I love Pharah!
>enemy team has the level advantage every single game
This is so fucking dumb. I wouldn't mind too much, but my team almost always has level 30s while the enemy's is 70+
What does this icon next to my level mean?First placement match and we got rolled that match btw.
>tfw win first rated match with the meme team Lucio and Mercy
>tfw win the second match because someone on the other team was afk the whole time
Reminder that your low rank is not your team's fault. It is your fault.
wew lads i was at the airport playing overwatch to pass time, seems like isis' junkrat was a scrub
>>146913573
But anon levels don't mean anything :^)
>Just wrecked a team with a D.va in comp with my 76
Feels good.
Thanks for the free ults charge, you D.va trash.
>Wanting Mercy nerfs
Mercy did nothing wrong.
>>146913582
It is supposed to mean you're ranked in the top 500 but blizzard said it was bugged or something
I lost 3 in a row
Feels pretty bad man
>Hold beta for competitive mode
>Release it without making any changes based on player feedback
cool
D. Va is so cute
>Comp for consoles next weekHopefully my mom forgives me for lying about my college classes by then.
Has anyone shit talked you yet?
Either from someone on your team or the enemy?
>mfw I finally try out Junkrat and realize how much fun he is
>competitive play
What's the point?
>>146913732
I know, right? Lucio is way better..
>Sudden death
Holy fuck, remove this shit. Ties should be resolved in equal conditions.
I LOVE being retarded!
Anyway how's everyone's placement match stats so far?
>>146913732
her ult needs to charge 25% slower, that's about it.
>Forced 50 isn't real
anyone else still playing quick play? fuck ranked for now if the leave system is bugged

Man, I know I really shouldn't care, but that got to me for some reason. At least someone appreciated my rocket surgery.
>>146913849
What is it
Never touched comp yet
>>146913879
>if I keep winning matches, the game makes me play against better players! forced 50!
I don't even have words for this
why do people get mad at me for playing how I want to play in placement matches? If you get placed with me after this, you're just as bad as me.
>team is completely unable to stop even the most pedestrian of pushes
>unable to break even the most basic chokes
MAKE IT STOP
i SHOULDN'T BE GETTING GOLD IN EVERYTHING BUT HEALING AS ZARYA
>>146913969
Explain to me how can the game tell who's the better player in fucking placement matches.
i like how I win all the time in quick play and then lose on ranked because i get paired with idiots
>>146913963
It's a third match that decides the winner if the first two rounds went 1:1 (or, well, 3:3). So far I've only been on payload maps, and there it works like this: a coin is flipped to decide the attacker, after which they have 60 seconds to push it to a certain point.
Junkrat buffs when?
>>146913830
golden guns and a rank to stroke your epeen
and bad people don't have the excuse of "whatever, it's just quick play"

Am I bad or could it just be shit luck with teammates?
>>146913963
Warioware rules
Both teams compete with time left on counter until someone finally loses
Threadly reminder to report D.va shitters in comp. Help combat the D.va scourge.
>>146914024
you realize you don't exclusively play with people in placement matches when you're doing your placements, right?
>No one standing on the point at level 60 which means they've been playing for over 50 hours.
>Still being matched with these people.
It's because my win rate has breached 60% on the solo queue. I refuse to let it dip. I'll leave as many games as I need to Blizzard.
>>146914114
>...and why is it absolutely irrelevant in ranked as your starting ranked MMR is decided via placement matches
>>146913630
They do up to a certain point. I'd say around 80+ is when they stop mattering
is mm intentionally shit? every game the low ranks on 1 team and the high ranks on the other.
>>146912830
lmao sure alright. I was using it to make a point but if your head is really that far up your ass you can take it as a literal comparison between the two.
How about the more important comparison between Mercy and Lucio? Mercy not only outheals him but she can damage boost (albeit for not as much as Discord), she has more health, she can fly to her teammates if she gets ambushed by Winston and her ult is near-objectively one of the most powerful in the game.
Or Lucio, who is almost a free win on KOTH maps. He can only heal as fast as Zen when he uses his E but he provides healing to everyone even near him, including himself, without having to focus any energy on them. He can also speed people back to the objective, he can knock people off of edges on maps like Lijiang and Nepal, he has unreal mobility that lets him get places most of the cast can't and his ult is all but invulnerability against burst damage like Junk's ult for a few seconds.
Why would anyone pick Zenyatta over those two in his current state? He's fun and he does a lot of damage but between his lackluster ult (have fun surviving burst damage lmao), his weaker healing and his abysmal survivability he has no place in most games where anyone knows what they're doing.
Keep talking about nuance just for the sake of being a smug dick, though. I bet it wins you a lot of matches.
Explain why Blizzard shouldn't just remove Hanzo from the game.
>>146913797
Yeah, it's dumb, but I can sorta understand why they did it. I mean, it's still better than no update at all. And this first season is shorter too, so when the fall season starts, we'll have a proper gamemode up.
>>146914159
You can't report anyone. None of the categories fit.
>competitive
>nobody knows how to handle Bastion
>nobody knows how to stop a turret

What was the fucking point? I thought it was supposed to be people who had the goddamned basics down.
>>146914270
hes fun
>>146914270
the weeaboo crowd will stop playing their game
>>146914192
competitive uses your quickplay MMR during placements
did you think they would just place 12 totally random players together and see what happens?
>>146914145
Just see where you end up at the end of the season. Enough matches will give you an idea of where you stand.
And I'm done. Went 7-3, all solo queued. Fairly content about it apart from one game where I should've carried but choked.
>>146914314
Quick, how do you handle bastion?
>Now entering King's Row...
Thank god, this map is one of the few good ones
>SKIRMISH
>real map is Anubis
>>146914314
what made you think it would be any different than quick play, its literally the exact same people except for people who are new to the game, which above level 30 you didn't queue with anyway

>>146914438
Shoot him till he dies.
So are comp placement entirely dependent on how many wins you got?
>>146914314

Forced 50 is real but only because the map design is one-sided as fuck.
>>146914314
Everyone is trying it out now. If you wait awhile, things will get clearler.
Or atleast the matches I played on PTR were definitely an improvement to random casual matches. (Not all of them, but on average.)
>>146914519

I just played a game of comp against fucking Jammku. He mained Torb the whole game, both attack and defend on Anubis.
And he lost hard.
Kill yourself, Jammku.

junkrat is the most frustrating character in the game and i despise people that play him. he needs a small nerf, like his grenades not exploding on impact after bouncing or taking damage from conc mine himself
>>146914825
You mean THE pro gamer extraordinaire Jammku?
>>146914438
Soldier, shove a helix rocket down his throat, drop heal, pop back around corner and put a couple of bullets in him regardless of him trying to flee, repair or shoot you
OR
Go Genji, press E (Only if Bastion is retarded, but all Bastion players are retarded so moot point)
OR
Pharah, see Soldier but with less ability usage but more risk
OR
Have Zarya shield Rein and charge
OR
If you've just got Rein use shield to walk into a flanking route, then blindside charge him
>>146913818
After defending KR without them even taking the first one I bullied them. Then we also failed miserably and lost because lololol sudden death

Am I the only one who dislikes Gibraltar? Playing on offense always feels stressful and long, and whenever I play defensive I always get rolled on
>>146914865
Nobody is forcing you to play each character equally. You can learn a lot in ~5 hours per character, if you play one character from offense/defense-tank-support.
>played 6 competitive games
>having a good time so far
how did Blizzard do it
In the 8 matches that I have played, not a single Hanzo was seen, only godlike genjis.
>>146914901

Type gg ez at the end just to feel slightly better.
>>146915031
>You can learn a lot in ~5 hours per character
No.
It takes at least 30 hours to be comfortable with any character. 50 if you want to be competitive.
>>146914947
The one and only, #1 Attack Torb in NA. Jammku.
What do you get after completing 10 comp matches ?
just woke up
how many placement matches do I have to play?
how do I into ranks? (which one is good and bad?)
>>146915062
I've only seen Hanzo that can headshot people while moving spinning in circles and shooting arrows randomly.
tfw 5 placement matches in and 2 losses were from truly irredeemable team mates
tfw I'll never be rank 90 even if I have reasonably competent team mates who aren't literally too dumb and Hanzo inclined to be carried
What's longest you've been on fire?
I got nearly ten minutes once.
Roadhog is the best way to blow off steam. Just hooking and killing them little guys is awesome.
No one is going to post their progress?
Feels good to clutch a win having only 3 min to push and 8 to defend
>>146914314
You can get to level 25 in less than 10 hours of solo queuing. Don't sound so shocked.

>>146914250

>>146915140
You don't need to spend 30 hours to learn a character after you've grasped the basics of gameplay. And you don't need to be comfortable playing any character, just any role.
>Group with friends because i like them
>Know they're worse than me but i've enjoyed carrying them in pubs
3 losses so far, with 3 golds every game
anyone else burdened by friends?
Anyone placed yet? 2 for 2 so far, afraid it won't last and I'll discover I'm actually a shitter
>>146914343
And that's what Genji is for.
>>146915191

3rd is my favorite, don't understand why the fuck blizzard would make such a bitchy, irritating character their cover but holy shit do I want to fucking rip her throat out and curb stomp her.
Creating a character that emulates lag, is small, and is bitchy with her OHK ult is so fucking annoying, she doesn't even need to aim either
Is there a difference between solo and party MMR or doesn't it matter whether you're in a stack or not?
*explain the competitive system to me, anons
is it going to be like the Starcraft/Arena mmr setup in other Blizz games? Is it going to be an individual or team-based thing?

keep your shit opinions to yourself, no wonder you keep losing
>>146914825
who
2-6 on placements so far. Both wins were by a hair, had 2 losses by a hair, and in two games, we had people leave early on and it was basically 5v6 or 4v6 to the end. You can leave without a penalty, but...you eat the placement loss anyway. Fuck. I am prepared for MMR hell. I hope individual performance is heavily weighted overall wins and losses cause I've been on fire 60%+ every game. We'll see I guess.
I'm gonna choose Symmetra on offense in ranked guys
>5 placement losses
>2 because of player on my team dropped while we were winning

>shit fucking stats for a main

The only one that gets me is when I have to say that I'm playing well and they're being a faggot, but whip out the "LOL I'm not mad I won!" because Soldier can't carry a fucking game for shit, no matter how well you play. Feels bad.

>>146915887
At least on defense, yes. On attack it's situational.
>>146914393
isn't 60 low for going 7-3?
so pharah is the absolute best hero in the game by a mile
How do you think I'm doing so far?
I've been trying to get better at Tracer and Genji, and had some pretty okay results with Tracer, but with Genji it doesn't look good at all.
>>146915764
>Soldier can't carry a fucking game for shit, no matter how well you play.
Soldier 76 and Zarya are the only heores in the game that can carry a 1v6.
Clearly you're not as good at soldier as you think you are and should go back to black ops 4

Considering winning is the only thing that significantly changes your placement rank or your ranked score at all, it feels pointless playing shit like S76/Pharah/McCree when all they do is make the enemy's health squisher. Not actual game-winning heroes.
>play first placement match
>dominate, get praised by two people on my team in voice chat

Why, familia
>>146915771
I was 44 in the ptr
didnt play it in real server yet
>>146915981
i'll bite
what makes you say this
LET ME OUT OF THIS MATCH
>>146916129
>>146915597
Your mistake is thinking i'm just in it for the vidya, i'm actually in it to try and start a house fire
does team and solo have 2 different ranked mmr's or are shitties going to be able to get carried beyond their skill level
>>146915983
Genji is meant to harass the other team with his shurikens (which actually deal quite a lot of damage if all of them hit). If you get damaged while trying to flank, don't take that as an sign to go in guns blazing. Escape. Also deflect is really effective against snipers, Soldier 76, and McCree.

Wait, what's wrong with playing on console? I know the updates are slower to come out. But got damn am I still enjoying the McCree shitposting while it lasts.
>>146916243
He's my second most used hero, fucking love the manlet.
So Rein/Road + Zarya is a must in ranked now right?
>>146915539
only done one match, but expected it be shit just like quick play
dear god it was glorious. fucking lijang but who the hell cares PEOPLE ACTUALLY STOOD ON THE POINT
kinda touch and go after the first round, hell we went for five rounds, but we won and it was awesome
>>146915975
I don't think so. Like >>146914910 said, 9-1 lead to 67 for ster.
>team average
AHAHAHA FUCK YOU BLIZZARD YOU RETARDED PIECES OF SHIT
>>146916183
I don't want to talk in quick play, so I usually ask people if they're alright with me not talking before I group up.
Worked fine so far.
has anyone lost every ranked match? please let there be someone else.

ranked was the best addition to this game
>>146916469
I specifically tried to add people who said they wanted to use their mic
Why do you only talk in comp?
>>146916342
My point is that sub 50 at the end of placement means you are worse for your team than simply flipping a coin.
Statistically you are the reason you're losing, if you're sub 50. And this thread, full of people talking big, is full of sub-50s.
I've had nothing but defeat matches for the past 3 days.
I don't think I can work up the strength to try competitive.
>>146915258
I hold for as long as I can, but they just keep dying, I had an average charge of ~70% but they would just die and die and die and die and die.
>never get potgs that i'm proud of
>start playing reinhardt
>potgs on the reg
woah
>>146915997
No. Soldier can only carry if the enemy team doesn't insist on countering my ult every time. And even if the enemy team does use 2-3 ults for me alone, it's never enough space for my team to take the wheel.
High burst damage is what carries in this game from my experience, and Soldier doesn't have that. He's just there to soften shit up for his gankers. If there's a Zenyatta on my team then that's a different story.
>>146916175
If this is actually true, maybe I'll solo queue tomorrow. One of my favorite past times between working and college back then was bullying F2Ps in TF2 Valve servers, and I want to make myself at home doing the same in OW.

>calls them "premades"
yeah nah you're the problem
>>146916534
I don't talk in comp, either, but if there is no avoiding it, I'm going to do it, since lack of communication means my whole team is going to take a hit to their rank.
I just don't like talking in general, mostly because I'm not used to it and English isn't my first language, so I don't want to torture people with my accent.
>>146916473

>>146915810
>Temple of Anubis

>Still get shit teams in competitive but enemies are good enough to recognize and prioritize the only threat.
guys i don't know what to do...I can't even play when the entire enemy team can just sit on their ults to pop as soon as they see me. There's literally no possible counter play to being targeted by 2+ ults on sight while your team endlessly feeds them.
>>146916683
>He calls them stacks

>High burst damage is what carries in this game from my experience, and Soldier doesn't have that.
then you're either;
-not hitting headshots
-not hitting at all
-not using helix rockets to burst people
you're trash and soldier 76 is your best hero? you need to go back to console games kiddy
>>146916473
I'm sure there's SOMEONE out there, anon.
But obviously they don't post here. These threads are only for the cool motherfuckers.

So not talking then. Good to know.
>>146917058
He was crushing people on Pharah for the majority of those games
however I think that the rating system is pretty accurate because everyone thinks they are above-average, and above-average would be a 70+ to them (by that type of logic)
>>146917114
>Gold at 12 elims, 2 objective elims
>Gold at just 5.6K damage
How the fuck did you win when you were the only person on your team?
>>146917004
no one is getting past 80
you'd have to win 50 times against an enemy team ranked 79 to get to 81 and if you lost once you'd go down to 78
Highest rank = 80
Most common lowest rank = 30
Conclusion? Forced 50.
god I hate browsing /vg/ threads about multiplayer games

Someone already made an actual well drawn comic about this, but I can't for the life of me find it.
why did i join this premade
tfw guy on your team bitches so much about the enemy teamrunning coordinated 2Zarya, Lucio, Mei, Jankrat, and soldierthat he goes into "get my money back from blizzard" territory and quits out.
That was a really bad loss but I laughed pretty hard. And this is only day 1 of competitive.
Can you leave in the first 20 seconds before a match starts like in quick play? or will ranked give you the penalty for that?

They talked about the system taking several stats in account, like your level, levels of your teammates, levels of your opponents, game stats (time, side, etc.), your personal stats, stuff like that. There was also something about medals affecting rank, but I'm not sure whether it applies to placement matches.

Nope.
You can do all the math you'd like. Isn't how it works, there's splash damage or range or something, you don't deal 150 with flash / headshot at 5-10~ feet.
Flash bang -> DINK headshot -> warp away
>>146917972
You always lose if another guy on your team leaves. You just don't get a penalty for leaving yourself.
Famalam do any of y'all play on toasters?
2.8 dual core ,e5500 I think
780ti (ya lol)
8gb ram
Think I can run it smoothly?
>>146917338
You get cooldown penalty for leaving during setup
Enjoy your Hanzos
>>146917868
What? You thought he missed, he thought he hit. It favors the shooter.
Wtf is this white and yellow icon?
Anyone know if score/min matters in competitive rank? Like if it does just play lucio, he has the highest average score per minute in the game according to masteroverwatch.
>>146917972
It is counted as a loss. Several players complained about the wording during PTR, but Blizzard didn't change it for some reason.
"No penalty" is supposed to mean "you can immediately join another match".
>>146918146
Flash = 25 damage, headshot = 140 damage, damage falloff starts at 18 meters. She should've been dead, unless one of you was terribly lagging.
What's the point of D.Va? What's she good for?
>>146918146
flash bang 25 dmg headshot 140 dmg
you can be far enough that falloff kicks in and still kill her with a 125 damage headshot

You will quickly get sorted into your proper skill level, so any advice about playing the game is meaningless. You either know it or you don't.
What I can tell you, is to play your absolute best. Your goal is to win no matter the cost. If that means getting on your knees and sucking your teams dick, that's what you gotta do. If you have to take charge and lead your team, then do it. In Competitive, it actually matters. So step up as hard as you can.

Competitive players are also smart enough to stand behind the rectangle and kill people before they kill you.
I'm also an extremely aggressive Rein player and I'll frequently go Gold or Silver for Elims or Damage Done in addition to nearly always getting Objective Eliminations and actually always getting Objective Time
>>146918774

if you play on american servers you'll probably never see him since they fixed australians getting queued into american servers

I LEFT ALL 10 PLACEMENTS MATCHES HAHA FUCK U GUYS
>>146918793
me dog
I swear I've gone up to five minutes once
Whats the point in even playing competitive? So far whenever my team starts doing poorly, like losing just one objective, they start talking shit on everyoner and go full buttmad calling for each others heads. Even when its not just one person underperforming. Never had these sorts of toxic experiences in quick play even when getting thoroughly rekd.
>>146918939
I mean, dynamic in the sense that my rank can be improved as I improve my play.
>>146918868
Good luck, must be nerve raking
>>146919001
I had a leaver and we won 5v6 in sudden death
>>146918628
.Do you get more points for having a high rank?
How bad am I?
>>146918986
I dunno but the people in my first match seemed to know what they were doing. Both sides steamrolled on attack. It couldn't have just been 11 other random individuals, there mustve been some sorting based on mmr.
>double lucio double roadhog koth
wow hero stacking is so great and fun!! xDD
>>146918808
I went 4-6 in placements and got ranked 48.
I don't know what metrics they used, this feels super lower considering I had such few deaths and huge healing in nearly all of my games.
>>146918868
woah fuck
>>146918986
maybe they did the dota approach and adjust rating to PERFORMANCE aka a bastion picker will go rank 80 going 2 wins 8 losses
It's quite simple guys, if you go 5-5 and get anything other than 50 then it MUST be taking something other than win/loss into account.
That's not to say winning and losing aren't the largest contributor but something else is pushing you up or down too.
>>146919089
That's pretty good.

>All those people who thought winrate correlates to skill
This is my shit right here. /owg/ unequivocally BTFO.
>>146919039
yeah, that's the case. Your placements aren't the end-all-be-all record of your skill, all though they are worth a lot, as they are the systems preliminary measure of where to place you, so they are especially important.
>>146919085
no idea. probably
I cannot into webms but I had a good Zarya ult for once (even got the 5 sucked in achievement) in my first comp placement game so wanted to share.
Poor Reinhardt ate Junkrats death grenades at the end.
>>146918527
Traditionally, Blizzard games are CPU bound
2-8 in the placements. 5 games had leavers to our disadvantage. You eat the loss regardless, even if it's a 4-5v6 to the end. I'm pretty mediocre at the game anyway though (56% WR in quick play at 800 games) so didn't expect to soloqueue well anyway. Placed at 41. I don't deserve much better, but time to grind myself up.
>>146919150
wait
>win 5 games in a row
>lose 4 games in a row
>barely win the 10th game to get a placement of 56
The forced 50 meme is real, holy shit.
>>146919190
Wait, so what is the system for determining your rank based on individual skill? Medals earned or something?
I think all the retarded people came back with the update
Who /top500/ here?
>tfw just played a game agaisnt a zarya, mei, and symmetra
whats the fucking point of playing this game if i cant have fun.
>>146919198
winrate DOES correlate to skill
>>146919198
No, but winrate correlates with getting rank points, according to PTR.
>>146919195
why? i'm not good
>>146918016
Rein, zarya, hog/monkey + mercy + 2 dedicated fraggers is an excellent team comp.
Don't even bother with idiots like that, if he doesn't think Zen is good it's basically him just saying he's bad.

if you're queueing against snowblind your mmr would be pretty high.
>>146919265
I lost 3 games due to leavers and my placement is only 48
something is up
>>146918986
Are people seriously this stupid and think the rank 25 needed to start ranked is so that people 'can get to know the game'? It's there so they have an idea of your rank already. Blizzard already ranked you, they are only showing it to you now.
>>146919190
ranked should have nothing to do with quick play. If it does that is fucking dumb
>>146919359
30% nerf.

Not until mid-late July. Placements are going to be a mess is what I should have said.

>>146919309
it only correlates to a change of skill, if I have 100 mmr and suddenly start to win 55% of my games, it doesnt mean im better than a 50% guy with 500 mmr, only im improving faster than him, relatively at that time. My improvement may plateau way before I reach his skill level.
>>146919272
I'm among the top 500 Symmetra players
>>146919309
>>146919315
No it doesn't. Imagine if the player A is the second best player in the world and plays repeated matches against the best player in the world. We might expect him to have a lower than 50% winrate.
Now imagine if player B is the second worst player in the world , and he plays repeated matches against the worst player in the world. We might expect him to have an above 50% winrate.
Does this mean that player B is better? No.

This is retarded.
>>146919563
Not sure why you're replying to me with "No it doesn't". Yes, it does, losing in ranked pushes you down and winning in ranked pushes you up, with medals slightly affecting the amount of points you get.
>>146919309
not when matchmaking is balancing it, it doesn't
it's the socialism of videogames, everyone has a 50% and they only get more by playing superhumanly better, and worse if they're literally AHK bots
>>146919563
Well yeah but keep in mind Blizzard's match making system pits you against players of your skill level. So player A will always roughly play against players similar to him in ability, meaning the report of his performance can be relied on.
>>146919618

Just be honest.

Yes, 100 divided by 2 equals 50.
>>146919182
Here's your (you)
>>146919668
oh fair enough, after rereading your comment I misunderstood what you meant.
>>146919690
Exactly. The matchmaker places you with and against equally skilled players, such that the outcome of the game is as close to 50% for each side as possible. People with higher winrates does not mean they are more skilled than players with lower winrates, it just means that they are more skilled than the matchmaker thought they were, for example if they are growing as a player and getting better.
>>146918982
they have some connection problems today also everyone is in ranked
>>146919715
Can't really tell if 50 is the average, since Blizzard hasn't told us how it works, but 55 seems to be pretty decent based on what good players on streams and whatnot seem to be getting.
>play competitive in hopes of average competence level going up
>still have to plead with people to switch to a tank and teams still do the "haha you're the last one to pick you have to play support now :))"
this game is just fucked
Everything except server tick is forced 50 in this game.
>>146919494
If you were actually good at the game you'd start to notice a recurring pattern of games where no one on your side was visibly retarded and, because there's at least one good player and 5 others who are at least average or hopefully even better than you, contrasted against the smaller frequency of lost games where players picked multiple of the same character, there was no support for you as tank or vice versa, players were bming in chat while running over and over into Bastion, Hanzo/Genji mains, etc. Given that these players are more often than not overtly present in the games on which you've lost, where the relatively extensive breakdown you receive of your own contribution in simple numbers and, helpfully, how you stack up vs the top three of your team, it's actually extremely easy to notice when bad players have lost you games.
You seem to assume that the people who complain about retards aren't humbly happy when they get a few bronzes and one gold, or a similarly good but not standout array of medals in a winning game.
>>146919853
Oh, ok I thought this was going to be a percentile based system. Thanks for clearing that up.
>half our team has their own Discord and refuses to communicate and the rest just don't talk ever
>three golds including most kills of both types as Lucio (D.Va actually did a good job of objective stalling)
>entire team goes for one chokepoint as Junkrat spams grenades down it and gets free ult
>play of the match is reaper walking straight onto the point and M1'ing everyone to death
>lose 3-0
why did I think it would be any different
Since people are gonna ask:
sub 40 = shit tier
40 - 70 = average tier
70+ = amazing tier
Every single game has been multiple Hanzo/Tracer/Genji on my team. I can't take this, the only decent team I've been paired with for qualifying was my first. Literally every game since then has been a shit show with the enemy winning just because their team has solid composition.

>>146919715
I got 56, so you're probably pretty good.
If my word isn't enough, most above average to good streamers are getting the mid 50s area.
>>146919809
you realize thats how forced 50 works
the game assigns you matches you literally can't win or matches you literally can't lose to keep you at 50 independant of what you do
this became a thing because if you soloqueued into dota and afk/left every game, about half of your match log would still be wins

I erroneously bought into Blizzard's token pixar trailer hype train and was sorely disappointed. What an incredibly shallow experience they've created.
I could understand if it was free, but 40 dollars? 60 for the "origins" editon? For what? What the fuck are you even paying for? Quirky voice acting and hype campaigns?

nice edits senpai
Sub-50 cannot be the average rank because the base starting rank is 50 and it is adjusted up or down from there.
For the majority of people to have sub-50 then that means the majority of matches have been losses for everyone, which obviously can't happen, whenever 6 people lose 6 other people win.
Average is around 50, stop trying to soothe your ego by saying the average is 40 and pretending your 52 is impressive.
Please, please, PLEASE if you are in your placement matches
Do not play the following heroes:
Mei
Hanzo
Symmetra
Torbjorn
Zenyatta
Genji
D.Va
Please, please, PLEASE do not pick these heroes if you haven't yet completed your placement matches! The people you are playing with that don't pick these heroes are whats called "functional human beings" that understand basic logic and awareness levels. If you think you should at any point pick one of these heroes, you are potentially going to bring down the performance of these other "functional human beings" on your team!
If you'd like to know more, you can look up the concept of 'winning' on your internet browser. It's a complicated subject for people who aren't functional, but it is still worth a read!

He's a pretty good Mercy protector
He's huge, so all I have to do is fly behind him with healing stream on and he protects me while murdering the other team
He can also massively self-heal, so he's basically a giant hitbox to hide behind that's super hard to kill
Can there be an option for "Accept longer queue times in favor of never being forced to backfull"

Is ranked based on wins or personal performance
IS THERE A /vg/ TEAM BEING MADE FOR COMPETITIVE?
We need a team. Or multiple teams. We have SO many people posting in this thread it's crazy if we don't group up and play together!
A few requirements for the team would be:
>Must have an account over level 25 (it's a requirement to even play competetive)
>Must be competent in playing at least one hero from each class (offensive, tank, etc)
>Must be able to play at least one core (Mercy) hero
>Must be able to listen to team calls and play the objective
>Must restrain themselves from rage, both in text form or vocally to the team
>Microphone communication preferred
Who would be interested in a /vg/ team?
>>146918509

>>146920467
>first point is always biased towards attackers because they respawn both sooner and closer

It's basically a coin flip to decide the outcome of the match, if you get attack, you win.
>>146920691
Moving down is very easy, moving up is very hard, judging by PTR. People reported having to play ~30 matches to move up in above average ranks.
>>146920731

Unless there's a Bastion or concentrated fire. Then he dies instantly. Then again that's true for any hero.

Why oh why is it that in every game that have ranked mode people just starts to tap into their inner primal retardation and basically ignores every noise of common sense yelling at them? It's like I'm not even asking for a Win at this point. Just some signs that you have some understanding of the current situation and is trying to come up with a solution for it.
God fuck, it's just not worth it. Fuck maining faggots too.

>Implying you have other friends to play with
>>146920329
pretty much. Except more of a "push of war". But you have the idea. Who is attack and who is defense would shift dynamically mid game depending on whos base the payload is currently in. I think that there's some value in that.
I can no longer handle these king of the hill maps with a Junkrat on both teams non stop shooting an objective then suiciding on it to get his martydom off as soon as someone gets on him. There is a reason every pro team is banning every single one of the king of the hill maps because they are bullshit

sabin#2147 my bnet
What did you guys calibrate at?
So how is the ranking score in terms of your skill? I thought it'd be a placement of like Bronze, Silver, Gold, Plat/Diamond but instead it's a number.
100 is obviously a perfect player, 0 is dogshit why even play; So 50 is average right?
>>146921082

Here's a hint, it was before you were being shot and after you realised you were on your fucking own on the point.

>First, we wanted to be upfront and let players know that we won’t be able to release our Competitive Play patch on all platforms at the same time. The patch will be going live on PC today, while PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players can expect it sometime next week. We don’t have an exact date to share, but we can confirm that the patch is going through approvals right now on both platforms.
>We know this isn’t an ideal way to deliver new content, so we’re going to continue to refine our patching processes over the next few months in an effort to sync up our release dates across platforms as closely possible. Although our Battle.net client will always allow us to be more agile on PC, we hope to reach a point where we can release major updates on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 simultaneously.

>>146920621
Roadhog is incredibly good at disrupting people and thus protecting his team
His hook has a fairly low cooldown and acts basically as a stun, it stops the enemy dead for a moment and then pulls them away from whatever it is they're trying to murder i.e. your Mercy for example.
Whole Hog is the definition of NEVER TALK TO ME OR MY WIFE'S HANZO EVER AGAIN because it sends people fucking flying, as well as shredding anyone without a shitload of health or a shield to hide behind. Monkey trouble all over your healer? Oh no, if only there were some way to pin him in a corner for the entire duration of his ult so he can't do shit to them.
Plus: >>146920729
what this nigga said. Roadhog's big and beefy and he gets in the way of shots meant for his healers a lot, plus he has a lot of survivability on his own. He's a good match for Mercy and he works well with Zenyatta too, since Zen doesn't have to be right in there mixing it up with him to keep him alive.

He literally had less than 2 seconds between first seeing the 76 and being dead. And unless the 76 is complete shit, which he obviously wasn't, there's zero chance of you surviving that encounter. You'd be lucky to get two hits off let alone on target before you're dead.

if he wasn't standing still like a retard he wouldn't have died so quickly
if he tried shooting the soldier he might have started dodging and missed a few more shots
if he strafed into the shed with the health he could have survived and still contested the point
if he was actually good he could have gotten 2 or 3 hits on the soldier and taken him down below half hp
maybe if he had stayed alive for longer than 5 seconds his team would walk back and help kill the soldier

Here's what you need to know:
>Get good at the "best" heroes
>Learn how to call for shitter pub teams if you have a mic
>Play the objective - don't be some K/D shitter like in CoD
>Switching heroes is the name of the game. Not after every single death, but if you notice there's someone objectively better than whoever you're playing to fight the enemy, then switch to them
>Leave any game that someone auto-picks a hero called "Hanzo"
Most importantly:
>Team communication is everything. You're a bunch of chickens running around with your dicks chopped off if you can't AT LEAST type in chat what's going on. You could suck ass at the game and get easily a 60%+ winrate JUST by letting your team know what's up over mic.

>>146921709
no.
this is one of the worst possible things.
>>146921760
does it end in rape
Average rank must be 50, it is the rank starting point and for every win, there is an accompanying loss, every loss there is a similar win. The median will always be 50 because there is no draw situation.
SOMEONE ALWAYS WON AND SOMEONE ALWAYS LOST, the average rank is 50.
1st game was a troll symetra, 3rd game was a genji who was playing more chat than the game
rank 57
i carried the shit out of those games too.
>>146921789
If you only play Genji or Symmetra, sure.
>>146920641
The basic red recolor. I've played Hanzo for less than a minute and that was only because I accidentally switched to him instead of someone else.
Not even the guy, but you guys are seriously retarded
>>146921757
Watch the webm, there's no teammates by because they left the point early. There's no teammates in LoS when he first sees the 76
>>146921782
You're still talking about a 2 second window. He tried dodging, maybe he could have pulled out his gun and got a couple shots off. His team is still retarded for completely abandoning the point.
>>146921901

>>146921821
Winston is fucking great. As long as you're not retarded and stay away from Reaper and Roadhog and other face-rapists (Uh, hello, you have a fucking JUMP KEY) then you're golden. You can rape Genji/Tracer/McCree/(insert any hero with under 250HP here) all day long.
Also the bubble shield is handy as fuck, don't diss it
>>146913510
tears
>>146921541
It's also worth pointing out that if you can aim, when you hook a Winston you can kill him from full health in two shots. Rein takes about three, I think.
Basically Roadhog's really, REALLY good at protecting his team's squishier people, he just does it in a more aggressive way than Rein or D.Va do; Rein lays down a shield for them to hide behind and shoot from in safety, D.Va eats projectiles so her team don't get hit, and Roadhog just tries to murder the shit out of anything that comes near his support team.

>>146921990
Winston can be great at jumping around and dropping shield bubbles, which i agree are really nice, but he does no fucking damage. If you're playing anyone with any health at all you can just stand there and he does nothing, especially if you have a healer anywhere near you.

Literally his only option was to turn around and run to his team, even then there's a 50% chance he probably won't make it.
Stop acting like you'd do better under the circumstances, because you'd probably panic and try to dodge like he did.

Winston's job is to land behind the enemy and beat the shit out of their mercy while screaming AGROOHA so the enemy all freak out and turn around to shoot the fuck out of him and meanwhile your team murders them/pushes the payload/caps the point.
He's not really supposed to be murdering anyone apart from the odd Hanzo or Widowmaker, he's just meant to be being FUCKING ANNOYING and making the enemy waste a lot of time and effort trying to take him out, much like Tracer.
I did solo queue, went 6-4, got rank 53. Admittedly that's not a great record, but I got 16.7k average damage. I thought Blizzard said personal stats also mattered, if it does the impact is abyssal. I guess 10 matches represents too much variance and you need to play more to achieve an actual good rank. Anyone else with a similar record?

i'd either follow my team or have my pistol out and be looking around in case i got ganked
my aim with mercy's pistol is fine and i would have been able to solo a soldier that didn't even fire helix rockets
he only looks good because mercy was standing still

Yes, but the fact that you heard it means he was on your team, which is good if he is so strong

Not to say anything about the game itself, but it is a meme. Saying it's not a meme doesn't make it any less of a meme.

Alright, overwatch sucks today too. Losing to Tjorbjorn on payload is the worst. I switched to Junkrat and accomplished fuck all because they had everyone on the load. Mei, Rein, Genji, Tjorbjorn, Lucio...
It is so cheesy and I know it is counterable, but fuck, I am not good enough to do it.

Honestly it really rustles my jimmies when people say this seriously. Obviously higher levels are gonna mean something when you're a team of 30-50s up against people in the mid 100's. They're obviously players who've committed a lot more time to the game and, on average, are gonna be better at it than most players below their level. That doesn't mean I haven't seen my fair share of 100+ players who were complete shitters

What is this strat? Also, why would your own team hate you for it?
mei is hindering our team with icewalls the whole match in competitive. 1 player is ruining the placement matches of 12 people. how can we fix this

Should I just give up now? This is infuriating
Why are you faggots hating on D.VA so hard? I literally wreck shit with her and get golds all the time.
>flank instantly on attack
>distract entire team
>kill one of them
>put energy shield up
>my team finally gets to the point and kills remaining
I usually get my mech destroyed and pick one off from behind a corner before doing all of the above over again
Not only that but I can knock stupid ass pharah out of the sky and ruin Widow's/Torb's/Bastion's life.
If they ever buff her shotguns I'll have golds in elims every match.
>>146913868
Her ult won't get nerfed because it's too fucking easy to fuck it up. Even in a situation where it's tactically "perfect" to use the ult, it's fairly likely that your teammates will just fuck off and get killed again instead of learning.
Her ult is too reliant on everyone in the equation not being retarded and the enemy letting you get it off.
Wtf is the point of D.VA's ult? Unless you have Mei or Lesbian Dyke on your team, people literally just walk away and stand behind a box for safety.
I haven't had more than 2 kills with it since the first couple weeks.
>>146925465
She does literally no damage and ult is beyond useless.
>>146925465
D.Va is pretty fun, but Reinhart fucks her shit up the second he remembers he has a dash, which I'm pretty sure would still be true even if they fixed that stupid bug. She's also REALLY weak to basically anything being behind her. If she ejects into a corner or enemy, she's as good as dead. You also need to be really aware of basically everything on the map while not in the robot, because you're fragile as shit.
On the upside, her E is silly and completely ignores a lot of stuff, her dash is really good for flanking and maneuvering around enemies (and dealing with Widows), and because of how the robot works, if you're capable of playing keepaway, you can easily rack up 5+ Killstreaks.
Her ult needs to charge faster and her cannons could use a minor buff, but otherwise she feels fairly promising.
>>146925764
I always seem to get a good amount with her... my average is K:D is 15:5. Besides, thats not really the point of her. She IS a tank...
Maybe people are stupid and expect to get kills from 50 feet away. I literally just land next to people and shoot the shit out of them before they know what happened.
Did I fuck up playing Lucio in my placements?
Everyone is saying they went 5-5 but got a lot of gold medals so they ended up in the high 50's, I did the same with golds in healing and objective time but ended at 40.

The game we "lost" was because someone left and it told us we could leave without a penalty. So we did. That might be a factor other than that I seems random. Now I'm 18-6 at rank 50 something.
