Overwatch 1 had also relatively low max rating for 'new people'. I think It was something like high Diamond.

When comp first dropped for OW1 my final rating was 60. I don't know what that was relative to the badage rankings that came later, but I'd guess plat/diamond right? Which is where I ended up getting hardstuck because I refused to improve lmao.

:lmao: that tank now has the highest queue time

I guess turning half the roster into Fat Scouts and cutting a slot off the team squeezed a whole lot of people into the role.

This may be the only game where DPS is underrepresented

No wonder my team is full of potatoes that don't hear Flanking Orisa waving her stick literally behind them.

I am convinced that 90% of OW players cannot process sounds spatially

like they hear a Sombra decloaking and firing behind them and they go "oh that's weird" and never think to turn around

I kept hacking an Ana one comp game last night while cloaked and they refused to do anything. I must've hacked her like 20 times alone, poo poo was funny.

I sometimes get into the queue but it always drops me before that goes anywhere with a "lost connection" message. Bad launch, yet still not the worst Blizzard launch. :v:

I was probably just going to check it out in passing anyway, only reason I even had interest was the PvE mode which apparently is still a year away or something.

I had no problem logging into OW2 on my Switch last night but today it refuses to go back past the logo screen even though it throws me in a queue. PC I can get in no problem though, so long as I swapped my region to Asia.

I expected absolutely nothing out of this release and I'm still disappointed. Another successful launch, Blizzard.

Went into flex play comp with some friends last night. 3 tanks a dps and a healer was incredibly OP. Nobody died, all the tanks just soak up so much damage that it’s a breeze keeping them all up.

Yeah, not ideal. I'm constantly stuck in queues and then punted to a BC-153 error no matter what.

yeah flex mode is busted because tanks rule the loving world


it's a shame the launch has been so busted because they actually made OW fun again.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
All of my characters had all their skins and everything, but a vast majority of my skin/emote/whatever preferences were different. Some defaulted to the OW1 skin, some my emotes were different than what I had set, some voice lines were missing from my wheel, etc. That part was strange.

I got a 20 kill streak with Orisa on my first go in like two years with her and can’t get more than one or two eliminations before dying with dps now lol. Support is now literally just support and very little chance of actually getting a kill unless your throw some damage gloop in the vague direction of an enemy on 2hp

make sure your resolution scaling is off and your video resolution is set to the correct hz, both really mess with the feel of aiming.

I’m a console pleb :nsa:. I really wish there was an FOV slider though, I saw a killcam of a genii slicing me directly in the head literally on top of my character model from a 60 degree angle that I could not see whatsoever.

I don't know if her team ever won even one match while she was on it, unfortunately. But I also don't think that was her fault, at all.

There is an FOV slider on PC. Is that not the case for consoles?
