in fact bastion is a pretty good pick on defense sudden death if you're anticipating a winston stack from your opponents

Zoness posted:quick play matches by a hidden quick play mmr value. level isn't factored in at all. Quick play is great because losses mean nothing. Enemy team just starting to cap the second point with 10 seconds left? gently caress it, bail, eat the loss and learn not to waste any effort next time.

Yep, Winston might in fact be literally the worst pick against Bastion. Maybe Mercy is worse? But at least her gun has range.

Zikan posted:I've taken out Bastion as Mercy before Yeah, Mercy's actually decent against Bastion depending on the map. I've killed a bunch of 'em on Hanamura B if they're sitting in the back corner -- Mercy has no damage dropoff and bastion has a bunch so at extreme range you can just plink 'em down with a full clip if they're too dim to reposition and heal.

I learned from playing LoL that pretty much the only time to play is afternoon on a weekday. Otherwise, well, good luck, because it'll be a complete crapshoot.

Ehud posted:Note: Never play competitive on Friday night Back when Master Overwatch tracked wins and losses per day, I noticed that my win-loss record would plummet on Friday and then I would gradually build it up all week to what it was the previous week, only for Friday to plummet it back towards 50% again.

I am so dangerously unchill right now because the game kept reinstancing and rematching random pubs with a premade that kept trashing us and being assholes in chat. Why the gently caress do they keep premades in the same queue as the rest of us?

So whats the deal with rank, it seems like I lose less than i gain so if I stay even ill very slowly climb ranks. Is that how they have it designed?

I've seen the opposite, I'm at exactly 50% win rate in comp and had my initial rank drop. That might be because a good portion of my wins have had leavers, though.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:it already prefers matching premades against premades, and only broadens the search if it can't find any. 2 things 1, people who play together aren't being penalised for playing with friends, they're trading in the solo queue experience for the group play experience, which is better unless your friends suck, and the tradeoff is that you have longer queues. Another way of saying this is that solo queuers are being punished because premades are impatient. We'll probably have to agree to disagree on this. 2, I genuinely thought this was the bitching thread because I can't tell the difference between that and this thread anymore

It's absolutely a penalty, and if group play is the superior experience, people should be as encouraged to group up as much as possible. There's no point in incentivizing an inferior way to play the game.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that by far more people solo queue than organize groups which means from Blizzard's perspective there absolutely is a point in incentivizing it because they know what side their bread is buttered on.

That's probably why they went with an equitable compromise that emphasizes fast queues over basically everything else, instead of something idiotic like locking premades into their own queue. Time spent not playing the game is a much greater downside than a modestly unfair match, especially if you're concerned with player retention. e: And that's assuming that the premade actually represents an unfair match, which it very often actually won't, and will in fact be six goons doing their best impression of being six strangers. You just notice the games where that's not the case more. Conversely, nobody can miss a five-minute queue. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Jul 9, 2016 |

Vastly more annoying is how after doing both an attack and defense on Volskaya me and my teammate were reinstanced, the game queued us into another Volskaya attack where we got absolutely murdered, then we backed out because we didn't really feel like playing against them for defense, whereupon it put us in a completely different Volskaya attack.

It's a dumb argument because it's a dumb complaint There's a very obvious solution to your problematic gaming experience, and fortunately there's even a goon discord for you to join up with others so you don't have to solo queue all the time.
