[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;51763585]I'm not saying that forced 50:50 winrate is a thing, but if Blizzard said it was I wouldn't be surprised.[/QUOTE]
How the fuck is it fair for you to win more than 50% of your matches anyway.
Every time you win someone else loses.
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;51765373]In a weird way this does create an appeal to actually go in to an unpopulated game and roam around looking at the environments, but yeah, a lot of random unnecessary stuff thrown in to every map :v:[/QUOTE]
honestly it feels like that area was supposed to lead into the building just past the main choke, but heavens forbid there be more than one way to get to the objective
Honestly I am starting to lose all faith in Overwatch. When I bought it I bought it with the expectation that it would be a well maintained competitive game, but it's simply not happening. The game gets a lot of updates but very little balance, and when they do balance something, it's often the wrong thing in wrong amounts.
The game also gets hit really hard by the "once it's in the game it can't be removed syndrome", which is characteristical of Blizzard from what I could see.

Also let's not forget how every new addition to the game with the exception of Junkenstein and Oasis was horribly unbalanced
[QUOTE=Zeos;51762437]Man, I just had a match that pissed me off more than I thought possible. Immediately, within like a minute of the game beginning, I was yelled at for 'throwing the game' because "GET ON TEAM ZEOS"
I had no fucking clue what he meant and he kept yelling at me saying "TEAM NOW TEAM NOW TEAM NOW"
What he apparently meant was Team Voice. That actually made me turn off team chat altogether because he basically kept calling me a retard. I'm bad, I know, but holy shit fuck off.[/QUOTE]
People get so anal about joining team chat, it's ridiculous.
Personally I just set all my voice chat volumes to 0 and join it just so they stop whining about it. :v:
I'd bother to actually use voice chat more if there weren't people out there with anger issues/terrible mics/annoying voices, because the last thing I want to hear when I play overwatch is some 14 year old yelling "REAPER LEFT REAPER LEFT" over and over.
Being able to mute chat and voice chat does fucking wonders.
No longer do I have to hear people bitch because I like to play Tracer.

I think this is the worst advice I've seen in these threads yet.

Geoff is that you?
There's something mildly amusing\irritating rewatching the CTF Developer video.
Something about "But it wouldn't Overwatch" to "so let's just put it in Brawl" as it's some sort of a valid excuse.

How the fuck did I get gold, I lost every placement match

Yeh sounds like gold
[QUOTE=Zeos;51765966]How the fuck did I get gold, I lost every placement match[/QUOTE]
In terms of how you place in season 3, its weighted by:
-Ending place in season 2
-Personal Preformance during the match
win/losses are pretty much irrelevant.

This is physically painful to read
I've only used Genji for less than an hour and didn't want to tell Cruto any advice, but when no one was replying to him I kinda felt like throwing him a tip I thought was good because I didn't want him walking away feeling ignored. I guess I shouldn't have given him what appears to be shitty advice without doing some basic research. My bad.
I got 2+ golds (usually Elims and DMG) in every placement match
I won all except one of my placement matches
I ended last season mid plat
I got placed low gold
[QUOTE=Zeos;51765966]How the fuck did I get gold, I lost every placement match[/QUOTE]
S1: Around 53, only done 2 more comp matches which ended up losing
S2: Placement gave me start of Plat around 2505 or so. Didn't do any other comp matches afterwards
S3:

[QUOTE=spazthemax;51764382]Hey guys I know this thread is full of really well-performing overwatch players (or people who complain that they should be ranked high and aren't), but
Am I the only person who plays their placement matches, gets placed in silver, and goes, "If that's where I belong, that's okay" and goes back to arcade?
I try to group up with at least 1 or 2 people rather than trickle in (usually everyone is, at different times so it's hard to even get a group of 3 going before someone dies). I don't do mic chat but if someone else does I listen. I play every hero at least occasionally so I'm familiar with what they can do. Granted on the rare occasions I play ranked I stick to character's I've often done well with. I don't have any single "main" really. Then again I'm a real casual compared to a lot of people here, I only really play enough to get the arcade loot boxes each week, and often I don't even play enough to get all of them.
I'm just curious if there are other people as casual and low-skilled as me in this thread who just really appreciate the game nonetheless. If not for high-level strategy, than for being a fun time with fantastic visuals, great music, and very polished gameplay.[/QUOTE]
No, I'm the type of faggot who gets grouped up in gold and complains how bullshit my placement is based on how my other teammates are pretty fucking bad.

I don't even mean this as a joke, this is what I do. I get borderline silver-gold yet I get so many medals.
Wow I get matched against a full team of 4 stars and a silver border 4100 grand master with 4 stars, and I LOST IN A MASSIVE STEAMROLL
WHAT A SURPRISE
I'm level 138 for fuck sake why is the matchmaking in this game beyond cancer

What time is it for you in Australia? Google says 4am, which may be a factor.
Oh you live in perth so that's 1am. 1am on a Thursday doesn't seem like a good time.

Its shit all day every day, I honestly barely even play anymore because the matchmaking is such fucking dogshit every day
edit
gave it 1 more chance, our entire team was 1 stars, their whole team was grouped 3 and 4 stars, this shit genuinely happens every single game and I'm sick of it, uninstalled
They should change ana's sleep dart to a 1-2 second stun instead of a 4.5 second sleep. I'm tired of kids with 2 damage weapons waking the targets.
They should remove ana's sleep dart

That earthshatter gave me emphysema, jesus christ. Reinhardt somehow manages to be one of the most balanced heroes yet have one of the most bullshit ults at the same time.
Am I the only one whose interest in Overwatch has dipped massively due to all these limited time events?
Personally I'd like more time put into better map design, new maps in general and balance changes so it doesn't feel like the only thing for me to enjoy every [I]'major'[/I] update is put behind luck and grind for lootboxes.
Ends up making the game boring and less enjoyable when the only thing for me to return to is [B]"Hey look at these shiny bragging rights!"[/B]
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51767023]Replace it with a wake dart, that gives an ally a temporary immunity to CC, and then reduce her firerate and clipsize to get her on par with Mercy[/QUOTE]
Question: Can I shoot myself with it?
Ana's sleep dart isn't too strong, it's that every other disable in the game is too weak. The obvious solution to this is to lengthen the duration of other stuns.
8 second Earthshatter is the buff Reinhardt needs.

Do you think the entire OW team works exclusively on events? There will be a team dedicated to balance/changes, a team on maps, a team on events, a team on new hero design etc etc.
So i was thinking, why reaper teleport is 2 seconds long?

Yeah I mean the people making skins aren't the same people designing new hero mechanics. There's overlap between projects, sure, like the people making event skins will also make skins for the new heroes before they're released, but I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and say that their artists are working on event skins when there's not more important stuff like art for new heroes or map artpassing to be done.
Though there's also the legitimate criticism that putting every goddamn cosmetic into an event means half the skins in the game are going to end up costing three times the coin cost for no good reason.
