Not a lot to think about. Devs force "e-sports" on every multiplayer game these days so a competitive mode was inevitable.
I personally think it's an extremely casual game and should not be taken seriously (a.k.a. competitive play). But obviously, many people disagree with me. They can have their competitive play and "metas" while I'll just enjoy the game casually, the way it was intended.
>>343516046
I prefer how the victory system in rank works. I don't care about the actual rank
Well the win/lose ranked XP don't seems to match it's you lose way or the you will gain
>>343516414
Koth has bugged exp. They've acknowledged it
>The Coinflip for sudden death is total bullshit
The game itself wasn't ready for such a system.
most of the maps are unbalanced as fuck, clearly favoring one team over the other (see: Hanamura, Gibraltar ect.)
So when a team rolls defense on Hanamura, its pretty much just a free win for them
>It takes way too fucking long
KOTH is the first team to get 3 wins, so you could potentially play 5 rounds of Koth just to get one win. It should be best of 3 honestly, so then you're playing 3 at most.
>The Leveling EXP payoffs feel bad
I mean the regular levels, long ass comp matches, ranging 5 rounds. Should give a lot more exp, feels like a waste of time in this area
>Hero balance sucks
Zarya is required every game
If someone rolls a bad character, you lose.
>>343515864
I'm utterly dejected by it all as an experience. I keep getting put on teams of incompetent idiots against teams of professional e-sports teams.
-Losing a 99% hold twice
-No grouping up, always attacking one by one.
-No staying behind Reinhardt's shield
-No payload pushers or objective players
-Strafing the cap rather than breaking or resetting overtime
-Poor hero composition
-No understanding of countering
-Inability to priorities threat
-No team ethic
-Team mates don't speak english or follow hero voice commands anyway
What I wouldn't give for five average players who simply work as a team.

2an this.
It's like you either stomp or get's stomped.
How can it be when they have 100 levels to put people on?
This is going to tear our play group apart. There's one guy who takes the game really seriously and he's always critiquing people over every little thing and he's not going to want to leave competitive. Every game is not suited to be ultra competitive.
Originally I was ranked at 48 then got some lucky solo rolls and worked my way up to 50. I thought competitive mode was amazing. That was the first night.
Over the next few days I was playing about average but losing ranks. Winning 50% of matches but they were king of the hill matches and only worth a tiny bit of rank. Meanwhile I'd lose a payload map and drop 8 times more than what I gained. It was bugged. Dropped to 47 because of this. But as of this moment blizzard has fixed this problem.
Then I had one hour where a teammate would drop from the game every single match. This caused me to lose 4 ranks and drop to 43. Now here is the real problem:
PART 1: All these people who dropped didn't ragequit. It was dropped because they lost connection to blizzard server. The game logged them out and they couldn't rejoin the game.
PART 2: When you're on a winning team when the other team drops you gain hardly any experience, but if you're on the losing team when a teammate drops then you lose the full amount.
So the system has a problem and no one is benefiting from it. Everyone is basically getting fucked and losing rank for things that are beyond player control. But there is a player control aspect to it. For example last night I had a great 6 man group and we stomped another team in round 1. Rather than stick around the whole team quit. Which would be fine but it actually fucks over the winning team. Because they all dropped the winning team gets the minimum reward. If your team is helpless you still have the opportunity to fuck over the winning teams rank gain. What kind of fucking incentive is that Blizzard? It's gotta be a bug. No one could possibly design a system that bad, right?
I did my ten placement matches and got 49. Did a game and won and moved up to 50. I don't know anyone so I have tonsolo queue. It can be frustrating but I'm not the best player either so hard to get mad at anyone. I just report anyone being rude wether they're on my team or not.
I usually play rein or Lucio because they're fun.
>>343517010
Payload isn't bugged. KOTH is
>>343517029
>I usually play rein or Lucio because they're fun.
So you don't play what the team needs you main two characters? You're cancer honestly
>>343517107
>Payload isn't bugged. KOTH is
in my post I mentioned that it's already fixed. But also mentioned a bug with the disconnect system if you read it.
>>343517183
Did they fix the KOTH bug? I just woke up
The fact you earn very low experience when someone on the other team leave is bollocks. Especially if they leave right before the end
>>343516778
Should have added "in before cunts who brush it off as ego or say git gud" It's not even funny how disorganised my team is compared to another non-premade team.
>>343517007
Exactly, it's not fun to to stomp or be stomped. I want to be in a round of <equally> matched competent players.
>>343517107
Well when I play people seem tonrarely pick a tank or healer. I always choose after everyone else has. In the rare case we don't need either I try other stuff like soldier.

GET FRIENDS
Seriously, get friends or refund the game. Why did you buy a game that's made for people with friends?
What's a good rank? I got the lowest of my friends, which was only 61. In the unranked mode we are all around level 40.
>>343515864
Considering it's the first iteration of ranked, I think it's alright. I don't expect perfection.
Progress is pretty fucking slow though,.
>>343517421
Anything under rank (Not level) 50 and you're just bad at the game
>>343517010
its bullshit that 5 players should have to suffer beacuse one player decided to leave the match.
the one who lest should be the only one losing rank. not everyone on his team.
>>343517421
I begun at 48
dropped to 43.
is it even worth playing rank matches at all? what dose the competitive points even give you?
>>343517009
mad cuz he's crying to you, bitch stop playing ranked
I played one ranked match last night after the PS4 patch dropped out of curiosity. I don't like ranked modes in general, I play games like this to unwind and ranked just brings out the tryhard salty faggot in everyone. Anyway even ignoring that they fucked it up because it's just a miserable slog compared to a standard match and a slog combined with everyone taking what should be a fun game way too seriously makes for an experience I'm not touching again.At least they fixed the lockdown achievement.

Just watching the Overwatch tournament they are having on YouTube now. Cloud9 VS Rogue.. Just wondering, since I'm a total scrub, why none of the teammates are using defense characters? It's offense/tank/support. It's always the same. The only defense I see is Widowmaker but there is no others.
It's either: Pharah, Mercy, Reinhardt, McCree, Reaper, Lucio, Roadhog and Genji.

Well let's look at the defense heroes and see why:
Mei - Garbage.
Junkrat - Situational chokepoint defender
Hanzo - Incredible Garbage
Bastion - Holy fucking Garbage
Widowmaker - Situational
WHY IS THERE NO STOPWATCH MODE
COMPLETING THE OBJECTIVES FASTER THAN THE OTHER TEAM SHOULD GIVE YOU THE WIN BY DEFAULT, NOT GIVE YOU RNG SUDDEN DEATH RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>343518000
It gives me shorter matches that are actually fun to play.
>>343517921
Ranked matches can last far longer than quick play matches. hate it when it drags on and than you lose.
>>343515864
Not watching your video but my thoughts on ranked now are
>Coinflip is bullshit
Pretty obvious how unfair this is, also promotes even more ebola hero stacking comps.
>Ranking system is too compact
I liked the different tier system they used in the beta ranked mode, this 1-100 system doesn't allow for enough separation between good and bad players. I'm at 71 and still getting matched with sub .500 shit tier players who are in the mid 50's.
>Leavers/Disconnects
Right now the system completely fucks over people who are on the team of the person who leaves, it's not really fair when you're stuck 5v6 and face a full loss penalty that usually sees you losing nearly an entire ranks worth of points. I understand they don't want people to abuse leaving but they need to do something about this, it's way too harsh on people who are legit stuck in bad situations. They need to cancel games if someone leaves or drastically decrease the points you lose if someone leaves on your team.
>Point gain
In general you gain points way too slowly and lose them way too fast, it's going to lead to very fast ladder anxiety that will see people quit ranked mid season once they attain a specific rank.
>>343518012
>Mei: Garbage
>Widowmaker: Not garbage just situational

This might be among the worst things about playing OW. It's so casualized and cutesy that there's an alarming frequency of female players and of course they all have mics. I wouldn't mind the input if it made strategic sense but it never does.
I dunno, I'm having fun with it.

Is that's what's happening? I keep getting into games with friends where it goes to 99-0 and then the enemy pushes in at the last second. For TF2 it was a rare occurrence, but it happens so often in Overwatch.
I won the first comp match, then lost the second game very very closely. Followed this with 5 wins and then 3 losses, which were all decently close.
The game put me at 54 and I've been back and forth between it and 53 ever since with about 20 comp games played.
Lucio carries games, but you really need a backup like Mercy (and someone who knows how to play her) to actually get shit done.

whatever, I least I can pay my b-bills!
Just earlier I completed my placements. 9W - 1L.
Last three matches were pretty hard compared to the ones before. I'm gonna quit here because I know 68 is inflated. Was duo queueing with a shitter friend that was rated 55 when we started, he gained +1 rank each win with me.(another reason I'll never touch ranked again because he wants to keep playing)
I think Blizzards needs to add decay or something so people like me don't sit on their rating until the season ends for their rewards
>>343518502
I'm confident that isn't true. I had a ranked match the other night where every opponent except one left the game, and everyone was just screwing around while we waited for the point to completely fill up. They had lost the previous round and the current one was 80%~ to 0%, and I was still taking the normal amount of damage from being punched and shot.
I think what's actually happening is that a lot of players are afraid of dying, so they tend to play cowardly until the match is almost over and they're suddenly aware they have nothing to lose. 90% objective is like a universal "FUCKING ATTACK ALREADY" for otherwise uncoordinated teams.
Sudden Death is broken as fuck. Needs to be fixed.

Yeah but being bad with Hanzo is just that little extra bit more annoying than someone being bad with most other characters
Main problem with Overwatch ranked, no drafting. At the top level of play this is essential because it becomes a battle of counter picks, and then counter picking their potential counter picks who counter pick your counter pick to their counter pick.
No one wants to watch that shit, it annoyed me in TF2 and with OW heros it will especially be stupid to see a 5 Winston rush near the end of a game. Jesus christ, I can see 5 zayras vs 5 zayras as well.

>teammates always instalock genji or another shit DPS
>Lucio and Mercy never heal the right people
I constantly have a Mercy following me around healing me when I have full health instead of healing anyone else taking damage. They don't even give me a damage boost, they just heal me. I even type "dont heal me i have a heal ability" and they don't leave.
To make matters worse, I get 3-4 gold medals a game, sometimes 5 including for healing done, ON MYSELF , WHEN WE HAVE A LUCIO OR A MERCY ON MY TEAM.
Don't even get me started on when I picked Genji for 3 games ( I played him for about 2 hours total in quickplay, 15 minutes roughly in ranked alltogether) .
I had a gold medal for objective time on Numbani for 1 fucking minute.
ONE MINUTE.
THESE PEOPLE WERE ALL PRESTIGED.
I had Reinhardt and the rest of the team charge ahead of the payload. I would constantly ask them to come back, no one fucking listens, then at the end of the game, I say in public chat that I had the gold medal for time, a teammate told me I was playing wrong.

>Drop back down to 51 because of a string of games where I get troll teammates (instant Hanzo/Mei on offense bullshit)
What's the point of playing without a premade team?

>you actually literally do not leave your homes?
don't know about others but this is basically me. No reason for me to get out of my house if it isn't strictly needed.
I'm not even a rich NEET, internet and my mid tier PC is enough for me
>>343520638
That's not masteroverwatch is it? Where do I find those stats.
I like grieving in ranked matches

>>343520546
No car fag here
I only go out when a friend feels like swinging by to pick me up. I have easily spent a week or more at home before.
>>343520587
Slightly. Like I leave the house to go to the job.
Yeah I'm doing the same thing every day, but I go out, and I like knowing I have an existing bank account to buy luxuries etc etc.
Once you have independence of some sort, you don't really wanna let it go.
I have no problem with NEETs, but when they try to make people who aren't feel bad about it, it gets kind of odd.
And a lot of you guys are depressed as fuck and considering suicide every passing week. None of that sounds like any fun,
>>343520935
OverwatchTracker.com
So I got a secondary account at level 9. Should I level up so I can join ranked? I feel like destroying people's games
>>343520481
The game decides what it's intended for and since it has a very low skill ceiling, it's by definition a casual game. It's great if you want to be a "pro" in overwatch, but it's hardly a accomplishment.
>>343518361
but I want those fucking golden weapon skins
>>343515864
Problem with ranked is there is no dedicated servers
>>343521145
>I have no problem with NEETs, but when they try to make people who aren't feel bad about it, it gets kind of odd.
That's because they are retards who are afraid of their own lives, so they have to project their fears onto the wagecucks. Real enlightened NEETs don't give a fuck.
>And a lot of you guys are depressed as fuck and considering suicide every passing week. None of that sounds like any fun,
That's very true (even for me) but I think the same is true for wagecucks, only they mask it better, to themselves and to others.
>>343521389
>play on server
>admin kicks you out so his gf can play
>>343521145
Considering suicide and never actually going through with it because you don't actually want to not live, actually sounds slightly better than working 10 hours a day 6 days out of a goddamn week.
You have all this money but when exactly do you get to use it? On your two week long vacations you get a year? FUN 14 days out of the year you get to enjoy life!
Yeah, I'm half joking.
>>343521475
Don't play on shit servers.
>>343516664
Fucking this. When a team rolls 2 tob and 2 bastion inside point B there seriously isn't much you can do. We capped point A in like 20 seconds too last time this happened. Either turrets need a serious Nerf or something else needs to happen, as it stands auto snapping to heroes in half a second is not fair at all.
>>343521475
So you find a different server, you have options, you aren't helpless.
>>343520651
>you have to buy them for EACH SKIN of EACH HERO
This sounds like bullshit to me. Is this confirmed? Wouldn't it just be for each character?
It's not like anyone has 300 tismpoints yet
The biggest problem is that noone uses voice chat in this fucking game, its dead.
You could have smelled it from a mile away that "Competitive" will be a fucking blunder. Hell look at the entire map design, what kind of dumbass actually thought it will ever yield fair results?
>>343521303
>mfw there will be people getting paid to compete in this babbie's first fps
>>343521594

>Dorado competitive

>>343521679
I think that's due to people being pansies. They'd rather just type out everything, which wastes time and takes way fucking longer
I don't even know how people play the game on console, where there isn't even a chat box.
Why did they rush this shit out so quick when it clearly wasn't ready?
To try and hang on to the current playerbase of which ~85%+ consist of lapsed League of Legends players looking for their next life-ruining fix?
>>343521727
It's kind of ridiculous how much effort needs to be thrown into capping when there's just one turret. Because it never is just the one turret, it's one turret plus someone else and a hanzo from far away.
Tob is strong as fuck as it is with his ult, all they have to do is nerf turrets and maybe make him get ult a little faster.
Where my Zenyatta pickers at? Other people just don't know the power of balls
>>343518012
Torbjorn?
>>343521674
It's for each skin that uses that model.
Usually a hero has 3 different weapon skins. 1 is for the basic, all rare and epic skins and 2 for legendary skins
>>343521956
Have yet to encounter one that was actually a worthwhile addition to the team. Ult is helpful though.
>competitive and matchmaking in a casual team-based FPS
What was Blizzard thinking?
>>343515864
Junkrat is the only character who needs limited ammo, a way to run out. Being the only character who can effectively shoot around walls, maps with walls mean that Junkrat wins. Every time.
>>343515864
Honestly, and I mean really honestly, all of my problems, complains, and salt I have over thise game comes from one fact.
The fact that I have zero friends.
This is one of those games that absolutely requires you to get your good friends together and get on a voice channel or whatever and play coordinated while bantering and chill and shit.
This is not a game for an autistic foreigner friendless robot faggot like me to enjoy.
I wish I knew that before I bought the game.
>>343522110
They had to appeal to the
>muh e-sports
crowd, that play games just to show their big penis
>>343521956
Only picked him 3 times in ranked and won everytime I did, Sometimes he is just the right call for dealing with multiple tanks.
Zarya shield blocking orb annoys the fuck outta me tho.
>>343522020
Oh right he exists.
He's also pretty situational. Not too bad really. His reload animation is eye bleach though. Probably why not many people choose to play him.
>>343522110
That they can get a whole bunch of tryhards to keep playing in order to get their tryhard ranks
So far, looks like it's working. Everyones crying about it, yet everyone is still playing raked,
>>343522159
>tfw I have a friend that play this
>he rages pretty much all the time and im not even particularly good at the game either
I got no motivation to play this
>>343515864
Sudden death is shit. SHIIIIIIT
>not using stopwatch mode
>rage quits penalize everyone but the rage quitter
Those are the 2 huge flaws, and they're big enough to ruin the whole thing.
>>343522159
Are you on PC, and do you rage obnoxiously when playing? If not, you can play with me and my ever-fluctuating group of 1-3 friends. There's one guy who gets kind of salty and yells, but everyone else is chill. You gotta use Mumble and be willing to float for the team though.
>>343522159
Dude playing with friends isn't much better,
Either you get this>>343522246
the super tryhard crybaby, or your friends are all terrible and you lose every singe fucking game
I think the real problem is that we all decided to purchase Overwatch in the first place
>tfw no friends to play this
>and even if people try to befriend me, I am already a lost cause
>no friends at all, even IRL
>>343522431
Be glad.
I play this with friends and sometimes I wish I didn't because they're legit worse than 90% of the randoms I'd get matched with.
It sucks to not want to hurt their feelings yet having to suffer because of the horrible skill of your friends
>>343522159
I have only one friend who plays this game and he is really bad. Not using his ultimate, not really knowing how skills work or flat forgetting to use them are some of his feats. In Quick play I don't really mind, although it makes me salty sometimes. But now that ranked is out, it's a true dilemma. Play with him, which is putting me and rest of my team at a disadvantage or solo queue which is also not optimal. I ended up doing my placements and just quit ranked altogether. I want our friendship to survive through this game and that's the best way to preserve it
>>343522542
>>343522412
100,000 times this.
It really sucks. I'm not saying Im great, but good lord they are bad, I'm having more fun alone, where I'm still losing

>>343516182
Damn, me too. In normal play there's no way to tell who actually wins on some maps. That's really all I wish was changed in normal play.
They should have had a solo queue mode with its own rank and a party queue mode with its own rank
Remember that post where that mod said after a solid month of nonstop Overwatch threads, they would start getting banned on sight or directed to /vg/?
That hasn't happened yet and we've had nonstop OW threads for the past 30 days.

If only that was made into a shutdown POTG from whoever actually killed him, because that shit was hilarious.
>>343522689
Gold medals mean nothing. You can easily get 3 gold medals every game Roadhog yet still lose the game because you missed the hook on the Reaper/Pharah ulting and they killed your whole team and won.
I'm not saying you can carry every game, but small mistakes do cost games and you can always improve on your own game. Keep noticing when you make mistakes and try to improve. You can't control other people, just play your best and constantly improve and you'll rank up.
Or just keep blaming other people
>>343515864
It's a joke, the maps and modes really don't make for a good competitive environment. On plus side, it should contain all the obnoxious players.
>>343523067
Literally every Genji ever
Whenever you hear his bullshit, you just need a Zarya or Reinhardt or some shit to bust their ult on him
>>343520290
pretty much. It's really hard to play a bad soldier
>>343515864
> Get into competitive match

Thanks Blizzard.
Does the match not end when someone leaves? When I was playing compeitive yesterday onPS4, someone on my team left and the match was canceled.
Although, this happened before the gates at spawn opened.
>>343522431
How is this even possible? Are you just a shitty person?
>>343523131
I played like shit and got 3 gold metals I felt like didnt deserve unless my whole team sucked as we had two girls.
>>343522789
As much as I personally love Zen, he just isn't good enough to be worth the slot right now. He's a strong character in the right hands, but you could accomplish more as most others on the roster. Here's hoping he gets some more survivability so we can see him more often in comp.
>>343523172
I'm a pretty OK Genji and a Zarya will never catch me. I can just dash away from the blackhole. The Reinhardt will probably never catch me either because I'm jumping around and dashing from resets. The only way to stop a good Genji ulting is if he messes up his timing and positioning (which won't happen that often) or by counter ulting with Lucio/Zenyatta.
>>343518945
>Sniping
I bet you're the guy who when told to switch from widow you say
>But then we don't have a sniper
>>343515864
Rapidly losing interest in it. Stuck in the nightmare of 35+/- and it seems impossible to escape. I always try to go Lucio or Mercy so we have a healer, but half the time team mates pick utterly retarded classes. They're usually they're about as coordinated as an ataxia convention too. Also seeing some very dodgy killcams even on 100+ players, don't become as useless as VAC Blizzard.
Think I'll go back to quick play as it's honestly more fun.
>>343523348
A lot of teams on ranked are running 2-3 tanks so Zen makes a lot of sense a lot of the time.
>we were a group of 5 guys at launch
>one is no addition to the team, has tunnel vision, is only in it for kills and only contests the objective by accident
>one is constantly bitching about how "we" should be counter picking against the enemies comp, yet continues to play Mei or Junkrat
>one is our support who's actually quite good, yet almost never tries to stay in the back while we push and gets murdered along with us and only pulls out the gun when I yell at him to at least try to kill that almost dead enemy
>one is a tryhard who loves playing the snipers or Pharah on every map and bitches every time the enemy team has a Winston or Widowmaker to counter him, yet doesn't swap either
>I still am the only one who pushes or contests payloads and when I get killed they complain about why nobody is near the payload
>feels like quickplay with skill numbers
>we still won more than 50% of our games
>the tryhard sniper doesn't play with us anymore because he didn't want to kill the Torbjörn turrets because "that's not my job!"
The results are okay, but holy shit, it can be so frustrating to have a Tracer or Genji zapping around and nobody cares exept me and the supporter.

That's why I literally said Widowmaker was situational earlier right? Because I think you need a sniper in every fucking teamcomp? Ofcourse not you fucking retard.
>>343521679
So. Much. This.
How would you play COMPETITIVELY without using any kind of way to discuss your tactics? I mean, like soccer or football you need some way to discuss tactics or else you will lose just a bad that you are now losing in overwatch.

From my experience it's a lost cause to play support in this bracket. You could do the sickest plays as Lucio or the 5 man rez as mercy.. In the end it doesn't matter because you're dependant on your team to use your play to the team's advantage. That's why I can only recommend to master these two heroes: roadhog and zarya. You can turn the tide if you play these and allow your team to ein, even if they are retarded monkeys.
With roadhog you can and will land clutch kills and every enemy that is off the map is good for your team. Abuse him while you can, because imho he warrants a nerf. Cooldowns and efficiency of his skills is just too good. This is my number one solo carry character. You can neutralize dangerous ults for your team aswell, phara, roadhog, soldier, reaper are all at your hooks mercy. You one shot riptires aswell.
Another one is zarya, if you think your team isn't only retards she can be really strong with her important shielding and team wipe initiation tool.
To climb you gotta drop supports until you're in a bracket where it's safe to play them again because your teammates start to actually know what they're doing.
>>343517707
Because sheep mentality.See lego legends.
>>343523979
Hanamura attack she's pretty priceless for taking down turrets and bastions. from outside B.
>>343520395
You know that you are matched with people at your mmr level right?
If you think you are a lot better than your team then you should be able to solo carry the game with heroes like tracer/genji and increase your mmr to get matched with better people. If you play with bad people it's 100% your fault.
>>343524301
So is pharah except she can actually get in the cap too
>>343521679
Maybe in the trench they don't but at 60+ everyone talks. I'm just over 70 now and I've only had one game since 62 where people didn't talk and that was becauseI got put into a game with a girl gamer premade and they didn't want to leave group chat to talk to the rest of us, they were terrible and someone clearly carried them to get to this rank

you must be playing on US servers right? I'm at 68 on EU servers and no one ever talks. Everyone speaks English but no one has the balls to do so in voice chat, because of their accent. Which is fine by me because I'mGermanand we have like the biggest complexes because of our accents

>>343515864
my sides are in orbit!
but seriously, competitive is a joke
>>343516046 I prefer comp because i didn't by this game to play quick play with 5 completely silent/Korean team mates. who run out of spawn as soon as they spawn just to get to the action. only to die the same way they go in. one at a time.
atleast in comp there is a decent chance i can have a team with a semblance of a brain
having fun isn't exclusive to not trying at all.
tryharding in ranked is silly.
but not even playing the game the way you are supposed to?
>>343524752
At this point if you're playing solely for a weapon skin and not to just enjoy the game you need to stop playing
>>343524737
Yeah NA, just about everyone at these ranks talks. I've been matched up with Ster and his group a few times and they sometimes don't talk but it's always a stomp win for us so no one really needs to.
>tfw playing Lucio on payload maps and bouncing people off the payload for the couple of extra metres
>tfw playing Mei on KOTH and saving ults for as soon as the enemy takes the obj or is pushing an offensive and just covering the obj in glorious ice

Also some fucking how managed to win a ranked match with two Hanzo instapickers.
I kind of feel bad though since that's just reinforcing them to keep doing it.
>>343524461
I'm at 65 and i don't use voice. simply because if i can play somewhere where i could use a mic on my laptop i'm not going to get a strong enough connection.
