Overwatch

Got 44 after my placement, was a shocking starting 3 games where my team were just not paying any attention to team composition so were going on attacks with no tanks and no support, I was the only one who would take a healer so was nothing more I could do.

Oh well, can only go up right?!
 
Competitive play has to be the most frustrating experience to date in overwatch for me. I went 7/3 in the placement games, then had a mix which I expected then had a streak of getting put in teams where people wouldn't pick tanks/support. Play them yourself I hear you say, well I can't play both so usually ended up as Lucio/Mercy getting steamrolled by teams with balanced comps.

So basically it's just quick play, the same idiots from quick play pick stupid heroes and never change, expect this time its more annoying because you lose ranks :E

To be fair, Overwatch is a massive spam fest. What do you expect on public servers?
 
I thought people might want to play more sensible comps because there was some reward other than xp for winning, I dont think everyone is gonna play Mercy/Rhinehardt/Lucio/Soldier/Pharah/Roadhog but 3 Symmetras on attack maps just isn't fun
 
But do the 'idiots' generally sink to the bottom and you're left playing with those of your own ability? That's what I assumed happens in ranked?
 
You get dragged down like quicksand in my experience so far. The games with you and the other guys were so much better, I should have called it quits then!
 
Agree with the above, I think I'm going to resist playing much competitive solo - having even a couple of friends in the group at least ensures you'll have a half-decent team comp assuming you're willing to pick roles that are needed...

Might be the idea but think the matchmaker is still having issues sorting out whats what. Not easy with the amount of characters, you could be really bad with most so get a low mmr but then dominate with 1 or 2. Or only play 1 or 2 constantly well and have a high mmr but be a burden to some teams who cant accommodate you. Had a few games with 1 guy who played nothing but bastion on offense and defense. Im sure he did good in some games to get to 59 but he was beyond useless in the 3 games i played with and against him.

Time should help, we're still getting matched with people fresh out of placement games who dont have a solid ranking yet.

I can echo this when playing a game yesterday, The opposition had a decent team composition but had someone playing tracer who was absolutely awful. They then mixed it up a bit and the guy playing tracer switched to Pharah and their Pharah switched to Tracer. They were both insane in their new roles but were god awful in the previous ones.
 
Ranked is definitely a step up in quality, but also a step up in moany man-babies.

Bit team comps are everything. I've noticed a lot of defense games using Lucio and Mercy together and attacking is all about damage per second.

Somone had a go at me as well for playing a ranked match when my 'level' (not rank) was 'only' 45. I ended the match with 3 gold medals and a POTM defending as Junkrat on Route 66....Ha.

Yeah some guy was raging that no one under level 100 should be allowed to play ranked in one game I as in! Might have been the guy ****ging off AndyCr15 as Mercy, but he was doing fine and at least he picked a support ! This guy went Hanzo and could t even hit anyone with his messed up hit boxes
 
I got rank 53 on the PTR ranked, (What ever PTR means?) not bothered playing ranked on European servers yet, my experience was so bad playing ranked on the PTR servers.

Just been watching Dyrus on Twitch best piggy play I have seen, insane hooks.
 
Some guy was hooking my Pharah on Numbani last night constantly and for a brief time I thought he was aim-botting or something as he was grabbing me in the weirdest places.

Looking at the killcam I still wasn't sure. It just looked like ridiculous pre-cognition. I wasn't just floating around above him, this was as I was boosting at full speed.

I mean, I've had some good hooks myself before, but most of them were inconsistent flukes.
