Lately I've been getting placed with groups as the odd man out and they won't join team chat. I've carried two of the groups.

I'm reacting to people who seem to have more faith in the accuracy of the placement process than they should, and offering to condolences the player above who got legitimately screwed. Why don't you just play with a group of friends? Solo queue is hell

I hope this trend of being forced to be the odd man out stops after my placements. I have no idea why these groups refuse to join team chat.

I think it defaults to group voice chat so maybe they just don't notice. I don't think any of the goon groups I've been in used anything but group voice or discord

Welp played nothing but mccree and managed to squeak in with just over 2500. Still can't headshot for poo poo, but if you can click on mans he still packs a hellova punch. Mccree is good. I even got the achievement for the "cute" spray

I played one match earlier and their weird hybrid system takes some getting used to. I kept expecting the game to end, but it kept going. We did win but I felt bad about it because I went torb on hollywood one to stall them at the point so they'd time out.

Finished my placements and got placed in the upper slots of Platinum, about 200 points away from Diamond. Mercy is ridiculously good after the buff, and now that I've actually put a good chunk of time into her I think she's my go to Support. I had a lot of fun with Zenyatta but I feel like I can better perform the role of Triage healer and get more use out of her ult than I could with Zen. That being said.... I've also put a good chunk of time into Reinhardt with the new skin, and good lord he is far and away the most fun character (imo) to play - every time PINNED shows up on screen I have to resist the urge to scream "hell yeah!" at my computer and when you get a big earthshatter off you can just feel the play of the game being placed into your hands.

So I hope everybody here loves playing against Hanzos and Meis because literally every game I've played today so far has had one on the enemy team.

Every loss had a Hanzo and Bastion on the team. At least Mercy is a healing powerhouse now and pretty fun to play. Also Blizz needs to add a new hot take/tip/strat - "Shoot enemies out of the sky! This kills the Pharah."

Your win/loss for your placement matches doesn't matter that much. The system uses some invisible MMR (maybe QuickPlay, maybe Season 1, maybe a hybrid) to give you a starting point for your placement matches. From there, your wins/losses affect that invisible MMR until after your 10th match, it feels confident enough to show you what it thinks you are. I think their algorithm is also more averse to OVER-ranking people than UNDER-ranking them, but I know some people who never raised higher than their placement matches, so that might just be my experience. Obviously, winning will still get you a higher end-rank, but you should probably just play as best you can with the assumption you'll end up close to your Season 1 placement result. So whether you go 1-9, 9-1, or somewhere in between, different players will get drastically different results even with the same placement match results. If the system started with assuming every un-placed player was equal in skill, your first several placement matches would be a mix of SR 80's and SR 20's (and everything in between), and that would be terrible for trying to determine the team's actual skill. (This completely randomized team scenario is what an actual 'ELO HELL' would be, not some imaginary scenario where you are level 45, but you think you should be level 47, and you can't quite seem to get there.)

They don't have a record of your quickplay losses so everyone is showing up with 100% win rates for stats collected in that mode. Tracker sites have never been good at telling you how good you actually are but right now they're infinitely worse.

Ended last season at 53, ranked at ~2400 after s2 placements. Either I haven't been playing enough between seasons or I need to suppport less and carry more. Not that I played much comp during s1 with sudden death being so annoying.

Mercy is good, and she makes a great partner to Pharah right now. Mercy is VERY positional dependent, though. Lucio is pretty fast and good at dodging away, but if you fly wrong as Mercy you will die instantly.

The competitive stats are working fine and gives relevant info on how well/bad you're performing imo.
