      This game feels so soul sucking right now. My gf and I three stack with a friend and we all have had the experience of this game just sucking the light out of your life in a almost supernatural way. Like even on games where we are winning it just doesn’t hit right anymore.

    Remember that comment from the devs about forced wins/losses and them saying something along the lines of "you will naturally rank up even if youre good. It doesnt matter how your team does."? Yeah, no. This is how most people experience the game. Literally "what else do i have to do?!" Has happened to a lot of people and they still lose. All it takes is one person playing an off character that game to lose. Or someone purposefully playing at 50% to de rank, etc.

    • @neilmallick20
      @neilmallick20 Рік тому +5

      Nah, it's still true. Even if you lose 45% of your games, you still rank up, albeit slowly. and let me tell you brother if you are losing more than 45% of your games, it is a you problem, not a matchmaker problem. look at how you can bring a greater influence to your games as there is a nearly endless amount of ways you can do that. and yeah we all get games where our teammates are monkeys and we go 30-3 while our teammates are 3-10. i don't see how those minority of experiences shape your entire experience other than it's human nature to remember the bad matches.

      1 Year late and this is still true, It doesn't matter how much kills you have, how many healing you have done or how much mitigation you did, As long as one or two people (Doesn't matter what role) play really bad or they don't swap to better suit the map/situation, you're not winning that game, specially if the match is completely unfair by having the enemy team be the most competent people in the world while your team goes 2-8. This game depends entirely on how your team does regardless of how much you try to turn the tables, unless you play with friends that know what they're doing or finding a dedicated comp group, you're not ranking up, and that sucks...

    This is a bit of a hot take but I think after the announcement for PVE getting removed, the community has reached an all-time low in motivation to take the game seriously.
    OWL is not in a great place either. People aren't motivated to improve because OWL gave players some kind of obscene goal of becoming so good they might even reach the level of their favourite Player in OWL.
    The removal of PVE is basically just kicking the dead horse, so the only real reason to grind rank right now is to show off to friends or to have the high ground in discussions about the game.
    I would like to see the community eventually get out of it's slump though. The devs and big corpa might have failed us but OW fans are stubborn as h*ll and will eventually come back with a vengeance

      @@jawaela i don think matchmaking (the mechanics behind it) has changed much in the last 6 years so the "current" matchmaking is the same matchmaking that was always there. Dont get me wrong i agree that it’s completely warranted to be upset by it but the question is why does it feel worse now?
      Personally i think its because since OW2 a lot of new players came in and overwatch is the kind of "shooter" where even if you have decent aim it doesnt matter as much. It takes months or even years to fully learn every mechanic and interaction and map spot in the game and these things matter way more than aim.
      So the problem is that ow matchmaking doesnt care about that, it will put new players on the same team with veterans thinking they are at the same "skill" level which results in 0 team chemistry, a mess of a match and the team that has the most new players in usually looses.
      Im not hating on new players! If they only changed matchmaking to also account for time played along with mmr and sr so that new players play with new players and veterans with veterans i think it would make a huge difference!

      It very much is the ability for the entire team to adjust to a good tank player that is carrying. Just swap to the zen/ana, hanzo/torb/cass and the tank can't do a single thing for the rest of the game. If that tank is the carry player (highest mmr on the team and such) it's just an instant loss when they pick such heroes.

      No I know. When people are topped off or not in danger, they should absolutely lay on some pressure. But when Moira Fades into their backline to leave us all with a single Zenyatta for healing, they’re hurting more than helping. That’s my main thing is healers that shoot first and heal later.
      Edit: especially in Plebe Rank where I’m at. Newbie Moiras who watch a Sick TikTok Clip™️ and think they know how to flank properly and score a ton of kills because some content creator set up a clip with their friends. It works sometimes, but considering Moira offers insane sustain and less damage, I think healing should be the main priority.

Bap however isnt heal first shoot second, because of his tempo he has to be doing both at the same time and even very worth to hard focus dps sometimes even when people are low.

      All fine and dandy, but like I mentioned on my last comment, I’m in Plebe Rank and QP. Not many players have good target acquisition or decent familiarity with their kit or knowledge of any composition. They pick a character they like, or one perceived to be meta and just shoot shit.
      Down here, there’s no good positioning or good teamplay, so everyone takes shittons of damage and is almost constantly in need of healing. Hell, last night I was playing Ramattra, I stood next to a Moira with 10% of my HP left for 15 second saying “I need healing”. Nothing. Kept suckin people off like a College Freshman and huckin damage orbs like a vengeful Ex. That’s my issue.
      I tried pushing back a bit on Eichenwalde, had a Baptiste on the bridge high ground. I’m in clear visible sight below, shield gets shredded by the enemy team, we hold that line for like…I dunno, 20 seconds. No healing, no invul field, no nothing from our Baptiste. Just useless bullets barely hitting anything while we all get massacred because our off-healer was Zenyatta.

    In my experience, this is what ranked has been like for a while in ow2. One or two teammates under perform in some manner, either they have bad positioning, can't get in good picks/plays, and can't keep any of their teammates alive. Doesn't matter what role you play, you have to be noticeably better than everybody in the lobby and have the other teammates realize this, and aid you in any way they can.
    I've also been on both sides, helping a teammate carry, and having to rely on one or two other teammates to carry myself. Either way it is extremely stressful and unfun, even if we win. It's also not fun when it happens to the other team, as if everyone on your team is competent it's a wipe. Only fun is if both teams are evenly matched, which is the minority of games. Too often teams are one sided and you or someone else has to have the game of their life to win.
    This on top of the fiasco earlier last week is the final nail in the coffin for me for and many others that played overwatch 2 I think. The game just isn't fun anymore.

    This is so validating. Ive been saying ranked has been so bad recently. I literally cant win games solo queued right now. I peaked diamond 1 and ive lost so many games sense then I'm down in plat again which I haven't been since OW1. Literally stuck getting gold and silver tanks, I just...I can't carry 4 people all game. Like...the only way I win solo now is if I play widow and almost never miss, its ridiculous.

    Finally I get to see a streamer in a losing streak for once, now this is something I rarely see,,,, ps though this is the reason why I like to stay in gold rank, to prevent this happening to me

    "Where the nut go" - items on tracer don't stick (think pulse bomb). So when tracer recalls the nut falls straight down while shes going backwards in the time stream.

      By that logic, her clothes shouldn't stick also.

    We all have that day where its just loss after loss after loss, even players like you have those days, sure it sucks but its also valuable for learning from your mistakes from positioning to countering, even wether you reload at the right time or not, always something to learn

    Solo queue for ranked is hell, you at least want a support to help you, or a dps if youre diving, cause if not its impossible.
    I remember I played with my brothers friends like 2 games and it felt SO good to have a support actually.keep me alive in 1v1s vs their tank and someone who comms.
    Solo queue is just not it if youre tryna climb high ranked, youre praying you get good teammates that use their brain more than 10% of the time
