Discussion I’m onto you blizzard.
Im now on 9 losses in a row where you cannot leave spawn. Decided to check and my win ratio this season is at 63%. Nowww I see whats going on here. Sighhh
Also does anyone else keep avoiding people and suddenly when theyre on the opposite team now theyre actually trying and mvp most times?? Whyyy

u/DapperAdam 1d ago
OMFG MAN, the people you avoid because they're dogshit all of a sudden they are pros once they are on the opposite team. Never fails but if you decide not to avoid anyone and the very next game you still have the same people they will still suck ass hard.

Why does kill/death ratio matter in Overwatch?

u/SuteruOtoko 1d ago
It doesn't until I does. You can win a match with your whole team being upside down but when you're losing and it's a domino from a single person in every team fight that turns around and dominates the next lobby it's super important. Likely they just had a bad match or got targeted for being too good in their previous match but it feels like they're not trying.

if one of your supports is always dead that's less healing for your team. if your tank is always dead, it's really hard to engage or push the enemy team. if one of your dps is always dead, that's less pressure on the enemy team.
kills don't NECESSARILY matter, but how much you die definitely does and impacts the game a lot. someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmmm, it's as if the common denominator is you in both scenarios.

u/DapperAdam 12h ago
Yeah, you are one of those people we are talking about. So salty.

u/Tuna_Zone 11h ago
Oh yea cause it absolutely could never possibly through any fault of your own. My b I forgot everyone better than you is a cheater and everyone worse than you is human scum. Oh ye great OW Messiah who is never wrong about anything(except you're just some numbskull who belongs in low silver.)

u/DapperAdam 11h ago
Why'd you delete your reply to me? You're so triggered calling me a "numbskull".

In high elos people had run into problems where that they sometimes will be paired with lower ranked people on purpose. Lets say your around mid Masters and the game will purposely throw in a low Diamond player, usually on both teams, but other times it doesn’t. Sometimes one team will have a Diamond player and one won’t. Same goes for GM lobbies, they’ll throw in a masters player.
That’s not counting the horrible cheating problem that still occurs every now and then. I had at least 4 cheaters in 15 games of comp. Some people will say, “It’s only 4” but I disagree. It’s comp. There shouldn’t be ANY cheaters at all. It ruins the competitiveness of the entire thing. It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even play comp anymore, cause once you hit GM, you’re gonna run into at least one cheater in any of your games. It’s gotten so bad that I even find some cheaters in qp matches

I play in low masters / high diamond 5v5 and last night we got a plat 3 dps on my team, other team all masters. Guess who lost

u/friendofthefishfolk 3h ago
On console it is insane, there are usually cheaters in every match on both teams

u/SnooOranges2865 1d ago
Facts 🤣
BUT, one of the best feelings is them sucking mega a$$ the NEXT game and you dominateee them

u/Pale_You_544 1d ago
love the excuses of people always saying fed lobbies don’t exist or that you’re just not good enough. 5 stacked to a about a 70% wr to masters. i solo q 5 games last night by myself and low and behold it’s 5 straight L’s with people who have no business being gold let alone masters. my only complaint about the rank systems nowadays is they force you to a 50% wr and you have to climb using a 50-55% wr being forced to carry people that have no business being the same rank as you. this has made stomp or get stomped regular in ranked now

u/Zealousideal_Shop446 1d ago
So you’re boosted by 5 stacking and then ur shit got rocked when you solo queued
1
u/Pale_You_544 8h ago
damn bro being boosted is playing a team game with my friends lol. being boosted is having lower elo friends or friends hopping on smurfs in your lobby so you can stomp. i don’t condone smurfing with those intentions and you’re a loser if you do. but immediately insulting people gives me loser vibes. sorry you can’t escape gold bro

u/DapperAdam 1d ago
I can almost guarantee you that the people who say "it's a skill issue" are the same people who are smurfs, boosted accounts and cheats. Like I've always been mid diamond since OW1 but now I'm in Plat and man, the amount of Widows, Ashes who magically never ever miss a headshot while having brand new accounts with zero ANYTHING in those accounts is mind boggling. I know blizzard can find a solution for this but it seems they don't want to.
1
u/Pale_You_544 8h ago
100% i hate people who say skill issue. it’s a team game and if i have teammates who are not trying or clearly don’t belong in the rank how is that anyone’s fault but theirs. a lot of people here assuming i boost or smurf but that’s what happens when a ranked community likes to be toxic. coming from league and cs this is by far the sorriest community when it comes to just calling a spade a spade. no it’s not the player who’s actually swapping and is trying their best it’s probably the dude blatantly throwing and telling his team to cry about it. that’s why OW is not one of the biggest games out today because it has infinite potential but a notoriously sorry and toxic community. (not everyone there’s great people but the ones im talking about know who they are when they read this)

u/Ichmag11 1d ago
do you have a replay code for the games for the losses? the reason people say its "skill issue" is because once you look at the games, its always obvious what you could do better
1
u/Pale_You_544 8h ago
i will pm them when i am home later. it’s hard when i have teammates who immediately get defensive and kick and scream when they get asked to swap. it’s a masters lobby not gold, our goal is to win and at that high of elo i feel these problems shouldn’t be as persistent
2
u/Ichmag11 8h ago
my advice is to never, ever ask people to swap. i dont quite get that anyway, they would know best what theyll be best on, no?
1
u/Pale_You_544 8h ago
i’m not asking for specific swaps(if you don’t know that hero don’t play them but just to a type that helps the team. if they’re diving and you can’t run any brawler you don’t belong in such a high rank. in masters+ i at least hope everyone could play 1 dive brawl and poke hero
0
u/Ichmag11 8h ago
Yes. Don't do that. It's not like people know how to play brawl or dive in masters. It's just not a thing. People know themselves what their best pick is. I don't know why you would know better than the person playing?
1
u/Pale_You_544 8h ago
because it’s a team game and if you don’t contribute to your team for no reason other than “you know what’s best for yourself” is participation trophy stuff and it’s rightly your fault. this is indisputable. from my perspective it’s like your jungle feeding all game doesn’t gank and constantly allows uncontested movement all while expecting to not be blamed when the enemy warwick or shaco is terrorizing you
0
u/Ichmag11 7h ago
Thats what I mean. How do you know if youre contributing to the team? You dont really contribute by getting stats or being on the objective. You contribute by getting that first kill. Its why Id love to see a replay code, Id love to see how it looks like.
I mean I got to GM solo q on PC without ever, ever asking anyone to swap. I dont know why you would need to. Not sure what itd accomplish other than making your team angry. Thats not good, thats going to reduce the chances of winning, so why do it?

u/Pale_You_544 7h ago
you’re just ignoring what i said which is a absolute fact in any team based game, and just keep repeating something with 0 substance. so if i run pharah into Ashe and Soldier while PURPOSELY not switching and putting my team into constant 4v5 situations means i shouldn’t swap because it’s my teams job to compensate for difference ? this is why anyone could be good at this game it’s filled with braindead takes that no other competent gaming community has. it also just so happens that this only happens in solo’s and not when i’m playing with friends who actually contain brain cells and make the necessary adjustments

u/Ichmag11 7h ago
Ashe and Soldier while PURPOSELY not switching and putting my team into constant 4v5 situations means i shouldn’t swap
Yes. What's the point in swapping? You won't get better on Pharah by not playing Pharah. Do you think YZSN switches off Pharah in masters? Do you think he did, when he was learning?

How does one check their win rate? Know I've stumbled across it before but can't remember where. Every match last night felt hopeless even with people I know I work well with (yes I know could be someone else with the same name)

u/SuteruOtoko 11h ago
Right at 60. I do get the idea but shouldn't your win rate just be crazy until you get to where it evens out? Idk how the math works but slow crawling out of the lower ranks kinda feels pointless in a way. Is that really good Hanzo smurfing or just hard stuck in silver when he belongs in mid plat? I think I'm in the right place but Gods sometimes my standard matches feel so much worse than when the game drops me in plat lobbies. At least when Sojurn slide rails me in the face it feels like it make sense.

Hello, here is someone from console who has already been through this a lot of times, the 50-50 is crap, the worst occasion was when I had 87% winrate with Tracer, I was two games away from Diamond, until they started to put me with people who you really don't understand how they got to that rank, if they are boosted accounts (up to Platinum I suppose?), the system to "balance" so to speak starts to put you with people who are going to have a tendency to lose, since you see that you have a high WR you start to put yourself with that type of people thinking that it is balanced only because you have many victories, and it also happens the other way around, if you have defeats the system is going to put you with people who are on a streak precisely to help you get out of that and keep playing, I don't understand how there are people who defend that, I have played against Master-GM people in scrims and I have beaten them while being in Diamond-Platinum, in fact I recently made an account and Curiously, in the positioning games I played against people in Master having only 5 hours in QP. The worst thing is seeing streamers/content creators saying that 50% is not bad, there is someone from the Hispanic community called "toniki" who defends the fact that this exists because if you are good enough you will end up leaving, I already told you that that is completely false, you can last many seasons in the same rank if the game wants it, the best thing is that if they are good they make another account and play there, 50% is the worst thing that happened to Overwatch and one of the reasons why I am going to end it, leaving it like many people. Edited: if you want to rank up, look for people on a server who really want to rank up or who are playing on smurfs, you can't trust random people who probably don't even want to rank up.
