Create a global/regional ladder (SMS protected) it’s just like Top500 but with everybody in it. The ladder is searchable and filterable and you can invite people from it if they allow it. (This is essentially a player directory)(you could include the option to have your name blanked out on the ladder, but still hold the place/rank)
Guilds/Clans
a scoreboard
a replay system
publish the MMR formula
customizable HUD - move, resize, and opacity of all the HUD elements
a mini map (25m radius) that only shows allies and maybe health pack locations
when you ping “I need healing” this shows up on the mini map
officially endorse overwatchWikia and Overbuff or make the same websites in house
take OW Contenders off of BattleFY and do “Path to Pro” in-house
I wouldn’t necessarily mind this. However, I’m not sure where on the screen it would go. Maybe top left? I’d probably disable mine anyway.
Having a player database is something I’ve always thought would be good, especially for the use of LFT.
I don’t understand this one, so you’ll have to elaborate.
An after-game scoreboard would be nice for team stat-keeping, but we all know Blizz wants to protect everyone from toxicity.
This is already on the way.
We’ve talked about this, Tactician…
There’s no need for them to do that if the websites do fine on their own. I don’t see what making them official would do for anyone other than make Blizzard have to pay for more employees for a service they don’t get anything out of anyway.
Imagine if the Top500 players could choose not to have their names on the list. So at place #134, you would just see it blacked out instead of the person who held that spot.
Now imagine that instead of Top500 it contained every single person who had SMS protection enabled.
Now image you could search and filter this list. You would be able to see how many Soldier 76s had a +55% win percentage and no less than 11k damage per 10 minutes etc etc etc.
Now imagine you cold invite people from this list. (there would be an option to not receive invites)
This is basically what a player directory would look like. It’s so group leaders can find that perfect Tracer main they’ve been searching for instead of sitting in LFG and hoping a Tracer main finds them.
I work in Customer Experience and wanted to flag a Gamer Experience issue that would be easy to fix - maybe someone can add it to their master list?
I just got suspended again for missing game-start.
On avg it takes like 5mins to find a game for me. If I step away for a minute to grab a soda or answer the phone, a game is, apparently, found immediately.
For CustomerXP, it would be great if #Overwatch could add the 2 lines of code to say:
“Are you ready to join a game? y/n”
Or choose people already playing (moving on skirmish) or talking on their microphones - anything that indicates that the gamer is actually there ready2go.
Otherwise, please add the “Are you ready to join a game? y/n”
This would really improve the gamer experience - means the player doesn’t lose XP by missing the start, and it also stops the super annoying issue of games cancelling in the first 30secs of competitive because one of the players was inactive (and then re-joining the game-search queue - yuck!!)
Seems like this would be super easy to implement and would make everyone happier.
once you hit that Comp button, you’re promising everyone you’ll be available for the next 20 minutes or so.
your idea is bad cuz the matchmaker used all this time to find 12 people only to have 1 of them time out. I understand your disappointment, but your alternative creates more problems than it solves.
I would be interested in having a ready check for groups though
