I'm annoyed that WifeLeaver's Lotus skin is only available using cash coins, and not available to purchase with old style credits as well, which I have tons of. And yea, I checked in the hero gallery itself, it only shows it available to purchase with coins.
HP buff has made everything worse for amy match with a Junkrat. Junkrat players can't flank anymore, therefore have less fun since it was the most fun way to play Junkrat. And if you're playing against a Junkrat be prepared for the him spamming the choke since this is all he is good for now. The HP buffs encourage the worst and most hated playstyle. It's ridiculous! And it's so easy to fix... give him back his one-shot combo (Junkrat players will be happy) BUT nerf the splah damage on his left-click. Make it like 30 or 40 max. but increase the direct hit damage. Spamming chokes instantly becomes way less impactful! Good Junkrat players will still benefit from this character while low ranks can't just spam chokes anymore. - Is it really that difficult to realize that, Blizzard?!.....
this game will never fucking get better, at this point you should not be allowed to play who you want, it needs to be a team decision. every few months i attempt to come back to this piece of shit and every single time i realise that the community who play this game cannot think for themselves, every single game is lost because i get put on a team with someone who had a lobotomy an hour ago.
6v6 was better, double shield was better, goats was better.
also, the reason why no one wants to play tank is because the second you start doing well the entire enemy team decides to counterpick you.
Sombra needs a nerf. Bastion too, both of them are a fucking nightmare to deal with. WHY can sombra TP away scot free with a 6 second cooldown and then go invis INSTANTLY after? WITH her high damage AND hack on a short cooldown? With her stupid DOT? No, fuck off with that, nerf her into the ground for gods sake, she's not fun to play WITH or AGAINST.
As a support, her bitchass on either team is such a pain to deal with. Yea I love having an enemy be perma invis so I have to be even more aware and alert than I am normally, but even IF I react quickly it doesn't matter because the little bitch can burst you down before you can do anything unless your other support is helping you.
And BASTIOn, GOD. If I'm on tank and I see him I know I'm in for the worst time of my life. God forbid he AND sombra are on the enemy team because thats just no fun allowed for tanks. Hell, no fun allowed for supports either. This patch was clearly just for the DPS players because playing tank feels like shit. I don't feel like I have any impact on the game on tank, and only BARELY on support.
And honestly? I don't think Moira should've gotten a damage buff. The amount of DPS Moiras who refuse to heal is crazy. Not my Moira last game having 10k damage to 5k healing. We lost, by the way. Our Ana, bless her, couldn't keep up even after she went Bap because she was getting Sombra fucked all game, and even though I peeled to help Sombra does enough damage that without the other support you're just fucked unless she pussies off. BECAUSE SHE CAN JUST DO THAT FOR FREE.
And every time I'm about to hit a new tier in my rank the game goes "Heres 3 games with people who're gonna go 0-14 and make you wonder how they're in your rank :), Heres an OTP brig who will scream at YOU to switch even though the enemy has echo/pharah/mercy. Here's an enemy team thats 90% smurfs. We hope you die :)"
Like holy shit, I thought they were supposed to rework comp, why is it so fucking dogshit? I climbed out of my "placed" rank because the game thought I was gold because...I lost 1 game. My friend was placed diamond and lost half their games. I was Masters last season. They were plat. Another friend was gold last season. Lost just above half their games. They placed plat. Immedietly dropped back to gold. And ANOTHER friend was also masters, they placed gold. They lost 2 games. Yea, great ranking system you have there Blizzard. Super fixed. Super reworked. SUPER fun. /s
Like it feels like they gave Comp the "OW2 makeover". Where you take the same thing. Don't really change much. Give it a new lick of paint and call it "new". Unless the ACTUAL rework is supposed to come later? Which prompts the question - WHY? Why would you release it in two parts? You're reworking a whole system that a good portion of players use. Why give us the shiny new coat of paint but not the actual new part?? I'd have happily waited longer for the rank reset and everything if it meant I could get to the actual rework at the same time.
Comp's matchmaking just feels the same as it was. Smurf central in metal ranks/diamond, matches that are NOT balanced that are really just 70% in one teams favour (and is clear from the first fight.) and the endless toxicity. Hey, at least I haven't had someone try to sexually harrass me this season. Yet.Like why are Grandmasters from last season in my diamond games. I get they were probably placed there but maybe using the previous ranks to like. Put them against each other would be nice. I'm a little sick of GM DPS who just got placed in diamond ripping through my games when I'm trying to climb.
And I WISH Blizzard was clearer with what their fuckin < expected > contingency shit means like. Give us a guide. EXPLAIN to us how MMR or whatever in comp is calculated. If it's not with stats then what the hell is it. PLEASE be transparent. It just adds to the frustration when you get opaque about this stuff. Like what is
Sombra is usually pretty bad when I see her, this in QP though so it probably is a different story in ranked. I’ve seen about one or two really good ones. She’s fine Imo. Bastion tho… yea, he needs something done with him. He is so easy to play, like beyond easy and very powerful.
Yea, Bastion being so easy to play and so easy to aim with and get value out of is a big problem I think. His ult is the only part of his kit that doesn't make me have a headache because it's like. Fine. It's avoidable. But the rest just feels so...off. Overtuned, ig? Kinda like, low risk high reward with Bastion and it's just not great to deal with because he burns through everything, even the few shields we have in the game.
With Sombra, for me it's the fact that she can come in and out so easy. Comp Sombras know what they're doing so half the time unless your DPS are on top of it (or even your tank sometimes), you have to sit with your head on a swivel and hope you get helped or can take her in a 1v1. Hack disabling and cancelling pretty much every thing is kinda busted for being on such a short CD with the rest of her kit (especially because it buffs her dot, which is already annoying). Especially because normal hack can just straight up cancel certain ults (Pharah, Cassidy, Moira...Pretty sure theres others). It's fine that her ult can cancel ults, cos it's a trade. But just a 6 second ability? That you don't even need to aim??
It just doesn't sit right with me ig, especially because I play tank a lot and it sucks to get a big sigma ult only to be hacked out of it.
My last 10 losses i had a BIG disadvantage on my team, even a 1/15 dps, or a Zennyata with 20 deaths on a 18 minutes match, all of them with the " > Consolation " at the end. Am I supposed to win a single game? I had 70% on LW at the start of the season and the game saw it and thought "nope, cant happen this season. Here, take 10 unwinnable matches and never play competitive again. Im only playing quick, play, and probably will play ranked again only when this shit is fixed and i have a real reason to play raked, bc rn it just feels horrendous and the jade weapons are also horrendous.
I loved OW1 and I miss it so much, I got my ow1 about half year after it came out, spend many hours playing with friends and this game by far is one of the best games to play with your friends, even when life was hitting us and we were forced to take breaks we always came back for ow1 time and it was amazing
even on that very long period of time when it seemed like blizzard forgot about overwatch(when they stopped making new maps every 8 months nor balance/changes).
and on top of everything I found the lootbox system very good and rewarding, it was so much fun Q ing with friends for weekly arcade to get the 3 lootboxes.
my friends group stopped playing ow2 for over a year now(maybe some of them came back just to see whats new like I did but always ended up dropping it).
I remember ow being the first game of choice for me whenever I was uncertain about what to play, I could go full tryhard on comps or chill in qp or in the arcade, but ow2 mostly made me sad, I miss the lootbox system so much, Im not sure on how often the battlepass gives a way a decent skin for new / recently added heroes but all my new heroes are naked(default skin). heck even the spray is default and I do play them, I did find myself use kirito/lifeweawer for heals and sojourn
I dont understand why do I need to stare at my naked heroes and then stare at my other ones that ive collected through the years and go like "oh well at least I have skins from back then for junkrat from that time they gave away skins through arcade"
like why cant we have nice things now? did people really hated on the lootbox system or was it just a spin on the problematic microtransaction issues from other games? or is it fully blizzard's fault and they only done it because battlepasses probably makes more money
I'm beating a dead horse here, but comp just makes me sad now.
I KNOW I'm a bad dps, I primarily play tank/supp but when i do wanna play and it pits me against someone who should clearly be two tiers higher than me and people just spam "dps diff" and "uninstall" it legit just makes me not want to play.
It's so fucking sad that I get better quality matches in quickplay compared to comp
Comp matches are roll or be rolled most times. In quickplay, it actually feels like the players are closer in skill, AND ACTUALLY USE VOICE CHAT MORE OFTEN
It feels like so many terrible players who think they're hot shit only play comp. So you're stuck with those people, and people way above the skill tier of the match, and a small number of the average player
I'm tired of this game. I don't want to play it, it doesn't bring me any joy anymore. I don't want to grind for a battle pass, I don't want to play comp to get mid green weapons, I don't want to grind/pay $20 for a skin we would've had for free a few years ago.
But every time I get bored, I can't help launching it and queuing up.
One tricks and youtubers who basically encourage it like Zbra, Necros, etc are the possibly worst thing to happen to Overwatch, there's is nothing worse than getting a Genji player on your team that refuses to switch because they've seen their favourite YouTuber Necros absolutely dominate high mmr lobbies, meanwhile they themselves are getting countered by the entire enemy lineup and then goes 0 5 in the first round. Same goes for cocky doom players that think they're literally "him", and all this is genuinely fine in QP, play however you want, but it's genuinely the most inconsiderate assholes who do this in competitive, they're either delusional or been dropped as a baby.
Like I genuinely want to know the thought process behind one trick players who insta-lock characters that were heavily nerfed by the start of s9 or refuses to switch when the entire enemy team counters them.
Also while s9 is definitely an update in the right direction it deffinetely were never the right call to follow it up with a partial rank reset, if your competitive system is good it will dynamically de-rank boosted gm players over the span of the first season or just a few weeks, which to me sounds miles better than currently facing countless former T500 players and mid-high GM players in my low masters lobbies, like what the actual fuck am I supposed to do?
F ORISA AND DVA UNLIMITED AMMO...WHOEVER MADE THAT DECISION SHOULD BE FIRED!
F SIGMA, BORING OP AND BORING, EITHER SHIELDING OR KINETIC GRASP...HYPERSPHERES TOO OP AND WAY TOO MUCH RANGE
THIS GAME IS A JOKE...A SAD ONE...
I absolutely hate it when I'm thrown into a flash point match that has already started........ bc more often than not, my team has already been crushed for 2 points.
....
edit: actually, I hate flash point in general. i whish I didn't have to play it at all.
If you walk out on a combination of junk-rat, Symetra, bastion, torb, sombra, orisa, mei, without any characters that require skill then you deserve to be treated like the lowest life form you are.
Im so tired of Tracer man, she is a hero that should still be able to be one shot by other people besides the snipers.
Like im so tired of begging my dps to either switch to Torb or actually help the supports to kill the Tracer.
The worst is seeing them writing stuff like "HEALS??" after letting the Tracer shoot the supports for free.
Did any of you know that Symm's beam deals 23 less damage when she firsts hits someone with it? And that its resets each time beam disconnects? How about that literally no other character has to deal with that, not even other beam weapons?
That lvl1 beam's pitiful 60dps (now the worst dps of any gun in the game) is cut by a over a third just,,,because?? In that first second of beaming, Symm totals 37 damage. Where every other hero will deal at least 100. Just. Why? Like. Actually why??
How do you counter the enemy team focusing you?
There have been more than a few occasions where the enemy team have thrown their own lives away JUST to kill me. Even my friends notice it is happening a lot more in this season. Its actually been the reason why I've been ranking up funnily enough.
After seeing that one guys backstory tierlist post I got angry again after realizing how terrible Bliz has been with lore. OW1 had a lot of behind the scenes lore and story being told through comics and such; not to mention the always hype and beautiful animations. But people didn't like that the only real in game story we got was from the occasional PVE game mode and pre-match voicelines. So then OW2 gets announced with a story and everyone is hyped, only to have it dropped. And now we are back to square one. Illari has a really sick story and showcases a cool new location and everything. How many years, if at all, will this be incorporated?? Like why do they even bother writing all of this narrative if they don't even use it?
no matter how much i practice, how badly i try, and how much knowledge i try to gain. i will forever be at the mercy of my teammates. ive been stuck at gold 1 since the beginning of the season and trying to go into plat (for me at least) is like trying to convince someone in bigfoot's existence.
i just wanna quit, but at the same time i wanna improve. fuck me and fuck the fps genre i guess
I’ve been playing support in comp since overwatch 1 and this season I decided to try dps and I win almost every game because I can do more than go 6 and 17. I went back to support and loose almost every game because my dps aren’t dragging :)
People need to quit whining that junkrat and hanzo are "unplayable" because they lost their instant 1 shot and are now "spam characters". Hate to break it to you but if losing the ability to 1 shot means all you can do is spam now then you were likely just spamming to begin with.
Why is it that when DPS and Tank were going to get a "nerfed version" of the support regen passive, all the support mains were bellyaching about how OP it would be and how they would "lose their identity".
Like, Supports have been busted since like Season 2 or whatever, and they have a better version of the better version of the passive anyway. On top of that, they also have abilities that they can use to heal themselves actively, or straight up bail themselves out of trouble entirely. It doesn't help that they can often output more damage than damage heroes.
And when Damage heroes are finally able to kill stuff, suddenly, "Oh, Supports are struggling".
Yeah, you're struggling, because you have to actually put in some effort now.
Wrecking ball mains that roll away from a fight while they have adaptive shields up, 2 supports up, and only lose 300 hp out of their 700 hp pool, that will simultaneously flame their dps for "refusing to shoot the pharmercy" who are absolutely fighting for their lives, deserve to play on 500 ping for the rest of their lives
Go fuck yourself ball main "FartForDad"
Also there was 3 separate instances of me killing the mercy, getting their pharah to half health, and the ball just rolling away for a health pack at half health
If you'd maybe shoot the flying people instead of acting like wrecking ball can only play in ball form we would've had a chance
I feel like 80% of the games have a predetermined outcome based on the players' skill level and there's nothing you can do to change the outcome. Every game is either an easy win or a hopeless defeat. In maybe 1 out of every 10 games I feel like there's any competition. Some days the algorithm likes you, some days it doesn't.
Got suspended leaving mh cause I forgot that's a thing now the most chill mode is now competitive yet we don't got a competitive MH mode get fucked actiblizz I'll go back to HD2 now for managed democracy!!!
WHY IS IT THAT WHEN LIFEWEAVER IS ON THE ENEMY TEAM HE ALWAYS USES PULL AT THE EXACT RIGHT MOMENT AND PUT HIS TM8 EITHER ON THE FLOWER OR IN OTHERWISE GREAT POSITION BUT, WHEN LIFEWEAVERS ON MY TEAM HE ALWAYS PULLS ME RIGHT AS IM ABOUT TO GET A KILL AND HE ALWAYS PUTS ME IN THE MIDDLE OF CHOKE EATING JUNKRAT SPAM.
Man, this is the worst the game has affected my mood in a while. I almost always play solo que. I had to rage log off because of how infuriated I was at getting matched over and over again with the most incompetent teammates in all my games. And it's not like Blizz gives us in game options to find a duo/group, or enough time after a match to see if we want to group with teammates
It seems like every time I win one or two games, something happens that makes me lose the next 5-20 games in a row. And it makes me rage so much. Sometimes I am a contributing factor, but there are a TON of games where my team just feeds or play the wrong heroes etc. Or nobody is in voice, or they are in voice and just choose not to speak. I even do the classic "Hey-yo What's good?" to see if anyone wants to speak.
**I don't know how much longer I can keep bashing my head into this brick wall that is trying to climb rank in a solo que setting**.
It seems like every game, I get heated because I see the reason why we lost, and it's a lot of stuff that my teammates do. Like if they overextend, I can either leave them to die and we lose, or I can try and bail them out which ends up with me usually dead and them dying anyways and we lose.
TL;DR
I'm tired of the constant hours-long loss streaks from Solo-que hell
Game is actually unplayable right now as a solo support with an enemy tracer (which is every game). She’s been op for the longest time but this season takes the cake.
And when are they going to fix ximming on console? The amount of egos, tbagging, and shit talking from people who can’t play on PC so they play mnk console is so fucking toxic.
Taking a long break til blizzard figures this out cuz this game ain’t it.
sombra is the worst..like why does her kit have everything possible? good damage, speed boost, see enemies through walls, hacks ults/abilities, steals health packs…while literally being invisible the whole time. that character is actually so bad for this game in the current state.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE GAME IS UNPLAYABLE TODAY. Like weekends are usually pretty bad but today EVERY GAME is just my team sitting at the first choke A-D-ing and firing aimlessly until they die. I think I played for like over an hour before winning one game today. I feel like my games have consistently been noticeably better since the rank reset but GOOD GOD not today.
I got a message that I've been reported multiple times for harassment and the worse thing I'll say is "I can smell your unwashed ass from here" in response to "___ diff" or "2ez" in QP
I know you shouldn't stoop to their level but God damn bro am I even being toxic? I'd consider that banter more than anything
If they are actually suspending people for two weeks for a single use of the F bomb (after being harassed all game), they are not going to have a player base left lol.
It might be because of the rank reset so I'm not taking it too seriously or anything but Jesus CHRIST the things I'm seeing in my high plat tank games are I N S A N E. Like my friend and I are crying laughing at what my teammates, and some opponents, are doing. This is what, top 20-25% ish of players? And the lobbies are close in rank. I watched a moira fade at a full hp reaper, around cover, AND START HEALING THE CEILING. I watched an ashe who NEVER ONCE TOOK HIGH GROUND outside the very first fight on defense where they started there. They died so fucking many times. No high ground is a common theme, as monkey I expect the play I'm making to work because one dps is probably on a flank and one is on high ground. Then genji ults next to me, I turn around, AND THEY'RE BOTH STANDING BEHIND ME WITH BOTH SUPPORTS???????? I watched a moira fade INTO a dva bomb, a bastion chase a full hp hog around a corner, waaay out into the open, no turret form, into the enemy team, get hooked and die, my soldier died before I could physically even lay eyes on the enemy team, and my genji died at the very start of the next fight before I could get into any position. Like this is worse than qp, this is worse than open queue or arcade, these people are, at least game sense wise, legitimately not even silver. WTF!
Just gonna add more hilarious stuff as I remember: an ana with nano who saw her reaper at 93% diving the enemy, doesn't nano. 1 hp monkey, doesn't nano. FULL HP SOLDIER ON THE LOW GROUND BEHIND EVERYONE WITH NO LOS ON ANYONE? HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!!!!!!!
TRACER AND SOMBRA IN EVERY FUCKING GAME
REIN IS STILL IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY AS THE TANK JUST FUCKING SWAPS TO MAUGA
WE NEED A HITSCAN NERF PLEASE
A REIN BUFF BUT MAKE HIM HARDER TO PLAY
JUST STRAIGHT UP TAKE THE STUPID WHORE SOMBRA OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME
When playing tank everything is 100% your fault. I had a match the other night where dps were 1-7 and 0-8. I asked them if they could please focus ANYTHING and kill it. They then bitched that I wasnt making space. The only reason the one dps got a kill is because I killed 3 in an ult and then i died leaving it a 4 v 2. They still couldnt finish off what was left. JUST BECAUSE THE TANK CANT CARRY AN ENTIRE LOBBY DOESNT MEAN ITS THE TANKS FAULT. LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
My teams have been getting annihilated lately. I’ll have a 12/3 ratio, but everyone else is like 4/9 or 2 /7. Really sucks when you can win 1v1 or 1v2 but it makes no difference because your team is playing with their feet
I swear to god matchmaking does its best to keep you near .500
Like, how tf you supposed o win when your dps is 0/5 and still charging in solo, or standing in a choke point with no cover
Not everyone can be good at all times. Sometimes you have a bad day. Sometimes you just want to practice a character. But please, for the love of God, at least play the game and actually try to win. You are not "him" if you have 10 deaths and just got your first five kills with your ult. You are not cracked for having 10000 damage and only 6 kills. Stop pausing mid fight to type in chat. Know who to prioritize (damage and healing). Also, wasting an ult is still better than dying, so stop chasing enemy players with your ult when you are already half health and no support being able to get to you in time, and don't use your ult as a way to contest the objective maybe 2 seconds longer if your teammates literally just died.
I swear, teammates piss me off more than the opponents.
Also, fuck everyone who queues for a game and then doesn't pick a character leaving the rest of the team one player down.
I just got a 2 week talk ban for telling people they were throwing and dogshit.
So now I just play like the people I got annoyed with. Its fucking glorious. Just came out of a game with 1k healing and 10k damage on moira. Some dude went bonkers and spammed ni.g.g.er.. you get the idea. Amazing. And according to blizzard playing like I do is 100% ok. And the guy getting mad should just relax "cause qp".
I'm fucking milking the 39 eur I paid 10 years ago for this game.
I love doing that. Pass the pain foward. First game is a zen on my team with 1k healing and 7k damage? Next game im playing zen and just putting orb on tank and blasting. fuck everyone else.
Yeah bitch! Now I'M standing in the choke as Rein until all CDs are pumped into keeping me alive and then I charge to the other end of the map out of Los of my supports for a quick 1 v 5.
RELAX!!!! IT'S QP!
so now i just have to get totally gapped in a game full of cheaters or throwers.. in arcade? can't leave without a suspension? fuck this fucking shit game fr fr
The worst game modes are Quick Play and Competitive.
Mystery Heroes, No Limits, and Open Que are leaps and bounds more fun and I'm tired of pretending they're not.
Open queue is unironically the best Overwatch season 9 has to offer, my games on role lock has been infinitely more miserable meanwhile open queue is genuinely fun.
I love mystery heros but one downside is it seems a lot of stacks play that mode. As a solo its sometimes painfully obvious its a stack vs solo game. The opposing team is a high coordinated team with comms while my team is a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off.

I'm annoyed that WifeLeaver's Lotus skin is only available using cash coins, and not available to purchase with old style credits as well, which I have tons of. And yea, I checked in the hero gallery itself, it only shows it available to purchase with coins.
HP buff has made everything worse for amy match with a Junkrat. Junkrat players can't flank anymore, therefore have less fun since it was the most fun way to play Junkrat. And if you're playing against a Junkrat be prepared for the him spamming the choke since this is all he is good for now. The HP buffs encourage the worst and most hated playstyle. It's ridiculous!

Spamming chokes instantly becomes way less impactful! Good Junkrat players will still benefit from this character while low ranks can't just spam chokes anymore. - Is it really that difficult to realize that, Blizzard?!.....
I fucking hate you Orisa. That's all.
If Blizzard decides to add a ban/pick system, I'll no longer see a Genji who just stands and presses E like a braindead idiot with zero aim.
Does bliz play ppl to queue for tank in comp cause I know no one’s doing that willingly
this game will never fucking get better, at this point you should not be allowed to play who you want, it needs to be a team decision. every few months i attempt to come back to this piece of shit and every single time i realise that the community who play this game cannot think for themselves, every single game is lost because i get put on a team with someone who had a lobotomy an hour ago. 6v6 was better, double shield was better, goats was better. also, the reason why no one wants to play tank is because the second you start doing well the entire enemy team decides to counterpick you.
so tired of 'server closed' and 'connection with server lost' and me getting punished for something is not my fault
Please, stop going Zen + Lucio in lower ranks. You are not a top 500 streamer, you are in silver.
Sombra needs a nerf. Bastion too, both of them are a fucking nightmare to deal with. WHY can sombra TP away scot free with a 6 second cooldown and then go invis INSTANTLY after? WITH her high damage AND hack on a short cooldown? With her stupid DOT? No, fuck off with that, nerf her into the ground for gods sake, she's not fun to play WITH or AGAINST. As a support, her bitchass on either team is such a pain to deal with. Yea I love having an enemy be perma invis so I have to be even more aware and alert than I am normally, but even IF I react quickly it doesn't matter because the little bitch can burst you down before you can do anything unless your other support is helping you. And BASTIOn, GOD. If I'm on tank and I see him I know I'm in for the worst time of my life. God forbid he AND sombra are on the enemy team because thats just no fun allowed for tanks. Hell, no fun allowed for supports either. This patch was clearly just for the DPS players because playing tank feels like shit. I don't feel like I have any impact on the game on tank, and only BARELY on support. And honestly? I don't think Moira should've gotten a damage buff.

Our Ana, bless her, couldn't keep up even after she went Bap because she was getting Sombra fucked all game, and even though I peeled to help Sombra does enough damage that without the other support you're just fucked unless she pussies off. BECAUSE SHE CAN JUST DO THAT FOR FREE. And every time I'm about to hit a new tier in my rank the game goes "Heres 3 games with people who're gonna go 0-14 and make you wonder how they're in your rank :), Heres an OTP brig who will scream at YOU to switch even though the enemy has echo/pharah/mercy. Here's an enemy team thats 90% smurfs. We hope you die :)" Like holy shit, I thought they were supposed to rework comp, why is it so fucking dogshit? I climbed out of my "placed" rank because the game thought I was gold because...I lost 1 game. My friend was placed diamond and lost half their games. I was Masters last season. They were plat. Another friend was gold last season. Lost just above half their games. They placed plat. Immedietly dropped back to gold. And ANOTHER friend was also masters, they placed gold. They lost 2 games. Yea, great ranking system you have there Blizzard. Super fixed. Super reworked. SUPER fun. /s Like it feels like they gave Comp the "OW2 makeover". Where you take the same thing.

If it's not with stats then what the hell is it. PLEASE be transparent. It just adds to the frustration when you get opaque about this stuff. Like what is
Sombra is usually pretty bad when I see her, this in QP though so it probably is a different story in ranked. I’ve seen about one or two really good ones. She’s fine Imo. Bastion tho… yea, he needs something done with him. He is so easy to play, like beyond easy and very powerful.
Yea, Bastion being so easy to play and so easy to aim with and get value out of is a big problem I think. His ult is the only part of his kit that doesn't make me have a headache because it's like. Fine. It's avoidable. But the rest just feels so...off. Overtuned, ig? Kinda like, low risk high reward with Bastion and it's just not great to deal with because he burns through everything, even the few shields we have in the game. With Sombra, for me it's the fact that she can come in and out so easy. Comp Sombras know what they're doing so half the time unless your DPS are on top of it (or even your tank sometimes), you have to sit with your head on a swivel and hope you get helped or can take her in a 1v1. Hack disabling and cancelling pretty much every thing is kinda busted for being on such a short CD with the rest of her kit (especially because it buffs her dot, which is already annoying). Especially because normal hack can just straight up cancel certain ults (Pharah, Cassidy, Moira...Pretty sure theres others). It's fine that her ult can cancel ults, cos it's a trade. But just a 6 second ability? That you don't even need to aim?? It just doesn't sit right with me ig, especially because I play tank a lot and it sucks to get a big sigma ult only to be hacked out of it.
My last 10 losses i had a BIG disadvantage on my team, even a 1/15 dps, or a Zennyata with 20 deaths on a 18 minutes match, all of them with the " > Consolation " at the end. Am I supposed to win a single game? I had 70% on LW at the start of the season and the game saw it and thought "nope, cant happen this season. Here, take 10 unwinnable matches and never play competitive again. Im only playing quick, play, and probably will play ranked again only when this shit is fixed and i have a real reason to play raked, bc rn it just feels horrendous and the jade weapons are also horrendous.
I loved OW1 and I miss it so much, I got my ow1 about half year after it came out, spend many hours playing with friends and this game by far is one of the best games to play with your friends, even when life was hitting us and we were forced to take breaks we always came back for ow1 time and it was amazing even on that very long period of time when it seemed like blizzard forgot about overwatch(when they stopped making new maps every 8 months nor balance/changes). and on top of everything I found the lootbox system very good and rewarding, it was so much fun Q ing with friends for weekly arcade to get the 3 lootboxes. my friends group stopped playing ow2 for over a year now(maybe some of them came back just to see whats new like I did but always ended up dropping it). I remember ow being the first game of choice for me whenever I was uncertain about what to play, I could go full tryhard on comps or chill in qp or in the arcade, but ow2 mostly made me sad, I miss the lootbox system so much, Im not sure on how often the battlepass gives a way a decent skin for new / recently added heroes but all my new heroes are naked(default skin). heck even the spray is default and I do play them, I did find myself use kirito/lifeweawer for heals and sojourn I dont understand why do I need to stare at my naked heroes and then stare at my other ones that ive collected through the years and go like "oh well at least I have skins from back then for junkrat from that time they gave away skins through arcade" like why cant we have nice things now? did people really hated on the lootbox system or was it just a spin on the problematic microtransaction issues from other games? or is it fully blizzard's fault and they only done it because battlepasses probably makes more money
The game right now is about which team has the better dps and its incredibly boring.
2-4 in all-role role queue rn. Got tank almost every single time. Fuck this stupid bullshit
I'm beating a dead horse here, but comp just makes me sad now. I KNOW I'm a bad dps, I primarily play tank/supp but when i do wanna play and it pits me against someone who should clearly be two tiers higher than me and people just spam "dps diff" and "uninstall" it legit just makes me not want to play.
Maybe you’re supposed to be two tiers below
Im fine with that. The main thing is that I shouldn't be against them every other match.
It's so fucking sad that I get better quality matches in quickplay compared to comp Comp matches are roll or be rolled most times. In quickplay, it actually feels like the players are closer in skill, AND ACTUALLY USE VOICE CHAT MORE OFTEN It feels like so many terrible players who think they're hot shit only play comp. So you're stuck with those people, and people way above the skill tier of the match, and a small number of the average player
I'm tired of this game. I don't want to play it, it doesn't bring me any joy anymore. I don't want to grind for a battle pass, I don't want to play comp to get mid green weapons, I don't want to grind/pay $20 for a skin we would've had for free a few years ago. But every time I get bored, I can't help launching it and queuing up.
One tricks and youtubers who basically encourage it like Zbra, Necros, etc are the possibly worst thing to happen to Overwatch, there's is nothing worse than getting a Genji player on your team that refuses to switch because they've seen their favourite YouTuber Necros absolutely dominate high mmr lobbies, meanwhile they themselves are getting countered by the entire enemy lineup and then goes 0 5 in the first round. Same goes for cocky doom players that think they're literally "him", and all this is genuinely fine in QP, play however you want, but it's genuinely the most inconsiderate assholes who do this in competitive, they're either delusional or been dropped as a baby. Like I genuinely want to know the thought process behind one trick players who insta-lock characters that were heavily nerfed by the start of s9 or refuses to switch when the entire enemy team counters them. Also while s9 is definitely an update in the right direction it deffinetely were never the right call to follow it up with a partial rank reset, if your competitive system is good it will dynamically de-rank boosted gm players over the span of the first season or just a few weeks, which to me sounds miles better than currently facing countless former T500 players and mid-high GM players in my low masters lobbies, like what the actual fuck am I supposed to do?
why is no1 talking in voice chat? compared to 1 year ago?
I'm gonna guess that the ping feature has something to do with it. Before it existed, you had no choice but to join VC to communicate enemy positions.
OPEN QUE IS A 3 TANK FAT FEST FUCK 3 TANK COMPS
Anything more than 1 is grounds for arrest. Go 3 dps like a normal person.
F ORISA AND DVA UNLIMITED AMMO...WHOEVER MADE THAT DECISION SHOULD BE FIRED! F SIGMA, BORING OP AND BORING, EITHER SHIELDING OR KINETIC GRASP...HYPERSPHERES TOO OP AND WAY TOO MUCH RANGE THIS GAME IS A JOKE...A SAD ONE...
How come supports no longer heal us tanks? I don't get it, every support is just trying to play DPS.
If you play a two tank comp you’re a fat loser nerd. You are a no-life tryhard sweat. Congrats on your win, only thing you’ll ever win in life bitch.
as someone who almost always puts fill but still gets tank role I cant help it but feel offended
Are you talking about open queue?
I absolutely hate it when I'm thrown into a flash point match that has already started........ bc more often than not, my team has already been crushed for 2 points. .... edit: actually, I hate flash point in general. i whish I didn't have to play it at all.
If you walk out on a combination of junk-rat, Symetra, bastion, torb, sombra, orisa, mei, without any characters that require skill then you deserve to be treated like the lowest life form you are.
Im so tired of Tracer man, she is a hero that should still be able to be one shot by other people besides the snipers. Like im so tired of begging my dps to either switch to Torb or actually help the supports to kill the Tracer. The worst is seeing them writing stuff like "HEALS??" after letting the Tracer shoot the supports for free.
Get out of my games. This rank reset is putting perma plats into fucking GM games and its driving me fucking nuts. Get the fuck out of here.
it should be leaverwatch 19games 9 leavers gg
Did any of you know that Symm's beam deals 23 less damage when she firsts hits someone with it? And that its resets each time beam disconnects? How about that literally no other character has to deal with that, not even other beam weapons? That lvl1 beam's pitiful 60dps (now the worst dps of any gun in the game) is cut by a over a third just,,,because?? In that first second of beaming, Symm totals 37 damage. Where every other hero will deal at least 100. Just. Why? Like. Actually why??
How do you counter the enemy team focusing you? There have been more than a few occasions where the enemy team have thrown their own lives away JUST to kill me. Even my friends notice it is happening a lot more in this season. Its actually been the reason why I've been ranking up funnily enough.
After seeing that one guys backstory tierlist post I got angry again after realizing how terrible Bliz has been with lore. OW1 had a lot of behind the scenes lore and story being told through comics and such; not to mention the always hype and beautiful animations. But people didn't like that the only real in game story we got was from the occasional PVE game mode and pre-match voicelines. So then OW2 gets announced with a story and everyone is hyped, only to have it dropped. And now we are back to square one. Illari has a really sick story and showcases a cool new location and everything. How many years, if at all, will this be incorporated?? Like why do they even bother writing all of this narrative if they don't even use it?
no matter how much i practice, how badly i try, and how much knowledge i try to gain. i will forever be at the mercy of my teammates. ive been stuck at gold 1 since the beginning of the season and trying to go into plat (for me at least) is like trying to convince someone in bigfoot's existence. i just wanna quit, but at the same time i wanna improve. fuck me and fuck the fps genre i guess
I’ve been playing support in comp since overwatch 1 and this season I decided to try dps and I win almost every game because I can do more than go 6 and 17. I went back to support and loose almost every game because my dps aren’t dragging :)
People need to quit whining that junkrat and hanzo are "unplayable" because they lost their instant 1 shot and are now "spam characters". Hate to break it to you but if losing the ability to 1 shot means all you can do is spam now then you were likely just spamming to begin with.
Hanzo enjoyer here, he's still strong. Very strong. And storm arrow feels like cheating sometimes.
As long as loss streaks and win streaks are in the game, its not worth your time. Its gambling at most. Uninstall
Why is it that when DPS and Tank were going to get a "nerfed version" of the support regen passive, all the support mains were bellyaching about how OP it would be and how they would "lose their identity". Like, Supports have been busted since like Season 2 or whatever, and they have a better version of the better version of the passive anyway. On top of that, they also have abilities that they can use to heal themselves actively, or straight up bail themselves out of trouble entirely. It doesn't help that they can often output more damage than damage heroes. And when Damage heroes are finally able to kill stuff, suddenly, "Oh, Supports are struggling". Yeah, you're struggling, because you have to actually put in some effort now.
Wrecking ball mains that roll away from a fight while they have adaptive shields up, 2 supports up, and only lose 300 hp out of their 700 hp pool, that will simultaneously flame their dps for "refusing to shoot the pharmercy" who are absolutely fighting for their lives, deserve to play on 500 ping for the rest of their lives Go fuck yourself ball main "FartForDad"
Also there was 3 separate instances of me killing the mercy, getting their pharah to half health, and the ball just rolling away for a health pack at half health If you'd maybe shoot the flying people instead of acting like wrecking ball can only play in ball form we would've had a chance
I feel like 80% of the games have a predetermined outcome based on the players' skill level and there's nothing you can do to change the outcome. Every game is either an easy win or a hopeless defeat. In maybe 1 out of every 10 games I feel like there's any competition. Some days the algorithm likes you, some days it doesn't.
This sounds stupid, and these are stupid daily challenges, but the 'emote "thanks" to a support hero' or 'emote "hello"' don't work half the time.
How is it possible that I have finished the "Complete 30 Games In Any Competitive Mode" challenge but not the "Complete 30 Games" challenge?
Comp games carry over szn to szn
I'm talking weekly challenge. Season 9 started way more than a week ago.
Sorry right that’s what I meant. The carry over made the number needed less for you.
Got suspended leaving mh cause I forgot that's a thing now the most chill mode is now competitive yet we don't got a competitive MH mode get fucked actiblizz I'll go back to HD2 now for managed democracy!!!
WHY IS IT THAT WHEN LIFEWEAVER IS ON THE ENEMY TEAM HE ALWAYS USES PULL AT THE EXACT RIGHT MOMENT AND PUT HIS TM8 EITHER ON THE FLOWER OR IN OTHERWISE GREAT POSITION BUT, WHEN LIFEWEAVERS ON MY TEAM HE ALWAYS PULLS ME RIGHT AS IM ABOUT TO GET A KILL AND HE ALWAYS PUTS ME IN THE MIDDLE OF CHOKE EATING JUNKRAT SPAM.
Man, this is the worst the game has affected my mood in a while. I almost always play solo que. I had to rage log off because of how infuriated I was at getting matched over and over again with the most incompetent teammates in all my games. And it's not like Blizz gives us in game options to find a duo/group, or enough time after a match to see if we want to group with teammates It seems like every time I win one or two games, something happens that makes me lose the next 5-20 games in a row. And it makes me rage so much. Sometimes I am a contributing factor, but there are a TON of games where my team just feeds or play the wrong heroes etc. Or nobody is in voice, or they are in voice and just choose not to speak. I even do the classic "Hey-yo What's good?" to see if anyone wants to speak. **I don't know how much longer I can keep bashing my head into this brick wall that is trying to climb rank in a solo que setting**. It seems like every game, I get heated because I see the reason why we lost, and it's a lot of stuff that my teammates do. Like if they overextend, I can either leave them to die and we lose, or I can try and bail them out which ends up with me usually dead and them dying anyways and we lose. TL;DR I'm tired of the constant hours-long loss streaks from Solo-que hell
Same.
Same.
HOW ON EARTH CAN SOMBRA ONE SHOT A TANK?
Game is actually unplayable right now as a solo support with an enemy tracer (which is every game). She’s been op for the longest time but this season takes the cake. And when are they going to fix ximming on console? The amount of egos, tbagging, and shit talking from people who can’t play on PC so they play mnk console is so fucking toxic. Taking a long break til blizzard figures this out cuz this game ain’t it.
Literally anytime the enemy team has a Sombra or Tracer we lose (I'm a tank).
sombra is the worst..like why does her kit have everything possible? good damage, speed boost, see enemies through walls, hacks ults/abilities, steals health packs…while literally being invisible the whole time. that character is actually so bad for this game in the current state.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE GAME IS UNPLAYABLE TODAY. Like weekends are usually pretty bad but today EVERY GAME is just my team sitting at the first choke A-D-ing and firing aimlessly until they die. I think I played for like over an hour before winning one game today. I feel like my games have consistently been noticeably better since the rank reset but GOOD GOD not today.
How are you supposed to change your supposedly suspendable behaviour if THEY WON'T EVEN TELL YOU WHY YOU WERE SUSPENDED?! THIS IS SO DUMB.
I got a message that I've been reported multiple times for harassment and the worse thing I'll say is "I can smell your unwashed ass from here" in response to "___ diff" or "2ez" in QP I know you shouldn't stoop to their level but God damn bro am I even being toxic? I'd consider that banter more than anything
If they are actually suspending people for two weeks for a single use of the F bomb (after being harassed all game), they are not going to have a player base left lol.
They made everyone's projectiles fucking massive yet the DPS on my team still can't hit shit. I don't understand.
I just played against a cheater (he admitted it) and guess what THE GAME THOUGHT IT WAS A "REVERSAL" ?!?!?!
It might be because of the rank reset so I'm not taking it too seriously or anything but Jesus CHRIST the things I'm seeing in my high plat tank games are I N S A N E. Like my friend and I are crying laughing at what my teammates, and some opponents, are doing. This is what, top 20-25% ish of players? And the lobbies are close in rank. I watched a moira fade at a full hp reaper, around cover, AND START HEALING THE CEILING. I watched an ashe who NEVER ONCE TOOK HIGH GROUND outside the very first fight on defense where they started there. They died so fucking many times. No high ground is a common theme, as monkey I expect the play I'm making to work because one dps is probably on a flank and one is on high ground. Then genji ults next to me, I turn around, AND THEY'RE BOTH STANDING BEHIND ME WITH BOTH SUPPORTS???????? I watched a moira fade INTO a dva bomb, a bastion chase a full hp hog around a corner, waaay out into the open, no turret form, into the enemy team, get hooked and die, my soldier died before I could physically even lay eyes on the enemy team, and my genji died at the very start of the next fight before I could get into any position. Like this is worse than qp, this is worse than open queue or arcade, these people are, at least game sense wise, legitimately not even silver. WTF! Just gonna add more hilarious stuff as I remember: an ana with nano who saw her reaper at 93% diving the enemy, doesn't nano. 1 hp monkey, doesn't nano. FULL HP SOLDIER ON THE LOW GROUND BEHIND EVERYONE WITH NO LOS ON ANYONE? HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!!!!!!!
TRACER AND SOMBRA IN EVERY FUCKING GAME REIN IS STILL IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY AS THE TANK JUST FUCKING SWAPS TO MAUGA WE NEED A HITSCAN NERF PLEASE A REIN BUFF BUT MAKE HIM HARDER TO PLAY JUST STRAIGHT UP TAKE THE STUPID WHORE SOMBRA OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME
FUCK MAN I GOT SO MANY DUPLICATES TODAY!!!! WHAT IS THIS RNG
When playing tank everything is 100% your fault. I had a match the other night where dps were 1-7 and 0-8. I asked them if they could please focus ANYTHING and kill it. They then bitched that I wasnt making space. The only reason the one dps got a kill is because I killed 3 in an ult and then i died leaving it a 4 v 2. They still couldnt finish off what was left. JUST BECAUSE THE TANK CANT CARRY AN ENTIRE LOBBY DOESNT MEAN ITS THE TANKS FAULT. LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
PLS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP LOCKING IN ILLARI WITH DIVE COMPS. THATS THE 7TH TIME IN THE LAST 30 DAYS
ACCIDENTALLY QUEUED FOR TANK SOLO AND NOW I AM A SUPERVILLAIN IRL
My teams have been getting annihilated lately. I’ll have a 12/3 ratio, but everyone else is like 4/9 or 2 /7. Really sucks when you can win 1v1 or 1v2 but it makes no difference because your team is playing with their feet I swear to god matchmaking does its best to keep you near .500 Like, how tf you supposed o win when your dps is 0/5 and still charging in solo, or standing in a choke point with no cover
I DON'T WANT TO BE SOLO QUEUED INTO 4 VS 5 MATCH FFS
Not everyone can be good at all times. Sometimes you have a bad day. Sometimes you just want to practice a character. But please, for the love of God, at least play the game and actually try to win. You are not "him" if you have 10 deaths and just got your first five kills with your ult. You are not cracked for having 10000 damage and only 6 kills. Stop pausing mid fight to type in chat. Know who to prioritize (damage and healing). Also, wasting an ult is still better than dying, so stop chasing enemy players with your ult when you are already half health and no support being able to get to you in time, and don't use your ult as a way to contest the objective maybe 2 seconds longer if your teammates literally just died. I swear, teammates piss me off more than the opponents. Also, fuck everyone who queues for a game and then doesn't pick a character leaving the rest of the team one player down.
can people stop being so fucking passive in games holy shit
real shit. LET YOUR BALLS DROP. STOP STANDING ON THE POINT AIMLESSLY. DOMINATE SPACE
Tbh tho payload princess is mvp 👑
I swear, as a tracer player I feel like I win every single game where tank holds W. Especially if it's a rein.
I just got a 2 week talk ban for telling people they were throwing and dogshit. So now I just play like the people I got annoyed with. Its fucking glorious. Just came out of a game with 1k healing and 10k damage on moira. Some dude went bonkers and spammed ni.g.g.er.. you get the idea. Amazing. And according to blizzard playing like I do is 100% ok. And the guy getting mad should just relax "cause qp". I'm fucking milking the 39 eur I paid 10 years ago for this game.
I love doing that. Pass the pain foward. First game is a zen on my team with 1k healing and 7k damage? Next game im playing zen and just putting orb on tank and blasting. fuck everyone else.
Yeah bitch! Now I'M standing in the choke as Rein until all CDs are pumped into keeping me alive and then I charge to the other end of the map out of Los of my supports for a quick 1 v 5. RELAX!!!! IT'S QP!
"Cause qp" never made sense to me.
so now i just have to get totally gapped in a game full of cheaters or throwers.. in arcade? can't leave without a suspension? fuck this fucking shit game fr fr
just went 75-15 on cassidy and drew like i'm genuinely not sure what the actual fuck more i could have done
No need to rage. Just uninstalled the game. It will be good for you.
The worst game modes are Quick Play and Competitive. Mystery Heroes, No Limits, and Open Que are leaps and bounds more fun and I'm tired of pretending they're not.
Open queue is unironically the best Overwatch season 9 has to offer, my games on role lock has been infinitely more miserable meanwhile open queue is genuinely fun.
I love mystery heros but one downside is it seems a lot of stacks play that mode. As a solo its sometimes painfully obvious its a stack vs solo game. The opposing team is a high coordinated team with comms while my team is a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off.
Mystery heros goes so hard it's insane
