A large portion of the community's competitive complaints would disappear if they just 6 stacked

I’m sure the devs could build something like this with enough time and resources, they would have to create some pretty amazing tools though, much better than in WoW. Even so, spending more time organizing a game than being in one isn’t an appealing thought to me and I know I’m not alone in this regard.

I tend to agree, but you’d have networks and communities forming inside the game rather than out. This is what we are missing.

Eventually you could just see some other clannie or guildie on who has tagged themselves as a flex or support player and you just get together and see how far you go. It would be even easier to make new friends.

23

I’m not opposed to any of this other than forcing players into finding a 6 stack, I just don’t think it’s very likely to happen. I know you just want those balanced matches with good teamwork that make Overwatch feel amazing and only happen once in a blue moon, I want that too. I wish there was a simple solution but there are so many real-world problems attached to any idea that’s been put forth so far.

Guess that’s how you got to 2200 -_-.

Could you elaborate?

I wrote some of them in an earlier post.

Wrong, 6 stacking means you’re gonna come up against the smurf six stacks, do not do it OP is an idiot

Huh? So if the smurf 6 stack is a 6 stack how can they go up against you if you aren’t a smurf 6 stack?

Who wins?

confused

6 stacks always have a couple smurfs

32

But we are punished for six stacking by this system that assumes that if I play with friends, my team is more coordinated.

Hard part is finding competent players to six stack with

some of us dont want to play with 5 other people. I duo with 1 friend. Just give us role select prior to quing. Problem solved.

35

You must not have a job or life to attend to and 5 other buddies the same

36

Not everyone has time to create a 6 stack?? I’m a busy guy in RL and usually only have about a half hour to play a solid game.

How about we just create a solo queue only instead and force 5 stacks to find a 6th member to play with. Sounds like a better solution to me.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Solo players shouldn’t have access to competitive queue. Only 6 stacks. Then the game would be truly competitive. And more fun. Casuals can go in QP they’re not competitive players by definition.

So untrue, I play maybe 1 hr / day max and have plenty of friends I group up with. Takes a few seconds and maybe needs to be willing to communicate with mics and to commit more seriously to the game, but you can have a life as well. How many hours a week are you playing OW solo ? Y’don’t even have 15 minutes to talk to people and make friends ? All this time spent raging on the forums about instalocks and throwers, you should’ve spent it making friends that are like-minded.

39

Except in Diamond and above the que times become close to an hour and eventually the game says F it and just finds another 6 stack regardless of SR

This is beyond a dumb response, I do have friends but we all have jobs and responsibilities. If you read the comment you could of understood that but instead you tell me to make friends :joy: you can find 5 other friends to play with you whenever it is you’re wanting to play then that’s great for you but most people don’t have that so come down off your ivory tower of friend making
