I leave OW1 a low plat player to enter OW2 where I get placed with people who don’t know how to play game after game and end up in Silver 2. My stats were twice that of other players constantly. The games were crazy unbalanced. Now I’m expected to sit here and grind my way back to plat and it will require at minimum that I win 62 games without losing any. I’ll likely end up needing ~130 crap games to get back to near the level I should be competing at. Assuming you can only go up one level at a time. It’s going to be hundreds of frustrating games with no teamwork where it ends up being a crapshoot if you can win or not. Honestly not sure I want to put myself through that. I was so close to joining games where other people used mics. So close…
I agree. Comparative to OW1… its the same… its just worst for queque, connection errors and so many glitches.
Same here, I was around mid-high plat, finished my tank placements, straight to bronze 5, same with support, was high gold, sent straight to bronze 5. Don’t even want to try damage now bc of that.
You think that’s bad? Try being an ACTUAL bronze player and having to play against 5 Plat players ever B5 comp game…
if you’re plat in skill you’d be stomping through silver, not whining about “grinding”.
This is the REAL issue going unnoticed - all us Low SR players are getting hammered with either High SR in the wrong ranks OR brand new F2P players Q’ing comp after 50 games of QP…
It’s a genuine nightmare… we aren’t skilled enough to carry and we’re just getting nuked.
not with a team that doesnt communicate, use voice comms, overextend, scatter and is impossible to comp with?
So it a new game with new player, partially reset rank and people discovering competitive…
U dont deserve plat or diamond if u get it once (or all times) on ow1
U have to climb with the new rules and new players
lol new game? hardly - its exactly the same game with very tiny and minor changes that shouldnt even be called a sequel, they even should frigging do complete mmr reset or none at all, i dont buy this crap sorry, and i most definitely dont want to play with or against ppl who use controllers, it misses the point, is unbalanced and unfair for either side
If you’re plat and you place around gold then even if you are stomping it won’t ever feel that way.
bro i was between high gold-plat in seasons that ive played in ow1 and i have never been so frustrated due to being pooled with ppl that majority of time dont cooperate, communicate, scatter about… try playing as a tank or support and watch yourself go on win/loss/win/loss all the time - i wouldnt mind being even getting hard stuck in gold but frigging bronze?
It’s possible to jump tiers. I jumped 2 after placements.
Once people become accustomed to the new maps and heros, and everyone climbs or falls until they have fair games, comp will run more smoothly.
If you really want to play it safe you can avoid comp until then. But you’ll be missing out on experience. This is a fast game and you’re liable to fall behind quickly if you take time off.
It’s really, really, really not.
Irrelevant, only mechanical skill matters until at least master.
No it doesnt and stop posting idiotic responses you read somewhere online Avallac, if youre so smart go make an alt, make sure you place yourself in bronze and record your journey, then we can talk
Literally the last sr mmr system stunk but this one takes it all, I literally was put almost 3 levels below where i was not even a week b4 ow2 came out, like literally from gold to bronze in 2 days? what the actual crap is this? Blizz does not want toxic people but I don’t see how deranking people 2-3 ranks is going to make them anything but toxic.There is no reason I got dropped gold - bronze in two days and winning most of my games to boot. now im going to get hard stuck playing with people who barely know the game and I’m was tired of that in ow1. maybe comp is still bad and always will be if this system stays the way it is ; but I’m not sure I want to put money into a game that literally screwed me.
This is yet another problem though.
Now you have higher skilled players in lower tiers so actual lower tiers are literal hell.
It’s almost like forced smurfing. I feel sorry for anyone in gold and below right now. This is not ok.
