Console Overwatch needs fixing

Its been 17 seasons and we still havent had a full mmr reset. Its what we need to get the boosted mercys out of T500 (They literally play 50 games, are private and play just mercy) *on console atleast

Xbox overwatch is a mess right now, and the only way to really fix it is a mmr reset, raise comp level to like 75 to remove smurfs and crossplatform between xbox and ps4. Then we could add a new feature for Blizzard to have a friends list with our blizzard accounts that we only use for overwatch league tokens. (If sony would actually say yes to crossplatform)

Can we please just fix this mess?

Everything is fine. There is no mess to fix.

There aren’t even that many mercy mains in the top 500 leaderboard, at least on ps4. Its all ana and lucio mains

we have too many on xbox

Lol @ people still thinking this is a good idea

LOL

The only thing that is good here is crossplay and Sony is preventing that

MMR reset would be pandemonium
Raising comp level is just unnecessary

What mess? Your erroneous claim that console OW is dead when I regularly find matches on PS4? (I can’t speak for xbox because… well… why would I buy an xbox?)

Strange…i played it just last night…when did it die?

First, There are way too many smurfs on xbox atleast, not sure about ps4 but im assuming its around the same. Fixing that would be as easy as making comp level 75 so new players would get more time to learn how to play with this many heroes.

Second, MMR reset would help a lot. Three years old, we should have a reset.

Third, I dont know why youre bringing console wars into this, thats pathetic. (PS4 controllers suck in my opinion and they are really just uncomfortable)

Fourth, It is dead. When you cant find a game against players at your own rank and its just smurfs. Its pretty dead. Barely have fun in comp because you have to worry that your teammates are actually good. Why dont I just quit and find another game? Because theres no actual good games that came out that are good. Still waiting. Overwatch 2 better be a thing and better be good lol

Alright but you have to provide any evidence. I don’t feel like I come across smurfs a lot

That’s not a compelling argument.

Not even in the slightest.

A reset would be putting grand masters against bronze players. Is that what you want?

I just don’t see a reason to have a box with less games than the other.

Maybe on xbox, but on PS4 it is perfectly fine.

Well… I mean… you’re on xbox…

What do you expect?

I find games instantly, maybe thats an xbox thing?

You havent played xbox comp, every rank is just smurfs. Its rare to not have 2 or more smurfs in your game. Six stacks might even go against 2 2 stacks and 2 solos. (happens all the time now)

Why wouldnt we have an MMR Reset? Like give everyone a second chance to see if they are worthy of the rank theyre in or deserve better or worse. Youre right about bronzes going against gms but if theyre bronze, they prolly deserve bronze. The other problem would be Mouse and Key. Just base placements on your own performance and after every placement it puts the player in a match against players with similar stats to where it eventually gets you in your true rank.

Not sure how PS4 is, Ive seen some people having smurfs but im really not sure how ps4 is. Ive heard that the t500s are terrible compared to xbox t500s. (prolly due to mnk)

And ps4 only has good singleplayer games to be real with you, i wouldnt call call of duty good, have you seen the past games? lol

PS4 is proud to be partnered with cod.

I see theres been a dramatic change to the title of this thread

So a high rank player will be put vs a low ranked player. Sure thats one end of the spectrum. Youll also have other people from multiple ranks and same ranks trying to beat each other (and actually trying bc those wins/losses actually count towards your Sr and mmr). Id love a reset. Just because I wasnt so good at the beginning of the game coming out and not taking advantage of OP characters when they were OP in their time doesnt mean I should stay around the same rank for the rest of the time I play on ps4. Im sure if i make a smurf knowing what i know now i can place higher. Doing that would also cause me to make a smurf which is another issue thats brought up.

Do you realize that a reset would make smurfs even worse? That it would give them the perfect opportunity to derank again?

You think you’d love a reset, but I’m pretty positive the quality of matches will be complete trash for quite a bit if one were to go through.

So then you have vsing masters on one side and in another side vsing derankers…seems like its balanced on both sides.

Both of those games are frustrating and not fun.

Balanced =/= fun.

Fun is subjective and in this case not the main point. Main point isnt to have fun main point is to try to change your sr.

If you’re playing a video game and your main goal isn’t to have fun then you need to reevaluate how you are spending your time
