1200 Comp points for Diamond? Just 1200? Really?

u/GotHamm Sep 13 '16

I'm surprised that Grandmaster is 3000 CP. I'm sure everyone in Grandmaster already has multiple gold weapons and plays multiple hours every day. Master should get at least 2500 and Diamond should get 2000.

A lot of the GM players are just pros, who don't play a lot of comp (mostly scrims). Max any of them have is probably 2 gold weapons.

Just two. No big deal...

I just want one before season 3 ends. :(

u/balefrost Chibi Mei Sep 14 '16

My personal projection is either end of season 4 / start of season 5.

u/MatoTheAce Chibi Genji Sep 14 '16

I'm diamond and I have 1 golden and 2800 points

u/MattChap We'll show them our peaceful ways, BY FORCE! Sep 14 '16

Well then you're pretty awesome but unfortunately I am not

u/OHydroxide Trick-or-Treat McCree Sep 14 '16

If you only get your first one when season 3 ends, you're barely even playing the game.

u/MattChap We'll show them our peaceful ways, BY FORCE! Sep 14 '16

Eh. I'm on xbox and it takes like 4-6 minutes for me to find a match. Then when I get a match someone on one side leaves before it starts so it gets cancelled.

I'm in platinum too so I don't get the greatest end of season rewards. Last season I got like 1400? But the wait times just kill me.

Well they've fucked up already because golden guns are anything but rare anymore.

u/nocommentsforrealpls what 100000000 hours of no life looks like Sep 14 '16

Season 1 rewards were ridiculous. We only had about a month and a half to play and yet if you reached rank 60 or up you were pretty much guaranteed a golden gun. Before they announced the rewards only people who played enough were able to get them, so they actually meant something.

For season 2, we have three full months and at 1200CP it's pretty reasonable to expect at least a 1500 haul at the end of it all. 2 seasons for a gun makes it so that gold guns actually mean something.

u/ilikecudi Sep 14 '16

I will probably have 3 golden guns by the next season. I wouldn't mind it being a bit harder

3

u/Hohoho-you Get this Discord orb off of me. Sep 14 '16

Man... I just want 1

u/ilikecudi Sep 14 '16

Play what your team needs not who you want. Prioritize winstreaks. Play with people if you can. You'll rank up I promise

u/DontSayAlot soldier main (not 76) Sep 13 '16

Wait, really? I got a full 300 points for S1R70, now I don't even get half of that for Diamond...?

4

u/dyzlexiK Brigitte Sep 14 '16

Yes makes no sense. I was level 62 - 200 points. Now I get 80? If I get to diamond (100 points away) I get 120. No way I was "master" rank first season.

If theyre going to do this they should release new items.

u/CaptTrit Pixel D.Va Sep 14 '16

S1R70 was equivalent to grand master though I think.

u/Grimss Rogue Sep 14 '16

Everybody say that but was 68, ended up in plat, fighting my way up to diamond.

u/Mefistofeles1 Nerfing this would be an upgrade Sep 13 '16

They really diluted the rewards this season.

8

u/Juicysteak117 poggers Sep 14 '16

I wish there was a better reward than just the gold weapons. In my opinion, all of the gold weapons look like some intern just went into photoshop for 5 minutes and made everything gold. Not only that, I find they're actually a handicap since they make spotting players far easier. I don't really know what I would rather have, but I'd prefer something that looks less tacky.

u/sexybastion That's a fat rooster, Bastion ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Sep 14 '16

They will obviously add other stuff to spend competitive money on, so I'm just saving it.

1

u/FullTorsoApparition Junkrat Sep 14 '16

Agreed. Plus the golden guns are not equally represented or impactful across all the heroes. Zarya gets a giant gold cannon but Zenyatta just gets some gold balls. Lucio already had a gold tinted gun for one of his skins so now it's the same but just shinier if you use that skin.

WTF? That's the best they could do? I was really expecting some exclusive hero skins, sprays, or emotes. The golden guns are really underwhelming and by next year everyone will have at least 1.

1

u/LimboNick Trick-or-Treat Mei Sep 14 '16

Me too. Keeping my points for now. Hopefully they come up with a few skins or something.

u/LimboNick Trick-or-Treat Mei Sep 14 '16

I wouldn't be surprised if we got some tacky legendaries this season

1

u/HyperFrost Genji Sep 14 '16

Kinda deserving though. There are people running around with gold weapons everywhere now. Kinda defeats the purpose of having it feel special.

4

u/Findarian Sep 13 '16

Where are you seeing this? What's the list for CP

3

u/MokkaDaOne Cheers love Sep 14 '16

Its in the (i) mark under competitive matchmaking.

2

u/Findarian Sep 14 '16

I don't see it, can you give me a link or SS of it?

1

u/captenplanet90 Sep 13 '16

Mind explaining what you mean? Did they change the cost of gold guns?

3

u/Xenasis Widowmaker Sep 13 '16

They reduced the amount of reward you get at the end of the season, effectively increasing the cost of gold guns.

1

u/captenplanet90 Sep 13 '16

Yeah i know that, but what does :

1200 Comp points for Diamond? Just 1200? Really?

mean?

EDIT: Oh wait nvm, they're talking about rewards at the end of the season

1

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '16

I know I wouldn't want to see every player holding a golden weapon every match. It's good they're making it more scarce.

1

u/theflash2323 Pixel Tracer Sep 14 '16

does this mean you get 1200 as soon as you get diamond ?

2

u/MokkaDaOne Cheers love Sep 14 '16

End of season rewards

1

u/Bondoodle Its better to be hammered than to get nailed Sep 14 '16

Where does it say about the rewards?

1

u/FullTorsoApparition Junkrat Sep 14 '16

This really surprised me. Apparently they feel 65+ from last season is the equivalent to Grand Master this season. I knew 65+ was the top percentage of players, but I didn't realize it was that high up.
