I have played over 400 games and still not unlocked ranked games because you have it locked behing a 50 win achievement. Getting 50 wins is ridiculous considering its all dependent on wether or not the other players actually want to work as a team or not. To get 50 wins is going to take over 500 games. I dont have unlimited time to just hope and pray that i get a win. Why is it not just play 50 games or even play 100 games would be better than the joke of an amount you have to play currently.
Because just 50 games is nowhere near the experience necessary to enter into ranked. It used to take 14 hours in OW1 before you could get to a level high enough to get into ranked and the vast majority of player opinion was that that was far too little time.
So after 100 games you should have had 50 wins. Maybe 150 games if really unlucky. Why would you even want to play comp after not even having 50 wins after 400 games played.
Because if you’re bad then they don’t want you in competitive. You need to learn the game before you are allowed to go there. That’s the whole point of it
Damn you must not be very good at the game. I mean sure your team does have an effect on whether you win or not but so does the ennemy team. 400 games and still not 50 wins means that you probably do not provide much to your team or even hinder them in some way.
Go ahead and play rank you’ll be placed at the very bottom and end up complaining on the forum that you deserve a better placement but your team is keeping you from climbing.
Cause that’s what happens with anyone which goes into competitive too quickly.
So I guess as long as you don’t complain about your rank it’s fine to unlock it.
Definitely disagree OP. My friend had never played OW before so he’s going through the FTUE process and he’s still overwhelmed by all the heroes and what they do and has no idea how to counter pick or what team comps have synergy or anything
Games average out at 10min. per game in QP (which is where you need the wins to unlock comp), so that’s closer to 6 per hour, not counting queue times.
Unless you’re a hermit with no job, no school and basically no responsibilities (including the basic necessity to prepare food for yourself), you’ll have other things you need to do with your time.
Yeah the problem is they don’t start their placements in bronze. Which means putting undo pressure on the other players if they have someone on their team that is vastly underskilled to be there.
You’re a gold/plat player, busting your butt to climb, and and here comes Blizzard tossing this nooby with a 12% winrate onto your team, would you be happy with that? Would you sit there after the loss because he was too heavy to carry and think to yourself “yeah, this is a fair and logical Matchmaker and ranking system”?
Your qp games don’t average 10m get over yourself.
My comp games barely last 10 minutes and both side usually get a chance
In order to AVERAGE 10 min games you need to have many games that end in 5 minutes as well lasting 15+ minutes. How many QP games lasting 15-20minutes are you engaging in to average 10min qp games lol
Don’t believe me?
Go play ten games of QP and then look at your replays. Or just look at the replays if you’ve already played them.
Or should I just give you the times on my list?
