>he calibrated below 55
Calibrated? Did they finally add in the competitive play?
I wonder if Tracer pissed herself a bit when she did that
>>343285373
She is in fact a video game character and not real.
>>343285467
Says who?
nah I stick to feeding on the retards that stayed in quick play
no point to competitive in this until they up the ticks and fix the hitboxes otherwise known as never
>>343285373definitely
>he plays premade and then brags about all the wins he's getting
>tfw calibrated at 53
To be fair, I queued with friends who are objectively way worse than me for half my placement games. They all placed around 30
>>343285840
You're getting teamed up against other premades most of the time though
Calibrated at 53 in only a two man group by carrying the goddamn team as Roadhog, Junkrat, and Pharah.
i really want the mako skin and the frog lucio
i got lucky with june bug and nomad but i hardly play genji
>>343285840
if you perform like shit but get carried you still get a low calibration
friend of mine who got carried playing hanzo calibrated at 45 and i calibrated at 54, we all played the same games and went 7-3
>Bastion still getting every Play of the Game
All they fucking do is sit still holding M1
the system is broken and is just lumping everyone within the 50 range.
you have pro teams queuing premades and destroying all of their placement matches only to get ranked mid to high fifties.
I played solo and got 8 wins and 2 loses and placed at 56.
>>343287639
Because the system recognizes they're premades and are communicating effectively, why place them higher?
The system takes into account everything from KDR, Objective Time, Win time, etc.
>>343287520
Play of the Game favors multi-kills my nigga. Bastions get a lot of those to uncoordinated teams because people don't know how to use their eyes and not walk forward.
>>343288273
It also favors retarded things, like the kill streaks, hot bars, and how fillied the ult meters of the slain are.
Oh, and "saving" people. A.K.A if that enemy attacked a teammate at all in the past minute
>>343287520
>b-bastion play of the game!!!!
>i deserve it for killing 2 people with my genji ult!!!
>tfw 42 because had a ton of shit KOTH matches and went 2/8 in the 10 placements
>>343285219
solo queue never ever again
All this ranking just makes me wish SC2 was still a thing. I miss the extreme tension before you press the yellow button.
dont do your placements at this time, the system is broken
KOTH maps only grant you 10-15% MMR they're supposed to after a win/lose
if you get unlucky and roll a lot of KOTH games in your placements then you will calibrate around 30
I went 5-5 and got placed at 57 lol
>double soldier
How the fuck are you supposed to counter this?
is it even possible to get more than 70? won 8 lost 2 and only got 60
I placed 55; lost 3 games due to people leaving early with an ending score of 5-5
I wonder how much the dropped games effected me
>>343289489
zarya does good against noskill 76
>>343285219
60+ are shitter free zone usually
>>343289551
Meh, they outrange and outheal her and can easily just not shoot at her shields
>>343289350
>press it
>heart keeps pounding
>FUCK THIS I'M OUT
>the moment you want to cancel it already found a match
>>343289489
zarya reinhardt probably. Trying not to stumble into a helix rocket the entire match because that doesn't seem to ever have a cooldown when you're playing against it is never fun though
>>343289276
>at 40 mmr bracket
>died 11 times
you are so bad sorry
>>343289632
well this is as good as it gets
>>343289451
Should note I was playing with my brother and two friends who had been placed already at 52. Played dps / support and did pretty well each game.
>>343289350
SC2 is only dead at korean drama level, you memer
>>343285219
I regret trying to play Genji in ranked. The only hero I'm really good at is Phara though so maybe I really am just a shitter.
>lost half my placement games
>still calibrated at 61
>haven't lost a game since
>rank 69 now
Seagull, here I come!
>>343289791
I know, but with no good guides or day 9 I have no fucking clue how to even start a build, And I never learned how to figure it out on my own.
>>343289851
Seagull runs with premades, good luck seeing him solo queue ever again
>>343288273
>get Symmetra
>enemy team is stupid and walks right into my turrets and dies
>get play of the game
>>343289718
So you're agreeing that it is borderline broken? They can just run together the entire match covering a shitton of area, healing constantly (even better if they have a pocket mercy) and getting ults constantly, autoaiming all over the place
Reinhardt is the best counter I've discovered but they'll wear his shield down fast.
>>343289851
Do you still play with a BR with 200 ping?
>calibrated at 42
>bouncing around between 44 and 45 recently
>>343287520
mad
>>343285467
take that back
>>343289489
Improve your technique
Do you get more MMR if you play a character that's considered harder but still do well with?
>>343289851

>>343288910
>tfw getting lifesaver PotG as Solider 76
>>343290484
If you're like most Reins and like putting your shield down for the fucking fire wave thing, then no.
>>343290484
No, you don't adapt to the set up of the enemy team, Reinhardt is useful but not all the time.
If you just main one hero and not a wide range of them then you're garbage regardless of who the hero is.
>>343290342
>similar stats
>18,000 less healing
>half my time on fire
>half my objective time
>>343290673
there's pretty much no time at all where a reinhardt can't be useful, unless there's like 4 junkrats and 2 winstons on enemy team.
Competetive Matchmaking is just quickplay with a fancier ui
>>343285219
>he calibrated below me, hahahaha
Meanwhile all the people that calibrated above 55 are laughing at you.
>>343290706
even looking at averages they're all worse
i don't know what the guy is thinking
All this mode has done is dawn a new age of ME OOGA TEAM BOOGA.
People can't fathom that they're not the star player they thought they were and it's honeslty hilarious.
Just look in /owg/ for proper keks.
>>343289489
Get good
Seriously, he has no major strengths and is just an all rounder, specialised and coordinated teams shit all over him.
>>343290543
>if you put your shield down for 1 second to do a 100 damage, piercing, and shield ignoring fireball, you SUUUUUUUCK
first time I've heard someone say this. do you really have trouble staying alive in that skills small casting time? because if that's the case you will need to get better at this game
reminder that you are mathematically more likely to lose a game if you play solo.
Assuming that a game is more likely to go one way or another based on the number of people in premades, with larger premades being better than smaller. Playing solo creates a much larger chance of having a team with less parties than the other team since you GUARANTEE at least one solo on your team.
It's not really a huge difference, but keep in mind that your competitive rank and your hidden MMR can be completely separate. So the quickplay matchmaking is in full affect, but with the added difference of the addition of a second rank that is much less skill dependent being used for setting teams, the comp rank.
Basically the game puts you with a team that averages a comp rank close to the other team, as well as with a team that complements your hidden MMR score. This means that while you might have the same or higher comp rank average than the other team, your MMR average could be lower because the game prioritized the meaningless comp rank first.
What does this mean? Basically the lower your comp rank is compared to your hMMR, the more likely it will be that you will be required to carry your games in solo queues. You can see this happen if you have a good winrate in quickplay and got somewhere around the 55 mark after your premades, but cannot carry your games in solo queues despite having 3 or 4 gold medals nearly every game.
Blizzard has no idea how to balance the matchmaking, so my advice is to stick to a party with three or more friends. All you really need are 2 DPS, a medic and a tank to well and you're guaranteed to get at least 3/4 of those roles if you find some friends.
>he didn't throw hard during every placement match to rank as low as possible
31 here. I'll be farming literal school children for gold gun points until my rank normalizes. Have fun treading water in the 50s and 60s.
>>343289851
that's bullshit i was 8/2 and got placed at 62
>>343290990
Considering that Reinhardt's shield often draws massive fire, especially from explosives, and your teammates are most likely huddling together behind you then yeah, that one second can be pretty fucking devastating.
>>343290985
>no major strengths
Helix arrows while continuous fire will kill any squishy, sprinting to avoiding everything or just contesting fast, big aoe heal
I play him pretty often and I'd say he's one of the strongest heroes. Not broken on his own, but once stacked he's a nightmare to deal with.
>>343290857
Most KOTH maps he's pretty useless, just pick Roadhog or Zarya.
>stuck in a purgatory between 45 and 47 because of going solo
someone save me
>>343290990
That's enough time to lose a healer to a sniper shot. Or literally every other character in the game who's going to be doing more damage than you are. Your attack is so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
>>343289632
76ers always feed my shields for whatever reason. Probably just don't play her and don't understand the mechanic.
>>343291207
There's probably sites out there where you can meet groups.
Don't know why the fuck I bought this game.
I don't even have any friends.
I think I thought that it would be like TF2, where you could just browse servers, have a couple of regular servers, banter and chill in them, have games that allow more than just 12 players, more maps, more game modes...
I don't care if the game is designed around 6v6 and that tournaments, competitive and shit is played 6v6, I want casual fun servers where I can chill with more people in them.
>calibrated entirely solo
>get 64
>mfw I keep seeing people complaining it's unfair because of going up against stacks
I swear nobody can even process that they're nothing but average or below average at a game.

It's rock paper scissors.
if you haven't calibrated yet, don't.
blizzard was too retarded yet again.
the MMR gain on koth maps is fucked, you need 15 wins on koth to make up for one payload loss and since you can't queue into selected modes/maps, if you get matched into a koth map you're fucked.

If you want hangouts. Your best bet is customs and a discord.
30 minute scrims are way more fun than they should be.
>>343291201
Exactly, no real strength.
He has good, consistent damage and movement, nothing amazing. Baiting out heal is a good way to take care of him if he's stubborn or at the very least force him to retreat.
Aimbot can be legit devastating but it's really not spectacular compared to the other ults in the game.
>>343291453
Makes sense. I never thought I'd enjoy player her this much. Pulling 4+ people into a pit with the black hole is far too satisfying.
A-any ps4 solo players here?

>>343285219
>He calibrated below 60
>>343286679
Not entirely true. If you have been carried before ranking (premade in QM), you are still going to get carried in Ranked. Why? because the most important factor to calibrate is the hidden MMR from Quick Play, later the W/L and at the end of the spectrum is the gold medals and stats.
In other words, people that did not played solo (or play it to little) before competitive, are likely to get a higher rank regardless of their skill as a player.You two are probably same level, you just played with teams more than him
>Went 8-2 got rank 57

>>343291470
In my experience Soldier is an okay counter to reaper thanks to sprint for distance or chasing wraith form. Of course, it depends on how well the Soldier can land headshots.
>>343285373
haha
>>343290951
>"you guys are a piece of shit, I'm the best, someone switch [class]"
>"why don't you do it?"
>"YOU RETARD I'M GODL IN DAMAGE THE TEAM WOULD DIE WITHOUT ME"
it's hilarous when they vent their anger on me when I'm a mercy giving them +50% damage
then I happen to switch my buff's targets and they're not even bronze
it's even better when we win: we all agree on chat that dropping this guy was the best move so we could gain advantage
>>343292169
That also relies on Reaper not getting the drop on him, as he should be.
Hint: if you're running headlong into the enemy team you are probably not playing Reaper correctly
>>343292354
Or just stay away from areas where a Reaper has the chance to do that.
>>343289823
i was 2-4 before i started playing genji, started playing him and ended 6-4 with 57 as my calibration. i don't know why i convinced myself genji isn't really viable, ranked is honestly the same shit as QP
>>343290706
I said similar, not the same you dumb self-righteous cunt
I stopped playing fair and my and my friends are going turret spam, get fucked were not playing for fun anymore
>>343292414
And already Reaper is doing his job by forcing Soldier to not do his job as he wants to, thus bringing down his effectiveness.
Sometimes counter play isn't just KILL THIS GUY DEAD
>>343285219
>He thinks a ranked ladder means anything in a solo-queue team game

>>343292485
>playing on consoles
>>343292541
How is forcing a Soldier away from cramped areas making him not being able to do his job? He has good range, he doesn't need to run around flanking.
I've literally never had any issues against a Reaper as Soldier and still get gold medals.
>>343291962
No gaming PC and I've always been bad with a keyboard in games. Honestly, I don't see the issue with fps' and controllers, it's not that hard to aim at all.

>>343292772
It's the difference between doing it adequately and doing it good. Go try playing a fast game with a gamepad and see how it works out.
>>343292750
Reaper can generally outbox soldier really easily as he can actually one shot kill him at melee range.
All he does is get into the backline, kill the healer, and soldier if possible, and soldier can't really stop it unless you know where he is at all times.
As much as I thought reaper was anything BUT the spy from tf2, he plays the exact same role which is high instantaneous damage at close range, and the tools to get behind everyone.
>>343292736
>53 and it still works
>>343285467
fucking retard delete this
>>343292329
Mercy gives +30% damage
>>343291502
oh that makes perfect sense
When I was placing a good amount of my matches were in KOTH and I lost all of them. I still wish I played a bit better with a decent team I do very well but if my team can't really kill putting me in a lot of 3-4v1 situations or the healer is getting focused then it tends to snowball fast.
>>343292750
Puts him out in the open, free to be attacked by your team, one or two good shots will also force him to run or pop heals which'll greatly reduce his effectiveness. On top of this Reaper always has his get out of jail free card so he's not in huge danger against Soldier who has no reliable burst.
Reaper can function in places other than cramped rooms as well.

I'm in the same boat. I miss the Quake/Unreal/TF2 style of shooter that had a server browser and all kinds of custom shit depending on what server you joined and so on.
I regret buying Overwatch and haven't played it in a week because it's a game where you literally have to try your hardest every game or you're just letting your teammates down. There is no relaxation or trying out new things.
So in League Terms, what are the rankings like?
i heard 30 is around bronze
40 silver
50 gold
60 plat
anything above diamond/challenger
amirite?
>>343293281
I miss 1v1 games.
Someone please buy me this game
>>343292942
Oh I get it, mouse is obviously superior. Played CS 1.6 for years in high school and college. But I also played tons of tribes and socom online on the ps2 and got great at aiming with a thumb stick in the last decade. 64% accuracy with my pharah so far.
>>343293281
I tried doing a bit of kicking back and trying characters i had put maybe 10 minutes into, and it fucking blew, as no one, regardless of time played, seemed to grasp the basic concept of the game modes. Still.
>>343294125
this game is draining me
It's forced 50 in competetive too. No point in being ranked higher or lower. I don't think teams should be allowed in it because they're the only way around it.
>>343293306
>So in League Terms
An hero please
>>343294245
>It's forced 50 in competetive too
Lol yes anon, that's why you lose, the game forced you too.
It's not like you're just an average player or anything, you're a STAR player right?
Now I await the 'BUT MUH TEAM' reply.
Played solo
6 wins 4 losses, 3 of which were because of some cunt leaving the team halfway through
Got rated 50
Guess I'm averagejust like at everything else
>>343295787
I don't get the complaints. Wouldn't any kind of skill based matchmaking system be a forced 50/50 by nature? I mean if I get street fighter 5 and I have some knowledge of fighting games. I'll start off at the lowest level, get free wins until I reach whatever point is appropriate for me then if I'm only fighting people around my level of course I'm going to lose half my matches. That's not forcing anything, that's just the nature of skill.
Seriously why do people complain? There's literally no other way to do skill based matchmaking.
Anyone getting terrible frame drops since the last patch? I used to run the game on high 60fps+ all game, but now the fps crashes as soon as combat starts.
>>343285219

>>343285219
>he thinks a competitive mode that decides wins on a flip of the coin is a valid way to determine skill
Neck yourself.
>>343296298
Because people think they're better than they are when they clearly aren't. So instead of thinking of ways they could do better they think of ways to blame the system for being rigged against them.
>>343285219
I got 44 and it's utter horse shit, I only won 5 of the 10 games solo but I dominated every game while I got lumped with shit team mates that lost the matches, I only performed badly on 1 match but even then I did more good than harm on the team
>>343291207
Same here, man.
I keep getting endless koth maps, and really hate they made it best of 5 for competitive.
>>343296439
>not "man on a mission.png"
missed opportunity
>>343296298
It works. For a 1v1. Straight up comparing two win ratios and pitting higher win rates against each other until one slips because they're getting sloppy and they derank.
Problem with fighting games is none of them punish for rage quitting properly it would seem. Owing to the fact they have generally poorer internet connections than PC and will give the benefit of the doubt too easily.
When you get a guy who can play Ryu and win against 58% of the playerbase, and you match him against a Ryu that can win against 57% of the playerbase, and they play 50 games, it should be fairly close between them eliminating the differences in character matchup.
What every other game that heavily relies on teamwork does, like Overwatch, is mix and match people who are winning and losing - in games that are ONLY 6v6, and have a mix of people winning and losing. So people who lose get matched with people who win against people who both win and lose.
But because it's practically impossible to get those players to only play with each other for like 50 games, it can't check it's MMR by shuffling the teams and making sure everyone in the same game is roughly the same skill level, so it entirely bases team matchups on whether they won or lost, and combining their trends so teams are match roughly +/-0 win streaks combined vs. the same +/-0 win streaks combined.
With that as the only way this game is matching players, you wind up with complete pubstomps because skill is NOT a factor at all, just flipping people into impossible to win games by lumping good players with neutralizing bad players in quantity (so you must carry or lose as part of the 50/50 bet on the match) while the enemy get the same treatment, but when it's time to win a few, you get good players thrown on your team and your skill and theirs combine as a force multiplier to destroy the enemy team.
Because the system works on individuals in a TEAM game.

>>343296995
>but when it's time to win a few, you get good players thrown on your team and your skill and theirs combine as a force multiplier to destroy the enemy team.
In which case you're going to be matched up against the same sort of team. The logic still applies, it just takes more games to take effect. Yes a minor player has a far smaller impact than he would in a 1v1 game, but there is still an effect and you will either cause your teams to win or lose over time.
>>343296298
It's the same kind of idiocy of people complaining who have no understanding of simple math.
No different than the retarded saying
>"the game is designed to have an average of 1:1 KD ratio"
No shit, motherfucker, one person gets a kill, the other dies. EVERY game has a 1:1 universal KD ratio. The only thing that will change it is suicides.

He's a great hero and I really enjoy him, but this has to stop.
Since McCree got nerfed S76 is pretty much the God tier hero.
He has 100% accuracy with burst fire, an AOE heal, an auto-aim ult, a sprint for mobility and a nuke that let's him beat most classes in a 1v1.

The point isn't winning/losing equally, it's actually getting FUN games that are close and are therefore of high quality.
But the matchmaker does not take into account anything more than win/loss streaks.
The best way would be to simply hand out a shit ton of ranks that don't denote skill levels e.g. EU-1085 League
Leagues have 250 players or so
Games are found with people in that league ASAP, mercs pulled in from a collective merc pool who are those who waited >12 minutes to find a game as a backup plan.
After a hidden amount of time (say 8 weeks) the players included in the league get assessed on Win/Loss/Games Played since these stats are with a smaller, focused group of players. This will sort them in order, and their ranks are then promoted to them after the next game accordingly. Leagues are then drafted after a day to find participants who are active to start over with people skimmed off the top of each league into their new tiers down until their league session is full.
Y'know, like Fantasy League Football.

Good Hanzo players are actual nightmare to play against anon, same goes for Genji which I also assume you think will always play bad.
You just have a false pre-conception because you always look for something to blame other than yourself for losing.
Then again could I expect any less from a 'muh forced 50%' shitter?
Can I get matched up against a premade group in the calibration matches if I queue solo?
>>343296995
They have an entire database on the different averages of all stats for all players of all heroes, the way your 's ore should be calculated is against the global average, if your average damage and healing and everything else is below the global average then you should get a score below 50, if it's higher then you should be above 50. The number of wins / loses shouldn't matter as they are then basing your score on the performance of 5 other random people every game
Whats a good character to play for a noob? Just got the game. Who should i start off with?
>>343297939
That too, fun games can come with custom rules alone but you can't find any custom games as it is. So it is even worse than any other game that is remotely similar out there because you have less freedom to make your own fun when the game fails you.
>>343298057
>Good Hanzo players
And how do you Ctrl-f them?
Do you honestly thing the better players outweigh the majority?
>>343297898
more like
>he plays """"competitive"""" mode in a casual game
>>343298057
If anything hanzo is the character you want shitty players to pick. Anyone can spam arrows around corners or on the cart and get kills and free ultimates. Thanks to the fucking stupid projectiles hitboxes.
>>343298080
The problem with that stats gathering is a massive flaw that Blizzard themselves don't see:
The game is about counter-picking apparently. So good players will counter pick. Except this fucks with the stats HARD because unlike Dota, a game actually about counter picking, you can change at any time. And the game doesn't acknowledge this, it'll just throw you a win or lose on that/those heroes regardless of the time spent or score gained across them.
It also doesn't sound any more effective a solution than just throwing people into a free for all situation and rewarding those who claw their way out on top based on how they do with that intense focus group and testing environment. The ocean of the entire player base spread across a continent and their intermittent hours to get matchmaking queues <1 minute long is a terrible trade off for determining skill amongst peers.

I came out at 41. That's about right for me desu. I guess i'll stick here with the glue-eaters and retards and be happy all the tryhards and Fnatic wannabes are far away.
I wish this game was Japanese. The amount of doujinshi would be great.

>bought at release

Yep.
Is it even possible to climb above the rank you calibrated at while solo queuing?
From what I hear you lose way more progress than you gain when you lose, and you get paired with shitters every other match
Is it possible to go anywhere but down?
Started at 50 and am at 42 already

What's the point of playing a ranked mode in a TEAM game and being ranked as a solo? I'll never get why this is something that is accepted nowadays.
I will play ranked ladder in a 1v1 game, or in a team game where I'm play with an arranged team of friends, But random solo queue? It makes NO SENSE!
You can be bad and get a high rank due to lucky teams, You can be good and get a low rank because of unlucky teams.
This is why modern gamers love ""competitive"" solo queue, Because they get the illusion of being competitive whilst really they're just rolling the dice every time they queue up.
If you want to be competitive, Go play a 1v1 game, Or go join a real Overwatch team and play scrims/tournaments. Solo queue shit is retarded and I wish it stayed contained in ASSFAGGOTS.
>>343299981
yeh because spamming it from afar when there's 2 seconds for the doors to open will make my team take so much damage :^)
When it hits them I'm already at the gate fuccboi

How can anyone actually defend forced 50? If you want true skill matchmaking that's literally the exact opposite of how you do it. Fucking Halo 3 an almost I year old game had a true skill matchmaking system they blows the fuck out of this forced 50 bullshit.
>oh you won a match? Lets put literal retards on your team and good people on the other team to "balance" things out
That's not how you fucking do it and anyone defending it is honestly just a mongoloid mega casual.
I might deliberately sack the placements to get placed with shitters who are even worse than me. Gotta go for that big fish small pond slot
>>343299981
also I was talking defense so it doesn't apply anyway
>>343299949
Is there something I'm missing, or is leveling super fucking slow? I've got 14 hours and am at lvl 21. Solo of course.

What's the best carrying class in overwatch when you have a shitty team
>>343300265
I literally did this and was still getting matched with people 40 ranks higher than me.
>>343300263
the thing is, you lose like a 3rd of a rank for every loss and only gain a 10th of a rank for winning
so i dont understand how everyone solo queing is not going to eventually hit 0
>>343292460
Maybe I'm just bad. I feel like if the enemy team is grouped up as 5 genji can't do shit.
>>343300103
Serious question from someone whose only experience with online games previously is pretty much just fighting games with randoms and the occasional /v/ lobbies in said fighting games. So in other words I have zero experience with team games or MMOs and thus no real "game community" experience.
Where would I find people to play as a group with for Overwatch?
I don't know anyone else who plays. Do I literally just google "overwatch group" or something and look for forums with people who want to six man team or something?

Don't solo queue. I learned from my mistakes by going from 59 to 51 in one day thanks to these people.
>>343301750
How would they get to 59 if they're that bad? It doesn't make sense, it seems more likely that you aren't as good as you think you are.
>>343301682/r/competitiveoverwatch
>>343291112
fuuuck i shoulda done that. its taken 2 nights to go from 61 to 66 and the matches drag on, i had a 40+ min nepal the other night, all for one competitive point
>>343301849
I never said anything about their skill level. They're just ruining games because they perceive everyone else to be shit so they expedite a loss to move on to the next game instead of actually trying.
>>343302140
>I never said anything about their skill level.
If they're the type of people to do that, they will lose more often than they should and it will affect their ranking.
So basically the game thinks you're as good as people who don't try. gratz

THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES
Hello rank 40. Nice to meet you.
Get 4 golds in ever match except those 3.
Why am I even playing comp. Fuck golden guns.
I am Super Saiyan Salty.
I have always been an advocate for "This isn't ranked or comp, let people do what they want" But COME ON.
GUYS
I FINALLY GOT 1000 CREDITS BUT I JUST DONT KNOW WHICH SKIN TO CHOOSE!!!
>>343302416
I am. I got stuck playing heal slut for half of them because my team wouldn't switch and we were getting creamed :(
Now I'm trying to raise it, but honestly this system is so fucked.
>play like shit but win, go up a little
>play fucking AMAZINGLY with golds in all relevant categories and a large sum of damage, but end up losing
>go down
I don't even care anymore.
>>343302530
The pink one.
Pink will make people more angry when you kill them.
just hit 41 after starting on 50, have about a 40/60 win/loss for competitive so far
is there a point in playing competitive solo or are you just destined to lose rank
>>343302136
pre made or solo queue?
>calibrated at 57
>now 51 after getting stomped in solo queue
>>343302273
So everyone solo queueing around 60 should just accept that their games are going to be ruined by people who don't try? Thanks, Blizzard.
If anything, my mistake was going into comp in the first day.
>>343302602
>go up a little
KoTH?
I think theres a glitch when sometimes when you win in KoTH you get only 10% of the rank experience you should get
>>343297624

>>343302775
you sound like /vg/ nigga who went from 50 to 38 in a single day
>>343302786
Yeah maybe that's it because that's how my last few matches have gone, but then I have even MORE questions because if it's only a small fraction of going up, then this shit is way too dependent on winning and losing.
>>343302775

>>343301536
You just haven't played Dota 2 enough you mean.
>>343302647
Since the MMR reward for winning KOTH is bugged and you don't get the amount you're supposed to it's very easy to lose ranks now.
>>343302129
Appreciated, thanks.
>>343300103
Score system aside I've found that the competitive play community is better and more fun to play with than unranked, they have less leavers and less likely to have a team of people who only play mcree ending up with a team with no tank or support, you can't be both.
How are we supposed to get 300 points by August
I been playing since release day and I only have 314 matchs played

>Check his stats after the game and they are disgustingly bad
I had a laugh, almost wished I had stopped and called him out on being a child. Not only is my Mercy winrate almost 20% higher but even as a support main my overall stats were almost on par with his as a DPS main.
Ranked didn't help separate good players from the bad, the rank system is far too condensed for any real separation.
>>343302973
You get points at the end of the season but I don't think they've said how many or what it's based on.
>>343292329
well the thing is that your gold dps shouldnt switch
the fucking bronze hanzo should
>He calibrated below 100
What, are you not a gaming god, /v/?
>>343302973
I've already got 1250 games played and 32 ranked wins. Shouldn't be long till I have a gold.
>>343302973

what the shit, how do people like this exist. look at their name!!
>>343303120
the only reason they're gold damage is because of mercy buff though
>>343285219
I went 5-5 and got 56, I thought I was gunna get cucked by randoms.
>>343303120
Can you really compare Hanzo to normal damage dealers? Hanzo gets kills and not just damage that gets healed immediately.
>>343302530
Punk.
But that ones cheating because cheerful/friendly attitude + punk look + heavy use of pink has been something that messes with my heartboner since forever. And I can never say no to tiny jean shorts. That Tracer skin is one of my favourites in the game.

People with disposable income make alternate accounts. that's how.
I was in a game with all level 100+ but here comes a level 6 bitchboy talking shit at ever opportunity playing Widow. Wow he has lost a match and his stats are slightely less than mine. I am level 97. I had to play with this faggot who was constantly spouting insults for 5 rounds.
"I'm not a smurf, I'm just better than you."
He said that at least 9 times.
I don't care that people are better than me at videogames. But I do get a little miffed I can't punch people like that in the face.
>>343289276

It's less that I wouldn't play seriously, and more that I don't want a team that acts too serious. I just want to find a group that are bros.
Had a great experience a couple nights ago when I soloqueued into a team and there were three or four guys on mic who were laughing about shit and communicating enemy positions. If we lost none got pissed off, and if we won they all were happy. Shit was nice. I want something like that.

You probably can't calibrate higher than 70~ something. Most "competitive" players are stuck at 65-75 range. Seagull is 75 or 74 atm and he ran premades (he still running them).

Down in the scrub levels here the matches are over just as quick as they used to be, which was part of my reasoning. Either stomp or get stomped, so the wins come way faster.
>>343302420
Very true. I don't expect to rise much past 50, though so I'll accept what I get. Glad the points carry over so at least if I'm not at 300 I'll get the gun I want near the beginning of the next season.

So are you saying that you get 5v6 literally every single match and it never ever happens to the enemy team? Take two people of different skills and put them in a series of similar matchmaking circumstances. The better player will still lose some because of those circumstances, but he'll still have more wins than the worse player.

They said that you get some kind of bundle amount of comp bucks at the end of a season, so we'll see how bad it is after this season is done
>>343306629
you don't have to have constant 5v6 matches to go down several ranks, which is what the core problem is
>>343306858
You don't, the ranked system heavily favours your dps not how much you healed or provided support, you are literally cucked in any kind of support role
>>343306627
Pro levels calibrate at 70 so this doesn't seem right.
>>343291132
>>343291241
If you ever scrimmed you'd realize that just holding your shield up is the most detrimental thing you could possibly do as Reinhardt, ESPECIALLY when you're in a danger close situation where you should be cleaving like a god damn madman.
Please never post in an Overwatch thread on this subject matter ever again.
say you don't get enough comp bux at the end of the season to get a golden gun. Will they remain buyable for later seasons?

Huh weird. I ranked with 3 friends, we are all on the same level after all the matches. Maybe we are there because we rotated dps/tank/support

Supposedly it does favor dps and eliminations more than wins. Of course to a degree. Some people ranked the same number of wins and losses and the difference can be up to 10 ranks, at least that's the most I've heard
>>343308046
Wins don't mean shit.
It depends on your "performance" and I have no idea how it's calculated.

This is why "solo queue" for a competitive scene is always garbage, you could be a world famous pro at the game who is hailed as a god, but if your teammates don't play the same game you're playing then you're going to lose.
You have absolutely no say in the matter
>>343309278
The trick is knowing the distances, if you know he's going for a health pack then stay back and wait for when he inevitably comes back out, or if you know he can't quite reach one, chase him and finish him off
I always see people go "Oh he's running away, I guess we beat him" and then turn their backs and he comes back 10 seconds later at full health and kills everyone from behind

When it does your placement matches does it take your MMR into account. Because I imagine a player with a good MMR who loses most of his placement matches would still probably get a higher rank than someone with a shit rating winning a lot. Since their wins mean less.
It's the "we can't win unless there's a Reinhardt Lucio or Mercy" episode
>>343310125
>It's a "no one hides behind reinhardt's shield" episode
>>343292329

its hilarious , suddenly all these try hards that thought they were the michael jordon of overwatch are just your average player in a pub stomp.

They really need to change "kill streak" to elimination streak, or just make kill streak show actual kills.

The fact of the matter is that a Lucio ult MIGHT have changed things while a Mercy ult has been proven not to work since you lose. Two sides to that argument.
>>343310760

They need to replace widowmaker's scoped accuracy stats with enemy snipers killed. So when the cards come up and the game points out the enemy sniper's killed on the enemy team, you know who to blame. Of course making other people feel bad would hurt the skinner's box bliz has built.

Literally how. If you don't have ult just hang back and farm on people where they can't do dick about it. Play it like it's fucking third strike.
was teams of 6 a mistake
>>343311384
To be fair, Pharah's ult does a shitton of damage, and I've killed people behind Rein's barrier just by brute forcing through it in the time it took for Zarya's barrier to break off of me

There is a single person at 80. Nobody above.
Calibration in general is wonky, because performance and what not help calculate where you stand but KotH (which is one out of two game modes) basically gives fuck all helping in determining where you place.
Some real wonky shit going on.
>mfw I've lost 8 of my placement matches so far
Should I just give up?
The whole calibration is literally broken because of KOTH only giving 15% MMR. Everyone who had a payload match instead of KOTH matches got ranked higher.
>>343313403
Yes
>"it would be hilarious if we all went thorbjorn XD"
I don't care if we fucking wrecked it, it's not fun shooting at turrets an entire match. I have literally no idea why stacking is allowed in this game. Blizzard defends it by saying it adds strategy but all it means is that if someone stacks a hero we just have to stack their counter, and it attracts meme shitters who thinks it will be fun going 6 hanzos effectively wasting everyone's time.
>>343313506

>>343313694
It literally isn't possible you retard. If you lose a payload map, you need to win 8 KOTH maps to make up for the loss. Are you saying having a winrate of 89% should be necessary to crawl up a centimeter?
>Not wanting a low rating to start with.
>Not wanting some easy matches early on so you can rack up the points with ease.
DInguses All..
>>343313694
you can have one bad payload match and fuck over five or more of your koth wins
you're basically saying "if you have a 95% win rate you'll be able to get past 50 rank"

>>343306661

I only play these games with my scrub tier friends so its natural.
>>343314154
I actually lost a match against 5 players. they decided to continue without the sixth
3 of them were Bastions so fuck them
You figure Blizzard would be placing a priority on fixing ranked when they have 2 game modes and 1 of them is bugged.
At least coinflips are going away in S2, but the fact that they were there in the first place is ???. Overwatch is great, I can't wait to see all the clown shit Blizzard's gonna do with this game.
>>343314068
You get better fighting good players anon, not farming.
>>343311384
>>Reinhardt, why did you lower your shield protecting 3 people from Pharah ult?
It probably wasn't voluntary, Pharah's ult does 4500 damage so it'll break a full Rein shield before it's half over
I'm bad and can't carry 1v6, or pay competently 6v6. What more can I say?
>>343314306
Even if you play with your friends your performance is measured by Blizzard.
>>343314286
That isn't what we said. We said that the system is broken at the moment because you need at least 80% of a win rate to climb centimeters, because every loss costs a meter off the bar while the KOTH wins count only abysmally.
If you only play Payload or Hybrid maps, yes, then you need to perform above average and get an above average rank.
If you get on KOTH instead, you are basically playing a wasted game. You need to play 2 hours of winning KOTH to make up for 20 minutes loss on Payload.
>>343285219

They can be. Winning or losing, KOTH is a waste of time, the random chance to waste 30 minutes of you life on a map to play best of three for a cm change isn't worth it. Either all maps have an equal worth or the system is flawed.
Until the already confirmed bug has been fixed, everyone who had the pleasure of playing KOTH hill maps during their placement matches or playing around the 50s can't climb up properly at all.

There is a bug on KoTH, but you should only be losing a small amount of skill level for losing them.

the point was that you can have a shitton of koth wins and it won't matter much because you can lose one payload match and effectively erase all that progress
>>343307867
literally the same
I think people who main support get gimped in terms of ranking as you don't really earn many medals outside healing
Somehow I've had consistently worse teammates post-calibration than pre-, and the enemies have been tough enough that I can't just roll them with my own contribution. I was on a winning streak rising to 60 (calibrated 56 going 8-2), then all of a sudden I'm having to pick support and tank every match and watch my team get rocked by a pretty damn good Pharah, or a good Soldier, or Zarya and so on.
I've been on a steady rise since I learned to insta-lock offense, also helps that I tend to load faster than everyone else and see the selection screen first.

>>343316238
Lijiang, Nepal and Ilios are King of the Hill maps. Their concept is KOTH, they just call it Control.
There's Assault (Hanamura, Volskaya, Anubis)
Hybrid (Numbani, King's Row, Hollywood)
and Payload (Route 66, Dorado, whatever)
It`s the KOTH/Control Point maps that are fucked.
>>343316452
There is no "MMR hell" and there has never been in any game. It's just an excuse.
>>343315698
??? The point was that sure you're wasting time, but if you're as GOOD as you say you are. Then you literally should be carrying yourself into the proper skill rating you should be.
If you can't get a positive win percentage on Payload maps then why do you think you deserve a better rank?

Maybe in ASSFAGGOTS that'd be true but you can't carry an entire team alone in this game unless you're a fucking godlike offensive player with 10 years of Quake under your belt.

They're going to be rewards strictly for the best players though.
I win 7/10 and calibrate at 40. How does this system work? Keep in mind I lost those three games in a row with a pre-made. I solo queued the rest and won six in a row.
>>343316842
FORCED FIVE
>>343316721
you are defending a known bug in the skill ranking system
people shouldn't have to aim for a positive win rate in just one certain game type while ignoring their win rate in another, because that's inconsistent
>>343317059
If anything it would be easier in fps since you don't have shit like gold and levels as a factor. Only thing even remotely similar is the ult meter. Having bad teammates in assfaggots literally makes you play worse.
>>343317059
So what you're saying is, the better players will get a higher rating because they're better? Thanks, gotcha
>>343317005
>taking competitive play super seriously
isn't that the point of competition tho?
>>343317023
>waiting for some patch that is going to take all month to come out
>when all the serious players are way ahead of you and you're stuck with the shitters
lmao good luck family
>>343317161I also have a winrate of exactly 50%Fucking Blizzard
>>343316842
>post didn't end in 5
You fucked up anon.
>>343317145
yeh too bad competitive doesnt split solo and group play, so people playing in 6 man stacks will always be higher
>Play comp tf2 for years
>Do well in placements but only win 4/10 because only I am conetsting everyone else is jerking off to hanzo in the corner
>Get placed in the low 30s
Yeah okay.
>>343317149
It probably lumps you with people with similar MMR in the placement matches. So if you're low MMR getting a lot of wins doesn't really mean much.
>have 57% winrate in competitive
>maintain the winrate
>deranking from losses
this isnt how matchmaking works blizzard
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>343317235
Pretty sure you're trolling at this point, I'm not defending a bug at all. Your skill rating is accurate, KoTH isn't the reason why you're a shitter who can't win games by himself.
>>343317464
I think losing three in a row fucked me. I don't belong in this MMR, I keep stomping on niggas harder than I did in most quick play games. Do I get more Blizzbucks for playing well?
>Duo Queue with best bud.
>Cause two games to RQ.
>Six v Two and Six v Four.
>Won 8 of our placement matches.
>Both get ranked 45.
I know we're both pretty damn good, At least 50 or better. Did those two games where we fought a gimped team really fuck our MMR that hard?
The fuck?
>>343317248
In this game? It's to get gold gun points to show off your favorite character. What's the point in desperately trying to float around in the 60s for months on end? To go pro? Brag about it here? Just have fun with friends or find the fun in solo queues.
>>343290002
A roadhog will still eat a soldier with 1 hook. You're not supposed to deal with 2 or 3 people by yourself so other than that you should rely on your team.
>>343317724
how many were KOTH?
I heard of someone going 2-50 last night... crazy. Didn't know you could be so bad at a team game. (Understandable if you are new to fighting games or dueling though)
>>343317858
A shit ton.
Fucking Blizzard.
>>343317258
This kind of mindset baffles me. Nobody but you will ever care how far you rank up.
>>343317724
If you were playing support or a tank you get less rating during placements
t. queued as support with dps premade and got rank 48 while the rest got 57-63
>>343317978
He was tanking
I was playing edgelord and walked away with 3 golds a game for at least six of the matches.
>>343317149
If you won on KOTH and lost on payload or control point then your skill rating is probably lower than it should be.
>>343317753
this
comp is just for gold gun points
it doesnt actually mean anything, its just a game mode for people with a semblance of an idea of how to play the game
rank is meaningless and unless youre premade you wont be going higher
Pretty embarrassing that Blizzard didn't catch the KOTH bug even though it was constantly reported throughout its beta phase in PTR.
>>343317582
I don't know what point you're trying to make when there is an obvious problem with the weight of each individual match. Even the best players have bad matches sometimes and when the bad match happens to be a payload match it's far more of a loss than it would be if it was a koth match.

3 people wouldn't need a shield (unless they were clustered)
