What is genuinely wrong with the losers who do nothing but insult their teammates? It's constantly happening, every time it happens I kinda make them mad by alerting the other team that they have turned my teammate into a mess The best was this terrible Genji who kept verbally attacking other members of the team. I then pointed out that their Genji was absolutely destroying him and he shut up immediately

So glad they're bringing back tiers; I've been raving about it since the start of S1 with whole numbers being so boring imo

[QUOTE=Sweater;50890013][video=youtube;Nqh8tnHhIjg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqh8tnHhIjg[/video][/QUOTE] They are literally going back to the old competitive system that everyone said was shit but it has a new coat of paint.

Still would have prefered Stop Watch to this Time Bank shit, but this is better at least.

I wonder if loses will give comp points too, what makes losing in comp shit is that even if you had a really fucking close match, you get a rank loss AND no points, just a bigass waste of time.

[QUOTE=Ax3l;50890204]I understand why they would do this, but it's really stupid that they didn't just tie this to the max reached rank instead.[/QUOTE] I consider it a necessary evil. Besides Quickplay always exists.

I think the problem is that you can't drop out of tiers once you reach them, aka if you get a shitty teammate who plays a ton and goes up a tier even though he can't logically compete, you're fucked. Or is there some type of MMR system that keeps this from happening?

[QUOTE=usaokay;50890096]tl;dw (copy pasta from Reddit) - Ranks are 1-5000 to allow for incremental changes better - Tiers around skill ratings (About 7 tiers: bronze, silver, gold) cover roughly 500~ skill ratings each - You can't drop out of certain tiers except the top two (Master and Grand Master) - End of season rewards based on the tier you reached - Competitive points are now multiplied by 10, golden guns cost 10x more to accomodate for ties - Coin toss is going away as well as Sudden Death: Assault maps still use time-bank, but after initial first-round capture of point A will always give a bonus 30 seconds; 2 minutes of bonus time is now 1 minute of bonus time - Bonus time is granted evenly to both teams now for fair-play. - Time bank system is coming to payload: if you push all the way and still have time you have the remaining time to try to push as far as you can - If nobody pushes the cart on payload or if no point A is captured on hybrids, the game ends in a tie. - Ties award both teams competitive points. - You can only party with friends within 500 skill rating of each you.[/QUOTE] Still no sign of your own performance influencing your skill rating... so it's still winning/losing that matters in the end. Sucks for soloqueues.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;50888598]Those count? Fuck.[/QUOTE] [I]You gotta be fucking kidding.[/I] Well it was fun while it lasted. Let's hope at least Blizzard steps it up with the fixes and balance instead of waiting weeks just to make a few changes.

[QUOTE=Oizen;50890210]I consider it a necessary evil. Besides Quickplay always exists.[/QUOTE] Forcing groups of friends into Quickplay is not a justification to an otherwise easily fixed issue.
