I was put in a top500 lobby yesterday, in Korea

I am diamond 4. IDK if the entire lobby were top 500, but my team had top6 and top 125.

My dps was top 6th dps in Korea. He was playing pharah, and I swear, I never saw him. He was just somewhere and all I saw was the kill feed and his name. I was roadhog, and I was just running in an empty map and escorting the payload in hollywood.

I didn’t see much enemies either. But each time I saw, it was like Ana Zen Orisa and something, and my life was like :chart_decreasing::bar_chart::chart_increasing::chart_decreasing::bar_chart::chart_increasing: with that breather. I swear, I was pressing the button hard, hoping to squeze more heals out of that ability.

I had 12 kills overall, he had 49. And don’t be deceived by that 12 elims. It was all just me pressing right click and scratching some people from time to time.

Made me realize how bad I am at this game. I really don’t get how people say, “we deserve higher ranks” or “I am a gm, but I am stuck with these plats.” Or how they go and buy GM accounts, thinking they belong.

That’s unfortunate.

Just FYI though, T500 is now meaningless as a title since the Challenger update. It is more dependent on playtime, while it used to be based purely on rank.

True. It means less. And there are a handful of diamonds on the list too. But top 6 would almost certainly be gm or champ. When I looked at leaderboards a couple days ago for NA, while there were some on the list, none were in top 100. They just have to play so much more.

They also seem to have dramatically widened matchmaking. I think the issues of 5v5 are beginning to really make themselves known lol

Yeah so I have no idea how I can be put in top500, in Korea… Like the skill gap between me and these guys is the same as a hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby.

The guy was a gm with 4000 hours in OW in total.

See this :wink:

I had a match range of Master 2 to Champ 5 yesterday.

It doesn’t seem like as bad a range as what you had, but I assure you it’s much, much worse!

Yeah but like you are a master, at least. Like you have some solid skill, at least.

But ye, you are right. This type of wideness is crazy. And that queue was almost instant btw. Not like the game tried to find and didn’t.

GM3-GM2, actually.

But yeah, the skill gap between M2 and Champion 5 is absolutely massive.

Now he’s copying other people’s posts :skull: the schizo strikes again

Tbf SILVOC is #1 and I don’t even know how he’s GM

13

Yeah, I’m on a break from OW due to this nonsense. Whatever Blizz is taking is some pretty powerful product.

The fever didn’t fully go away I can see.

It’s called Dunning Kruger effect.

Or maybe just ego xD Like how can someone pay to get boosted to GM, is beyond me. Probably not many people do that, but some do, and it’s mind blowing.

Lmfao this same exact post popped up like two days ago. Now you’re copying it

At least make it less obvious and take something from a year or two ago, yikes.

I am not copying anything. You are just salty because of the “mm is not even trying” thread, where you are right now being publicly humiliated and mocked. And now you are under all my threads, trying to spread toxicity because 3 years ago some guys made fun of you for using alts (maybe right or wrong, IDK, but you admitted having hell a lot of alts, and also you are superbly insecure).

Just chill out and move on at some point. People get embarrassed on the internet from time to time. You can’t let it on your soul for such a long time. Like if you remember that incident after 3 years ago, that’s just shows MASSIVE ego issues.
