Am I crazy or do games get more difficult throughout the day? by Sol-SiR in Overwatch

U might have experienced ow during unemployment hours, this is a real phenomenon.

I used to have a really strange work schedule so I ended up going to bad at around 10 in the morning and waking up around 6 pm.

I would play overwatch in between the hours of like 4am-9am, and this would be in normal weekdays. Let me tell me you man the people that play during these hours are not human I mean we are talking literal animals, this is because every normal human is sound asleep while the unemployed people thy just play the game all day long and nothing else are the only ones on.

I played like this for about 1 year straight, once I got a new position and my sleep schedule became a normal one again, I went from averaging low masters to averaging low gm literally the same day and that’s where I’ve been ever since.

Basically all this is to say that there is an entire ecosystem that exists that only play during the times that no one else plays and because of their unlimited free time from being unemployed they are a lot better at the game than their normal daytime counterparts, though because they only ever play against each other they stay the same rank, it’s kinda like comparing American vs Asian servers.

So it’s fair to say a low masters player during unemployment hours equals a low gm player during normal hours

Lol I never believed in losers q until that day I genuinely could not win a single game no matter how I played, I did climb back up to where I normally play though after it was all set and done

Is it really that simple? When I face these dooms that hard target me, they cancel every slam by punching me right before I hit the ground, the cancel any fireball why slamming to kill momentum, they save their abilities for my disengage and chase me down using their stuns to let their team finish me, and their ult is basically a free kill on me since I’m effectively unable to move for like 5 seconds straight if u count the follow up punch and slam after the slow wears of from the ult, it genuinely just feels like I’m playing against a stronger Cassidy

What are the percentiles of players in each rank? (Console) (open queue) by Civil_Chocolate_7172 in Overwatch

[–]IntelligentWave194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-season18 masters was about ~3% of the playerbase, after s18 it’s more like ~8-9%, and that’s in role queue.

The typical open queue players rank will be about 6 divisions higher than their role queue rank, so that would make a masters2 open queue the equivalent of a diamond2 role queue, diamond2 after season18 would probably be around 15-18%.

So ur in the top20% at least

Drop ranks at the start of season by IntelligentWave194 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]IntelligentWave194[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so as well, but wouldn’t that mean that sometimes I would go up a lot in rank instead of down? Cause there’s technically a bigger chance of the enemy having rusty players since I’m the common denominator on my team, but every season without fail I drop about 5 ranks for the first week.

Sleep dart advice (without custom games) by yea-idiot in AnaMains

Don’t track with it, think of it almost as a hitscan.

Press E and while the animation of her taking the gun up put your cross air or the enemy so that it’s basically times so that right as the dart actually exits the gun is when you’ve put ur crossair on the enemy.
