Yeah it's harsh, at least in CS it was a trueskill based system, so your rank was based on the skill level of the person you engage with, so as long as you maintain a decent K/D ratio against higher rank players - you rank up, and visa versa..

With overwatch, your rank seems to be based squarely on wins/losses - it's a bit harsh when you rank down, after getting POTD and 40-2...

Well they are avoiding anything K/D based as they want it to be a team game first supposedly so i kinda get that but in practice its just penalizing fair players along with the dickheads

The way I see it, a system like that can only really work fairly if you're playing with 6 friends in a team - then it would be ok, but as randoms - it's destined to be a frustration imo.

even then as it stands if your opponent has someone who leaves then even if you and your pals win you only get 5% of a skill rating boost.
 
finally reached level 25 and could enter comp mode and only had 1 out 5 games a win -.- absolut mess, no one do the objectives and moan about each others skills... makes you not want to play at all.. doesnt help when you get matched against full groups or 3/3 groups..... your bound to loose
 
Had one of my own team mates leave yesterday during over time, we still managed to win yet still got the massively reduced reward, seems particularly harsh as it obviously didn't make the win easier.

6 wins in comp today, 1 loss...... i ended the day a rank down cos all the wins had ****ing leavers

This will be fixed this week, as I've said in the thread previously don't bother with comp until it's been fixed, else it's just a frustrating affair.
 
Well after placing at 48 and then falling to 42 I've clawed my way back to 47... It's a rough ride though... Would really like to finish the season +50 but who knows if it'll be possible

My personal favourite type of jerk you meet trying to solo/small group queue is the one who suddenly speaks up about 30 seconds before "DEFEAT" appears to tell everyone how we lost because of this player or that player...
 
Anyone tried playing in premade? I o ly got one friend and as we go as group we end up against groups of 3/4 wich feels very unfair tbh.. last nigth we even had 1 person ask thrue the whole match..... need a vote kick button for idiots!
 
Should be level 70 by end of the week - currently 65 so aiming for that. So many toxic players however which sucks, been DuoQ'ing and also some full teams

Indeed - I saw Sty's video where he basically says you guys finally tried playing the same competitive as the rest of us (i.e. not in a 6-man pre-made) and it seemed to come as quite a shock! Fair play to him for talking about it though :p

Yeah, we're duoQ'ing most days now - had some great games yesterday but my lord some interesting people along the way

Two games this morning, both had idiots and further losses for me.

First, a guy is moaning about 2 players not being good at their characters. After a couple of minutes of us not pushing the payload very far on Dorado 'Right, that's it' he says, switches to Mei and just tries to wall us in to spawn as often as he could. I did of course explain to him over voice comms he was being a dick.

Annoyingly he was on the opposition the next game for another loss. We have a widowmaker and a Hanzo, all other four of us asking for one of them to please be something else, anything... but no...

That's pretty rubbish. I had similar last night, 45 - 41. Lost all my games in a row then rage quite after the last defeat when we had 4 Roadhogs doing nothing ... :(

Also had 2 or maybe 3 guys (boys) shouting "kuck you (n word)" in team chat, at least I think that was the word. No idea.

Hopefully goes better tonight :cool:

Edit: Also sweet bike Andy ! :D

well you can only do quickplay for the first 25 levels anyway really unless you just wanna play vs ai (whyyyy)

then you can choose competitive.... if they ever fix its flaws it might be fun
 
Incoming Competitive changes and Pharah's Mum now confirmed

Looking at the changes im not seeing anything about the leaver problem..... worrying

So, I dropped to I think 35... then had a few wins, but all but one someone left, so no XP for me.... Back up to 38 at least after a decent grouping this evening with Jimbu and a random I met.
