Another QQ topic. I play all hard characters and I am pretty flexible.
I lost 8 games and won 4 and earned around 80SR. I am doing such a high perform and climbing slowly as I am playing an alt account. But it is a shame in 2h I just earned 80SR. Hardstuck being the first to pick dps, low Elo playing high skill heroes like widow, Ana. Etc.
I hope 2-2-2 solve this. Imagine I lost 70% of my games and just 80SR anyways. I have to perform like crazy to keep it up. And get the worst thing around. I am not smurf I left an old account on console and returned to give it some love. But omg why don’t love Elo play things like bastion, sym, soldier, Moira,etc. Blizzard creates a system where the MMR if you good you are paired with the worst. Then I have to play like 500% more to get to my original Elo as I will lose many games more. It is so easy to win for me if my team can take care of themselves. I don’t need healers and tank just when there are cancer.
I thought this game was competitive. I have seen several smurf and ppl throwing on both side and nothing to be done against them. I can avoid just 3 ppl and I get like 6 for avoiding every game. I am being mean, but it is the truth. The system protects too much bad players and it is not ready to deal with smurf and throwers.
I have a life. I can play just 2h a day and the more I move up. The hardest would be for carrying earning 80 per day will take me whole season to reach my peak.

Just do what you wanna do buddy. Don’t worry about your SR.

Yeah but it is not fair. You have to play 500% more to reach your Elo. And I can ply just one hour and half per day. And it is giving me the worst teammates. Protecting them in the seek of a fair match.
An example if I go Tracer and go for their healers when I returned home my whole team is dead. Then you see enemy team is way better than yours. You have to be a babysitter.
Cover your team more and stop farming heads. You can start to pray for get the winning lottery’s ticket.
Life isn’t fair, just do your best. Stop believing you get teamed up with worse players.

You don’t get bonus SR for playing “hard” characters. You only get bonus SR for winning. If your goal is to get better at the “hard” characters then don’t worry about your SR. If your goal is to gain SR, then play the easiest heroes that help your teams get wins.
Comp sucks right now as half the community doesnt care about their SR since there is a full reset in 3 weeks. Most games are 3-4 dpsers, people getting that out of their system while they still can.
If people are tanking their SR because they think it’s resetting, they’re wrong. Your SR will start where you left off. What is reset is the matchmaker’s confidence in your MMR. This allows MMR and SR to move much more quickly, like a new account. But you will start at your previous SR.
There actually is a soft reset coming. It’s actually already started. They’ve been collecting players data for weeks apparently to put people in close to the correct ranks in the new system.
They’ve been tracking you under the hood and recording how you play each role. Theye are going to then use that data to place you when role queue goes live. So it’s not a full on reset but it’s as close as well ever get.
To those who’ve been playing badly and throwing this last few weeks. You’ve only really damaged your own SR for the new system.
Yeah, that’s what I was referring to. SR doesn’t actually reset but you will be able to move much more quickly to a new SR. So like you said, throwing will only damage your SR for the new system and make it harder to climb higher with the soft reset.

Pretty sure the new 3 tier SR system isn’t going to be taking our old SR into account and it was stated that. Call it a soft reset if you want but people who predominantly play 1 role will basically be getting reset/have been if they already started as you guys say.
This only applies to people who play often AND different roles.

Okay, where’s your source on this?
Look for the developer update about role queue. The Jeff talks about it briefly in the video.
I am pretty much waiting for the role queue to go live, if im playing it is just on PTR for pure fun and will play to get rein summer games skin.
Otherwise i will take a break from overwatch till Aug 13, since there is literally no point playing it on live now as role queue is coming…
