its pretty great

you get around 12-13k for ranked, 5-6k for arcade

I play Overwatch for around 30-40 hours then I have to give it a year-long break

game is way too shit to play constantly, and is only fun in small bursts

>>379567604
Are you me famalam

>>379567878
Depends if you only play Bastion, Torb, or Sym each time.
I've actually been using CTF to try out characters I'm not good with, since there is a lot of waiting around the the enemy team to attack.

>>379567736
I played it and got to a pretty high rank in the first season playing only tracer. She was the only character who had remotely interesting and unique movement and gameplay. Stopped and went back to ostfront and other not shit shooters.

What's the point of experience points

>>379568097
you get a sick loot box each time you level up

ended up getting 8800 in mayhem so far(didnt including the 1500 first win)

i still dont know how xp is fucking calculated in this

>>379568448
It's like 3 xp a second baseline, 1500 first win, medals are a few hundred, and consecutive games are 300. Now times that by two.

>>379569768
McCree shouldn't even be in this game anymore.

>>379567225
I think he's talking about elimination or some other short game mode, no way he's only getting 5-6k from regular matches unless he's really shit/good

It's like it's the law now that if you're a new character you directly counter McCree. His ult can be stopped by half the cast, and Mercy will ALWAYS be alive to rez everyone and get PotG from your dumb shit.

He's like TF2 Ambassador Spy with no cloak.

SO which game mode gives the most XP? People tell me quick is the way to go because mach end bonuses are more frequent but I keep hearing about total mayhem.

>flashbang wears off before the throw animation even finishes

>>379570882
been getting about 7k xp a game in quick. its pretty good

>>379570882
I think its still QP, arcades modes have their xp gains nerfed and competitive takes too long

nah I just can't play that game anymore it's just so damn boring

>>379570975
>Symm can catch up with you after you flash her to finish the job
WHAT THE FUCK.

>>379568752
Quick play literally only exists for shit scrubs to "practice" "hard to play" DPS heroes.

Every single game will have genji, hanzo, widow, and then tracer or mcree.

This is the problem with the existence of competitive mode, competitive mode becomes the default for "sort of actually trying to win" while normal mode becomes not that.

>>379567112
I don't care, I'm playing R6 Siege. Enjoying it far more than I ever did Overwatch, even if my scrubbiness does make me (and others) mad sometimes.

why does this game even have healers, they're boring to play and only subhuman, trap-loving degenerates like them

Blizzard is gay with this Tank/Healer/DPS shit

>>379570975
I don't know what version of the game you're playing but a point blank flashbang the hammer will still kill any non-tank, he's literally the only counter to tracer since she can kill winston by just teleporting backwards away from him, and he's a far better counter to pharah since it's easier to land 4 shots from the revolver then it is to track her with s76 long enough to kill her.

>>379568752
6 dps is the quickplay meta, sometimes you are lucky enough to have 1 healer and 1 tank

>>379571000
literally how. QP caps out at around 2.3k with 4 golds not counting first win of the day bonus.

What's the fastest gamemode to get exp in? Just pure exp/time.

>>379569019
I think exp is proportional to time for any match.

All the shitters decided to come back and ruin my games

you can do more than twice arcade matches by the time it takes a ranked match to finish.
in fact, exp bonus also covers the win/medal/consecutive/etc bonuses you'd be better off playing shorter matches.

>>379572386
It's in the main client now?

>>379571050
>arcades modes have their xp gains nerfed
That was reverted a long time ago. Its standard exp for arcade

>>379572774
didn't they remove headshots from fth?
or was it something else

So i was playing 1v1 and the shithead left and i got a quarter of the usual xp, even with the xp buff, is that fucking normal or what. Ended with like 1000xp, even though you get 1000xp by being the winner.

>>379567112
XP?
Back in my day paying for the game meant you paid for the whole damn game, you didn't need to grind to unlock crap

>>379573032
Shouldn't make a difference except that the match was shorter and xp is only based on time played.

>>379573084

people literally play games to they can unlock stupid cosmetics for their stupid waifus and the jews are more than happy to oblige

people are mentally ill

blizzard have absolutely no dedication to keeping the game fresh, they don't seem to realize that maps are all that keep a mechanically-bare-bones game like this going

Pharah is the most fun in this game. Until the enemy team starts countering her and are competent at it. Always fun to bully shitty Widows as Pharah

>>379573747
moderately, but mostly on the west coast during korean peak hours
its likely more just that widow is overpowered when your team isnt perfectly synchronized
you dont need to be good at the game to be good at a character who outranges the entire cast and one shots 80% of it

>>379573747
Theres some McCree's and Tracers here and there with Aimlocks that give them absolutely insane lockon reaction time.

Kind of easy to find out tho, just check the kill cam and watch if the cursor snaps into your neck and if it snaps perfectly or does a bit of movement.

If it just snaps for 1 second without leaving your neck then its an aimlock.

>>379571774
Aim, and blink annoyingly.

literally how i feel as someone who also got too sick and tired of league after like 4k hours, i played for a good 30 hours during open beta and that was some of the most fun i've ever had with a game.

i don't think the game can be blamed too much for me burning out considering i played a pretty ridiculous amount, probably at around 600 hours now, but its difficult to enjoy as a casual shooter because the mechanics are shallow and rarely satisfying due to the emphasis on team play, and the competitive e-sport aspect is also frustrating due to communication and team work trumping personal performance

i still remember diablo II

i still remember brood war and lord of destruction, back when blizzard knew how to release new content that was high quality and had a real impact
now they just release heroes in overwatch who make no impact on the game whatsoever, except ana who literally only became high tier because she was a second pure healer

>>379567112

How to tell someone is missing on that group bonus. Just invite your friends

>>379567604
The best way to play ctf is to get 2 caps and grab the third flag and just have your friends defend/heal you. The tears come rolling in every time
>people on enemy team leave
>team mates whine
>people say we're gunna get banned we've been doing this since december when ctf was released not even a warning because honestly its not a big deal

>>379574324
funny enough, i'm pretty sure it's overwatch's MOBA influences that are fucking it over in the long term. MOBAs release nothing but new heroes, never new maps, and so blizzard are trying to pull the same shit.
except they refuse to acknowledge that every single character in those MOBAs is BUILT for that one singular map, which is why that formula works.

when your game has 14 maps, you can't just make up a new hero and release them as if they're going to work perfectly fine.
sombra has no fucking place in this game, stealth makes no sense when every map is based around chokepoints that both teams spam through at all times.

new maps are the most impactful change that they can make on the game, but they sold the game on the heroes, so that's their main focus i guess, even though releasing half-baked heroes doesn't freshen up the game in the slightest.

>>379572909
This is the truth if youre too dumb for it to be obvious. The gold medal, consecutive game, and win bonuses are whats going to get you the most exp. Getting them over and over is the fastest way to get boxes for your precious skins
