“I do think people would have more fun playing in a pre-made group than just sort of randomly hoping the matchmaker finds them someone with the same values as them, and I do think people’s reasons for not wanting to group are actually valid right now…”
Perhaps this is a good thing!
a guild or clan system would be an interesting addition but honestly it is too early to tell. I think I’d like it though.
or is it just Jeff saying to us to group up without getting his hands dirty and offer up a solution?
Clan system would solve everything… I just want to join a clan… practice together and play against other clans… Hell of alot better then grouping up with random people you never played with.
What features could a guild system offer that discord currently doesn’t?
I’d rather use in game functionality…it’s why MMOs offer guilds even with discord. It’s still offered.
On a side note, could you imagine competitive OverWatch League with, instead of set teams, they pooled all the pros and had a matchmaker randomly place them each match? It’s a stretch
… But it proves why having set guilds or Clans who can practice together is better than being randomly placed in competitive it’s a mini OverWatch League… I’d rather play with people who I practice with and know how they work as opposed to being stuck with random people all the time.
A clear default statement of how the game is meant to be played so people will not have a leg to stand on when they rage about how unfair solo queue is and how unfair their matches are?
I would agree. Because right now the way competitive setup is not the way OverWatch league is played. However there is a clear correlation between the game play styles. Everybody playing competitive really would like to play in something that’s like OverWatch League.
I don’t know about you but I’d love to have clam system and a bracket style competition or clams can compete in quarterly tournaments.
That would be awesome Clan wars and Tournaments would be awesome plus as a reward get to play an overwatch league style game would be cool. Or play against an overwatch league team If you win it lol. ( I am so not at that level but would love to see it!)
<3 Wow awesome im glad to see that Jeff acknowledged this in some way
If you want a “guild”, find some friends and group up every so often and battle together
Not the same as a fully structured clan system with in game features.
A blizzard game , Wow, already has a great LFG system, you can post a group to find members , or post yourself as ‘looking’ can state what roles or heroes you like etc and your rank .
It would be a great way to find people without tabbing out of game , posting on the forum , waiting for it to get read , hoping you get replies , etc.
A guild system would be pretty neat. Should incorporate that along with missions with rewards the guild must achieve in order to grow or something. They should also add special animations for certain skills and ults as a separate award to acquire besides golden guns.
Which isn’t even an option on console.
Exactly they need a in-game system and ideally on all platforms . Craziest thing to see a group game have very few tools to group other than a button after a match 
There really needs to be specific modes for solo-forced comp, a mixed-group comp, and a 6-stack comp
Why not have both role queue system and clan for ladder? Clan is great and all, but what happens if there are 8 people ready to play? 2 will be left out and forced to either wait for 2 to leave or duo que and deal with the RNG. No matter what, whether there is a guild system or not, we need Role Queue.
Just wanted to put this x-post in here because I think it is particularly relevant to a ‘guild system’. Here are some examples of the problems such a system (or something similar) could fix:
Wow has BG and RBG.
You can only queue for RBG with a stack. Those modes can coexist.
When the guild is online you queue. When not you solo queue.
To make faster queue times you just need to allow more disparity between teams and aware more points for beating a higher ranked team and vice versa.
