1.Remove region lock and let players choose servers.
2.Give players an option to opt-out of the ugly experience maps Paris and HLC until you fix them.
3.Let players hide borders no waiting till ow2 is not a answer to the biggest toxic factor in the most populated ranks.
4.reduce sr range for matchmaking to 500.Stop putting three ranks in a game.
Friends 1000sr apart can play openq or qp.

I think its more that they had it that way on console and was to much work to change that i guess?
I dont think they fixing them, as they removing 2cp in future.
I say sr range can be bigger than 500, but… one rank difference only. Gold playing with plat, no diamond then etc.
But they dont have large player base to do so and match maker have to push weird games now anyway.
No, the shame should stay there, so you know your place. How can normal human being not climb 600+ levels w/o throwing? I think that should be banable offence, cause or throwing.
I see this every game someone on team has gold or plat border immediately someone diZess them and toxicity starts at spawn.

Having high lvl in lower rank does not mean someone throw…

what would you expect when you clearly see a thrower, who doesn’t learn the game, but ruin others games instead. when you are bad at school you are kicked out of school or high grade educational centers. Why isn’t it in a game where learning is a point of playing?
It means exactly what I say, if you are unconcious of yourself throwing it doesn’t mean that you are okay man. It is the same as if you don’t know the law, you still responsible at following it!
And yall want this tool to disappear? Toxicity is your excuse? Now you are a victim? What an ego thinking. Instead of improving, they want to hide a fact them throwing!
Shame is a tool of natural selection, and natural selection is a part of competition.
Then these hardstuck borders complain at forum the most, having no clue what is game balance is, they complain about smurfs, when they are the major problem by themselves.

Being bad at the game is not throwing.

Being bad at the game consistently is a throwing, cause competitive ladder suppose you to climb, and climbing means learning the game. You do not learn you are throwing!
There should be autoban as soon a player reaches 600 levels and he never made it to GM… okay to masters AT LEAST! He should have closed competitive mode and forced to buy new account to be a noob who need another chance.
Its a game, no school or work, you are not here to improve yourself, you are here to play game and have fun. Not everyone try to learn stuff when playing game, thats why ranks exist, to separate people who do improve and those who dont. There is nothing wrong with either of the group.
Also, throwing is something like intentionaly trying to lose. Aka, miss shots on purpose, or juming off the map. If someone miss their shots because of bad aim, its not throwing.

So you go into a match and shame people for borders, exposing it causes nothing but more distress a OTP genji will probably be hardstuck plat with a diamond border, what help does it do to be toxic to him from spawn.

The problem is some people dont get concept of fun being different for everyone.
Many people dont really care about number and jpg on their profile, they just play a game. But some seems to act like thats not acceptable.

Who teached you this mess mindset? What do you know about fun in competitive games? I tell ya : the fun is only available when you climb and win, when you improve. There is no fun being stuck at 1 place like a plant. If you find this way of playing fun, well…I have nothing to say. We are actual competitive players do not accept this behaviour, you want to have fun in comp, not bringing any value to the table in team game - you are sabotaging gameplay. Competitive ladder will not tolerate casual play! <---- that is why you have smurf issue, cause you do not improve.
brosif ive seen someone with a diamond border in low bronze and i even checked their profile and they were always bronze since season 1.
they aren’t throwing my g, plus yeah toxicity IS an excuse because they get flamed for being in a low rank even though they were always in a low rank ever since they started playing whether it was in 2015 or 2016 maybe 2017.
so now your flaming every low rank + low level.
because that’s literally the point of games, to have fun.

No one, it comes naturally that its just a game and there is no actual need to force someone to learn and train for playing the game.
Casual gamers are big part of games like overwatch. Best we could do is try to accept each other. I accept that some people do want to rank up and see fun only in winning, the problem i have with people who call out others for having different priorities and definition of fun.

I saw all of this mess, and that is ridiculous, how devs let it be. What is the point having a mode named “competitive” in that case if players not being punnished for sabotage like this?
Doing it unconcioucely doesn’t mean they do not do it eventually. THe point of compete is to be concious and have sober thinking of what you’re doing there!
No excuse, you choose competitive be kind to play competitively, not randomely, or take actions upon yourself.
Me personaly, I hold it in myself, unless this hardstuck open his mouth thinking he knows what is wrong. Imagine I boost an account in his elo, but this sand bag is such an uncarriable weight tells me what to do. Like yesterday, I was doing climb from gold to diamond, doing an order as support. I’ve got 2 tanks with freaking diamond border, and they were plat and diamond. These 2 sons of a “nature” never react to highground threats towards like hitscan damage boosted sitting there and cleaning backline, so I had to babysit my 2nd support, then I decide I have to deal with it myself, then this “son of a nature” starts blaming me of no healing towards him. This blew my mind and I gave him everything I think about him, I hope he deleted a game after this, cause he really should! If you are interested, I told him in a good maner what is our actual problem, not blaming him for his border or bad plays, but his peanut brain was to tiny to process it! What to say, he feed his brains out to sym turrets, playing WINSTON! No aim no brain winston main… Cant clean turrets, cant disable any threats, don’t see what is happening around, even being told so, blaming his teammates for not supporting his bad plays, being in complete mind denyal of what you say to him. And he shout his mouth as soon as he saw my 80+ winrate. Why this matchmaker stacks players like this, when I should’ve been spawncamping him with players who he really deserve. I think, when you avoid players like this, the game should give you revenge match, and match you up with who you avoided. But kaplan saves his pepegas from punishment.
WRONG! It is not JUST a game… It is COMPETITIVE MODE of the GAME! Which requires high dedication and responsability. IF you are not cappable of doing it, there should be a system prevents players like this to play competitive mode.
The phrase “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you’ve lost twice.

If you want prevent casuals from playing in ranked, there is one thing you can do, simple change really.
Dont put cosmetic items for every hero only in ranked mode.
Thats right, most causals would be gone long time ago from your game mode (even if you after ranking up should not meet casuals anymore) if the gold guns skins be in different place. And throw in unranked where you get more than one round and you get ranked free of people who play game for having fun.
I mean, it is just a game, at least for players, for buisness its just money printing program but thats different story.
