They say they’re going to do a rank reset but that’s not even real
Why not just make it a full reset
Yeah there’s going to be a bit of “chaos” but so what that could be fun
If they did a proper reset I would be Champion instead of stuck in my rank
If they did a full mmr reset, it would take a few weeks and then you’d likely be back in the same matches that you’re in now.
It would only change things for a little bit. But technically starting a brand new account is a full mmr reset.
Well I don’t want to do that because I have all my cool skins
Rank/competitive integrity is at an all-time low and people don’t trust the system anymore (for good reason) it’s time they did a proper reset
If what you say is true that nothing would change then what’s the harm? Why are the devs afraid to hit the reset button and restore some faith in the system?
A full rank reset means that you start climbing rank from 0, giving you the cleanest start to ranking possible.
If the mmr was fully reset, there’s a chance that you’d repeatedly get rolled by gm players and caused your brand new mmr and rank some really bad damage.
I don’t want an mmr reset, since i don’t want to play against masters and gm players, the occational diamonds are still managable with teamwork.
On the other hand, since low rank players are greater in number than high rank players, you’d just end up playing against low rank people. Which could artificially inflate your mmr, after which you’d be against high skill players who could end up rolling you repeatedly.
You’d end up near where you started in both cases.
Let them try I’ll embrace the challenge!
If their system is good and accurate and fast at determining skill (which they claim it is) then there should be no issue right?
They can build up the player data again it shouldn’t be that hard if they have a good solid algorithm
Feels like they want to hold on to their data no matter what and that makes me a bit suspicious and makes me want a clean slate all the more
Just wipe the slate clean once and for all no excuses there has never been a better time actually since we are moving into a new era of revitalised competitive overwatch if they are to be believed?
You did say you had trouble with a single orisa. Imagine that happening for ages until your new mmr settles.
That orisa and people who play even better than that, going against you for possibly hundreds of games until the mmr settles.
It has the potential to alienate a big percentage of the player base, that is why the devs won’t do it. It wouldn’t be fun or rewarding for anyone.
No I said that it goes against the philosophy of reducing stuns in the game I think you misunderstood the point of that thread?
It was one of the worst games I’ve experienced but that’s because of the sheer amount of CCs etc
You understand they’ve already alienated much of the competitive player base through lack of transparency and player trust has eroded to an all-time low? Now there’s never been a better time to do a proper reset
It would alienate the casual players but those are the players you don’t really want in competitive right? Truly competitive players will embrace the challenge
No you wouldn’t Hulk. You were diamond. You’ll probably end up plat/diamond if they did a full reset, same as me. Champion is going to be considerably harder to get to than GM is now. And you’ve never made it to GM.
Why bin off 7+ years of data just for some chaos. Would be a really naïve thing to do.
I agree there is too much CC… But the example you showed was a poor one.
Then makd a new account you are useless

There is less cc. Only tanks have cc instead of every other hero.
And orisa isn’t that difficult to kill even with all that cc (coming from a mercy main who’s killed several)
Casuals are what makes up quite a bit of the playerbase. Casual players don’t play comp at all, so the argument is moot.
Their system relies on a lot of existing data. It’s only fast in comparing a player to other players, getting them close to their skill tier quite quickly.
But if the system had nothing to compare to, it would put everyone onto the same line until it has enough data to compare to.
If you have no data to compare to, you don’t get reliable results.

Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes - February 13, 2024:
Hey devs this is good but just give us a proper reset not this half measure
You say push closer towards average but push how much exactly
The players are fed up of being mislead with vague statements full transparency going forward please show us the MMR
This is false
Furthermore one tank in particular has an excessive amount of it with few ways to avoid it
Mind showing some videos where you single-handedly take them down with ease then?
If you’re able to do that easily on mercy then that means the Orisa just played the hero poorly
Even high rank players struggle to kill her
Also another problem is that she body blocks Rein’s escape
This is false
Casual players do play comp moreover there will be even more casual players in competitive next season with the cool new green weapons
Hulk. Players like yourself, who think the game conspires against you, will never be content.
They’ll show you MMR and you’ll claim it’s wrong and rigged. They earn nothing by pandering to people like you.
(Well written for a Brazilian though… That’s got to be the funniest lie you’ve told. Appreciated it.)
A vaque statement isn’t the same as being mislead. You cause the misleading yourself if you read too far into a statement.
There are also nda’s that keep the devs from telling too much.
Not to mention that they don’t want to give concrete statements because if they then don’t reach that goal, they will have officially broken a promise.
It’s safer to say “we’re working on it” than say what the goal is, thst way they still have the freedom of looking at several solutions instead of being locked into one that might not work in the long run.
I would guess that it’s the equivalent of a complete rank. Masters shifting closer to diamond, diamonds to plat etc. This is just a guess though, we’ll see just how it’ll work and how much worse the matchmaker will feel as a result.
Then who else has stuns and abilities to affect enemy movement?
Where did i say i solo killed them? I don’t have any video capture software, nor a youtube account to share them from. You’d be surprised how many people don’t.
It comes down to team synergy and focus fire. You ought to know that if you claim you should be champion.
Any and every tank just melts if your team focuses them. Even if both supports try to keep her alive at the time she will die. No amount of healing can outdo focused damage.
Get her dps first(or support) and she’s as good as dead.
Dps so that your team can solely focus on the orisa without the fear of getting flanked.
Let’s rephrase that. Casual people don’t want to play comp. Why else do you think there are new weapon skins attatched to it as incentive to play the mode?
I only played comp for 3 seasons to get a rough estimate of my skill compared to the rest of the players. I haven’t touched it since or before that which is clearly visible on my profile.
I do prefer it if people take the matches seriously. I would prefer to play full matches (both defence and attack rounds). But i would prefer it if i didn’t need to go to comp for that as i feel that i’m not serious enough about climbing to play the mode.
I’m sure i’m not the only one either.

Definitely aren’t. Quick play should be the full match, just without having your rank, SR and MMR on the line. Just a place to enjoy the game.
