its their system , it sucks but it is what it is until they get around to overhauling it ,
same as the rank dropping at season change , why? players have put time into getting the ranks they are at why does the system at new season drop everyones ranks ?
nice video, so if itās casual they should just remove competitive mode and just keep quick play with the competitive match making. There shouldnāt be any ranks, no top 500, not anything related to titles because itās not accurate. The game isnāt meant for competitive play.
a ladder doesnāt make sense unless itās accurate, because the reason to have one to begin with is to go up it. The frustration for players is the fact that the ladder is not accurate at all. Itās not a competitive ladder at all and all it is fake nonsense.
Just take competitive out, because itās clearly not a competitive game. Itās a casual one.
Almost every game has casuals and tryhards/pros who take it more seriously. Competitive mode was designed for the latter group. Comp players want to know where they stand and compare to the skill of others to see where they belong.
But with things like the matchmaking and game balance being as awful as they are, it is very difficult to tell. You can play with several different skill levels within the same game, for example. I can tell that my skill is better than bronze (bottom 8%) and worse than GM (top 1%). But aside from that it is very ambiguous.
In chess, another game with a high volume of casual players, 90% of players near my elo are similar skill to me. Yet in overwatch, your rank could mean literally anything. And itās not just because ow is a team game. Other team games have much better matchmaking and ranking systems than overwatch.
The reason for Comp is to see where you stand in a pool of players.
I watched a GM streamer play for a bit one day. He got into a plat/diamond lobby, and he was even asked what he was doing there since heās a known streamer.
He couldnāt carry the game regardless if thatās the advice you are given from GMs to rank. Okay, fine an off day.
As far as matchmaking goes, does that mean his MMR is really plat/diamond but his visual rank is GM or is matchmaking that broken?
Which is it, because regardless of which one it is thatās bad.
So you stopped going afk mid match, shooting random things, and actually tried to play? Some of us have seen your gameplay, you could be plat/diamond if you didnāt troll so hard, thatās true, at this point, consider your rank to be accurate based on how you play, I canāt even figure out why someone who claims āBOTTOM 500 is where the game is at, best players ever.ā
Take competitive out. Your league doesnāt hide your real ranking(MMR) as a team and give you a fake one instead to try and make you play more. If you couldnāt tell where your team stands then there wouldnāt be any point in the league.
Thatās good for you and I actually mean that, not as a snarky response.
However for someone like me and many others, Competitive is what makes Overwatch āfunā. Youāll never catch me in QP, ever, nor any of the other misc side-games they have that Iāve never hit play once on. Iām the same way with Apex and other games, I never play ānon-rankedā, itās not fun for me.
Overwatch ranked is a complete disaster which is a major reason the game is failing so badly. For those of you who donāt care about rank but for some reason still queue it, it doesnāt matter, the rest of us eventually move on to a game thatās devs have their shiz together.
Thatās why Overwatch hasnāt been successful in years, the original team is gone and their priorities arenāt the same.
āDonāt ask for anything to be better, just deal with it and cope.ā
āor why not go get a 4 year degree in game development and then 6 years from now, try to get a one-off job to fix a game that could have been fixed by the developers now, but work on it when it is a long forgotten relic of a terrible time in gaming history.ā
