Nothing changed!

OW2 same old s**t just little bit of makeup!

Lying, empty promises, less communication … when will you actually start doing some valid improvements ?

Not gone do everything in details, just gone mention few that are currently getting on my nerves.

Match making in competitive games.
After every few wins I’m getting trolls/grifters and then lose same amount games or even more and I see changes the moment you start winning or you play good match system puts u in 2-3 division higher.
For example I’m climbing through gold again in role queue (plat in open que) and this is how I make hero choices, I always try to counter enemy hero for example, Zarya > Dva, then I’m trying to pick something that make good comp, like hog and junk (two traps combo) and of course hero that I’m at most familiar with. Most of my team members are not doing that, so no matter how polite u ask them to swap, they just ignore you or call you toxic, insult you, call you name, insult you family members and so on. Same story as it was before, nothing changed.

This is way I was so much looking forward to “guild” system (another false promise by blizzard) because when you are in guild, and you play competitive games with your guildies and you are not willing to adopt/change/make compromises in order to win, you will be left out. Like in World of Warcraft for example, if you are guild, needs of many overcome your needs in order to succeed, you will have to play what is needed, what is most suited for encounters/games that you play (raid, mythic dungeons or pvp (arenas/BGs)). Try to grief there and see what will happen, it will be bye bye, guild kick, go grif as much as you want but you will have to do it solo.

PVE missions
So no “guilds” and now no general chat … so finding people to do missions and unlock Sojourn skin, not possible. Now you have to search on forum/discord etc to find communities to do anything, which is okay, but point is it would be much easier if there are systems implemented in game it self.

I said I would be short but I just keep typing … all in all noting much changed in game or community life/gaming, I could say it’s even getting worst … there is almost no communication what of ever and even when it happens it’s so of tracks … false accusation and insults are on time high … not sure where is this leading but it’s sad.

I truly like the game/idea/story of Overwatch, that message from “Recall” cinematic “…never accept the world as it appears to be, dare to see it for what it could be.” … it keeps me coming back, but I’m getting tired really tired.

P.S.
Sorry about my grammar, not my first language.
(To many “grammar n a z i” theses days just waiting to make some negative comment.)

Just quick Edit, role ques, tank roll, went from 3-0 to 3-7 because to grifing trolls.

Does it really make sense to complain that you’re stuck in gold/silver without posting any replay codes and keeping your profile private? you will understand that the situation is stuck in “my word against yours”: what do we know if you actually have the ability to deserve better? on what basis? your personal narrative doesn’t really interest anyone, as you are DEFINITELY not interested in reading that of others who show nothing of what they claim they deserve to climb. it’s the gameplay and statistics you do that count before complaining about coordination with others (and obviously HOW you communicate with others, unprovable). replay codes of your last 10 matches?

I quite agree that they wasted the “guilds” factor, but in my opinion the biggest mistake was eliminating the “create a group” in which you could actually have the microphone and the precise ranks of whoever you wanted as a mandatory requirement (and for us Europeans, the convenience of asking people of nsoptran nationality). did you use them? if yes ok, if not… well the solo q scales works only if you take advantage of the metas when they are particularly broken, while your favorite picks only work if you communicate seriously with people.

is a relatively false statement: the only requirement to get that skin is to complete all three missions on any difficulty. put it on normal and the game starts after 1 minute of waiting without players, making you enter an AI that is embarrassing for how easy it is to take down (But probably because I’m used to more fast-paced vs IA games like Serious Sam games :sweat_smile:). Rather, it is wrong for Blizzard to put unique rewards in difficulties that are actually too high to play alone (as extreme - legendary). but they are literally sprays, people knows they aren’t able to having them until Blizzard tries to solve this enormous replayability problem (in my opinion, it can only be solved by setting everything up as a single player with difficulty that can be increased when you have friends in party, not with 4 difficulty queues for each mission).

you should be less prejudiced about who you talk instead to immediately imagine that they will attack you for your grammar by calling them “naz”. :sweat_smile:

Cyclone, as in the Mei player used to stream on twitch (and that discord server)? If so, your streams were chill. Good to see you still playing, even if you’re not enjoying it so much.

But yeah, it’s sad to see the game slowly crumbling away, with a community spreading misinformation because the Devs leave things open to some interpretation. Bad game modes like quicker play.

True statement for everyone there sadly. But no need to be that rude to cyclone about it. It’s not what their post was about.

(I think a couple of peeps think we’re the same person btw lol)

Not one of my post was made to have discussion with other players, reason why I post is to express my personal opinions and experience.

I absolutely do NOT care what you or any other player thinks of my claims, what I do care if blizzard keep their promises and improve game.

He has a valid point. That being, team play completely disappearing over each itteration.

The game initially came out with teams in mind. That hardly happened for the majority, year is 2016. Game evolves more and more towards an FPS shooter with skills, and we both know there are better ones out there; APEX, Valorant and now Finals.

I have no solid idea how to fix it. Sad thing is, it doesnt matter how fast the game play is these type of games always died. Paragon (slow), Fractured Space (faster). They require a certain finesse to master and also patience to learn. I guess ppl are just looking for the cheap trill without investing. Welcome to 2024 gaming!

if you improve so much you are borderline smurfing in your current rank you will overcome anything.

my buddy even said matches in master are far easier than in gold / plat since in masters 1 kill is enough, while in gold / plat you need more like 3-4 kills to get your team moving.

I never ever blame my team. sure they might be brain afk but that doesn’t change how well i can play.

in the end i can only affect my own Performance and if i keep playing like a diamond or low master in my plat games i will slowly but surely leave the brain afk players behind.

yes tank, support or dps could have done X but what could i have done so they wouldn’t need to do anything? thats a high rank mind set.
never expect anything and assume you have to do everything yourself.

be glad when there is teamwork but never ever expect it.

the only question you really should ask is: posting replay code what can i have done different? what can i improve? whats my major mistake holding me back?

not, was my tank thorwing? did my supports not heal enough? are my dps blind?
what do you do with that? yeah that 1 player you never encountering again played bad gg now get gm?

my friend is constantly reviewing my gameplay reminding me of the major mistakes i do and i am littleraly clowning on other plat players now which used to be my hard ceilling.

solo q littleraly feels like i am smurfing.
