More people in silver are there to ruin your experience than actually try so I'm not sure why you'd think it's an enjoyable place to play. You wouldn't be playing against anyone actually playing or trying at all it would just be 10 dudes with nothing better to do jerking themselves off until a team manages 16 rounds.

e: Speaking of jerking off, I just got overwatch, fun. 162 Comp matches won.

This is why alt accounts are fun. I have three at GN1, MG2, and I just placed the third in DMG, but I plan on tanking these fuckers with gimmicks.

I said it, because I didn't bother to check because GN4 was a reasonable enough centre point that I assumed it would not have moved further south.

Alright, watched it.

It's hard to glean much from this match, since you rarely entry frag T side, and are super passive CT side, your team does most of the work here.

I always say if you aren't feeling confident and aren't being aggressive, at least shove yourself in there and let your team get the trade.

You were a passenger big time, almost like you were afraid to make a mistake or be criticized by your team. Don't be afraid to fail.

Crosshair placement not the best, but o.k. at times. You really gotta pre-aim at those spots the enemy will be in. I understand you don't know the map that well but it seems like whenever you peek you are canvasing the entire area without actually aiming at it, you know?

Grenades terrible. You buy and waste so many. Once again might be map related but if you want to improve, do your homework and watch some videos.

Seems like you have trouble knowing what range to spray/burst/tap. You have good initial aim, usually getting the headshot with that first shot, but after that it's not so good. You burst too many bullets at long range, and don't seem to know the spray patterns well enough for the main rifles.

You were killed 3 or 4 times by pistol users strafing, seems like you have trouble here tracking them at mid/close range. Do some DM and work on that.

I have a few more points but that's probably too much to absorb already. Talk to me in mumble sometime if you want to go in more detail.

Thanks for the advice. I have so many bad habits to break.

Haven't bothered playing since. It'll probably toss me into nova next game.

:stare: That's...holy poo poo.

If the changes really are this drastic they could have pretty much added 8 or 9 ranks with how much dispersion there is now.

Somehow I'm managing to stay in LEM, I was supreme before they tweaked the ranks. I've had both wins and losses.

High silver/low gn is a goddamn hellhole right now. One game with a bunch of edgelords who kicked me for not laughing at them screaming racial slurs in the mic (phew), one game with a 800 hour gn2 going 40 frags, and the last one against a team of open wallhackers.

went from supreme to lem and it took quite a few losses to go down to le. it took a really spectacularly bad loss to go to dmg.

whatever the case, old supremes seem to be grouping around dmg-le so it still means we're about the same as we used to. hopefully i dont go down further

After the update got dropped to silver 4 from gnm and since then I've been regularly dominating matches, getting plenty of 30k and a couple 40ks. Only one match out of about 15 that I had a k/d under one. Guess I'll slowly make my way back up the ranks?

Just played a DM with a guy who was blatantly hacking and admitted it in voice. Does Valve apply reports in DM against the overwatch count? I think overwatch cases won't show DM, but do the reports matter?

yeah:

All reports against cheaters are helpful. You should always report a player if you suspect they are cheating, regardless of the game mode or context.

Also, we’ve noticed a lot of people talking about the criteria for a reported player entering Overwatch (e.g., “players need X reports in a day to enter Overwatch”). So far, none of these descriptions have been accurate. While we won’t reveal our process here, we can say that we do not rely on simple thresholds or easily-bypassed time windows.

I just had the greatest flickshot of my life. I was saving an AWP in suicide on dust2. Was scoped looking T spawn because I knew a T was there from upper tunnels. I hear a guy that had walked up from long and as he starts body shotting me with an AK I flick down and take off his head :stare:

Maybe those call of duty 12 year olds are onto something...

We'r even, señor!
A reminder that no one's real ranks have actually changed. "I lost two ranks and now playing worse players" is false, you're playing with the same lovely players you played with before the rank shift.
A contributing factor to lovely games is more likely to be caused by the holiday sale - with the usual new bunch of players and alt accounts.

Global confirmed, that is the Lord's own sensitivity. Also people have been whining since the game came out that the top ranks mean gently caress all so these changes are very good IMHO. I think they could even go a step further and reserve a rank for the top 200 or so in the world, right now it's more like the top 5000.

They should just give you a global ranking when you hit global, like you hit it and it says #5555 in North America, #10069 in the world
