My goal last night was to win 2 in a row... on about 12 hours total sleep in 3 days... Never achieved it.. went from 4 games over .500 to 8 games under .500

I want to have fun making autistic theories too!!!!!!!! -----------SEASON 7-------------- 1: Dany lands on Westeros, logically she'll hit up King's Landing first then later deal with Iron Islands if she still plans to honor her pact. This also gives time to develop Euron further into...

should be shut off. We need a blue post on KOTH issue in ranked - Overwatch Forums Edit: As soon as I posted, just got in a KoTH map... Lijiang Tower... now to see if fixed.

All games have hackers and smurfs and they are as likely to be on your team as the opponent's.

Do the best players always manage to get top ranked? There is no Elo hell. If you just mean a certain tier is more toxic than another, then sure.. but we're talking about ranking up, not toxicity.

FACT: You won't win every game. FACT: There will be some losses that are caused by others FACT: There will be some losses where you're the sole reason for the loss. FACT: Some games are just unwinnable. FACT: Some games are just unloseable. FACT: Elo Hell is a myth. Conclusion: Over...

We need a blue post on KOTH issue in ranked - Overwatch Forums Before Jeff's comment there was enough player evidence to confirm it, though. And the post below is from yesterday and it quotes the "investigating" post from the 28th as "more info": Remove KOTH from ranked, then -...

Oh, I meant on these forums. Definitely tons of raging in game. Pretty sure if you are the leaver you'll get Leaver Penalties, even when it's first 30 sec. Might not lose rating but might not be able to play ranked, either

Oddly enough, not too much bitching about teammates happening so far, from what I've seen

The KoTH bug is confirmed, not psychological. You'll never see massive gains or losses on KoTH until it's fixed. From reading more about it, my understanding about what's happening is that KoTH maps are registering only 1 "game/round" rather than the 3-5 that it actually is.

I'm really curious how that bug affects placements, too... Losing on KoTH in placements could have had almost no affect whereas losing other maps might have bombed your rating. I guess this first Season is mostly a wash now since that bug has affected so much... At one point I was 72% win...

Well this makes a shitload of sense: Ranked KotH is bugged, you will only receive 10-20% of your MMR - win or lose : Overwatch Ended up playing a bunch of KoTH last night but didn't piece together why I was gaining/losing so little. So basically KoTH maps don't mean shit atm. You'll gain like...

I agree.

Not sure if accurate, but according to Seagull, the penalty you avoid is the Leaver Penalty (getting banned/suspended from Rank by Leaving too much), however you'll still suffer Rating adjustments. Apparently they don't consider losing Rating a Penalty.

Actually climbing has more to do with + than %. If you hover at .500 for 100 games then all of a sudden go on a 20 win streak, you're now 20 games over .500. Now if you hover at that point for another 100 games, your rating is same, still 20 over .500, won't climb till you increase that. So at...

Master Overwatch has a neat graphic.. Rank 50/51 seems to be about the 50% mark in terms of skill, 77 is highest and 34 lowest atm. Note that only people that input their ID will be logged on the site Master Overwatch Leaderboards for Overall on PC (US)

lol I feel like we'll be seeing a lot of posts about this crazy MMR shit. I don't understand it at all. 3/4 into 48 after 3 wins... then 2 losses demotes me to 47... 1 win puts me from 75% to 80% in 47... fucking lol.

I think there's something buggy too... like you gain A LOT less if the match was a stomp, regardless if the player ranks are similar. Im 10-4 overall and still only 48. Also Seagull was saying performance likely a factor and supports/tanks dont gain as much as carries

Not all 6 mans are good though and we don't know the matching algorithm, it could bump up the MMR for a premade. The intro screen should give you the ranking averages so we'll be able to guess how it works eventually. A premade of rank 40s might get paired against a bunch of rank 50 solos, as an...

I gotta believe he meant to say Pirate warrior... idk though, makes no sense otherwise

You'll see if you're against premades, it shows you who is grouped on the intro screen. So far I've played no premades. All 10 matches everyone is solo.

Golden guns were 300 points to buy and it looks like you get 1 point per win, so need to win 300 matches each weapon. Winning more = faster purchases! If the formula is anything like LoL, the first match(es) are much more heavily weighted than the latter matches. Placements is a method to get...

7-3 and 48 rating.. bleh. The first few games were most challenging, started 1-3. After that I could tell my MMR tanked hard because rest were pretty easy, won 6 straight to finish. Had to carry most games. Gold elims/damage. Never faced another level 100+ player after those first few games...

Matchmaking also takes into account location. So you & Val probably have similar pings. Still rare but once narrowing it down so much, not too unexpected.

My fingers don't work properly in LoL anymore. Sucks! The isometric view vs 1st person really fucks me too.

Oh yay, rage-mode activated.

potg is just never going to be very accurate in a game like this. Too many variables. Do you show off a game winning play, flashy plays, rare achievements, or what? Yesterday on Attack on Anubis we were stalemate for a good 5mins, I find an opening to Reaper Ult on the point, eliminating 2...

So who kills Cersei? Jaime, Arya, Tyrion, Dany, Queen of Thorns, Drogon, Other? You can make a great case for any of them. Will The Hound ever get to face The Mountain?

Great Finale, Great Ep9. Varys: He specifically told Tyrion, "You know something went wrong if I don't return". So clearly he had to return to relay the news that a pact has been formed or whatever. The bigger jump to me was Arya appearing at the Twins so quickly. But this show time-jumps...

Think he means classic. Rag and sylvanas everywhere

I've noticed some of this but main thing I attribute it to is burnout or hype dying down. I've had 20+ RR friends online nightly, now it's like 5-10 at peak. Without Competitive there are no "hooks" to keep you in game. Probably also some people that just moved on already. I don't think...

Yea I've been trying out Zarya too, she takes a bit to get used to, but strong. I'd argue that none of her kit is very intuitive. Her Left & Right clicks are deceptive, hard to gauge ranges. Takes a bit of practice to nail down the left/right clicks. Shield usage is fairly straight-forward at...

I like the Time Bank idea for Payload. Draws are fine too imo, especially if they are rare enough. It probably will feel good as both teams played very well. Draws need to happen like 5% or less so it's only 1 every 20 games or so. Really happy that Competitive comes next patch.

Got in a bunch of games last night and was working on some of my less played heroes like Pharah, Tracer, McCree... holy balls I was sucking so hard with Pharah and McCree. Then I remembered about all the sensitivity talk on here, next game lowered it down to 6 from 10 and I got gold elims with...

Damn, Seagull on PTR just got matched against a good player (Shadder2k) and they've basically been dueling. Counter-picking into each other, eventually both landed on Pharah and they were having an epic aerial battle. Match is still going, Seagull doesn't have his pocket Mercy cause he can't...

Noodle, I really didn't care too much but I've also been functioning on lack of sleep and get maybe 2-3 rounds a night unless I want to cripple myself next day. I am perfectly happy joining RR groups without the intention to win, but I might not bail out of as many games anymore. Most invites...

I like HanzoDon't know if we've grouped yet? We almost never have snipers in RR groups. I know there was recent debate about Hanzo but I think he's pretty strong. Not bad on Offense, either. His Ult charges fast enough to help a lot with pushes.

I feel like Genji can excel anywhere if you're competent with him. Most players aren't. He's like Tracer on steroids. Dude can fly all over and wreck anyone. When learning these "harassers" Defense is probably the worst mode compared to playing heroes with AoE or CC. I'll take a competent...

I'm not raging btw, It's just about expectations. When I see RR invites I'm usually like "oh, cool, a RR group, usually we do really well together!". Even on these forums most comments about RR groups is the teamwork is a lot less rage-inducing. Even when we do lose, people still tried or the...

On the topic of learning heroes. I appreciate the numerous RR group invites but it's really disappointing when people from here are willing to sacrifice games to learn a hero. ie: No swapping or anything to improve chance of winning. Forget who it was, Nidhogg or Noodle or someone 2 nights ago...
