I'll keep climbing but fuck man... This game makes you want to hate video games more than this board.
you moba inbred.
How is it even possible to get a sub 2800 rating from placements??
>2800
>Top 21%
How is it possible
Count your lucky stars man I have no idea why I got pushed into 1800.
>duh I hate video games
>am I cool yet?
I got 2920 and was disappointed because I was under 3K

what the actual fuck.
you got 1800 because in season 2 you were placed too high.
>Play Overwatch
Stopped reading right there.
>unfunny JUST maymay
Quality thread OP.
So im not the only person who got fucked over? I mean is the system broken or something?
In season 2 I won 6 games and lost 4 and was rated 2500 +-
Now in season 3 I won 7 games and lost 3 and got 2020
is this normal?
I placed a bit over 3k last season and got a bit under 3k rating in placements but quickly got back up to 3k
what was your friend in season 2
>is the system broken or something?
no, it was broken in season 2. a lot of people got placed too high so now they're flattening it out. your w/l for season 3 doesn't mean as much as it did in s2. its more based on your ending SR. you'll be placed a bit lower so you can build yourself up.
>playing hero shooters
i was 2700 at the end of season. went 8/2 in placement and they placed me in 2200. still mad
S2 placements 2960 (8-2), climb to 3100 and drop to 2900 at the end.
S3 placements 2920 (7-3).
Soloque all the time, mostly playing Zen/Ana/Rein/Zarya.
I guess I'm where I belong.
in three of my ten matches, I had a hanzo, torb and widow in two slots. Yes, it was either hanzo-widow, hanzo-torb, widow-torb
I still got 2586, currently 2664
>no, it was broken in season 2.
I see, thanks user. Makes sense I suppose
I won 4, got 4 draws and lost two games and I still got 2.9K.
It's not about wins it's how you play as an individual
Hell, I didn't even play in season 2 but came back for season 3. Went 2-8 in placement matches and was in the 2500's.
I went 3/7 and got boosted to 2925, recently got myself into Diamond
When are they gonna nerf all tanks? It's not fun having EVERY SINGLE comp match have 3 tanks and Soldier. The balance in this game is dog shit at the moment.
Should I even bother doing my placements? I played S1 and was placed something like 57 or so with randoms. I didn't even do them in S2 because I figured my MMR would just carry over invisibly.
Overwatch is literally DotA here, why aren't you guys playing skill based games instead of this casual trash where your teammates are the deciding factor between win and loss.
>don't play overwatch
>enjoy my time with good games instead
10/10
Two things here, user:
First, realize that Sup Forums is terrible at video games. Extremely bad. Like, embarrassingly bad. There's a very small number of skilled players of any given genre on Sup Forums and the rest are loudmouth retards.
Then, realize that the Overwatch playerbase is flooded with first-time FPS players and casual Blizzdrones.
Someone who is actually not shit at shooters and has any level of experience in online games that aren't cawadooty is going to start at mid-to-high platinum.
You don't drop 700 points because of retards user. You drop 700 points because you are the retard.
>DVA in S2 was pretty OP
>Blizzard thinks she's not OP enough
>Patch notes: She's now unstoppable.
What kind of shit balance is this.
CURRENTLY 3400 ONLY PLAYING DVA. CAN'T STOP THE TRAIN
>Dva
>OP
lol wat
Even with the buffs she's still the worst tank pick by a wide margin.
90% of the playerbase was gold last season.
What they did was everyone that was below platinum got pushed back to silver (or lower). You can climb up in less than 4 games though
>Season 2 horribly over-inflates people's ranks to the point where the only possible way to be Bronze is to intentionally grief and quit matches
>Blizzard fixes this so the average person ends up in Silver where they belong
>People become upset at this
>play season 3
>win 8 matches, lose 1, 1 draw
>2458 gold
seriously what the fuck do they want from me to get plat in my placements
granted I won two comp matches after and got plat but still I thought I did enough for plat
D.Va is in almost every single match right now, she counters Soldier who also happens to be everywhere.
I hope you didnt post this with street fighter 5 in mind.
If you did you are a fucking moron.
When you have to deal with a 50/50 guess every 3 seconds the game is not in your control at all.
Hence why there were two americans in grand finals at capcom cup.
D.va is S rank. She has the highest pick to winrate of all the tanks in competitive modes because she hard counters Soldier 76. Reinhardt can't deal with the damage output.
>DVa is S rank
lol wat
No
S rank is 95% pick rate, no one's S but Lucio. DVa is B-rank, below Reinhardt.
Even with all it's problems SFV is a million times more skill based than anything in the moba genre
Are you stupid? She doesn't compete with the other tanks in high level play, she just joins them.
Her defense matrix,damage and ult are amazing.
>Zarya got nerfed so she is even stronger.
>Can 1v1 Reaper, the supposed tank killer.
>implying you're playing 3-tank setups in comp
>implying DVa has a higher pick rate than Rein either way
>Rank is determined by pickrate alone
No, that's not how it's determined at all. That's like saying if Roadhog is picked every pub match but has a 30% winrate he's still S rank.
If other blizz games are anything to go by, their placement games are just a meme, your MMR is already determined before from quick matches and such.
>playing ranked Overwatch
>I've never been so wrong before in my life, the post
What's it like in 1200, user?
t. 16er
haha whatever helps you justify your purchase, capcoon
user...
>Posting a laughing stock of an image that gets you kicked out of /owg/
>That puts Soldier 76 in fucking B-tier
I do and she is often picked alongside him in master.
What's it like not knowing how Overwatch tiers work even when they're posted above you?
>Sup Forums generals knowing what they're talking about or being anything but shit at their chosen game
This thread is hilarious
>a fucking /vg/ general is more trustworthy than actual data
Ok. You do know these tiers mean usage not how objectively good a hero is,don't you?
What a clever way to avoid addressing the issue
>current Dva
>worst tank
The fuck are you smoking asshole.
Winston sucks compared to her, in about every way possible. Shitty shield, same size, shitty mobility compared to Dva being able to fly every 5 fucking seconds.
>BlazBlue Calamity Trigger
>Everybody picks Tager in online matches because he's brain dead
>According to Sup Forums he's S rank
>Pros: lol Tager sucks, D rank at best
I'd advise killing yourself.
t. Jeff
You're just proving his point you absolute cock mongler.
>That awful feeling when you can't aim properly in this game
What mouse are ya using Sup Forums?
Vsync or no vysnc?
The issue of someone playing a moba, having to last hit properly, optimize their build and farming patterns, predict enemy team movement, organize fight, worry about positioning and develop a strategy to push down lanes
vs
a random 50/50 lotto in street fighter 5?
yeah man anti air dash under takes a lot of skill
...
>hey can you not play zen, we need a lucio
>hey can you not play pharah, she is so bad now
>hey can you not play tracer, we need a soldier he's so strong now
>hey can you not play second dps, we need third tank
This is pretty much comp now, and I don't even blame those people because it's all fucking true
Oh, how could I forget her obnoxious somehow more boring then Zarya bubbles "you can't use any abilities or ults while I stick out my dumbass shield thing that lasts for seconds. Oh and don't forget it'll stop things she's not even looking at.
You have to be a fucking moron to think Dva isn't one of the best tanks right now.
>what the assfaggot cuck believes
>proves his shit genre is a farming simulator
>hey can you not play pharah, she is so bad now
I have never once seen someone say this, how could anyone thing all her buffs 'made her bad now'
McCree or another Pharah is still basically the only thing that will kill me. That or a roadhog hook thrown from a quarter mile away.
This post is so stupid I literally cannot follow it
I'm going to assume you were trying to make a(n irrelevant) point about tiers and laugh at you
>friend wins almost every placement match
>gets placed in bronze
>i lose and tie almost every placement
>got placed in high silver
People say that all the fucking time and they're not wrong. How is she not bad, if McCree/Soldier (who was buffed to insane levels)/Roadhog shits on her instantly then yes she is bad.
The point is "usage" is an absolutely dogshit metric to rank heroes on. It doesn't tell you anything about which heroes are good in what situation or who they counter. All it does is tell you which hero is more popular.
Ranking something on usage is about as useful as ranking which video game sold the most this year, it doesn't fucking mean anything.
Name any other game where usage is the default go to for rankings. Fighting games don't do it, racing games don't do it, MOBAs don't do it, so why the fuck would Overwatch consider this a standard?
news flash
quick play effects global MMR
global MMR directly impacts SR placement and gains/losses
>S2 placements
>~2300
>climb to 3k and stop there
>S3 placements
>2940
>currently 3300
My placements started putting me in groups with players much better than me towards the end. The people in ~3300 are still a lot worse than what I encountered in my placements (had a few top 500 people there).
I think masters is the new diamond for this season.
did he play mercy?
>a random 50/50 lotto
Confirmed bronzie, there aren't even any true 50/50s in the game, and they're ANYTHING but random.
>memorize the map
>memorize what upgrades to buy
>hope your teammates have done the same thing or it's already over
compared to a game where you have complete control over the situation that you get yourself in, DOTA is random. Things with random elements aren't
havent played dota in about 2 years.
But I do play guilty gear unlike you, capcoon
Beautiful
>The point is "usage" is an absolutely dogshit metric to rank heroes on.
Except no, when you're looking at only the best of the best players usage is quite useful. Especially considering the players that win go farther and contribute more to the usage stats collected.
>Name any other game where usage is the default go to for rankings
Literally every game. That's how tiers fucking work you dipshit. They can be modulated by win rate but the most important thing is always pick rate.
>there aren't even any true 50/50s in the game
I like SFV a lot, but what in the fuck are you talking about? There are tons of 50/50's of all kinds in SFV. Characters are built around their 50/50s.
It's TOURNAMENT usage, shit head. If pros pick the same hero 95% and win tournaments with it then what does this mean to you, retard?
> Fighting games don't do it
They do.
>racing games don't do it
I have no idea
>MOBAs don't do it
They do
no, but a lot of ana
Those are oki guesses with more than 2 outs
hence they aren't 50/50
You were overrated in season 2 and basically got carried to platinum. Gold's skill range was far too wide and too many people ended up in it. So basically you probably are a high silver/low gold level player. This is your home now.
>went 9-1 in placement this season, 1 loss was due to a leaver
>2650 placement
I'll take it. Better than average but not a top player by any means.
>gold
>silver
Did these even exist what the fuck
I know plat exists because that time I dropped slightly under 3k was the worst time of my life getting those fucking trash on my team.
Do not play comp like you have money on the line and maybe you'll discover that ''Fun'' and ''Vidya'' can go together. I know, Stupid.
FUCKING LMAO
>THESE CHARACTERS ARE PICKED A LOT BECAUSE THEY'RE GOOD, THAT MEANS THEIR RANK IS DETERMINED BY USAGE AND NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE GOOD CHARACTERS
>LITERALLY CONFUSING CAUSATION WITH CAUSALITY
LITERAL RETARDS, IN FIGHTING GAMES CHARACTER RANK IS OFTEN DETERMINED BEFORE THE GAME EVEN HAS A TOURNAMENT SCENE. BANG AND LITCHI WERE RANKED SSS WITHIN ONE WEEK OF BBCS'S ARCADE RELEASE BECAUSE OF HOW OBVIOUSLY BULLSHIT THEY WERE. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH USAGE.
KILL YOURSELVES.
>Hey guys, did I tell you how awesome I am? I mean are there even players below the top 10%? I mean it makes total sense that every single player would be in Platinum or higher rank right? That's how rankings work, everyone is at the top!
I got placed straight into master rank lmao around 3.3k iirc
I wasn't even playing seriously, picking shit like attack symmetra and sombra. I must've lost like half the placement matches.
It's hard to imagine anyone being even worse at the game than those diamond shitters.
Everyone keeps agreeing on how compared to other games, diamond is overwatch's bronze tier.
I got placed directly into next years Blizzcon World Championships while playing nothing but attack Bastion without using turret mode. You kids need to git gud like me lol.
gud shit son
I think the system takes into account where you ended up last season more than anything.
Like you could fuck up all your placements but still rank high if you ended high last time.
...
It does because a hundred games or more over a season says a lot more about your skill than 10 matches where 1 or 2 bad players or leavers can fuck you entirely.
>reported for not playing with the team
So what you're saying is that characters are picked a lot because they're good.
Therefore usage is an accurate proxy for how good they are.
That makes sense, except for the part that if you got fucked over early on your rank is now permanently fucked up.
Not everyone has a reversal
Lets take, for example, an oki command throw from Mika vs Bison. Bison can jump out of it to win the 50/50 or do literally anything else to lose it.
You do have money on the line. You can sell your golden weapon account for money
Well it's not because you can climb back up. Sure you may not get as high as you "should" have but you'll still start each season higher than the last and should continue going up.
>X personality in a fighting game giving their personal tier list is the same as the universally accepted tiers
Nigger you are turbo-retarded
>dying game
SR works to "catch up" to a hidden MMR which is much more plastic than SR.
If you got fucked and have an SR well below your skill your hidden MMR will quickly outstrip it and your losses will lose you only a few points while wins will give you massive amounts.
We are all dying men too. So?
