Stadium is ranked only and no crossplay

i find it annoying that i cant play stadium with my friends… just bc they are console, being ranked only is cutting us from enjoying it together…
add a unranked mode or let console Q with us

It’s extra funny because it isn’t even competitive. It’s ranks entirely on w/l
They have made terrible decision after terrible decision with stadium.

I’m talking about the fact that it is not competitive. It is simply ranked. W/L only. There is no competitive matchmaking involved.

The whole thing about it being ranked or competitive or whatever is just silly.

It’s a game mode.
Make a game mode that works crossplay.
That’s it.
Make a queue for it in the unranked section.

How is this so hard?

So it’s exactly like comp then, it ranks solely on W/L

It is a competitive game mode.

Maybe they will make a quick play mode for console players. Just like what we have in quick play.

But as of now this is strictly comp.

I don’t get why not just let console players into the PC pool with no aim assist

Because if the vast skill gap.

It is not fair for the pc players. I am kind glad they did this so now I don’t have to play 6v6.

And it is not either me getting stomped or me stomping in quick play.

They should keep this mode separate if they want reveal quality interactions between players.

Not sure yet but Emong said a high rank player can que with low ranked player. Not entirely sure what he means.

Doesn’t matter for me, because I tried it once and won’t ever again. It’s just Overwatch with more steps. Extended perks, extended rounds, extended viewpoint. Extended grief. All the same issues are present but you get to suffer them longer.

I play with my friends on the daily and the most disappointing thing was seeing that I can’t play this mode with them.

Fix this please!

Stadium will not be able to survive as a ranked mode, time will tell.

Yes this basically. There is no reason for it to not be cross play.

It means it isn’t actually competitive.
Your rank in the game mode is not your rank.
It’s a ladder you go up on win and do nothing on loss until a point then it’s even and so on.
Your actual skill rank is all done behind the scenes and in no way related to that.
So imagine this.
You play comp you see yourself go up or down by a percentage based on the competition you played against. In this that is not the case the gain and loss are set based on the outcome only.
It is therefore not competitive but ranked. This is a ranked ladder not a competitive mode.
They call it competitive because they want a 15 minute leaver penalty but that comes with the baggage of it being not cross play. There is literally 0 reason to do it this way.
