Overwatch ranking system questions

I want to play comp with my friend, shes gold 2, i am gold 5, is that not the same ranked pool? How come? I was in a match a while ago while in bronze and someone on my team was gold, playing with their friend, shes on xbox and i am on pc.

If she’s not on PC, you can’t play ranked together

What why? Since when was this a thing

Long as I can remember. Unranked only, no competitive

really? why dont they allow comp crossplay?

Crossplay is only available on QuickPlay

Basically because Console players have access to Aim Assist

If you both play on Console, or PC, there are close to no restriction in that skill range

You can group up from Bronze, up to Diamond without issues

Because mouse and keyboard and controller are two very different things.

It’s actually considered cheating by a lot of people if you use a mouse and keyboard on consoles (which you can do if you buy special equipment)

the reason why console has aim assist is because precision on a mouse way surpasses precision on console. Even with aim assist on (which no one turns on coz its a horrible experience), console does not have similar precision.

Secondly, cross play is not enabled coz PC have mouse precision (not skill; its due to the peripherals) so, they have an obvious advantage over console. That’s the reason y crossplay is disabled in comp. Not the other way around.

You clearly never played Warzone xD

PC surpases Console because of camera movement activity level

But when the Gold4 kid locks in the hitbox, oh boy, those headshots are gonna make Kephrii and ML7 like grandmas xD

y are we discussing warzone when this is an OW forum??? u telling me that aim assist on both these games is literally the same software…??
dude… just… chill and rethink…

:joy:

You can tune Aim Assist strenght as you like

But I’ve seen top500 console players on QuickPlay going Hitscan, and they are no different than facing a Hacker

And that’s why you can’t have Crossplay in Competitive

Because no one in his right mind is going to put up with stupid crap like Assist on a competitive game

Unfortunately you cannot play comp with console and pc together. You can do quick play but not comp.
