If they reset ELO it makes sense they don’t have enough data to differentiate that many levels on the high end where it gets much more granular in skill gaps and much smaller groups. KrunkMcGrunk posted:She throws two cards at a time It all seems like a hold over from an older design. Being able to toggle to throwing one (2?) at a time and the visual makes it seem like she was previously more like a charge healer where you would want to only throw one at a time for more healing. Now you just hold mouse left click and it’s pretty much a beam with regimented gaps, which is odd. Also the fact that it has a unique aiming mechanic fits the idea of singular but more impactful heals on a charge more than her current concept.

I've been losing constantly when playing Moira even while doing decent, I think she's a decent healer but you can't really do too much with her past that unless the other team is very bad and squishy

teagone posted:They confirmed your MMR has been modified and you WILL start in lower ranks for comp several weeks before OW2's launch Well, they say "slightly lower", not going from the right half of the bell curve to literally the lowest division in the game which seems pretty common, so I can't help but think they probably hosed something up along the way.

It doesn't really matter. I haven't seen anything weird like Top 500 being dumped into Bronze. If you're that much underranked you'll climb out faster than OW1. And if not, well... Ranked system seems overall improved except for overtime rules on some maps. Payload should default to time remaining if both teams finish instead of going to a third round.

GMs being placed into diamond is relative to plats dumped into silver. I haven't seen anything "broken" or whatever among high-level players so there likely isn't anything wonky going on with lower ranked placements either. I've never played tank before in comp ever and only played the first 12 seasons of comp in OW1 as support. I think placements did a pretty good assessment dumping my trash rear end tank queue into Silver 5, but in less than a week and after learning to play tank more, I've already been adjusted to Gold 4. If you're meant to climb you will, if you're placed low and are hardstuck, get better. It's pretty simple.

The reasoning for this from OW1 was to not overly incentivize people to pick speedy characters to maximize speed over all else. I remember Jeff saying something like wanting slow push characters and teams to have a fair shot at winning. The goal of the game mode is to capture enough points, and time just gives you an advantage instead of being the win condition.

If you're meant to climb you will, if you're placed low and are hardstuck, get better. It's pretty simple. Mostly fair points, but I think the error in the system here is looking at MMR values vs percentiles. Plats going down to silver vs GMs going down to diamond makes sense in purely MMR values, but not so much in terms of relative skill level. You'd essentially have someone at the 75th or so percentile going down to the 35th percentile, vs someone at the 99th percentile going down to the 90th. Usually the area where this is problematic is when they try to balance team MMR values rather than individual player MMR values but that isn't really here nor there. It will all balance out, but it will lead to some rather miserable games in the mean time.

I'm really enjoying this but I also never really played OW1 much at all, few games here and there but it never clicked too much, seems to be a bit of negativity from older players looking at the User reviews on metacritic XD Game is free and seems fun? You can pay for cosmetic poo poo if that floats your boat? There's no real pay to win right?

Not really. They probably should put new heroes a bit lower in the free BP (like maybe level 30 or something) but, that isn't too big of a factor. I think people are more upset that the game doesn't feel like it rewards you at all for just playing anymore unless you have the premium BP, and even then, less so than with the lootboxes in OW1.

The real argument here is to ignore MMR values vs percentiles and accept that maybe the reason they intentionally lowered rank placements was to keep you in-game longer/playing more. This increases the chances of you buying content from the shop and can also be used to pad concurrent playerbase stats to please investors or some poo poo, lol.

If people are really worried about the rank soft reset just wait a couple weeks for the playerbase to stratify again into their more appropriate ranks and then if you feel you're ranked lower than you should then you can climb quickly.

I owned OW1, got the founders pack, been playing a few games over the last couple of days with no issues. Then just now I had to log into the game with my email and password+authentication and now I'm locked out of 20 heroes. What the poo poo is this?

A minor complaint, but I've noticed that the animation that plays when you get hit and staggered by Sigma's rock attack is cut off at the end. I'm not sure if this is intentional or a bug, but it doesn't play all the way through like before: you just get halfway staggered then suddenly pop back up. It's subtle, but I can see the difference.

This is probably not a popular opinion, but I kind of feel like that if tanks need to be raid bosses for role queue, they should probably be limited to one in other modes too. Open queue and a bunch of the non-No Limits arcade modes. I was in a Total Mayhem the other day that was locked in perpetual overtime for ten or more minutes. Both sides had two tanks and two healers locked on the point. I don't know if it actually ended, I got bored and left.

People can't just shut the gently caress up and play. Had a couple of funny interactions trying to be ultra positive and winning people over though. Feels good when chat starts off toxic but we turn it around. If it's really egregious please start reporting. Lets put this voice transcription to the test.
