>>388904831
I've never tried ranked, how many matches do I have to win to get placed around Gold?

>>388912203
It's just placements, m8. Get your rank and whatever free points they give at the end of the season, then go back to other modes or even games.

>>388904937
Welp. better play it fast Before all the good players do.

what's the point in trying to 'tilt' someone when the game is already over?

>>388904831
placed right in masters feelsgood.

6-3-1

>got super lucky and have so far won 8 out of 8 matches

I think I'll main mercy so no one figures out I don't belong

>>388904831

I'm throwing all of mine

Can't complain about shitters ruining your placements if you are the shitter ruining your placements :^)

I play on PS4 and have my KB+M set up. Ready for GM in no time ;)

>>388912887
doesnt even matter the game puts you right back in the league you were in last season regardless of how good or bad you did in placements

Do people actually care about the rewards?
I got my 3k points for a golden weapon since S2 and never spent them, because all the golden guns look tacky.

I was hoping they would add new ones at some point, but I think they've made it clear that's not happening.

>>388912740
Sounds like it worked?

>>388912791
Don't worry anon placed 9-0-1 and still got 600 SR lower than my previous season meanwhile mercy's with 40% winrates are top 500
fuck

>>388904831
wouldn't know, game got excrutiatingly boring within 20 hours and i haven't played it since.

i feel sorry for people who didn't get to play real fps games and have this instead.

>Playing a ranked mode for a game where you are individually ranked but the only thing that affects skill rating is a win or loss

The success of this game puzzles me.

>>388904831
only won three but placed in diamond.

>>388912147
Brackets don't reset your hidden mmr and no matter how well you do you will still place similar give or take a few points. To remedy this you must smurf duo wins or get a new account and try your hardest in your non ranked games to get a good hidden mmr.

rofl I managed to lose 7/10 and it still put me in masters.

Back to qp till s7 for the next free gold weapon

>>388913034
Honestly this. Fuck at least let me spend comp points to swap out weapons skins from the other skins

>People are still actually playing this trash heap

I'd rather die than be in that state in all honesty. What would even be the point of living if I'm not aware of what I'm doing?

>>388914296
That would honestly be a clever reward that I could get behind. There are some really nice skins with weapon skins I don't like, so the option would be appreciated.

>>388913034
I'm still saving comp points in case new guns happen, they designed the menus to make it easy for them to implement.

>>388912740
Because maybe just maybe you will the taunted player might commit suicide.

>>388914787
Jeff has gone on record saying that he regrets implementing any rewards for Competitive, so I'm mostly basing my thoughts on that, but who knows what they'll decide to do.

>>388914979
well ruining the look of the game right out of the gate with gold guns was stupid, the best thing they could do now is make actual weapon skins as comp rewards so people won't use gold anymore.

Only have done 2 so far. 1 draw, 1 win. Been playing a bunch of quick play to try and start learning stuff other than healing and tanking, and now realize there is nothing fun about competitive mode at all. And if I'm not playing Sombra, there's little that's fun about QP. I don't know if I would ever play a damage dealer in comp, anyways. You guys get all the blame when "shit's not dying" (every Mercy main's favorite line), when oftentimes it's because you guys aren't being set up right to safely take out targets. Bad tanking and healing are often to blame, too. Besides, I would want to play Sombra and I don't want to constantly be told to kill myself or have my games thrown because some retard hasn't seen her in whatever IDDQD or Seagull streams they masturbate to

>reset rank every month
>Even when there's been literally no balance changes in the previous month so you should be the exact same rank.
Why does Blizzard do this?

>>388904831
Id usually win 7 or 8 out of 10, and it literally never ever fucking mattered. Fuck Blowverwatch

>>388913034
This.
Literally the only good looking golden weapon is Zenyatta's.
Genji's is debatable, the rest look like garbage, like all golden weapons in literally every single game ever made.

>>388913650
Why? Blizzard gives higher ranks to people who buy loot boxes or something? Or have streams? For real, it's a team game that makes players rely on their teammates, and yet some jackass that can't even win half of their games gets placed high for what possible reason? Medals? Can't be that. The medals I consistently get on Lucio should have me well out of platinum placements then, not to mention environmental kills and weapon accuracy for his stupid gun, defensive assists, total healing, and sound barriers. People say it's based on individual performance, but they can't pinpoint how. Not sure why they believe blizzard. OW is shady.

>>388917220
>yet some jackass that can't even win half of their games
Surprise surprise, winning matches in a team based game doesn't hinge on the performance of any one individual, but the team as a whole.

I'm not sure if he can make it anymore clear for you to understand, so here's a (you)

>>388904831
I only did three placements. Lost the one I was forced to play tank. Won the one I got to play Doomfist for a bit before being forced to Ana where we were close to losing. Lost one because the enemy had Pharah and Zarya and an idiot on my team really wanted to play Junkrat

No one can force you to do anything you don't want to do, LEAST OF ALL in a fucking online video game where you've probably never even met the guy "forcing" you.
Jesus, you fucking betas.

I've had this game a year and I only play the tdm mode lately, I normally play the arcade modes. Am I missing anything by not playing ranked. I can't stomach ranked after csgo and barely manage to In siege but that's just because the games are over too quickly in casual.

interesting you say this when his post forced you to become an unreasonably upset whiny bitch

So wait. Are you saying that every single rank reset was alongside a balance change?
I am pretty sure that's not true.

just played mercy in a placement a few hours ago. she's still the same.
