It takes like 3 seconds to learn the game. It's also filled with retarded 8 year olds.
Stop playing kid's games you retarded faggot. You should off yourself just for the fact that you own it.

You are matched with people of equal skill level.

>he says while posting in a forum for children

>go back to kindergarten
>everything is still a stupid baby

wtf?

this is blizzard we are talking about bud, they aren't exactly known for being competent at making things.

I dont even play gaywatch and know this is likely to be true, assuming your on the same account as before, matchmaking will match you with the same shitters you were playing with before.

>competitive

Overwatch should have ammo pickups

>over...

The game is so easy there is literally only one skill level

They packaged in shiney ranks, gold medals and post-game screens to trick retards into believing they are competitive and to release endorphins.

>playing video games competetively

kek

>doing anything competitivly

pic-related is a trap btw

I've just casually having fun playing it. Why are you guys so mad about people just playing around?

reported for being toxic

Stop playing Paladins for poor people

...

>me ooga, team booga
>you're going to reply about occasions where you had gold medals
>you're going to ignore games where you've been absolutely carried

Vidya gheymz sure do make people delusional.

there are multiple skill levels, its just that it entirely has to do with teamwork so MMR just doesn't work. The actual mechanics, actually being able to play your character correctly, is incredibly easy and anyone can do it. The skill in the game is in knowing what to play to counter the enemy. Only problem is that if one person on your team doesn't know that shit or refuses to switch for another reason, you're totally fucked and will lose. The game has no way of knowing that it was his fault so your entire team is penalized, which gives you a better chance of getting another such person on your team.

The game is impossible to climb in unless you play with friends.

If Blizzard wouldnt market it as a competitive game no one would be mad.

Its whole design is clearly hyper casual and thats ok, but blizz tends to push their their really casual games like hots,hearthstone and overwatch into esports by throwing money at them, but those games simply arent made to be competitive, but with further efforts blizzard tries to cram esports into them so hard that they become some kind of frankenstein game that doesnt know if its supposed to be casual or competitive, which ends up angering both those audiences and starts failing on both ends.

Its like you threw money at tic-tac-toe tournaments and then suddenly people made up a billion rules to make tic-tac-toe more competitive and balanced circles to count less or something, but the casual framework the game was designed with wont allow it to be actually deep, only uncessarily cluttered with confuse additional rules.

It's hard to learn how to play the game when I don't own it and never will.

>returning to Overwatch

here's your mistake

>watch...

Why the fuck would anyone turn this in to a montage moment as if what they did here was impressive and took skill to perform?

It's not the system's fault you're stuck in plat.

>Want to play more Overwatch
>Remember that it involves playing almost the exact same game from a year and a half ago
I just want to play the heroes I have fun playing, without the rest of the baggage attached!

Eh. I don't care about the competitive aspect because it's actually hard to see what's happening. They have to fix their spectator stuff first.

I only care about just lounging around after a days work and playing maybe an hour and 2. If you don't think about the comp aspect, it won't come to you as well anyway.

Uh, excuse you, this is grand master level play, I'd like to see you do it.

you're right, the system would work fine if everyone playing the game wanted to win and wanted to play, but that isn't the case. You can use a system to determine an individual players skill in a situation where most variables that determines a game are out of that players hands. The system works fine, it is just an incorrect system to use in this situation.

>matchmaking actively punishes swapping characters midgame, which the game is based around

>system rewards one-tricking with more SR, you could climb by only playing mercy so easy, that the forum was flooded with the problem for month, and even pros complained about all the shitty gm mercys

>system gives you more MMR by playing aggressivly, a defensive reinhardt who did an A+ job at holding everything together, gets less mmr then a reinhardt that just swings into everyone.

Yeah nah their MMR system is shite.

>matchmaking actively punishes swapping characters midgame, which the game is based around
No it doesn't. The only argument you have that you lose your ult charge but that's a minor penalty for swapping to something that fits your team more.

>literally pressing Q, aiming in the foes' general direction and let the rifle do the work

Man, shit, I should become an e-sports player.

that's a cute female (male (female (female (male))))

she's a cutie, who is she?

Yes it does, you get less SR if you swap characters more often, as the "performance" for each character will be seen as shitty since the game only looks at the complete match and not at the fact that you played one char for like 5 minutes.

It just sees your stats on all characters are low and gives you lower SR, even when you did well overall.

Performance based rating was a retarded idea and blizzard heavily struggles with that.

A real ELO-System only uses win/loss rate, problem is ELO was designed for 1on1 games.

By one-tricking you become better at one hero than the average player and the game rewards you for being better than the average player by giving you more SR even if you're trash at every other hero, so you're being rewarded for one-tricking.

Thats a cute recursiveGenderFunction()

I'd wager that you lose way more matches if you're stubborn enough to never swap mid game. So in the end that's not even an issue.

the only overwatch you should be playing is the overwatch command for your units in XCOM

>eyecancer 24/7
Cant see shit

Why risk that when i can just "main" a character that does well in any team setup?

Ill just let my teammates play the fill in roles that give less SR :^)

Jesus christ, there has been multilevel videos and tests to show that one tricking and fucking over your team most of the time rewards you more than helping your team. People flat out refuse to switch because they will lose Sr.

because i dont play cancerwatch
>forced 50%
>equal skill
sure thing

Just don't complain that "it's impossible to climb solo in this game"

>>forced 50%l
>still posting this meme

Why are there so many Genji and Hanzo mains stuck in plat then?

I never did say that, im not the same user.

I just said the mmr system is shite and doesnt work properly.

Climbing solo is ez if you know how to abuse this broken system.

You are matched with people of your in gamre rank in all modes, except comp.

Because Genji and Hanzo make up 90% of team comps, not all of them can move up

>start playing OW after I quit before ranked came out
>start playing because the shill threads convinced me
>Mercy is fucking op 2 tanks and 2 healers are necessary
the shit tank, healer meta from wow arena is fucking cancer.

Because you still have to perform decently while doing the one tricking, as in doing enough dps compared to other hanzos, which is still less valuable for your team than picking something else in that situation, but swapping would give less SR than playing a mediocre hanzo to the end.

>get to Masters easily by playing McCree and Zenyatta and just shooting people in the face
>in Masters aim no longer gives a big enough advantage to carry every game
>would now have to deal with all the gay metagame shit and actually bother cooperating with the gay babies on your team to win
Overwatch is shit, but if you're stuck anywhere below diamond you're just shit at FPS.

>Mercy is fucking op 2 tanks and 2 healers are necessary
>the shit tank, healer meta from wow arena is fucking cancer.
This desu. The game would be way better if tanks were removed from it entirely and the only healers available were Zenyatta and Ana.

yeah there are two classes of players, those who have used a mouse before and those who haven't. It's generally split down the middle of plat.

>someone made a frag compilation of fucking REAPER

what's next, a winston killshot video?

But that just proves that the good players climb while the average ones stay where they belong.

>Overwatch should have ammo pickups

Game would be better if it only had soldier,widow,mcree,junkrat and pharah.

But then people with shit aim, which is 3/4 of the blizzard audience would drop the game.

It really doesnt, its as this guy said

A "good" player in overwatch is probably a gold nova in cs or something.

Its just the majority of the playerbase is clinically braindead, so its not hard to separate yourself into higher brackets, with a minium amount of aim.

Are you implying Junkrat players can aim?

The game compares you to the average player of whatever hero you're playing and there's alot of genji and hanzo players. Instead the symmetra, torbjörn, and sombra players are going to gain sr faster because they're less popular so the average player is probably worse then the one tricks are.

OP reminds me of a girl I used to be friend with/stalk.

Okay they cant, but it would still be way more fun with only dps classes and no one would have to play unfun support roles.

No one cares if the average CSGO player is better than average OW player.

Those heroes are way more situational and easier to shut down if your team doesn't coordinate. It's a safe bet that those who one trick Symm to GM are already really good players no matter what they play.

I'd let her have sex with me

Why Mercy is such a slut, Sup Forums?

It was just an analogy, to point out that the skill ceiling is low in OW and the difference between good and shitty players is there, but the gap is not all that wide.

I love overwatch but it has a huge problem in that its confused about what it wants. is it supposed to be hyper competetive or more about fun?

They stress you to learn the in and outs of specific characters then balance around hero swapping.

Balance in general is a mess right now their are four heros who you need in almost every game everyone else is just situational.

Also it really sucks that you can predict who will win a match based solely on the charatcher select screen most games in over watch are won and lost before you have even played at all.

If a one trick is better than the average they will lose less sr when the lose but they gain alot more sr when they win, so they can climb with a

ummm sweetie, can we like.. not?

I really want to know.
Why does she attract so many fags and role-players?

She's a slut? I won't believe it untill I witness it first hand.

Is isn't confused about that at all, you are. Stuff with classes is inherently not competitive. Ow has a low skill ceiling and rock paper scissors gameplay. It isn't competitively viable period.

Which in return means, they want to do actions that increase their own stats as the main priority and not necessarily do the most helpfull thing for the team.

>implying the difference between double AK/sheriff in CS:GO and a Global Elite isn't 90% map knowledge, grenade usage, and prefiring

Well overwatch lacks all those elements of depth, except for "map knowledge", but overwatch maps dont tend to be overly complex or allow for deeper tactics.

the slutiest

I think he means the devs are unsure whether to focus on the competitive aspect more or the babby's first shooter aspect more, and he's right. You have the forced espawts angle with OWL, but then you have the problem you yourself described. In the end, you have a shooter the design of which is being pulled in two opposing directions.

Theoretically speaking, if you were playing with and against players of equal skill, you should have a 50/50 win/loss rate.

Yes, the difference between being diamond/masters in Overwatch and being top 500 is 90% metagame cheese strategies and "teamwork".

Yes she is.
I also heard that she eats ass.

t. shitters

thanks for the laughs, got any more?

What's the source of these?

Everytime I see an Overwatch frag video or even a highlight video I wait to see what sorta high level skill that separates the top players and all I get are hotkey presses and qs of the game. As if having good positioning is a worthwhile frag video material when aiming is the easiest thing already.

Stop playing team based games.

1v1 games or single-player only.

It's strange how I would actually have to make an effort to care less about Overwatch, but I very badly want to pollute Mercy's perfect gene pool with my unworthy seed.
The power of character design, I guess. Also, post more lewds.

What do you need lewd Mercy for I wonder.

I returned recently as well and immediately quit because I proceeded to lose a comp match because a spamming Junkrat on our team concussion mined an ulting reaper into the middle of our team killing everyone besides him

...

...

>Why can none of you learn to play the game after all this time?
to busy jacking it to the character models to spend much time actually playing and practicing.

Did he get killed a few second later and then say (the first use of his mic all game) "What the fuck? How did everyone die?"

Also, how do people still have no idea how Zarya works? Everyone just charges the shit out of them constantly.

>too good to enjoy team games
>not good enough for 1v1

because hanzo can just peek and throw a giant log that will have a good chance of killing someone or pressing a button that will deal 500 damage by NOT hitting a hero directly
and a decent genji will just stomp shit players (anyone under diamond) because it has the best kit in the game

If you aren't a Grand Master ranked player, you should unironically uninstall.
You are the problem, not your team.

You cant say tic-tac-toe is simply if you dont have the world championship title.

Its basically impossible to analyze the depth of the game if you dont have rank X :^)

Protip: This is the most retarded non-argument in existance
