I am a bronze - gold Overwatch player and can I please write a motion to PLEASE, for the love of the game. Or whatever is left of it. Stop smurfing in this elo. It is actually cancer to the game and has made everyone I know quit. On top of blizzards allegation problems and all the other issues Overwatch has I love this game. I want to keep playing this game. But I cannot continue to do so when I want to play in a group with friends and keep constantly getting dumpstered by diamond+ players that completely prevent climbing. I would not complain about this if it were not for 10 minute dps ques, time of my life I will never get back, to enjoy some overwatch. Just to then get trashed on by someone who spent 20$ intentionally threw games (which should be downright banned) then decided to ruin everyone’s day except for the lucky team this individual landed on. 1/3 games I have played, the last 5 months. HAVE HAD SUCH SMURFS. That’s 1/3, of my game time, that I will never get back, wasted just so someone whos having a hard time in their own rank will not allow people like me in the middle to have a chance to learn and improve. I dont want to hear “get better” I don’t want to hear " your just trash" because of course I am. I am a casual player, I play overwatch comp maybe five games a week, I pretty much stick to norms now just to avoid this. I HAVE BEEN GOLD SINCE S3 Just for the reason that I do not have much time at all if ever now to sink into competitive games.
So I know it is funny to people on top to trash people on the bottom, but from those of us trying to learn and improve on your game, PLEASE GIVE US A CHANCE TO LEARN. Thank you.
Please improve the internal mmr system like league of legends has to create a smurf q for these players, do not put them in games with people of their own rank when they can outperform anyone every game. That should be obvious.
PLEASE LIKE THIS POST SO MAYBE BLIZZARD CAN DRAW SOME ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUES WHEN THEIR OWN INTERNAL STRUGGLES GET WORKED OUT.
