Can’t play Quickplay because it takes forever to get a game only to find someone is throwing and laughing about it
Can’t play Arcade Quickplay because every match is me literally feeling bad for winning because the enemy team is just that bad, or my team is that bad and no matter what I do I can’t win.
This game is absolute trash and I hope Blizzard is happy with themselves, they ruined a perfectly great game with all of their changes over the last four years. Record time, it might as well have been EA at the helm with how badly this all went down!
Literally can’t play the game anymore because every match is ruined, but we’re supposed to pony up for Overwatch 2? LMAO yeah right.
What changes? If you’re talking about 2-2-2: I personally think it was God’s gift to Overwatch.
Now that “open queue” is available in Comp, playing it again to remind me the old times with 3-4 DPS comps gave me perspective on how absurd this mode of game was. I tried open queue recently and absolutely hated it. I’m glad this open queue option exists because higher ranked (Masters/GMs) players don’t have to wait as much to find a match now, but IMO for most of the playerbase who are Golds and Plats, 2-2-2 was a great improvement of gaming experience.
If you dont flexs you like it, if you do you hate it. I like to have access to all heroes availble. I like dynamic game. I hate square uncreative games which is the 2-2-2 mind set.
Literally all the changes. The Dev team has done more harm than good since the game came out, or at least in the last 2 years - the game is in a worse state now than it was 2 years ago, that’s just what it is. I’m just mad that the game is basically not playable in the state it’s in due to the matchmaker being so poor and there being NO GAME MODE to enjoy!
Exactly. I’m a flexible player, my general mentality is to look for where we’re weak and try and cover that. Are we in a DPS light team? Maybe I’ll go for a tank that does decent damage to compensate for that lack.
222 locks me into a category so I literally can’t swap to help, or at best I can kind of swap to a sort of halfway hero, but it’s not enough. When you have a Hammond annoying the crap out of your team and no one in the DPS category will swap to Sombra or Mei to slow him down, and you’re stuck in the healer category, what do you do?
222 Quickplay that is in the main game mode takes anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes for me, on average.
Arcade quickplay is quite fast, but the match quality is so bad it’s just not fun at all.
Not when the dev team literally opened the window of matches about a year and a half ago, changing the matchmaker so that we would have shorter queue times but a wider range of players in our games. I’d far rather have a 2-3 minute wait for every match and a real match than the clown fiesta we have right now.
I mean I literally hate the game due to the matches being so stilted; that’s not a good sign, IMO. If I’m having this bad a time I can’t even imagine how bad it is for new players who never got to experience GOOD overwatch. They’ll hate the game entirely!
It’s certainly not enjoyable with the amount of times I’ve waited about 10 to 12 minutes for a match to play and then had teammates that were full throwing - then when I dare complain about it in chat people say “it’s just quickplay,” like it’s no big deal. I waited 12 minutes for Defense on Gibraltar where both my tanks press up to the spawn doors, die instantly, and then -I’m- the wet blanket for being annoyed?
This game is trash, that’s what it feels like. Why bother?
It’s just honestly obnoxious to see such great assets and game engine squandered on what is ultimately shortsighted business management. I wouldn’t mind the 12 minute wait if the match was good, but between Worskshop, 6 different Arcade modes, 3 different competitive modes, this that and the other thing, it seems like the player base is spread so thin that there’s no effective way to give adequate teammates anymore.
Like for instance, the first match I played today, we had a level 42 tank on the enemy team. I thought he was a smurf, after all I have over a thousand hours on my main account that I play on, so surely he’s not new, right?
Dude is literally just standing out in the open, clearly brand new with the way he’s moving around and shooting. He’s playing Winston at first, then Rein, and his team literally can’t get out of the spawn doors - this was on Dorado. We had them penned in the entire game and I stopped playing at the end because I just felt bad killing them, most of the players were decent but there were two players on their team, both the tanks, that were basically constant free kills. Is that fair? It didn’t feel fair, it felt awful! And even with me literally not playing for the last minute of the match, they never pushed the cart at all. I really wish Blizzard would just make some paltry effort to fix it!
That’s not a game, that’s a waste of time.
edit: sorry I promise I’m not yelling ~at~ you I’m just yelling lol
I don’t know about all of you, but I recently started to mute both text and voice team chat (keep the match text chat unmutted for the delicious salt).
I have gained over 400 SR in Damage Role, 200 SR in Open Queue, both getting into Platinum rank (stopping there to work on Support and Tank roles now). I also got high Platinum in No Limits Comp.
Teammates can be frustrating, I feel that. I tend to take breaks when stuff like that happen.
That is interesting, though having less distractions does help in performance. I find that team infighting does decrease the performance of the entire team.
