Teamwork is the problem

There’s 2 ways you can show competence in teamplay. I’m seeing a pattern

  1. You show it through your actions. Good players will be able to see it .

  2. You use the mic to communicate with your teammates.

What I get in match making. neither. Its me + a few ai’s vs 2 good players + ai’s.

Bad players are dumb players. Having Ai’s on a team that behave at random with no clear thought, competence or any idea on what to do is disasters of a team game.

My question is that in overwatch 2 ? from what I’m seeing. Are they pushing for more individual skill performance rather than having to rely on ultimate’s and teammates. The gameplay shows that they’re heavily emphasizing, " if your team sucks and you don’t you it will not affect you. The market shows that the new strategy for team game = a team game that respects the players individual skill rather than his teammates. For example if your really good at valorant you could 1v6 an enemy team or in apex you could go around the map face enemies with or without your teammates. I think overwatch is heading in the same direction which is a very good thing.

I think it’s debatable. In a way the emphasis on teamwork is a nice part of this game. Which is why I believe they should keep the two games separate.

It’s absurd for us to even consider our teamwork when matches are being algorithmically handicapped by MMR.

It will be the same pendulum matchmaker as we have now. Stomp up a few matches, get stomped back down. Repeat~

Teamwork is irrelevant in this scenario. Are you the carry or the potato? Thats all that matters.

Mic only go so far with a 1 and a half second delay, information is already outdated by the time the team gets it. Works in LAN parties not so much over the internet.

Doesn’t even matter in a lot of games. People refuse to speak English.
