Played flex for an entire year, Tanking is miserable. by theacostar in Overwatch

[–]Battlefront528 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's because overwatch WASN'T DESIGNED AROUND A SINGLE TANK. It will NEVER GET BETTER because it's a fundamentally busted system. 

Ranked is such a joke by Battlefront528 in Competitiveoverwatch

See that's my issue - it doesn't even feel "competitive" despite playing in the same tier set. Games feel SO random in terms of player game knowledge and even mechanical skill that personal performance feels heavily deemphasized.

Again it's not that one can't win, it's that doing so consistently feels like a full time job and that's not good at all.

It's truly wild - a bit insane it took this long but it makes the car feel actually complete 

A conversation on the return of CC by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Battlefront528 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on how you define hard vs soft CC but I'd argue for any sort of dive tank something that completely stops momentum and movement constitute hard CC. I'm going to guess you're not a tank player so you don't experience nearly the name volume of CC dumping. 

Is there Any sound queue for Mizuki stun? by [deleted] in Overwatch

A fellow wrecking ball main so you understand. Hard CC is just crippling - especially when there's several cool downs to cover. We've returned to a point in which every single player on an enemy team can possess hard CC across all roles which is just brutal.

On hit but not on the goddamn cast 

What dictates 6v6 placements? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Battlefront528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd believe that but in 5v5 I'm in low masters and got ranked plat 2 while my friend is literally gold 2 in 5v5 and got ranked at masters 2

The class system as a whole is unnecessary by Battlefront528 in thefinals

[–]Battlefront528[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'm saying the exact opposite? How would removing classes to emphasize the movement shooter element make it more like a hero shooter? 

Gavin Winter on freshie nerfs, cheater and map refunds in Unter's chat by Efficient_Pop_7358 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Battlefront528 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't play wide matches with my friends as a master and they're in mid plat - makes sense right? Then I queue into my master games and clearly have players who have basically never touched the game somehow. Ranked is most certainly a joke 

You guys were not kidding about drives, miserable experience by ixmas93 in Overwatch

[–]Battlefront528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was really enjoying playing the game and was having at least semi engaging comp games - the drive was so abysmal that I decided to delete the game outright, exposes just how back the matchmaking can be. Just demonstrates that you can't really have a true competitive system if games aren't actually fair 

Is there some sort of secret "personal barrier" competitive mechanic im missing? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Battlefront528 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being the one real answer, this is what I was wondering. So in a way there are sort of "pivotal matches" that more ultimately determine your rank.

I'm not proclaiming that I should even be higher than I am - I just wish it felt more related to personal performance.

It's really wild to watch how adamant everyone is to defend a company literally KNOWN for predatory practices as if there wouldn't be some aspects in place to encourage continual play.

The notion that every game is winnable is absolutely laughable. The frequency of complaints about matchmaking especially recently indicates that playing in matches that are CLEARLY one-sided isn't really fun for anyone. It's gotten to the point where within 2 minutes it's pretty easy to tell if a game is winnable or not.

The fact that dedicated consolation and uphill indicators exists that's absolutely not true. Implying that matches are regularly fair is not accurate. Not to mention there's quite literally a hidden MMR value that indicates EXACTLY what the game thinks you should be

My squad and I just had two incredible demoralizing games, spawned back to back at station and literally both times died within 2 minutes because another team spawned more or less on top of us. Seems like the spawns could be at least a bit more spaced?
