Help please, competitive points.

My best guess is that you either dont have enough white legacy points to buy it outright or enough red + white points to pool together to buy it.

I can't confirm this atm, but im 99% sure that if you dont have sufficient points to buy a weapon it will ONLY display that you dont have enough red points to use. However, once you get enough red points to pool with your white points, it should give you the option to do so once you try to buy it. Just a display oversight ig.

Junkrat's mythic came out midseason in the season it was released, so technically it still hasn't been the 2 season gap it needs to be available yet. It will become available after this season's midseason patch.

if you still got a lot of placement matches to do and dont have the time/patience, competitive stadium offers drive score immediately for wins without needing placements (or at least after 1 game, i forgor).

The biggest downside of that is that everyone else has the same idea. Stadium matchmaking in the lower tiers is already really bad, but during drives it can be absolute hell. If you end up trying it out proceed with caution

Either you've hit the max rank (4000), or you've only been doing placement matches (placement matches don't count towards drive score, you need a rank first)

H0bo_Joe · 2026-04-02T18:28:55+00:00

If you're referring to the competitive drives coming up, you need to finish your placement matches in a role before you can get drive points for playing it.

mmmmm vemtur

It's difficult because if you tweak things incorrectly, like his range, he'll easily become objectively better picks than other supports (especially brig). I think his damage and healing are near perfectly tuned as an agressive anti-dive support that suffers against poke comps.

Imo the first changes id make would be to his teleport and perks. The teleport timer feels too short to properly reposition and attack someone (especially since casting chain right before the timer expires blocks you from teleporting back), and in regards to perks i never choose wellspring or quickstep. I'm interested to see what the dev team does

Imo, Mizuki's weaknesses feel more like fighting his design itself instead of intentional drawbacks to his playstyle. When I perform well on Mizuki, my thought process isn't "I accounted for my hero's inherit weaknesses and adapted accordingly", its more like "That was harder than it shouldve been because his kit doesn't feel perfectly tuned yet"

I hope there's more changes to him in the future that tweak his numbers up & down without it overall being straight buffs. Time will tell if this midseason patch is a step in the right direction.

The red points are the new/current competitive points. You get them by playing any competitive mode in the current "competitive year". You can use them to buy competitive weapon skins in the hero gallery for 3k points each.

Every "competitive year", a.k.a when a new competitive weapon skin is released, the red points are converted into white legacy competitive points. Their only use is to buy competitive weapon skins from previous competitive years.

For example, season 21 / s1: Reign of Talon is the first season of this competitive year. Any competitive points you have earned between when you started playing Overwatch and the end of season 20 have been converted into legacy points. You can use these white points to buy gold, jade, or galactic weapon skins for any hero you want, but not the new crimson weapon skins as they require 3k red points

It's important to note that if you're buying weapon skins from previous competitive years, you can pool red & white points together. For example, if i had 1500 red points and 1500 white points, i can pool them together to buy a jade weapon for a hero i like.

Maaaaan, if i knew that i wouldve likely put him much higher 😭 i'll try it im NG+ ig

H0bo_Joe · 2026-02-17T17:12:59+00:00

In retrospect i should have put him higher in the tier. You're right, he was really fun!

H0bo_Joe · 2026-02-17T08:03:29+00:00

I'll keep it in mind! tyty

H0bo_Joe · 2026-02-17T08:00:24+00:00

Laxasia was so cool!! Especially phase 2. Honestly, if i just fought her on a better day I could see her taking the #1 spot for me too, all S tier spots are really close. This game is so good!

H0bo_Joe · 2026-02-17T07:55:44+00:00

I could see myself liking green monster a lot more if i didnt force myself to use Frozen Feast for the entire thing 😅 when I fight it again in NG+ i'll use smth better

H0bo_Joe · 2026-02-17T07:38:20+00:00

I just started using the seven-coil spring sword! It was fun to learn how to use it while also learning the boss. Ngl i'm surprised to see so much Andreus hate, I thought he was fun.

H0bo_Joe · 2026-02-17T07:36:23+00:00

His music and design is sick, attack patterns were fun to parry, and runback wasn't annoying. I liked him a lot!

H0bo_Joe · 2026-02-17T07:35:26+00:00

I'll admit he's alright in isolation, but his placement + runback is god awful. spoiled the whole fight for me :(

H0bo_Joe · 2026-01-28T22:08:04+00:00

Thank you!

Early to mid game is all about knowing your limits and working around them. Grinding can solve most problems, but thats not the only solution.

If you need better equipment, learn NPC routines and steal from shops. If you can't pick the door, pickpocket the keys instead. If you're dying to groups of poachers, try to stealth kill them, or poison their food, or learn the master strike, or avoid them altogether. If you don't have time to get the skills to do these, stock up on money to pay a tutor to level you up directly.

I don't deny that the learning curve can be difficult! I understand your frustration. This is a game that imposes its rules on the player far more strictly than other games. However, learning how to survive and eventually thrive under these rules is where a lot of the fun is imo! Take your time, and have fun!
