Hanzos still exist. Not touching ranked again until I can get a group of six somehow.

I don't understand how this ranking system works.

>all the elo you got from winning those 3 games is now nullified by 1 loss

How the fuck can Russians already afford this game? I know they plague CSGO because that came costs nothing but I would have thought this game presented a barrier of entry to them.
I just have people who don't talk for the entirety of the game or listen to anything

>>343438237
Started at 49 almost 50 and went on a shitty losing streak today and ended up at 45. All solo queue.
I played like 16 matches this morning and lost 10. I don't feel like I'm doing bad but around this bracket people don't elim well at all and games snowball fast as hell. I need some tips on how to succeed in solo more. Fuck forced 50/dumb teammates and all that shit I see other people fare well in solo and I'm losing a lot so I know there is something I can do or learn.
>Lost 7 out of my 10 due to level 25-30 retards

For what purpose
>mmr cucks
Hello dota 3!
>>343446210
>play Zarya, Reinhardt or Pharah
>now you don't lose anymore
Simple, really. Bonus if you go Pharah and there is a Mercy around that knows that her place is floating nearby boosting your damage and generally being your collared bitch. You'll be tossing Barrages and Rezzes once every fifteen rockets.
>>343446753
I'll play zarya more but in most of the games I played her I got focused hard by repaers and tracers or get bursted down real quick by a junkrat. When I play rein nobody stands behind my shield and I get focused by like 4 enemies on the opposing team. Pharah seems great but I don't really know how to play her well admittedly.
I'll give it another shot though and try to watch some better players. Not being able to give my team that "pick me up" that they need to turn games is whats really limiting me.
>>343446753
Pharmercy combo is the best, I stick to Mercy and play with an amazing pharah, makes the game a lot more entertaining.
>>343446701
Don't kid yourself. This was always this game's fate. It's community is already pure cancer, one to match even LoL or DotA combined, and the funniest part was that Blizzard had tried to make it so people wouldn't look at stats likes kills and bitch at other people. Now people just look at ranking and bitch at the lowest rank guy. What fucking geniuses they are.
>>343432098
Your rank is determined mostly by gold medals.
If you mostly play support you're going to get a lower level since you'll probably only get gold medals in healing whereas someone like Roadhog is capable of gold medals in everything.
>>343431540
Which is entirely made out of arranged teams. Don't bother trying if you are a solo player.

I don't know what to do, I've never not taken the first checkpoint before at least and now it's a thing that happens. I don't know what to do. Reading this thread I might practice Pharah.
>>343450175
You might as well practice Hanzo.
Why does ranking always bring out people who think they're better than others because of a number in a videogame? Happened with LoL, dota2, SFV, CSGO, and now this.
>>343450651
Numbers don't lie.
>>343450651
Because they are better.
>>343450651
Because if there is a quantifiable means of gauging success at any field, those better placed will inevitably feel superior to those underneath.
In real life, the quantifiable means of success can be money, sexual partners, professional qualifications or possessions like cars and smart phones. In Overwatch, it's Competitive rankings.
>>343450651
>people who think they're better than others because of a number in a videogame
If you're ranked No. 1 in the world at a game, there's no denying that you're the best at it.

unless you're winning irl tournaments, money prices, and company sponsorships, ranking doesn't mean shit.
>>343451259
>ranking doesn't mean shit
>No. 1 in the worldwide leaderboard doesn't mean shit
>>343431908
Don't bother with comp if you only ever play one character.
Every team I've seen with a stubborn player that refuses to play anything but their main ends up getting shit on, because while the rest of the team is well composed they actually need that 6th player to not be a wasted slot to compete properly, and other players end up needing to swap away from something that is useful to the team to a pick that is more desperately needed but ends up leaving the team lacking elsewhere.
Blizzard were wrong when they said that 6 player teams meant games weren't lost or won by single players.
>>343451259
Oh you can be sure the #1 worldwide team is going to get something out of it.
I hate the very concept of E-sports, but it doesn't change the fact that they exist and the teams do get paid for it.
I end up playing support, not because I want to, but because everybody I was matched with during my placement was terrible.
I had to verbally abuse them to push as a team instead of run in single file.
>>343451439
number 1 sure, but unless you're in that 1%, stop bragging and feeling so high and mighty
>>343451815
I ended up having to winston for basically all of my placement matches because nobody else was willing to pick a tank or to play anything but their favourites.
I like the idea of a ranked mode, but I also expect that people play to win and not just stick to whatever garbage character they've gotten the most attached to.
Did they patch KOTH yet?

>>343451962
You don't get it, if you're number 10,000 out of like 20 million players, you're still straight up better than every single one of those other people under you. You just sound mad that you're No. 1 faggot in the world but nobody gives a shit.
>>343451259
You can say that about a game like Starcraft or CS, where there actually are IRL tournaments with prizes and sponsorships and shit, but that doesn't exist for Overwatch and likely never really will no matter how hard Blizzard tries.
Ranked in this game will always be unfun bullshit. All the bugs are proof that they shoved it out the door so tryhards wouldn't quit the game before the fall.
>Current system
>Welcome to sudden death. Defend this point both teams have just failed to defend. Good luck.
>Stopwatch
>Congrats you beat the enemy team, slowly. here's your loss
Not to mention all these superfun rank bugs. KOTH gave no elo until last night, games where players leave causes you to lose and gain almost no elo.
>Congrats you curbstomped them so hard they rage quit. Here's a sliver of an exp bar
>Hey bud sorry your team is shitters and rage quit. You can quit without any penalty except the important penalty you care about.
Also the system in general is silly. You often completely rank up or down after a match. They say performance is factored in but I don't see how.

What do I do when I play mostly tank/supp and play well and win with my friends who are ranked 65+ and my mmr is shit from all the solo que so I get placed 54? I shouldnt be gold in 4 categories as lucio. I can see 2, but not 4.

Man playing a healer is an absolute nightmare in this game, I just can't fucking do it any more.
Having to sit there and watch my team stuck at a choke point, nobody fucking thinks to go around, or to push or fucking anything. Even if I break through as lucio and get half the enemy team to focus on me away from the choke they refuse to budge. Drives me up a fucking wall.

Not bad. Although I don't like how sometimes you get matched against a shitter team but if you lose the you go down like 2 ranks and if you win you don't even rank up. At that point you pray that you don't have a troll on your team.
Are there male only servers on Steam?

>>343463613
No, your highest damage grenade will snapshot and you cannot deal less dmg than the highest you hit them with. If you hit for 75 dmg then you can only deal more (by having more energy) but not less until either of you dies

Thanks Blizzhurr.
Not fucking touching comp till I have at least a group of 4 regulars.
Way too many people in OW just pick greedy, awful shit for the map/counterpicks/team comp and otherwise just make pants on head retarded plays.
The other day as Roadhog an ally Mei fucking walled me off 4 times in a row against Soldier and McCree ults (walling only me but allowing them to wreak havoc on our supports or squishy DPS).
Who the fuck even picks Mei for attack on Dorado anyway?
what are the rewards for getting a high level in rankeds? is it just an icon and spray? is that it?

How the fuck do you people do it?
For one good game I get paired with retards for ten, I keep playing ping pong between 45-50 no matter how good I try to play.
>>343468581
get lucky orgit gud
Is there a reason competitive treats scoring differently than quick play? I don't understand why the two are so wildly different.
>Get absolutely cucked in most of my placement matches yesterday
>Lose 7 games because of teammates leaving midway and autists who play nothing but genji/hanzo
>Rank 42
>As soon as placement matches are done people no longer leave and the autistic genjis are much less frequent
>Get rank 50 without a single loss, most of it soloqueing
I'm gonna miss games being this fucking easy at some point
this was the last straw for me today
>got placed at 45, that's alright
>lose 15 games in a row
>down to 41
Fuck this, I'm clearly to stupid to play even this simple game. I have no future, I have nothing worth living for. I can't improve and I've no chance of ever doing anything worth while.
Thanks 4chan for being the only escape I ever had.

Play heroes that can carry like Roadhog or S76. know counters and don't be afraid to switch if needed. Call out teammates who have dumb picks and spoonfeed them what class they should be playing.
That or find some people to group up with.
>>343469613
That's what I do.
But see, it's just not enough, because once I even managed to get gold medal healing as S76 when we had a fucking lucio in team.
Either I'm really unlucky with teammates or shit I dunno man.
Then again I shouldn't try to play this shit on ranked solo but fuck, I thought the system would at least give half a shit about personal performances.
Of course I'm not gloating, I'm perfectly aware that I'm not some pro player bullshit but I sure as shit ain't that bad either.
>>343469613

Yeah, because that does anything.

Be obnoxious and stall the game.
>>343470056
Suprisingly i haven't heard those autistic arguments in ranked very often, in quick play i heard them every other match.
Most of the time when i ask people to switch they just ask me what to switch to because they genuinely have no idea.
>>343470001
Find people to play with, i guess.
>>343470062
Had one guy leaving out of the fucking blue despite us wrecking their shit, it all went down the drain after that but you gotta keep in mind that MAYBE they had an emergency or some other stupid shit like conncetion problems.
Now, the chance of two schmuck on your team having an emergency on your team is extremely fucking low but hey, maybe some other shit.Or yeah they're just plain retarded.
>tfw rank 50
I'm mediocre. I got to 52 once, but then lowered to 50 again. This is my destiny
The KOTH bug hit me hard, currently at 60 and I'm pretty sure I can still climb upwards solo queuing. Ranked is a lot more enjoyable than quick play.
>>343429092
I'm Rank 50 and gonna post anyways.
>>343457206
would anyone really care if china was nuked?
>>343470001
You just have to play more games. Maybe hundreds of them.
>>343468581
The secret is touninstall the game. Seriously, unless you have a group of friends this game isn't worth playing at all. There are too many retards that just want to fuck around instead of have a competitive match.
Protip: this shit is impenetrable with 4 meis
>>343456645
You know the rules.
>>343441427
Single player campaigns shouldn't be the focus at all, but Overwatch is lacking in content while TF2 andBattlebornwould offer double the content, and TF2 is free.
So I was rank 53 and dropped down to 51. It feels like I am being matched up with retards while going up against Seal Team Six. I know I am not great at the game but constantly I find myself getting matched up with the same players.
>People who charge in solo into the entire enemy team. They never group up.
>Always 1 Hanzo on our team, even though we are on attack.
>Coordinating with other heros while I am Zarya to combine our ults. I use mine capturing most of the other team, yet no one uses their ult to wipe them out.
>Bastion on Push the Payload, even though we are attacking.
>Playing Mercy but no one stops Reaper from sneaking behind us.
Has anyone else experienced this? I know the simple answer is to git gud but holy fuck it just can't be me that I keep losing all these one sided matches.
>tfw 10% of the way to that gold gun for_Mei_
>>343471513
Not really, just pick a bunch of mei counters like reaper/pharah/mcree/zarya, pick multiple of the same one if you have to.
>>343438237
>was matched with complete shitters in placement matches against teams with people who already had a rank

>suddenly I get thrown into competent teams almost exclusively
>tfw winning almost every match from there on
>slowly climbing up to rank 50
feels good, still kinda weird
Seriously, though, what setup does well against Bastion/Reinhardt/Mercy?
>>343471784
Is hanzo even good on defense? I feel like a good widow would always be more useful than a good hanzo.
>>343446753
>play Zarya, Reinhardt or Pharah
>now you don't lose anymore
phara, mercy, zarya "main" reporting in.
can confirm.
Just get 5competentfriends you /r9k/ fags. It's THAT easy.
I don't really like the skill rating. The vast majority of players are compressed right around 50, which while I guess makes sense doesn't give people a nice linear number to compare with each other.
>>343471784
>Coordinating with other heros while I am Zarya to combine our ults. I use mine capturing most of the other team, yet no one uses their ult to wipe them out.
Oh god I know this feel.
>Play Zarya on attack PtPL.
>Hanzo on our team.
>Tell him to save his ult and I'll use mine to CC the other team since they were grouped around the PL to stop it from reaching the last point.
>Ambush them perfectly, 4 of them, including the Reinhardt.
>Of course he shields to stop all the incoming damage but that won't stop Hanzo!
>Hear that delicious Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau annnd...
>The fucker wasted it on a Lucio who was running away...
>He still survived.
We still lost that match.
>>343471784
I'm in the same boat, you literally just have to try your absolute best to carry. Play Zarya or Roadhog and try to clean up the supports and defense to the best of your ability so your team can get a boost in morale and move up closer to the point.
But no really I think that Widow and Hanzo shouldn't be played in competitive unless the player truly truly knows what they are doing.
>>343438237
44 here. Every team has been a shitter team so farand I'd like to think I had less to do with it.
>>343472276
Depends on the team comp honestly.
Widow is typically better overall, but most ultimates combo better with Hanzo's. He also gives recon info more consistently through the match, and when a player breaks through the ranks to pick off the Hanzo you can typically do just fine with a well placed scatter.
Hanzo also isn't countered by the monkey pick as much as Widow.
>winning match
>accidentally hide the UI somehow
>alt+f4 and relaunch, out of game 30 seconds
>get play of the match as reinhardt and four gold medals
>win the match due to a great ult
>get a loss and lose almost an entire rank
>>343472276
Depends on the player, some can be godly with them and ruin your day if they are going against you. But really whenever I see them I pick Winston and remove them from the match. But yes, it's based on player comp and how good the player is. But anyone worth their salt will just pick Winston or D.Va to handle them, after that they are useless.
>>343471784
Unless your team is communicating, never drop a Zarya ult unless you've got at least 50 charge (at which point 3-4 grenades will typically kill most of the targets in your ult).
>>343472397
My friend that plays overwatch is not that good.
>>343472689
The hotkey to hide the UI is alt+z
Yes. Blizzard put the hide ui keys both directly next to each other and in the middle of the movement and ability keys.
>>343462597
But she's not. Unless you're retarded as fuck. What's "hard" about playing her, explain.
>>343446753
>im-fucking-plying that I'll ever babysit a some retard going Pharah vs Widow or Bastion
And then they spend half the round dying befor switching to fucking Hanzo or some shit
>>343472270
Genji can reflect bastion and tear down rein's shield
D.va can E bastion and her teammates can go in, her ult can clear bastion as well if your team moves in with it.
Hanzo can ult them
Junkrat/Pharah can break rein's shield easily and deal with bastion easily as well.
Overall though you can't deal with it on your own, you need multiple people to counter them, not just one guy who switches to a counter.

Flanking, ult farming.
>>343471731
Tf2 wasn't free, for 4 years it was a paid game,
all the 'content' was patched in years later
>>343472446
I really hate how you can have multiple heros on the same team as well. Two 76's, Zarya's, Roadhog's are such a pain to deal with. I want to give up on solo queuing and just wait for pre-made.Too bad all my friends are in different time-zones so getting them together to play is a chore :(
>>343472783
I know, always make sure to reload and have a high charge before that. But in the situation I mentioned, Reinhardt had his shield up.
Pretty much everyone seems to fucking hate the competitive mode to death. The OW forums are exploding with hatred against it
>>343472860
>look at keyboard
what the fuck blizz
>>343473187
The retards will take some time to figure out that competitive play requires effort.
By that point in the season they'll be rank 20.
>>343473187
He's right, though. If the game isn't balanced enough for each character to be viable, it's a shit game, and your obsessive attitude isn't going to fix anything.
Also
>ask him to switch
Nigger, who the fuck are you?
>>343473350
If a Rein has his shield up, shoot past and underneath his shield (since he'll be lifted up). Rein will usually survive with some remaining HP, but the others in the ult will definitely be dead.
Also, if he's keeping shield up just be glad he's not smart enough to charge out and smash you in the face.

I even got 98% kill participation once with d.va

>People are allowed to play comp-play and not own a mic

43 here. I'm getting bored of the fucking game
>tfw I've reported 3 people in the last few hours
One fucking guy danced around in the spawn room for the whole match because he "didn't want to play with us ***ing rats". Am I just salty?
>>343472675
>He also gives recon info more consistently through the match
>Hanzo on our team
>Mfw he never, NEVER use sonic arrow
This happen way too much than it should, do people really have no idea how useful that shit is? Hell it can be a lifesaver
>top 4% in ranked
feels good to be a support leeching off actual good players
>>343473720
That I did not know, thanks friend for that info.
>>343467856
Icon, spray, and enough points to buy a golden gun.
I think the rewards are pretty lame. Blizzard should credit your account with Blizzbucks if you finish in the top 500 players of the season, or something.
Getting sick of these leavers.
>>343473970
You shouldn't seek validation on 4chan but hell, you're right, while I fucking hate absolute tryhards I also understand that certain behaviors simply have not their place in a COMPETITIVE mod.
>>343474017
He's too busy trying to get potg. Honestly this point as soon as I play any match on attack and see Hanzo on our team I just go into an autistic fit and give them shit. I have never felt so annoyed before playing this game.
>>343429092
ok now post how much money you've given blizzard for skinner boxes along the way
The fact that even Kotaku thinks Overwatch's compettitive mode is bad tells you a lot
>>343474221
Wait til you get a Widow on attack who ditches the team in competitive because we were losing
I WONDER WHY WE WERE LOSING
WE ALL TOLD YOU TO SWITCH

>>343473604
so you obviously haven't played the game at all, I see
so i've won 4 placement matches easily with a group of strangers who were fucking amazing but i had to go.. now i fear that if i join up again, i will be paired with scrubs for the remainder 6 and be placed well below my amazing skills

KoTH rank xp is bugged
>>343474521
It's a bug that only occurs on KOTH maps.
the system doesn't acknowledge some factors that regulate the amount of exp you get.
