As blizzard just don’t listen to any player’s opinion, so the patch updated exactly like the PTR one. There are several problem problem appeared by far.
In ranking match, players not able to see other’s profile, which make it hard to form the best team com.
Sym is reworked, so sym otp or sym main not able to keep their skills status. This is confusing in rank match.
In rank match, you can see player’s rank, but not able to see their sr.
Website that help player analysis their performance are all dead.( E.g. overbuff )
Here is my opinion, overwatch as a competitive game, who always claim to improve players experience. I don’t judge the quality of the game, but after lots of update, seems like the development team is just making players experience become worse and worse. Now the experience in competitive game is awful, hard to communicate and form a team, even the team system is out, it just won’t help. Players are leaving, and all the update are just making players want to stop playing rank and even stop playing this game.
What I mean is they made a new system to let random player form a 2 2 2 team, but even they are in the same team, they still can’t see each others profile, this is a serious problem。
Honestly, give it at least a week. People pour into OW right when a patch goes live. I actually avoid playing when a patch goes live.
Once the dust settles and people figure things out, things will be easier.
Easy fix, if it means that much to you to see it, tell em to make their profile public or they get booted. Just because a team forms doesn’t mean your stuck with them.
It’s not stupid, it’s the only way the system actually works. If you make it public by default and add the option to hide it, anyone who chooses privacy gets reported or trolled for “trying to hide something.” The system only works if private is the default, because then you can only logically assume that their profile is private because they never changed the settings. This will reduce or eliminate the vast majority of false reporting because most of the player base will likely never change this setting.
Should the system make player’s gaming experience become better or worse, that’s the problem. I really want to know why they add this system, to protect otp player and boosted player?
GDPR is about what Blizzard is doing with your real information (personal, identifying information like name, address, bank account and what they store on their servers, e.g. how long I am logged in from my particular IP), not how many hours Requi3mX has spent on DVa. I don’t have any clue as to why they’ve done it, but I can’t remember anything from Blizz that sounds like an effort to comply with GDPR.
GDPR has nothing to do with this change. Im guessing its about how the allowed onetricks and such get hate. But the toxic people will just hate about something else instead, this wont do anything to stop them.
Why remove something that helps building a good team quickly? After leaving gold in season 2 ive never seen anyone being toxic with the help of information found in profile. They have been toxic about alot of stuff, but nothing from there. Toxic people will still be toxic, and smart people will have alot less information to use for teambuilding.
Having it private as default and alot of people not changing it serves the same purpose as removing it. Still makes you unable to use the information regardless of how you cant use it.
And the first thing i did when i entered OW was to put it back to public as it should be. I dont have anything to hide.
