XBL games are about as vaguely coordinated as PTR 222 is right now. I had a hilarious instance last night as Orisa on Blizzard World (PTR) where a bunch of my gold teammates decided to retreat all the way to point A after the first fight instead of resuming defensive positions near the statue. I was still tanking near the statue and my team instead of rallying to me or providing support instead decided to just watch as I died without support. I then got flamed for having the audacity to hold the choke point instead of setting up on point and waiting for the enemy team of 6 to come in with full resources to contest the point. Naturally, as soon as I died the other 5 quickly followed suit without a tank to protect them because they were still scrambling to reposition against the incoming death ball.
My team wouldnāt even pressure the enemy spawn when they captured the payload and lost the second fight. Doomfist was trying to snipe with knuckle busters from behind Orisa Shield and flamed me for poor Shield positionā¦Gold players are weird lol itās like herding cats.
Play with your main tanks, kids. They probably know what theyāre doing, especially if they outclass you by 300-400 SR and are in a tier above you.
What, I already said iām gold, mr. talks on an alt, itās my wife thatās high diamond. Hell, we donāt even know that thatās you.
Until you find an argument that actually makes sense Iām not going to bother with you.
And no, balance, 4 dps teams, etc, are not good arguments for taking away player choice. And you STILL havenāt given a good answer about why 6 stacks canāt role switch on the fly.
Arcade MMR is retarded, i constantly get put up against Diamond+'s as gold, you canāt get Achievements in arcade, and thereās NO GUARANTEE it will stay permanent.
I had the same experience of facing Diamonds as a Gold in the current system already. Dunno thatās going to change much. But by that logic you should also have Diamonds on your own team, too. Best thing to do is learn from them. I can understand itās pretty frustrating when youāre just trying to unwind, though, so Iāll concede that point to you.
Never really payed attention to the team composition when aiming for achievements, personally, but theyāre typically earned through your own skill, not othersā.
And if it isnāt permanent, then there will be people creating numerous Workshops to make it permanent. Blizzard makes questionable decisions all the time, but that one would be big enough to bleed their wallets. For that reason, I canāt see them making it a temporary mode, but only time will tell, I suppose.
Just moving it to arcade will run people off honestly, but thereās no point in arguing about that, we wonāt see that til months down the line.
They really should have just done 1-1-1 and 3 flex spots and just dealt with trolls from there, it doesnāt kill other functional team comps like this does, while still allowing mains to main and giving you some form of structure since you will never be without at least 1 tank and 1 healer which is where a lot of the problems lie.
Again, you people need to retire this āargumentā that is disguised as another to say, āmy team is bad and if it wasnāt for them Iād be top 500.ā
Diamond + every single season i played including the last season where I ended in plat and havenāt picked up the game since because of piss poor balance issues and goats.
At least i dont talk smack behind a private profile.
I mean, Iāve told you Iām gold multiple times, only reason my profile is private is ITāS THE DEFAULT and thereās zero reason to change it.
If you dropped to Plat thatās your fault not ābalance and goatsā, maybe you should play better. 2595 isnāt even dropping to plat, thatās firmly planted in plat.
They probably didnāt want to risk OWL switching from GOATS to just Sombra GOATS (which 1-1-1 would allow). But the balance changes have proved GOATS has some massive cracks in its armor now, so IDK. All I know is that solo-tanking/healing is fun on occasion, but every match would be a bit much.
It gives control tho? Iām a DPS main who finally gets to play DPS without feeling like a jerk whoās negatively impacting my team or feeling as if Iām not playing my role. That sounds like control to me for me to be able to pick my role with less downsides.
So you are ignoring 95% of my playtime and focusing on the season that I put in a whopping 7 whole hours into? Wow that is very intelligent, especially since I capped out at 3100 SR in that seasonā¦lol
