Main Paineframe posted:Just give it a few days for all the habitual leavers to get banned from competitive I'm definitely hoping that matches will even out a bit more because of this. Right now solo queue at least feels like a crapshoot, with leavers and lovely "genji only pls" players. I'm hoping time will weed those out a bit more.

Yup, I think they don't read and realize the consequences of their actions. Once they get a few temp-bans from competitive, I'm sure they will learn. Unfortunately, that could also lead to them just sitting in base/roaming around whining the entire time doing their best to not get booted, but also not participate in any meaningful way.

Already saw one guy throw a fit like that, because we weren't grouping around with him, when he got repeatedly killed by the same turret over and over. Rest of the team was neatly grouped, and he just kept rushing in solo.

Today was the first time that I was reported by a couple of jerks who didn't like that I didn't play the way they wanted me to. I was the lowest level in competitive, and they pretty much poo poo on me for no reason through the entire game. Then they flipped the gently caress out when I suggested that they group up with all their (nonexistent) friends instead of solo queuing. Good times.

People openly say they'll do this on the forums and even did before Comp was a thing. All you can do is report them.

Mukaikubo posted:they had a deadline of "release the end of June" that they gave themselves, and by god they made it. Another quirk to this whole thing, Taimou just revealed on Seagull's stream that he's only playing max with a two- or three-person group in Comp Mode because if he plays as a 6-stack he gets basically no ranks up. Sounds like if your 6-stack MMR is high, you get basically nothing for a win unless it's against a similarly high 6-stack. Maybe just an issue for people as far above the norm as the pros but it's still a weird dynamic. He turned down the chance to 6-stack with Seagull because of this.

Right, he's solo queueing so that his team's average MMR is close to the opposition's team MMR. If he groups up with too many of his regular teammates, the game can't find them a fair opponent.

Still have a ton of thread to catch up on because its an interesting read, but I can +1 on the curbstomp placement matches. Partially due to teams and partially due to what appears is my lack of playing Overwatch for a few days due to being busy and other neat games purchased in the Steam Sale. Come back in and queue pub competitive because I am stupid. Get on a team that literally got rolled on a defend in a matter of what seemed like seconds. I died twice and the 2nd death we lost before I got out of my 2nd spawn. Then got disconnected and couldn't reconnect before the ability to rejoin was gone. Grr. 2nd was with goons and while we lasted a bit better, I was playing like crap and overall didn't feel like we had a mesh going yet, and got disconnected right after round 1 but was able to get reconnected and finish the matches. No idea why that was happening as I haven't gotten disconnected ever before the latest patch, though the heat could be having an issue with my routers/isp around here currently so i'll be keeping a closer eye on them the next time I attempt to finish my placement games. What was weird was for the first game especially, we weren't really outranked by level it seemed, but man the other teams were vastly more organized which has to be that it was a full group vs pubs is my only guess. Outside of when the match is showing the VS screen, is there another visual queue that shows that players are in a group or not?

If you play with a 6 stack the leavers are always on the other team.

pre-patch: fun as gently caress, an occasional whiny bitch but who gives a gently caress it was just casual play with stats recorded after patch: none of my goon friends come on anymore (they all started playing before me anyway and about half have prestiged), I putter my way through the placement matches, ending up 3-7 despite having some really decent rounds (had 39 eliminations with Winston in the last match, three rounds), get placed at 38, immediately lose three rounds, drop to 37, immediately lose another round. I played WoT and I remember how pubbies were adamant about how their win/loss didn't matter because it was a team game, but goddamn....even when I wait for my team to catch up and we rush a point together, why am I always the last one to survive?

I always wind up playing a Tank in competitive so every payload map I've done so far has consisted of me and some random person sitting on the payload while I spam hello and CATCH PHRASE at them, all the while my team obliterates everything up ahead

I think there was one payload map during the entire 10 game ranking period. Won that one, hard. e: actually I take that back there was a Hollywood map on which we couldn't even capture the first point. nippythefish fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jun 30, 2016 |

Last night I played with a Reaper who literally spammed Group up with me! as he teleported onto the top of roofs. This was in the same game where a Hanzo went on a tirade about how the opposing Mei was hacking and was gonna get reported and banned because 'you're not supposed to be able to one shot kill me with your rmb!' Sometimes it is impossible to tell trolling apart from just being a moron.  Nehru the Damaja posted:So there's a documented problem on rank adjustment on koth.

Both directions, but that means stuff like if you happen to get a couple more KOTH maps than average during placement you'll come out way under where you're supposed to be compared to someone that got all payload.

Our little team has been enjoying Competitive a lot, but god that King of the Hill bug is so frustrating. A half-hour game against good compeition giving you 5% of a level sucks so bad. I wish they would just disable them until they fix it.

This was the thing that was apparently happening to me last night and I was too pissed at what I was seeing to notice the pattern, so I logged out to find more constructive things to do and considered putting the game away for a while. I wake up this morning to find "the thing" Kaplan: http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20745755424?page=1#post-20 When this happened to me last night I presumed they just wanted to make the grind up the hill that much grindier for wins and reconsidered playing the season. I don't have time for a 10/1 win/loss wash point.

I like toggle too, especially since I play a lot of double lucio in premades and having to hold down shift for half of the game (since auras dont stack so you want one lucio in each) would suck

My experience has been that it doesn't work or doesn't work how one would naturally expect it to work. I've had many times where hitting shift did nothing or the speed boost stayed up long after releasing it. It may function like a lot of games do sprinting where it stays up until you stop moving. It never seemed consistent about that though. It makes speed boosted wallrunning much more awkward. I stopped using it fairly quickly.

Yeah the option is broken, a very noticeable portion of the time it will stay on speed boost long after you've let go of shift.

So if someone leaves during the assemble team part of a comp match do they still get a "leave"? I hope so, because having to wait 30 seconds for the match to end because of their poo poo is obnoxious.
