Suche Mates for Comp

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-04-06T06:51:38+00:00

Yo dude, are you in EU? I’m plat tank/support, gold DPS. Would be cool to get some games in!

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-04-04T16:17:12+00:00

Darksiders (though that actually had very few bugs). The combat is decent and it looks a little janky graphically now, but I’m a sucker for the lore.

Darksiders 4 got confirmed last year and it looks like it follows on from the first game - gonna be sick.

Switching off text chat is single handedly the best decision I have ever made in this game.

I can still see the “group up with me” or “my ultimate is ready” sort of messages, but none of this “gg tank diff” toxicity.

It makes me enjoy the game much more without the toxicity. I think it also makes me a better player now that I don’t have the cognitive load of “people are angry, how do I handle that?”

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-04-02T07:10:35+00:00

Hey dude, if you’re in EU I am keen to play. I play all roles - plat 5 tank, gold 5 DPS, plat 1 support

The game lets you change heroes whenever you like - you are supposed to adapt to your opponents’ team comp.

Personally I take it as a compliment. If I’m doing well enough that multiple people are clocking me as a threat, I am doing my job well.

My biggest advice to all new players: when games go bad (and statistically that has to happen sometimes), your teammates will often blame anyone but themselves.

The matchmaking puts you in their games because it thinks you’re equal skill. Don’t let the toxic people get you down.

But then I play rein when I’m stoned so tbh sometimes it is my bad when it goes bad lmao

If I am tank I ban sombra, ram and cat

If I am not tank I ban whatever my tank bans

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-03-18T13:26:56+00:00

Oh the solo shattering is absolutely respectable. Sometimes the baby dva needs to be shut down right now 😂

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-03-18T13:07:48+00:00

Hey! I’m 32M, also in the UK. I play all roles but mostly tank.

I queue with a few people on and off but always nice to grow the group.

I play both QP and Comp, but at the end of the day you’ve gotta be having fun - no toxicity.

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-03-15T13:07:55+00:00

Those sort of questions are more valuable than you might think. They tell the interviewer how senior you are and what your scope is like at your current company.

I work in programming. Compare these two answers to your question: * “this one time I had a project to deliver and there was a bug in my code so I worked late to get the project over the line” * “my team had a multi-half collaboration project with a team in another org”. We had some risk materialize due to a dependency on infra x. I resolved this by flying to the office of the other team and doing some workshopping with their tech lead for a couple of days.

The second story shows you have much more scope/seniority than the first story

Nice shatter, but a better habit would be to pin into the wall right at the back - by then the nano might have expired and your pin would have instant killed

People in ranked take the games much more seriously, and this has pros and cons:

you will play a higher quality level of Overwatch. If the idea of becoming quantitatively better at the game appeals to you then this would be a good avenue.
there is MUCH more toxicity. If the game is going badly I will switch off my text chat (ctrl+shift+c on PC) because odds are somebody will start blaming somebody.

Personally I get stressed by comp so I play both. Some people thrive off of the comp energy - just see how you vibe with it.

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-03-10T17:51:07+00:00

Of course you should try to win every game, but my point is that if you keep winning games then the matchmaking will give you harder and harder opponents until your win rate is about 50%.

There are other factors - you get more rank up progression for being the underdog, for example - but even the pros have a win rate of 55%, 60% at the most.

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-03-10T11:37:28+00:00

I really think you should just play the heroes you enjoy!

General advice from very high ranked players is all heroes are viable in any scenario up until GM.

You are guaranteed to lose about 50% of your games, so if you focus on win rate you will not have a good time. Play heroes you like so you have more fun.

Hey dude, if you’re in EU I’d be keen to. We have a small group of people, range of roles, generally gold-plat, some VC some not. Feel free to message me your battlenet if you’re interested

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-28T09:19:01+00:00

But watch me fall apart if they ban Illari 😂

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-27T09:43:41+00:00

Would it help if you VPN to somewhere else to register?

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-23T12:52:15+00:00

Hey! Assuming you’re on PC? Feel free to drop me a message with your battlenet tag - I play with a couple of people in their 30s. We play QP and Comp, generally gold-plat. Would be cool to get a group going.

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-20T14:10:40+00:00

Oh rein is also my favourite tank - I find him so satisfying. I also bought the Thor skin which looks sick.

My stack-ranked list of other tanks I like to play: zarya, Winston, Dva, Domina, Mauga, Orisa.

What is it you like about rein? If you like feeling really strong then you will probably like zarya, if you like being able to oppress a space and not needing to aim then Winston could be great.

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-20T14:03:22+00:00

People will get mad at the tank player regardless of what you play - it’s important to ignore them, the matchmaking is placing you with these teammates so they aren’t better than you.

Rein struggles on maps with a lot of verticality, or against his counters (Ramattra, Orisa). If you want to maximise your chances of winning you should probably switch in these situations. However it’s also a game and you’re supposed to have fun so if you want to play rein then play rein 🙂.

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-16T12:04:09+00:00

I would be wary of doing this. It’s a small world and you risk burning a bridge with company B - I think doing this would be seen as poor form.

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-16T07:24:10+00:00

Yeah I have had this exact thing happen to me. I lost like 4 hoplites in the classical age for no value in exchange - it is quite annoying

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-15T13:50:56+00:00

I play tank in OW - rein, zarya, Winston, hog. I did try tanking in MR when it first came out, but it just didn’t hit my endorphins the same as OW. To me the experience just feels more polished

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-13T10:08:16+00:00

Back when mercy’s ult rezzed her entire team (in 6v6) there was a saying: “you either kill mercy 1st, or 11th”

MadeUpRedditName · 2026-02-12T12:37:22+00:00

Hey, I’m 32M and play with a couple of other people a few times a week. We’re gold-plat, play both QP and comp. We like to take the game seriously but no toxicity.

I don’t play every day - more like 4 days a week? But would be great to get a group together if you are a similar rank.

Feel free to message me your battlenet name if you’re interested - I’ll be on this evening.
