No longer a team based game anymore

  • Get banned for anything on team chat, match chat etc…
  • Get banned for even speaking.
  • Duoing or stacking gives you wide match groups that are 2x or even 10x longer than average queue times and the teams you play against are obscenely ridiculous.
  • Venture is OP in lower ranks, I can’t say much for the higher ranks and most venture players I’ve seen literally FEED.
  • Supports don’t support.
  • Tanks are braindead 50% of the time and you can get one shot by a support.
  • DPS is the only role that doesn’t feel that bad to me unless you 1v1 a support.

Being hardstuck in Plat for many seasons after obtaining diamond a couple of times then the derank system comes into place… It’s the most UNMOTIVATIONAL thing Blizzard has done, I hit my peak and you lose it all… But now playing in Plat on my legacy account has given me 70% of the time new players and I can tell they are new players without even thinking about… The random ults, the “i’m new to this” comment, the “i’m trying a hero out for the first time” comment… The absolute bad positioning that even bronze players would do better.

Season 10 hasn’t been the most fun for me imo, it’s got a great BP and the mythical prisms aren’t a bad idea… But will comp ever get better?

I don’t think it will. The matchmaking is no where near the quality what Overwatch was. The matches are one-sided generally. In the previous Overwatch, it was generally good balanced fun matches.

At least they’re starting to bring back functionality that worked in Overwatch for instance the instant feedback/SR updates rather than constant placements. Just shows that their changes introduced into this game were wrong/terrible.

If only they went to the community first…

Yes it’s all broken game now. Can’t even play with my 3 RL friends together cause wide group don’t allow 4 players… what a crap season this is going to be.

Yeah, the 4 stack rule is unfortunate. But needed to enforce the queue rules they have now.

Makes sure you get more solo players playing with solos, and stacks with stacks.

Still needs tweaks. The wide group stuff doesn’t seems to work as intended just yet.

They did. They had a survey about all this stuff late last summer.

That’s a little too late, OW2 was released way before then.

And the stacking rules came later.

They also had a survey back in early 2020 that covered pretty much everything we’ve seen in OW2.

We as a community had our say.

And now you’ll randomly get post match surveys to give your opinion.

If you’re not invited to the surveys you’re either unlucky, or they don’t want you.

I wouldn’t mind getting a survey some day.
But i’m guessing since i did get beta access to ow2 back in the day they’re avoiding me so they can’t be blamed for favoritism.

I think it’s just totally random. I got the pre OW2 one. That included stuff about monetisation, game modes, 5v5, customisable skins and much more.

I only know of the stacking one because a friend got it and sent me screen shots.

No change they’ve made to the game has come without getting some feel for the players opinion. Which is why they don’t respond to 6 people on the forums upset about stuff.

Likewise. Good shout, it could be the case.

It Is kinda hard…based Heroes were designed and got synergy in 6v6
Rein Zarya, Winston Dva, Orisa Hog.
stata creep and reinventing whole thing Is difficult

i enjoy 5v5 and Heroes etc
but ranked quality has dropped

and i wonder if we had same game support back then, what game could It possibly be.
i also hated double Shield more than GOATs

maybe you should learn how to communicate with people after all?

bro it’s EU, communication does not exist in this server and even if there is any sign of communication I do my best to call things out but you need to understand that it’s low elo, its not masters, GM, top 500 so not much is said in at least 70-80% of these games unless you have a full stack.
