I have played team death mach 4vs4 today as moira.
We had a leaver most of the game so we were 3vs4 most of the time. We won, I had 4 golds, 17kills 4 death and earned 16sr only.
Other game I was getting 30sr for reasonably lower stats. If your stats and the fact that we were 3vs4 most of the time don’t reflect performance on sr gain/loss that proves there is serious flaw with the system.
So how about instead of keep developing new heroes Blizzard would actually try to fix their game. Before they were bought there was a lot more frequent update acknowledging the problems, but now it’s nothing but trying to make money, ignoring smurfs and hacks ruining tiers, majority of players therefore in ranks where they don’t belong, therefore climbing unless you are a smurf/cheater from low level is nearly impossible regardless of your performance.
Just played torb on blizzard world map, 4 golds, 14kills, 2 death, +23sr.
Proly facing less experienced foes. Or ur rite and the game is whack
Overwatch = smurfs
Blizzard disinteresting about the issue.
As someone who’s owned a minimum of around 8 Overwatch accounts, I can safely assure you that you very quickly rise to the rank you’re supposed to be at. And it would be a chore to throw games to lose SR back to where you can stomp again.
Smurfing really isn’t as much of a big deal as people make it out to be. Just because the enemy team has a low-level player who is doing well, doesn’t make them a smurf. They could very well be a 2000hr player on a new account, just having a good game in the SR they belong in.
I frequently get called a smurf while playing in Diamond on a level 90 account, but Diamond is my SR this season, it’s where all of my accounts placed and where I dip hover around/dip below 60% winrate.
440/5000
Your answer is incomplete. The fact that matchmaking throws you up quickly if your game level is higher has nothing to do with the fact that another player can buy a box and start his path (ruining the matches to the players in front of him up to reach his rank). The problem is that as long as access to the ranked is immediate the influx of smurf will be too high to dispose of it.
Getting to level 25 takes quite some time now, it was pretty easy in 2017, but since the XP level rework it’s much more grindy.
Just had a game playing healer. My game has frozen, I had to restart my pc. I have rejoined the game and won. I have received a 50sr loss and a suspension for 25mins…
So returning to th game to get punished for winning and suspended when it’s the game that fails… Never seen such a stupid system in my whole life.
Are they punishing the honest players to have nothing but trolls, smurfs and idiots play this game??? Is it on purpose???
I’ve disconnected and crashed a lot, usually the sistem doesn’t punish u if u return. There might be some time limit, I usually reconnect prety quick tho
