Overwatch: Inconsistent Competitive Experience

because the game is shiet

>>379095967
>Why are close, well-fought games so few and far between for me???
Because you aren't in an organized team of six friends competing against other full squads at the highest ranks of play.
If you're playing solo queue or even with an incomplete party of 2-5, you are subjecting yourself to non-competitive "competitive" bullshit full of a shitload of selfish, dumb kids who aren't going to play well with you. It doesn't matter whatever some arbitrary number reads, it won't tell you shit.

Stop playing "competitive" if you can't get a full party of bros together. Shit isn't competitive, it's a dice roll.

>>playing comp and getting stuck at the same SR

You're not playing competitive though
You're playing a Rated Matchmaking system

You're just a stupid trenchie who refuses to learn to improve - Just like all the complained in MOBAs, you're just playing an FPS now.

Grow up.

Winning a game in 6 stack will yield you 10 SR max while losing costs you 50

>>379096730
>win a game handily with some randoms in comp
>we all join a group to make a 6 stack
>win maybe one or two more games and then get shit stomped
>other team isn't even a 6 stack
>group instantly dissolves
I just stopped playing comp. That's not even mentioning how someone will leave a quarter of the time.

>do pretty well last season, maybe up to 2200ish
>lose about half my matches
>1911 starting SR
haha gay

>>379097494
Chances are you sucked dick in QP prior to that and weren't doing that great against players which the game thought were on your skill level so you never went up. SR =/= MMR

>>379097816
Why do they even hide MMR.

I went 3-1-6 and got 4208

guess you gotta get good daddy-o

>>379097816
>fuck around in QP for ages
>never realized it would change my placement in a completely different fucking mode

This is why I hate matchmaking in games, I prefer absolute chaos because it's just more fun in the end.
>>379098190
Also this. It's usually some faggot that doesn't know what he's doing that's calling the shots, so he's sending everyone in to their deaths. I do way better in Overwatch and most other games with no communication, unless I'm playing with friends.

competitive isn't actually "competitive", with how many griefers, throwers and one trick ponies there are

it's basically glorified quickplay with fancy symbols

it's really fun when both your team and the enemy team aren't filled with autists who will ruin the game though

Should I keep playing Zenyatta if my aim is shit?
t.1600

>>379098501
I mean, if you're grandmaster the other seasons you'll be placed there this season.

I was 2200 last season but for placements I queued up with some losers and we got put at 3700 because their mmr got averaged with mine - which is what they wanted anyways for pubstomping/smurf reasons.

>>379097494
You suck dude
I lost 3-7
Scored 3000

>>379096980
This statement is exaggerated, but there's some truth in the fact that you will lose more SR than you gain in a six stack. Fuck Blizzard not wanting you to play like a team with friends.

>>379099081
This desu

>>379097494
you did bad at QP and now you have to slug your way up.

>>379095967
The first thing I always do in a match is to mute my entire team.

>>379099103
Try using heroes that use tracking aim. Like Zarya, D.VA, Bastion, or Reaper.

>D.VA
>tracking aim
D.Va is all about positioning and timing your M2

>>379099081
yea, picking bastion is actually the correct choice because most of the enemies are too stupid to know how to deal with high DPS.
at least until you get to Masters rank.

>play with my buddy from work
>go pharah an have 3 gold or silver in every game
>buddy player mercy to pocket me every game.
>get placed 1875 silver
>buddy get placed 2680 platinum

How do the sort people??????

>>379099770
>Tracking aim
What?

>>379095967
>both of these outcomes occur at the EXACT same SR
Are you plat?

>>379096730
this.

>>379100618
Characters that deal sustained damage over time, rather than ones that deal burst damage, and there for benefit from you being able to keep your target in your sights for as long as possible.

>>379100618
that thing where you have to follow someone with your mouse while they move, think of zarya's beam

>>379095967
forced 50% is not a meme

>>379100593
I think its based on previous seasons like league of legends ranks system, if you were silver last season than he takes that into account and places you about where you were before, your friends account was fresh maybe?

>playing comp
this was your first mistake.
why even bother.
Ok I can get if you are with a group of 6 bros who want to do the best you can do, but unless it is that or you are a "pro" meme gamer, fuck it.
Is a gold skin for every characters gun really worth it.
>takes more time in a comp match for less xp
>autistic team mates ruin the game and as it takes longer you have a high change of rage quits.
>gets you vexxed because your team loses and you cant pull it back.
at least quick play or one of the arcade cards you can mess around, have fun and not have to take it too seriously..

I do my placement matches each season for the sprays and logo, and a few comp matches when I am drunk.
Will probably get a gold gun for zarya end of this season.
