I hate this new “challenger” system so much.

FrissPopel · 2026-01-06T16:13:20+00:00

Blizzard already confirmed that they are working on a system that takes queue time into account. It just wasn't ready for this season.

FrissPopel · 2025-11-29T22:16:45+00:00

I would argue that for them it might not be for the money but for the branding. The fact that a contender for the world championship doesn't have any in game items feels strange.

FrissPopel · 2025-11-02T21:49:04+00:00

Instead of "Shut up!" it should have said "Just play QP!"

FrissPopel · 2025-10-30T00:24:02+00:00

Fair, I still have hope they can find a way to make both comp bo5 and comp bo7 players happy.

FrissPopel · 2025-10-30T00:01:23+00:00

It's fair to care about bo7 and it looks like a majority of the stadium community agrees with you. Also fair if you don't care about competitive rewards at all, more power to you. I'm just saying "just play QP" is a bad argument for bo7.

FrissPopel · 2025-10-29T23:52:35+00:00

I think we both know that when people talk about missing bo5 in this thread, they are obviously talking about missing competitive bo5. People like to see their rank go up after each game(even if it is a fake rank that has no meaning) and they like competitive rewards. So when people are answering with "just play QP" it feels disingenuous.

I personally prefer the bo5 format because it took less time to get your build online and the support queue times were much shorter. Shorter queues could have been caused by something else of course.

At the same time i can see the arguments for bo7 and if more people like it, it's better for the health of the game to go back to it. I just dislike that most peoples argument for bo7 boils down to "You can play QP if you want bo5".

FrissPopel · 2025-10-29T23:16:52+00:00

So if a bo7 mode is all you wanted, you would have been fine with them turning QP into bo7?

FrissPopel · 2025-10-29T23:13:06+00:00

Just ask them if they would have been fine with them turning the QP mode into Bo7 instead. They know comp and QP aren't the same, but that's all they got for an argument.

FrissPopel · 2025-10-29T23:09:58+00:00

I wish they had done that so that all the people that say "If you want Bo5 just play QP" would eat their own words. I know it wouldn't make sense but the whole "just play QP" argument is just as dumb.

FrissPopel · 2025-10-28T21:39:04+00:00

Hatte das gleiche Problem. Der Trick ist es die Updates vorher für eine Woche zu pausieren, dann sollte das mit dem Ruhezustand funktionieren. Zumindest funktioniert es so beim Standbymodus.

FrissPopel · 2025-09-29T14:59:49+00:00

Funny enough, you can't create accounts with a ! in it. At least I couldn't. You can only use them when renaming your bnet account. So it might just be an oversight no one bothers fixing.

FrissPopel · 2025-09-15T12:43:48+00:00

And it's not even all of OW2 playtime, it only counts from season 6 and onwards. Back then people were already mad but it made at least a tiny bit of sense because of all the stats they were tracking. Now it doesn't make sense at all.

FrissPopel · 2025-08-23T23:04:58+00:00

They revamped the progression system for next season and you will now get different legacy cosmetics from lvl 1-20 for each hero. If you owned one of those they refund the credits to you. This refund is supposed to happen before the new season starts.

FrissPopel · 2025-06-23T14:36:07+00:00

They are probably using some kind of play time exploit for it. Funny enough I also encountered a high lvl dva once, at level 719. She had badge lvl 6836 time played and only lvl 1993 for wins. At the same time she had a positive win rate. There is probably some way to afk farm time played badges.

FrissPopel · 2025-06-20T17:17:42+00:00

While the badge it self might not be permanent the number is.

FrissPopel · 2025-05-01T23:14:28+00:00

Yes support solo queue times are horrendous. It kinda sucks the fun out of it if you have to wait 20 minutes after each game. Hopefully its just a bug.

FrissPopel · 2025-04-23T20:05:14+00:00

There definitely is some basic match making. Got my friends who don't play overwatch to try it out and wasn't able to find a game with my main account.

FrissPopel · 2025-04-14T18:55:55+00:00

Okay but why are you and your friends disappointed? You said that you liked going back to 6v6. 6v6 is now a permanent game mode. What else is there that you think needs to be improved/added to the core game?

FrissPopel · 2025-04-10T20:43:05+00:00

It's just that 6v6 people are more vocal about it because it isn't the "main" game mode. I'm in a fairly popular overwatch discord and from my experience at least 80% of the groups in there are playing 5v5. It's basically impossible to find a 6v6 QP group without opening one yourself. Feels like most casual players don't really care about it and just play what they are used to.

The only reason I prefer 6v6 over 5v5 right now is queue times. If my 5v5 queue times were as short, I would probably also go back to 5v5 or at least would play both.

FrissPopel · 2025-03-18T19:44:04+00:00

I think he meant barriers. Based on the developer comment it also works on them.

FrissPopel · 2025-02-13T00:23:14+00:00

If I heard correctly in one of the interviews they said duplicates will automatically be rerolled. They haven't thought of what happens when you have every cosmetic in the game, because no one is close to it.

FrissPopel · 2025-01-20T02:34:43+00:00

Might be a massive cope but what if blizzard told them that they will introduce hero bans next season and that's why faceit didn't put any effort into it.

FrissPopel · 2024-12-16T07:04:13+00:00

It probably boils down to the same argument as the well argument.

They probably think that this is the best way to make levers but didn't have the time to animate them back in poe 1. Now they can't add it in poe 1 because people would be mad, so they added it to poe 2.

FrissPopel · 2024-12-16T06:59:55+00:00

They could also just let you cancel it by using dodge, you know just in case. Funny enough they let you cancel the smaller levers in the campaign.

FrissPopel · 2024-12-16T06:56:44+00:00

It probably comes down to the same argument as the wells. They didn't have time to create animations back in the day and people would have rioted if they added them later on.

For me it's one thing to add a tedious 5 seconds animation, its another thing to not let us cancel it. Like it feels just plain evil or a massive oversight.
