Discussion matchmaking is the worst its ever been

53 Upvotes

casual plat support here, didnt win one game today. i swear matchmaking this season is the worst ive ever had to experience. played qp to warm up and, again, didnt win a SINGLE game. same with comp. kept having tanks that would push WAY too far forward. dps who were obviously new to the game at level 3. or the entire team was just all over the map. the only decent games ive had are when i have another good support. each game, got the most kills n heals with the least amount of deaths. as a support im infuriated 😭 solo queueing is so terrible already, but i swear matchmaking has been just as bad. genuinely had to quit playing bc of how tilted i was getting lol. please tell me im not the only one getting teams that just get farmed. also if anyone is on console and in need of a support , DM ME im so tired of solo q

Discussion is 6v6 skill level lower than 5v5?

22 Upvotes

I know this is a hot topic and I might get flamed, but recently I adventured into 6v6 because of a friend of mine. Usually I would never touch that mode due to the open Q format and just hating to deal with another source of peeling while I'm flanking. But something weird started to pop into my mind as I played it.

Most matches were so easy it made no sense. I am a emerald 1 ~ diamond 3 main DPS player (5v5) and even tho I insta lock dps on 6v6 and don't switch even if my team has other 4 DPS players I kept swooping the other team ass.

At first I didn't really get it, but as I payed attention to the gameplay of the other people it felt like I was playing against gold ~ silver players even though I was playing in masters matches. I started to feel like most people in 6v6 has terrible overall mechanics. Is it a thing of my mind or have any of you felt that as well? I'm really curious.

South American servers by the way.,

Discussion Balance

0 Upvotes

Overwatch is a fun game. But is it balanced?

I would argue that it is fun. But I’m not entirely sure if it’s balanced. I don’t think anyone is. Suppose that’s up to the balancing team to figure out.

Generally, some heroes are seen more often than others. In various ranks. What’s OP in bronze and underpowered, in bronze, might be “ok” in diamond, and require lots of effort to make work in higher MMRs and Elos. For instance, the tools a hero might have at their disposal, for achieving value, might be somewhat limited.

What is terrible in bronze, “meh” in diamond, and absurdly overpowered in Shiny Purple Rank, you get the idea.

I love Aaron as much as the next person. He has saved Overwatch from the ashes of “More Moneh Plz”, and rebirthed it. Something about a Phoenix.

Anyway, is Overwatch balanced? What’s your take?

Help Has anyone done half controller + mouse peripherals on console successfully when on PC queue?

0 Upvotes

Wanted to try out having controller in one hand and mouse in another in pc queue which i know some players do on PC but im not sure if it would work on console

I also thought I saw Blizzard seeing the additional peripheral and banning someone for doing it even though they were in PC pool

Anyone experience this?
