This is the best idea possible and could probably fix a lot of overwatch’s problems and if anyone disagrees they’re wrong. So Jeff buddy, make the level required for comp level 100. Firstly, 25 levels is no where near enough to learn the game for competitive. Secondly, no life bums will no longer be bothered to play 100 levels worth of quick play and this will hopefully reduce the number of smurfs in overwatch. Please Jeff if you see this, please listen. This is the best idea anyone has ever come up with to fix this game xxx

Well, I don’t generally disagree, but where exactly does it help? Do you really think that would make a big difference? I don’t think so. New players are just new, they will not be ranked somewhere they shouldn’t be, and many smurfs are ready to waste endless hours in a whole collection of accounts, so increasing the level won’t make the big difference you might expect.
Blizz could try to secretly create a multi-account detection system and generally set up specific rules for such players. For example, they should try to let smurfs only play with other smurfs for a while. Sure, they could also increase the level, and also at a task that they have to play 10h with each role to unlock comp. But the best thing would be to force them play with other smurfs.

I understand this is going to be a tough pill to swallow, but “smurfs” are always going to be better than you, no matter how long it takes them to reach 25 or 100, a higher level cap wouldn’t help and in all honesty would just scare off more casual players that want to get into comp without spending 200+ hours in the game to just play their placements.

Hey, made a post similar to this earlier if you want to give feedback: Stop letting players use characters they don't know - #3 by Koringul-11212
In region where players can create accs for free, it will.

So would anyone not level 100 be kicked out of comp? Would they be grandfathered in?
It would start on a fresh season. Anyone below level 100 would not have access to comp

we said this about two years ago at least and Blizzard apparently thought their ideas were better lol

You learn how to play competitively from playing the actual competitive mode. Banning them from Comp until they reach level 100 will just mean you have people at level 100 not knowing what they’re doing.
“No life bums” are exactly the only people who would be willing to go through with leveling up a ton. It’s the actual new players who won’t bother.
Your change would actually just dissuade new players from joining while doing little to nothing for smurfs.

Good. The player pool needs culling
this is probably the worst way to start off a topic.

Well, I think Level 100 is a but of an overkill, because the game otherwise lacks incentives for new players to keep playing the game until they unlock Competitive…
You’re on a really right track though, as the Level requirement should be at least 50 and I think Level 75 would be a sweet spot.

It isn’t a level problem. The problem is the uncontrolled cheating and uncontrolled smurfs allowed to play in lower level games. The Find a Group is FULL of “smurf” and “boosting” group advertisements hour after hour and nothing at ALL is done about it.
Top that off with the poorly implemented reporting system with its massively insane slow response to reports (and reliance on automation). Nothing improves!
The system allows countless games to happen before anything is even triggered - and THAT only happens when someone actually reports.
Waiting for Level 100 will only slow the NEW smurfs for a short period of time.
Huh, this game Overwatch. Looks fun, I’ll give it a shot.
Damn, this game is really fun. Ooh, there is a Comp mode, that seems awesome.
Level 100, f that. That is way too high.
Most new players simply don’t have that kind of time on their hands.
there’s something like 10 modes they can play as well as custom games. it’s better than having them in comp games getting stomped on and not knowing what to do. I rekon most new players would enjoy a grind to 100 anyway and would work hard to get to 100 while actually understanding the game
i personally have no problems with smurfs whatsoever (I AM THE DANGER), i just dont like actual lvl 25s in my team.
but lvl 100 is not enough, still.
quality over quantity
The game is designed to make blizzard money. That alone should tell you just how stupid that statement is.
how is my argument stupid only because you think you got it? lmao
u probably never had more then 5k on your bank account
My guy, I’m a uni student. You’re godamn right I’ve never had over 5k in the bank. How is that even remotely relevant to the assbackwards logic you propose a company should follow?
