Great News everyone,
2-2-2 is great. You can now play hero you never played before, be totally sh*t with them and there’s absolutely nothing your team can do about it!!
Playing as a healer today was fun, I totally felt that when both our DPS were unable to kill anything, there was absolutely nothing I could do about it! No more switching to adapt, no more counter pick, it’s just a big hope the other people in your team can play as a team, which is just not happening.
Can we get the option to Q for off season competitive now? Don’T want to play that B*S 2-2-2 beta for the next 2 week. I might just take a break from this game, it’s just not fun.
So far, in every single game it was a pain, getting rolled or just having carry on your team. If you want to handle thing yourself, you have to wait 5-10 minutes just to play a game.
Thanks

It’s so easy to carry on DPS now it compensates for it. The bad DPS will fall don’t worry, they cant q as support to boost their rating. maybe wait to play?

If you cant influence match on your hero and role, its your problem. Not problem of your team mates. You are classic example of player who like to find scapegot for your own bad performance.

30 minutes ago we had widow with 3 kills for entire match ha
There is absolutely nothing I can do as a healer when the DPS are just flanking all game, saying mean thing in chat all game, just complaining and blaming others. You can’t actually ‘‘handle thing yourself’’.
Even if I get 18k heals per game but the gold elim is 3, there’s nothing you can do. That’s why 2-2-2 will never be a thing at lower level of gameplay.

These DPS are the same rank as you and so are the enemy team’s DPS. If you want to climb you need to be an advantage to the team over the enemy team. Even if the DPS are awful a good healer or tank can offset the match in your favor.
Win some, lose some.
top 500s are able to carry themselves up the ranks despite bad teammates- if you were better you would be able to as well.

Fun Fact: The gold tier is full of smurfs/level 25-75 accounts, boosters and fun stuff like this.
I don’t care how much you want to say it’s not true, but it’s actually a fact. This game lack of punishment for cheaters, there’s a few bans here and there but honestly, you can just AFK the entire game for like 15 games in a row, nothing will happen.
I main Sombra on regular comp, I have heard every single insult you can think about, I had game where I was absolutely shi*t, where I was not doing anything. People reported me, multiple time, people teamed up against me multiple game, reporting me an insane amount of time. You know what? 17 seasons of being bad, reported and being a dick once in a while in chat and I have never receive a ban.
This is a proof that honestly, as much as you can think they are doing something, the problem is just too big for them to handle. They can’t baby sit the amount of player they have. People know that and abuse of it.
If there was a punishment once in a while, maybe people would stop to being dicks to each other. But until then, people will still do whatever they want, whenever they want.
Like honestly, with this forum post, I could possibly get banned on other games. Here, if I get ban it will be like a forum ban or something. YAY!

Which rank are you exactly?
I completely agree that there’s a huge problem with smurfs in this game. Blizzard wouldn’t do anything about it even if they wanted to because each new account is additional profit on the game.
I say “even if they wanted to” because Blizzard has actually said that smurfing is not against the rules even though it’s a textbook definition of abusing the system to gain an unfair advantage. I think the reason they hold that opinion is because there’s no way for them to actually confirm if an account is a smurf or not so all they can do is hope the ranking system notices smurfs and boosts them to their deserved rank.
That said- there’s still a similar chance of you or the enemy team getting an alt or a smurf. As frustrating as it can be when a smurf ruins the balance of the match you will statistically get as many smurfs on your team as the enemy team does. Meaning it still comes down to playing well.
Do placements then stay on whatever role you’re best at after, it’s not difficult.
I suck at tank so I queue as support after placing in all 3. I’m pretty sure this is how others are dealing.
2-2-2 is as I expected - it’s great! Playing main tank I’m actually getting healed! This is glorious!

At the moment everyone has incorrect MMR for each role, so you will see a lot of people playing with heroes/roles at higher ranks they don’t belong to.
Give it a month and the players MMR for each role will be more accurate and result in better quality games.
Unfortunately since beta season mmr is seperate than our live mmr, we will have to wait an additional month after the beta ends, for the real season mmr to adjust.

That’s precisely the problem.
Remember when your Widow was better than theirs so you automatically won? Whelp, that problem is even worse now. Your DPS can’t play snipers? Theirs can? Well you can’t swap to Widow anymore to deal with their Widow. You just lose, because every DPS besides like 4 is pure garbage.

Just dpne with 3 games, 1 of our tank literally said in voice/typed in chat that Blizzard is sh*t and he can do whatever he wants. He was afk for the entire game. He was our tank. What can we do? Nothing. I avoided him, next game I faced him, we rolled them, he jumped off the edge/afk the entira match. Same thing for the 3rd game.
This is exactly why this is gonna be soooooo terrible. In regular comp, if your tank is a troll, you can replace it. Now you cant because you are stuck with your role.
Fun times, free wins for sure, but must have been hard for the other team…

my games have been 300% better since s5
It’s not incorrect.
Blizzard have said they’ve been tracking players’ MMR for each role over the last few months so the SRs you’re getting from 2-2-2 placement are correct based on your MMR.
I was disappointed with my tank SR as I hoped it would be much higher but I guess that just means I need to work on my tanks.
You should report players like that as well as avoid, otherwise they’ll never get suspended.
Oh I see you’re point lmao
