Ive been around overwatch for quite some time . and since the very start i started filling roles wich was and i belive still is what Overwatch’s all about . Thing is after brigitte’s release ,since i was ( as you can expect ) only filling as support or tanks wich are the roles that in general are missing from most quickplay or ranked play matches I started to realise that filling roles . will only punish you in the long run if you ever want to swap to a dps role or an aim realted hero . you dont have the option to ajust the matchmaker to try and get used to the new hero as a new player would . and when you even dare to go competitive after you managed to learn that sertain hero . the match maker will propably put you in a team setup that favors your most played role . aka tanks . thus making the purchase of a new Overwatch account almost mandatory for learning new heros or roles to a competitive level . What are your thoughts on that subject ?
This is something that can be learned in QP, DM, etc.,too. It isn’t important that you win every game but rather that you improve. In competitive, however, you should play at you best performance.
Learning a hero “on a competitive level” can be done outside of competitive mode. When it just clicked, you can go to competitive and improve with that hero in terms of teamwork and cooperation. Other than that, any other mode suffices.
This is completely false. MM doesn’t have a Role queue. It doesn’t consider your main and creates a team based on their preferred roles or heroes. It is simply random and only based on your MMR / SR.
Not mandatory, but recommended. The MMR reset simply allows you to learn a new hero on a rank you deserve to play that hero. I reckon to learn multiple heroes on an alt account so you can still be flexible when necessary.
I understand and agree with your points to some extent but the point i was trying to make and it seems i failed to do so is :: that a player that has been playing primarely tanks to try and fill ,with the curent state the game is now when he or she desides to go dps roles ,put them selfs in a sort off punishment pit sort of say . one way ? go back to playing tanks wich will most likely be equal of RP ing as a punching bag with all the cc and anti tank utility that exists in game OR keep trying to improove at dps with teams that flame you in to oblivion and dps mains that camp you non stop … - hope i made my point of view clear here its kinda hard with dislexia kicking in every word i atemt to type -Mostly made this post to start a discusion on that mater and for my self to vent some of that pentup anger and frustration so i wont snap mid game on my team by “accident”
So in other words, playing tank feels frustrating and trying another round causes flaming.
Well, one way can’t be fixed but the other way can. MM does put you in a team full of random people so you can’t expect to do whatever you want, including playing off-main characters. If you want to learn new heroes, I reckon you to play with firends or find a group via LFG who would be chill if you try out a new hero.
i understand. glad we had this exchange most certenly helped venting off and shacking up my preception a bit . Cheers <(^-^)>/
