    i hope so, i have more trouble with her than i would ten shields


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭Homelander


    Something very wrong with this game. I'm plat dps/support, but now in bronze tank. Despite getting gold dmg in 10 games in a row. Genuinely lost about 15 games in a row in tank queue. Not really sure how that works.

    Have you considered switching?

    I'm support main but I can play any role. I've just switched game instead. Shooting shields isn't any fun. I'll come back eventually and hopefully the devs will have come to their senses.

    It's not just raw DMG that makes you a good tank.

    Honestly if you could be bothered learning sigma you will likely climb. Hes op af at the moment

    I was playing sigma. I'd say I got gold damage in 80% of matches. Obviously I know there's more to tank than damage, I have 1200 hours in the game. I'm starting to think there's something wrong with match making on my account. I'm constantly getting matches that are 300 sr above my level. I first noticed it playing support, a gap of 320sr between my team and the enemy. I didn't even think that was possible.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,283 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    The gap is around 1000 SR depending on conditions

    That's the gap between individual players not overall teams. I played a game last night where our team was hundreds lower and they had a platinum dps. That should not be happening. The team sr should be broadly similar taking into account the higher ranks. For some reason it never happens my team, only the opposing team.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,825 ✭✭✭IvoryTower


    Does it still show the the sr of teams before games, i thought they scraped that along with showing who's teamed up?

    I think solo queuing is a lot harder now. It's like you're unknowingly up against stacks who are working together, in comms etc. The people climbing are those in 3+ stacks i reckon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭Homelander


    Yep, it does. Not sure about the stacks, don't think it does. I'm just really frustrated because the wild difference in sr only happens to my team, the enemy team is never hundreds lower for some reason. I literally went from 1800 to 1480 in a row, but even the last game the enemy team was 1797 while ours was pretty much 1530 or something. The last support game I played was the same, enemy team was 300 higher, even though we won I only got the basic sr for the win. It never happens in reverse. I'm 2600/2550 in support and dps. Now literally 1400 in tank.

    SR differences between roles aren't something to worry about. Each role plays differently and if you haven't played tank much it's only natural your dps/support ranks are much higher.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,825 ✭✭✭IvoryTower


    Not sure so, soz, i never really look at the team sr so couldnt tell you if it's similar.

    For those on bad loss streaks, emongg was on something like 7W-33L last week, it happens. I remember XQC went on a 15 game loss and ended up a pro player in masters. It's like picking a red/black in roulette. I just try to enjoy the games win or lose and not focus on the sr.

    Played lots of sym last night, if you cant beat her play her I guess. Got 48 kills in my last game, she's a monster. Maybe doomfist next...just seems so hard to play


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭Homelander


    I don't really mind that. It's more why am I constantly getting matches where my team is 300SR lower, but it never happens in reverse? (ie my team is never, ever more than 50 higher at best than the enemy team but its constantly 300 lower). One of the last games I played last night they had a platinum McCree, were almost 300sr higher as a team, while ours was all bronze. That should not be happening.


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,073 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Normal enough to see the odd plat player in gold but in bronze that's very strange. I'd say what's happening is the plat guy was playing with a friend in silver or bronze.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,825 ✭✭✭IvoryTower


    take a photo of your next game when it shows the team sr and we'll do some investigating


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,283 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    I have a group who play together, would be gold4lyfe but when we play with our bronze level player it gets a bit screwy sometimes. I think their matchmaking system is struggling a bit with player SR moving allover the place recently since the change.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭Homelander


    There is definitely something up here. I just got a draw game and lost 50 SR with gold damage as Orissa. I didn't even think that was possible, I thought draw was static.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭Homelander


    This is how I am playing in pretty much every game. This is the game I lost 50SR for as a draw.

    Sounds broken alright


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,073 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Losing 50sr on a draw seems very off alright.

    50sr is usually what you lose for quitting. Maybe the game thought he backed out?

    He would have had a ten minute ban then too I would have thought.

    Of course they can keep adding characters!

    They'll nerf sigma/orisa and then itll be onto the next "worst meta".

    Any day now lols. This is painful


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,283 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    Next update will be October 15th when the Switch version is released.


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,073 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Be cool to see some nintendo themed skins or something. I'm thinking Link Brigitte skin, Samus Aran Pharah skin, Mario Torb skin, Bowser Road hog....

    The possibities are endless but highly unlikely there'll be anything like that unfortunately.

    Overwatch 2 a near certainty at this stage.

    Kinda not feeling due to the whole Blizzard-being-scum bit.

    Also reading 4chan rumours.
    Take them with a grain of salt, but anons usually don't care this much.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭Benzino


    Heard about this over the weekend and was a bit surprised to be honest, but looking forward to it now. Personally I don't find Overwatch stale yet, and the new Push mode will be a nice addition, but interested to see how they are going to mix it up. I wonder does this mean hero 32 will be the last one for the current game.

    OW2 looks promising, the updated art work looks promising if true, apart from Sojourn maybe who looks a bit generic.

    In free fall this season. Placed mid gold-ish at the start and crashed since then 1800 all round now. Support dropped about 500 SR :-/

    Overwatch 2 annonuced at Blizzcon, all current Overwatch 1 skins will carry over to Overwatch 2 and all Overwatch 1 players can play on the new maps against Overwatch 2 players. What OW2 will have vs. OW1 will be an extensive group and solo set of story PvE missions.
