McRee destroys Tracer.

But the problem is, since McRee is a hard counter to only Tracer since his nerf, and Tracer can destroy almost any non tank with ease, it's a balance problem.

Basically, Blizzard needs to ignore the whiners and just balance the game as they see fit.

I was doing fine in soloq until I joined a 4 stack after we stomped.
They all took breaks to rip bongs and get snacks and then after we got into the next comp match one immediately dropped out and another one said he got a text message saying his router died.
I kinda bite myself in the ass because that's the only leaver I had seen in my calibration matches and if I had just kept with solo q I may have gone 7/10 instead of 5/10.
Placed 49 regardless, fairly confident I'll be able to get up to 60.

>>345212768
it does adjust your win/loss percentage based upon your performance. if you perform well, you lose less on losses and get more on wins.
>>
>>345214603

Yes, that's initial placement.

But that's pretty much all it is.
>>
>>345214603
It sorta does for placement, but after that its all about winning/losing, and how good you do only affects small amounts of rank you gain or lose
>>
>>345214638
its because people like to flank and then shit the bed. it's extremely easy to get at least bronze damage in this game -- you simply stay near the tank and healer and shoot what they're shooting at. it is literally THAT EASY to be in the top 5% of this game but people refuse to do that, instead going for dumb flanks that never work.

sometimes it's my fault my team loses a teamfight but more often than not it's people not doing damage to frontliners and instead going for flanks that bait me and the healer that lose us games. sad! i can only play like two games of this shit now before i get off.

You can make a counter to tracer without giving a hero a frustrating no-skill combo

Change the flashbang so that it instead silences the target for 3-5 seconds. There you go, you now have a tracer counter and there is outplay potential

As a 62 player at least you arent getting matched with 70-77s

They removed it after the beta in favor of this 1-100 system.

Not a good change imo, the system as it stands now is too condensed and the matchmaking is way too loose. You also gain and lose ranks WAY too fast so it's hard to really stabilize at your skill tier.

I slightly sympathize with the hate for constant complaints and nomath.jpg. I still fucking hate the matchmaking process where a string of bad players or quitters can annihilate your progress. The matchmaking just feels so base and bizarre. I went from 55 to 46 and just now clawed my ass back to 52, and I'd LOVE to blame myself and git gud, but luck and the community is a huge factor.

You go into "competitive" with an expectation that players will communicate and attempt some follow-through, but you just can't trust randoms. The 62+ I've seen tend to stick to groups of four or larger and keep grinding it out. Hats off to those fucks, but the rest of us gotta scum it out like it's MOBA hell.

Looks like you found your skill rating, senpai.

How do you rank up while doing solo queue? I did my placements with a friend and we both got 53. Then I played with my full squad and got up to 62. Since then I've been solo queuing and almost every single game I am placed with incompetent retards who are allergic to the point. Every game I have 3 or 4 gold medals, almost always including objective time. Then when I do win someone on the enemy team leaves 50% of the time so I get no experience. I'm back down to rank 55 and it's just not fun.

Do you contest the objective when no one else can in overtime? Even when it's not ideal for your character? This is all it takes to be a credit to the team.

You're probably right. But I swear as soon as I get to 60 I get a run of bad games, either due to me completely shitting it or my team not working well together.

Learn statistics and you will see that your team is on average not magically shittier than your opponents. You rank up by being better than the average player at the skill rating you're at (and not playing heroes that rely on others to perform well).

The one thing that pisses me off more than anything about competitive is that you get punished so hard if anyone leaves the game, no matter what side they were on.

If someone on your team leaves you are almost always guaranteed to lose and then you'll probably lose an entire rank because of it.

If someone on the enemy team leave then you should win but you won't go up any rank for it.
>>
>>345228843
It's been proven. I don't know the exact numbers but Cloud9 all did their placements together and everyone got in the 70s, but their healer got in the 60s.

On top of wins/losses it ranks you based on how much you healed compared to other healers in the game. If your team is good they won't be taking as much damage and the enemy will be taking a lot more damage so their healer has a chance to get a lot more healing than you possibly could. Also if you have two supports on your team that is less healing for each one.

Ain't no shame in 76. Fags might tell you you're a no skill shitter but Overwatch is easy a shit for every character but Zarya. 76 fits in most any composition so you can be a credit to your team at any time.

Being better than the average player gets you more rank but you still go up with wins and down with losses. If my teams can't get wins then I can't go up. I know how the system works and I'm saying no matter how good I am I can't carry a team that won't try for the objective.

If that's the case it should even out, unless you queue up with a good team every single game. Which is what happened to the C9's healer, he barely healed anyone since his team just stomped every match.
>>
>>345230058

If you're superior to the average player at your current rating, you *will* rank up over time because you will win more often than you lose *on average*.

The system works in a number of ways that fucks over supports, as a Mercy specifically you won't have a good K/D, will only reliably get one medal, and when compared against your heroes "average stats" on said map you could swing wildly below it for reasons outside of your control.

In games that I win as a stomp our DPS players get 60-75& of a level at a minimum but as a support I'll get 20-30%. I played perfectly and kept people alive, had a clutch res that saved us from losing a point, and only died once but none of that matters because I got one medal and had "low average stats".

Supports, especially Mercy, get fucked hard by the system as it is now.
>>
>>345221304
Wait for the rest of your team you idiot, you are a support
>>
>>345230717
It's possible that that's the case to some extent, but no one except the devs really know exactly how the game calculates how much SR you get per match.
I also play mostly healer and gain the same amount of SR that I get when I play something like roadhog and get 4 gold medals.

I got in an argument with our mercy player (I usually play pharah/76) about how little rezzes we were getting. The argument spiraled into me playing mercy, him playing pharah, and managed to double his rez count while he didnt even comr close to my average damage. Thats when i knew it was time to ditch my friends.

Yes, but out of my last 20 games I've only won 6 and out of those only 3 of them gave me rank because enemies left on the other 3. I don't know if I'm just in an unlucky streak but it's just been very frustrating.
>>
>>345231231

It's already been examined and proven by multitudes of people, everyone from solo players to pro players have noticed it and even blizzard has stated they want to fix it.

Supports gain less rank on wins and lose more rank on losses.

Then you just aren't as good as you think you are.

Also opponents leaving not giving ranks is being fixed.
>>
The ranking system is fucking stupid. If you lose and you did the best on your team then your rank should still increase, at least in solo queue. If the teams are "balanced" then you will always win about 50% of the time. You sure as hell can't carry the game by yourself, so it isn't really fair that you're judged from your team mates performances as well. It's nearly impossible to climb rank solo queue.

How am I not as good as I think I am when I'm the best on my team almost every game? Because I can't carry a useless team? No matter how good you are you couldn't win with a team that sucked.

Basically. Just ignore your rank and remember every win gets you .33% of a golden weapon.
