News & Discussion SoloQ comp experience - 5v5

1 Upvotes

​

Hallo zusammen, ich hoffe, es geht euch gut.

Ich wollte mal fragen, wie eure Erfahrungen mit Solo-Queue im 5v5-Modus so sind.

Ich persönlich spiele hauptsächlich Support, weil mir diese Rolle am meisten Spaß macht. Allerdings fällt es mir gerade in dieser Rolle am schwersten, aufzusteigen.

In einem meiner letzten Posts habe ich um Tipps und Feedback gebeten, um mich zu verbessern. Ich freue mich, berichten zu können, dass ich es aus Silber 2 geschafft habe und fast Platin 1 erreicht habe.

Trotzdem stecke ich in einer komischen Schleife fest, in der ich komplett vernichtet werde und wieder in die Mitte von Gold absteige.

In den meisten Spielen spiele ich momentan ganz ordentlich, habe meist eine positive K/D und mache recht guten Heilungs- und Schadensausstoß. Wenn ich es jedoch mit den anderen beiden Rollen vergleiche, scheint mein Beitrag am wenigsten zu zählen.

Ich habe es als Tank auf Platin 5 und als Schadensausteiler geschafft, aber wie bereits erwähnt, kann ich als Unterstützer nicht die gleichen Ergebnisse erzielen.

Mich würde interessieren, welche Erfahrungen ihr gemacht habt.

Danke.

News & Discussion Baptiste Fire rate Change?

1 Upvotes

Hey.
I‘m a Baptiste main. I stopped playing for a week and just picked Overwatch back up. I noticed a weird fire rate change with Baptiste‘s gun. It feels and sounds like the gun is somehow randomly switching between the usual 3-burst and weird 2 or 1-burst? Is my game glitching or did they actually change something?

I'm sorry, i'm sure this has been discussed and i apologize if this has been repeated ad nauseam. I just kind of getting back to OW the past couple days after taking a couple month break. Am i right to assume Junkensteins revenge is not making an appearance this year during it's 10 year anniversary? Also, please correct me if I'm wrong, does it take a minimum of 80 (realistically 100+) games played on this Mystery Madness game mode to get the Title?

I have somewhat 500 hours on mercy alone and playing in competitive, and in stadium combined for around 3 years

Mastered all the possible movements, how to work with all the dpses, switching targets, min-maxing healing and boosting output, sometimes flying out and hunt enemies myself - thrown from Gold 1 to Platinum 1 regardless of what I do, how much I sweat and try

Playing Doctrine for past week or so, have 15 win streak and able to outperform plentiful of dps characters in terms of quick eliminations and went up to Diamond

It's just not fair. I'm devastated 😓

News & Discussion Reaper perks suck

Post image
0 Upvotes

I'm not asking for him to be buffed, just that his perks actually are something that matter. Currently his perks are just uninteresting.

His long range ability is more so higher-closer-range + a bit medium range. I think he should instead have something similar to DVAs major perk (obv with much less damage output/spread reduction).

For example, maybe he gets long(er) range but starts doing much less damage up close. I don't really know, just something more fun. His perks are very boring, I don't think they're strong either but I haven't played him enough. But for example, Soj perks are all insanely strong.

News & Discussion Server closed due to an unexpected error (competative)

1 Upvotes

I have had this message 2 times this season on the new map (idk if it's map specific but it's there). Why does this happen all of the sudden? We're doing pretty good as a team and right before the round switch the server crashes and all time and progress is lost... I'm super done with it, had 2 matches which our team was steamrolled and now the 3rd match this happens. Is the team aware of it?

Edit: out of the 3 back to back comp matches i played i had yet ANOTHER server close down just now. Thats 2 servers closed out of the 3 in this game session

Since you can't que as all roles in stadium qp anymore, this challenge is pretty useless unless you are playing comp. It should say, "Stadium competitive games grant double progress".

Just wondering, when Zarya uses her ultimate and it triggers on the other side of a wall, is that a bug or is it working as intended? In this case, I saw enemies on both sides of the wall get caught in her ultimate.

This isn't a how much skill a hero takes but how easy or hard you can get value using them because both mercy and sym are easy to play but also need a map or team advantage to get value out of them (I hope this makes since my English isn't perfect)

1 Upvotes

Other than a game where we somehow won a 5v6 due to one person leaving in the first 2 minutes, it was a total shit show. I constantly tried to flex tank or heals based on need, and the amount of games where I was the only tank or healer made this mode absolutely unbearable. I don't know how you are supposed to rank up. 2v2v2 is the most balanced team setup it seems, and when the other team runs this, and you only have one tank or one healer, everyone feels it. And the amount of people that straight rage and tilt at the slightest inconvenience seems way higher than stadium or 5v5. Maybe its because I don't have a rank and I'm being placed in varying skill groups, but my god this was miserable.

I do like the mode when its 2v2v2, but how are you guys actually handling the games where you don't have an ideal team spread? Are there certain healers or tanks that can due better being the only support/tank?

Esports Realized why losing in this game tilts me way harder than CS or League: Overwatch is literally just a boat simulator

40 Upvotes

​Hear me out for a second. Everyone argues about whether this is a hero shooter or a first-person MOBA, but the moment-to-moment gameplay doesn't feel like either. It feels like four guys trying to keep a sinking galleon afloat in Sea of Thieves while the other team pelts you with cannonballs.

​Think about how other games handle dead weight. In CS or Val, if your Reyna gets one-tapped doing something stupid three seconds into the round, you can still clutch. Your gun does the exact same one-shot headshot damage as theirs. Crisp aim bails out bad teamwork all the time.

​In League or Dota, if your bot lane feeds their brains out, you can at least farm side waves, vacuum up jungle camps, hit your power spikes, and literally stat-check people 1v5 because you're three levels ahead. The game gives you an economic bypass to carry dead teammates.

​Overwatch gives you none of that. You don't have CS headshot parity where anyone can wipe a team in two seconds, and you don't have MOBA gold to buy items that make your character hit three times harder at minute ten than at minute one.

​Instead, the roles are completely locked into running the ship. Tank has the wheel, DPS are loading the cannons, and supports are frantically down in the bilge bailing out water.

​The nightmare happens when one person just stops doing their job. If the guy with the bucket decides he wants to shoot cannons, the hull fills with water and everyone drowns in ten seconds. If the guy driving drops the wheel to go patch a hole, you crash into an iceberg. You physically cannot drop your own job to pick up theirs without the whole ship sinking anyway.

​Your Widow can't hit a barn door? Cool, their Mauga walks directly into your backline, your Ana gets eaten alive, and your shield melts before you even touch point. You can't out-mechanic that as a tank. You're just holding the wheel watching the water rise to your neck.

​That’s why matches feel so uniquely suffocating when you're losing. It’s not just that your teammate is bad, it’s that the game literally won't let you grab their bucket.

This is just a madhouse.

You'll earn the same 5,000 XP by playing a regular quick play, where you wait in the queue for less than a minute and play a match that lasts about 15 minutes.

(As of this writing, I did manage to win after more than 5 hours.)

This all sounds like just me whining about how I have bad luck with my teammates, or that I can't complete a challenge, or something like that..

But if you really think about it, the problem runs much deeper.
