Ok serious question, recently I kinda ‘‘forced’’ myself to play comp at least 2 matches each day, more if I am on a win streak , only 2 because I know that if I lose 2 time in a row I begin to get tilted so I stop.
But there are days where you wanna do come ranked games, but right when you opened the launcher your will just go down in the home screen and stop?
As for me probably happen because or too tired or a lot of ‘‘real life’’ thoughts, wonder if this happens to someone else and why.
For me, even if I really want to play comp, I usually don’t if I’m tired, already tilted, unmotivated, hungover or if I just feel like my aim is really off for the day.
These days, I pretty well limit myself to just getting placements done as I am busy with other goals outside of Overwatch. Usually when I want to have fun with Overwatch, I keep it to Quick Play.
I literally do that every single day. I WANT to play comp but then I open the game, play a FFA game to get warmed up, and then remember that I find FFA to be the most fun mode in the game, and then end up playing that for hours instead.
I played one match in Comp… that’s it… It was on Tank I played Orisa and I won I forgotten what map it was on
I don’t feel up to playing Comp that much anymore especially after looking through my profile and seeing how much I’ve played and not “getting better”
also, it’s super lowpop, long waits, alt-infested, 5+ years of no-resets, and so completely rigged it may as well not be comp. i’d rather lose 3-4 arcades than sweat for ???sr in the <500 against OWL smurfs cheaters and throwers, because they don’t even keep score down there
Ye prob when I am in those things you listen I simply have a walk outside, draw something, read to try to make some space in my head.
As for the placements I don’t think I will do those, in end is still comp and I always tryhard there to endup in a higher sr range, while I get the outside goals of Ow (if i’m working on a project I will be way to much distracted on that to focus on ow), as for the fun part… believe or not recently I started to have fun in comp (sure sometime I tilt but when I do that I just stop) , playin with everything muted.
guess because you find it more funny than comp, nothing wrong with that, that’s why I’m giving a chance to ow 2 despite all my doubts, because give you more options outside comp.
ye I feel that, sometime feel like you’re keeping give headbutts on a wall without breaking it, nothing wrong by takin a … break… (no pun intended)
… that would be everyday?
Comp people make me sad, comp games are stressful.
I got the same gameplan as WyomingMyst. It’s placements only.
Like for real… I’ve put in about 30ish hours per season when I was a newer player… and have tried to improve but I’ve only made it Gold 3 times (also I wasn’t solo at those points either… that I can remember)
Plus I only played Comp cause I was curious about my skill in game… for what’s it worth
I mean…these days I just play Back4Blood, DeepRockGalactic, SmashBrosUltimate, and whatever Metroidvania or ArtGame I’m in the mood for.
I grinded my last golden weapon. Comp just sucks. People THINK its “balanced” and that you could “improve” but most of the time you just want to kill one of your team mates…
I play it with a friend with rules 300% life , no smash, like some street fighter game , I’m not great but we always have a good laugh there, I play as Mr Game and Watch, Bowser J and pyra/mythra
ahah I feel that, that’s why I keep all muted, so if I write something in a moment of anger chat block me XD , we can say is a self move to hold myself back
Cool, I okay with a friend whip is almost tournament tier, got about 10.1M GSP in ranked.
I play,
Byleth
Pokemon Trainer
Joker
Sepiroth
Lucina
Corrin
Ridley
K Rool
And I’m currently learning Captain Falcon
Also have some failed attempts to learn DeeDeeDee, Donkey Kong, Falcon, Fox, Wolf, Zero Suit Samus
Might try one of the Marios later
Also…bleh Sora and Kazuya are a pain. Usually have to cheese against them to win.
After you spend 20 minutes and grt no match, you really dont want to play comp anymore.
Even QP takes over 10 minutes
not really into ranked, just some friendly brawl but I like to watch pros playing it. Sora was a disappintment for the las dlc hero but is just me because not a huge fan of Kingdom hearths
Does anyone still play comp? QP and arcade is the only thing that keeps Overwatch even remotely tolerable.
Comp is a dead mode in my region with 20+ queues and lots of matches are over in <5 mins due to leavers/throwers/smurfs/etc. There is absolutely no reason to play comp. I can’t name a single other online game in existence which has such an anti-fun ranked ladder where you either lose the match at hero select, or get handed a free win because the other team had a thrower/leaver/etc. The devs failed big time pushing comp in this game.
Nope there hasn’t been any of those days for me.
Most times when I was actually able to play overwatch, I usually didn’t play competitive and instead just ran around in QP and custom games
Try like all the time….
I actively avoid comp on purpose usually because I want to have fun when I play this game and that is not the primary goal of playing comp…and so it usually isn’t
People always confuse that as me saying you cannot have fun in comp….but that’s not what that say…. that just isn’t the goal
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this game for 5 years….including right now….I attribute that mostly to my lack of comp play time
mostly be because after years of spamming qp only i felt bored, but I have short patience there
that’s nice
ye comp take a lot of time and concentration (even more time if you que as dps)
ye sometime when you go there is only flame, I felt better about it when started to play with everything and everyone muted. I get that for you there isn’t the goal, but someone (don’t tell me how that spell work) have both fun and learn/tryhard
can feel this, had 2 years where I didn’t play comp at all, and my mental sanity gained lol
