Can we get back to the old win 9 games version please?
I mean overall its good, that we can get points by losing as well, but 27 points for the week is just an overkill.
Lets say i win all 9 match in a row (and its quite fast with things like Lucioball), with the old system i would be done for that week. But with this new system im still not even close to being done. I understand that this is a way to simulate engagement with the game but come on, tone it down to 18 or let me just buy the rewards for currency.
Dont get me wrong its not hard to make 27 points, its just annoying. Especially when i am otherwise dissatisfied with the overall state of the game and would not touch it if not for the carrot in the stick called limited time skins. As for why i care about it then, is simple. Its because i still hope that under all that rot and DPS favoritism, there is still a chance for change and OW can become a good game in the future, hopefully without the OWL plague.
(and yes,i buy the OWL limited time skins as well for this very reason)

I agree, with the new system you need 13 wins and one loss to get all the stuff, which makes it more tedious imo. Nobody plays to lose, I still think 9 wins was better.
And things apart I dislike the whole feature because it just makes people play the game for a week or less because of the fear of missing out stuff. We want good content overall, not just this.

Ehm what?? I don’t understand how winning with the new system is so hard for ppl? I fly through it in a day or 2 and i’m done pretty quickly.
And when you can get “points” or whatever even for losing 
even better! Because then you can just fly through the challanges even faster.
With the 9 wins like they had before for me it was a little bit more of a challange because you would always have to win in order for it to count and i kinda hated that, so i’m glad we have the new system instead.

It’s only really any different for people with a high win rate. If you’ve got a 50% win rate then on average you’d play eighteen games to get the skin; nine victories for eighteen points, and nine losses for the remaining nine points.
The only downside, in my eyes, is that there’s less of an incentive to do PvE when it’s available. I think that allowing stars to be converted into points, like they tried in Archives, might be worth a shot in that case.

Yeah…
Imagine if they gave you 1pt for a loss, 2pts for a draw, and 3pts for a win, everyone would be happy. Why?
9 wins (3pts each) = 27 pts
27 losses (1pt each) = 27pts
It would be the best of both worlds. It would go back to only needing 9 wins, but people who lose a lot won’t be impacted negatively

I say let’s revert back the old system but make it 12 wins so 4-4-4 instead of 3-3-3. That way players who actually want the skins have to tryhard or play the game consistently in which case everyone deserving is a winner

I have no problem winning with the new system.
But by God, is it tediously longer than it has any right to be.

This God awful matchmaker insures I have to stomach the worst of humanity. New system is better for me, less time around flat-earthers.
I like the old system but I don’t have a problem with the new system.
The only change I would want is for them to include wins for Experimental.
Cause some patches I have more fun playing a hero with a new change
I preferred it, because I rarely do QP rn so I just wanna get the skin, but tbh it wasn’t much of a “challenge”, and there was a ton of whining (from a probably very small vocal minority) who struggled to win and wanted it to be easier.
It’s equally as annoying having to be forced into winning the game that is on a fixed 50% win rate for the vast majority(minus me and many others). For example, last week I won 12 games, lost 3, and was done with the whole “challenge” in 15 games total. This week I lost 24 games and won 3. I’d rather not suffer through having to play this god awful game trying to win when I can just take the 24 losses and stop playing until the next goofy skin challenge that I am forced to do because they just won’t let people either buy them with real money or the wasted 52k credits I have that do nothing but sit there. The whole system is just lose-lose, but I prefer getting 27 points.
