What even is the point of ranked in this game?

overwatch is for babies. do you really expect any better?

rollling

it's not spam FUCK

Hell yeah

rollorama

>Taking overwatch seriously
That's your problem

The game is a lot more enjoyable in no limits when you run gimmick teams like 6 Tracers or 4 Genjis a Reaper and a Lucio.

WE

rolling out

>i play competitively with pubs

Play with friends

There is no point, it's a system designed to keep dullards playing the game and chasing that higher rank. Blizzard cannot make a good ranking system because a single player cannot have a strong enough influence on the outcome of a match. Even if you are an extremely skilled fps player, none of that matters because you are forced to rely on your team and people far far below your skill level can simply play the counter game and stop you.

Overwatch is a fun casual game for a couple of hours and maybe with a few friends, but the game is not truly competitive.

I dont suck, i just dont know hwo to aim.

...

Just insta-lock Widow in QP like every other cunt ever.

Holy shit do they ever love Widow so much they will ruin entire games for their teams, never play her in Ranked but inflict their play upon innocent QP teams forever and ever.

Theres 20+ different heroes niggers surely you can play something else thats not a sniping nigger.

Ok

Assfaggots fanbase ruins another game, nothing unexpected

I play comp solely to fuck with people. Caring about 4 magic numbers is petty.

I've never had so much fun in Overwatch.

play her in ranked because the tears flow freely

ok

why not

roloan

rolllllllllllllll

Even masters and grandmasters throw.
I blame ASSFAGGOTS.

Based user destroying shitty overwatch thread. roll

shiiiit

nig

I gotta know.

Nothing, competitive video games are a joke and it's your fault for buying into it.

blizzard should ban anyone with assfaggots installed

thanks

>playing a teamgame competitively with randoms
What the fuck is wrong with you

Hit me up senpai

I've been stuck in gold since I bought the game. I've never been in bronze and I've only go to silver once for about 3 games. Am I bad at this game? Or just average?

>Everyone sucks but me

Spoken like a true scrub.

youre average if not above

i play the game for fun

Are the Bronzes in Overwatch the same as silvers in CSGO?

>What even is the point of ranked in this game?

it's an invisible totem pole to keep you playing and distracted from the lack of content and shallow nature of the game

thanks until last week I thought I was in bronze ranking because the game started me off at 2000. I don't know why I was that retarded

> Begin placement matches
> Get somehow carried in all 10 games
> Placed in Diamond
> Systematically lose every fucking match and people scream at me for being level 28 and not knowing meta

I didn't ask for this

Gold isn't above average it's less than 50 percentile.

Get to plat and then you'll be slightly above average.

Or better yet, don't play a shitty e-peen game mode.

Nice I'm not far off platinum thought I had to reach 3000 to get it

I think they changed it last season, the picture is the one from before last.

Regardless of title, in a 1-5000 ranking you'd have to be 2500+ to be average or above average.

>ranked Overwatch

Some people are thrilled by numbers.

It's best played in a duo so you can atleast introduce some strategy into the mix.

Guess I'll have to just blame my teammates for that then28

There is none, play quick matches if you want to have fun. It requires you to chill out though so don't take it too serious user.

>no effort to work as a team until overtime because everyone is fucking around
>go to comp

And that's when I quit.

Fuck the haters.

>golds suck

golds are average you silver shitter. get fucked.

golds are literally below average, sorry you're shit at the game

I thought low diamonds/high plats are average?

t. bronze

>Bronze to Gold
Just plain awful at the game. Either new and clueless, or mechanically terrible. Regrettably, these are the most vocal forum and social media users.
>Platinum
Average players, which isn't saying much when everyone right below this rank plays as if they were oxygen deprived during birth.
>Diamond
Ranging from decent players to (according to Jeff Kaplan's Youtube video where he explained the switch to the new ranked numbers) the top 7% of all players in high Diamond.
>Master
Actually good players that can give others solid game advice.
>Grandmaster and Top 500
Pubstars and pro players.

My rating dropped down to 3000 since I stopped playing competitive a while back (didn't see a reason to keep playing after I got my golden gun of choice) but MasterOverwatch and Overbuff say I'm in the 73rd and 76th percentile now, respectively. Assuming these are at least somewhat accurate I'd say high plat and low diamond are, while not great, solidly above average.

>part of a group that plays together
>had to do most of the placements in only part of the groups thanks to different schedules
>get placed in diamond
>a couple of them got placed in bronze/silver and can't play ranked with them
Guess I dodged a bullet there

what even is the point in ranked in anything

> Picture related to what it took me to get to diamond

>Get sick of trying to play ranked
>Insta lock widow every game to hear the asshurt and practice sniping
Pretty enjoyable after a long day of work.

fight me, I'm a Silver Reinhardt and I struggle with teams not understanding how to push when Reinhardt does every single day.

To play the game with not mentally handicapped players
If you're good you will get there, at some point. This will not guarantee you from throwing, but a lesser chance of it. I mean, I barely got into gold with 2002 this season, because I didn't play ranked the previous one, and I got easily into diamond. If I was better I could have continued climbing further, but now I think my mechanical skill is lacking, so it's all about practice for me from now on. If you will ever hear about "ELO hell" know that the player who said this is probably a shitter.

>not carrying your way to master in a flex role, even carrying the game as support roles and tank, laughing how the opponents blame throwing opponents even though we carried literal throwers and trolls

Guess it wasn't meant to be for you, anons

To make it feel as though it has depth and strategy.

Keyword here being "feel."

To turn the game into assfaggots tier e-peen stroking garbage.

>Regardless of title, in a 1-5000 ranking you'd have to be 2500+ to be average or above average
Thats assuming this isn't just based on chess ELO, so the "average player" is in 2000-2300 range.

>Guy with hours in competitive as a healer
>Many hours as a tank too
>Quickplay insta locks Widow
>Can't hit shit
>Refuses to swap

>Regardless of title, in a 1-5000 ranking you'd have to be 2500+ to be average or above average.
There's only 1 player with 5000 currently

Then you suck then, playing Rein is literally the easiest thing to do.

I mean, if you're ~2300 you're "average" but the average is literally 2500 so you're "below average".

Not him, but It's not easy to carry with solo Reinhardt. That's why I abuse D.va now when climbing

What is it about QWER ability-based games that attracts the youngest, most casual, and most retarded playerbase?

>I'm bad
>I need to justify it

>Counter-Strike is for babies. do you really expect any better?
FTFY

It's very fun to play on quickplay with people

It's still imbalanced, but at least you can viably play most any character

Do people play meme characters like junkrat at high level comp games? Even on defense?

>being below master

this, teammates don't fucking understand to push with the reinhardt. It's why I don't do solo much.

>"pro" players in a game that shouldn't be played competitively

Overwatch should never have had the forced competitive mentality. I feel like I wasted money on this game, I was expecting a fun, wacky, more casual version of TF2. Instead I got a game with forced esports, teenagers bitching in to mics in competitive, and a complete lack of balance or ability to do well enough to carry games.
Overwatch is not, and shouldn't try to be, a competitive shooter. They need to stop catering to Twitch viewers who obsess with esports and tournaments, and make a FUN fps. If I watch to play or watch a competitive fps, Counter Strike is better. Overwatch could have been a great game, now I just wish I could get my money back.

Neither of you are wrong.

No, unless they are top tier with it

Did you not see me talk not about myself, but about my teammates? I know how to play Reinhardt. I'm good at Reinhardt. I just can't carry a retarded team.

Me.

I did not expect reading comprehension from a Reinhardt player and I was not disappointing.

Same, esports is cancer and the worst thing to happen to video games in ages.

Hopefully once they have community servers it can stop being so shit.

Would it even matter? The game is designed around 6v6, to have that comfy community server feel you need way more players than that

>people whine about shitty video games
>they refuse to play underpopulated games that are objectively better.
starts with you.
stop being a damn follower.

>Platinums don't communicate
Nah, they do, they just have the same problem as silvers and don't know what they should actually be communicating.

>"Someone needs to take care of that widow, she keeps killing me!"
>Where is she?
>Call out her position when you see her
>Why are you playing Pharah and complaining about a widow, fucking swap you idiot

>Would it even matter? The game is designed around 6v6, to have that comfy community server feel you need way more players than that
Yea and tf2 was designed around 12v12 what's your point.

I don't understand how people still don't fucking understand this. You are playing a competitive team game, with random teammates, of course you are going to have a shitty experience. It doesn't fucking matter whether its CS:GO, LoL, DotA, Overwatch, whatever fucking game people argue that one has the slightly better community even though they are all shit, the teammates will always suck, and there will always be people boasting about their slightly higher rank in the random teammate generator ladder thinking it makes them the uncontested master of facts about the game. Either find a team to play competitively, or play the games casually.

Elo hell does exist especially in a game with pure RNG like overwatch praying you get competent teammates.

Only autist play this casual party game for the whole family "competitively"

Of course there is also the average of actual players to consider, which is much lower than 2500

>with a wicked sense of humor

>What even is the point of ranked in this game?
To not play in the trash ranks.

This seems about right, though I don't have experience with bronzes or silvers. Diamonds throwing is especially true, at least when it comes to low diamonds. There have been so many games where some baby throws a hissy fit because another guy isn't playing the character he wants him to play or because the team is doing something wrong (in his opinions), and then decides to throw the game by going torb on attack and doing absolutely nothing. At high diamond/low master, these people mostly disappeared though.

Not really, TF2 is playable 16v16, which a majority of popular community servers are.

Overwatch on the other hand would be completely unplayable clusterfuck 12v12 or higher thanks to, for example, heroes with ults that instagib everything in an immediate radius

Be grateful they choose Widow in QP and not comp, fag.

>Not really, TF2 is playable 16v16, which a majority of popular community servers are.
Yea, but it was designed for 12v12

It'd be about as much of a clusterfuck as community servers are in tf2.

Or at least, maps that aren't 2CP, since all of the overwatch 2CP maps are garbage.

TF2 doesn't have ults, the closest it has is ults which require a medic and teamwork

12v12 Overwatch would be like TF2 if everybody could uber or kritz on command, utter cancer

If the entire team was mercy or something. A lot of the ults aren't anywhere near uber tier.
