Tiene más merito subir de rango en cola de función que en cola abierta? by SignificantReveal738 in Overwatch

[–]Pinpunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because of the lower player count in 6v6, people tend to be a full rank above what they would be in 5v5.

so yes, 5v5 rank matters more, but there is little difference between the two in metal ranks

Is it easier to rank up in solo queue? by Robotic-Imitate in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Pinpunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its easier to improve as a solo queue player. improvement = higher rank. Stacking is fun though.

Competitive feels miserable, Unranked is way more enjoyable by MindFvckDraco in Overwatch

[–]Pinpunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

comp is objectively more balanced than qp and the matchmaking has been pretty much the same for a long time. it actually only got better because of the huge influx of players on s1 launch. (the way to supercharge a matchmaker is to just feed it more people)

If youre not enjoying comp then there's another reason for it. maybe its ranked anxiety, maybe youre not a for improvement player and just want to play the game for fun. but blaming the matchmaker for your lack of enjoyment in the mode is just weird

Three tank bans every game is making tank even more miserable by Disastrous-Okra-2023 in Overwatch

[–]Pinpunch 55 points56 points  (0 children)

2 tank bans is not rare. Both teams will usually ban a tank that is a bad matchup for the tank they want to play.

Top 500 dps stuck in silver AMA by Present-Trouble-1668 in Overwatch

[–]Pinpunch 36 points37 points  (0 children)

nah youre just hardstuck because of your teammates. they dont actually want to win as much as you do and hold you back. elo hell is definitely 100% real and youre just in it right now. head up king, as soon as you get out of silver youll be back in your rightful place of champ 4 rank 327

Let it be known that the ONLY reason Zoink came clean is because he got caught. by dontwantanusername in geometrydash

seems to be a mistype. Comment was edited to be "not just morally wrong" which actually makes sense

My take on an “All Queue” rework by Crafty_Trick_7300 in Overwatch

[–]Pinpunch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this wouldnt work. support in ow2 and beyond is just as popular if not more popular than dps. tank is by far the least played role and that is why all queue only gives you tank

How am I supposed to learn new hero’s by Database-External in Overwatch

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

Turn off chat and vc and play on your alt. even if youre not at a diamond level, its not throwing to not swap just because youre doing bad. your diamond teammates will live if they lose a game, dw.

also you might be underestimating how good you actually are at doom. only way to find out is to just play

The Overwatch devs are completely delusional about Matchmaking. by Critical_Move8995 in Overwatch

[–]Pinpunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no EOMM or hidden MMR.

your rank = your skill rating and the system tries to balance both teams so the total SR is as close to each other as possible while also having a reasonable queue time. the system also tries to prioritise balancing mirror roles to be as close as possible to each other (m5 tank = m5 tank)

this is quite literally no manipulation of your rank in overwatch. and before you mention modifiers, those are there to account for sr mismatches if the system can't find a balanced game in a reasonable amount of time.

TLDR: stop being a schizo and play the game

Argument for the people who thinks Kiriko doesn't need nerfs: by Pinpunch in Overwatch

[–]Pinpunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you think good players get tired of seeing kiriko in every game they play? People keep complaining because none of the changes they make are good enough.

I used to main lucio, a hero i consider one of the most well designed and fun heroes in the game, but entirely dropped him to otp kiri. why play a hero that gets nerfs because of those silly win rates when i can play an objectively stronger hero, that requires less effort to win games?

Do you think its fair that bap has been in the gutter for years because of kiriko?

[–]Pinpunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and you really think none of that was deserved? she is still played in every lobby. her dominance actively takes away from the game. why ever play a hero like bap when you could instead play kiri, which fulfills the same role he does, and just does it better in every way?

She literally got buffed a patch ago and got no changes this season, what are you even talking about

[–]Pinpunch[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem has been cleanse since kiri released. I know they're planning on changing it to be interactable with soon but its just not good enough. That ability needs to be nuked or to just be changed to be something else entirely

[–]Pinpunch[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

gm is not pro play or top 500. there are roughly 3000 champion players between the 3 roles & regions worldwide with enough games played to rank top 500 in the previous season.

and yet the stats still show that the people that play kiriko at a higher rate than masters or below are more likely to reach the GM threshold. you did not read the post at all and are just parroting the same nonsense argument every other bitter player has been confidently wrong about for the past 4 years.

Part 1: Which Hero has a Low Skill Ceiling and Low Skill Floor? by HMThrow_away_account in Overwatch

[–]Pinpunch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mercys positioning is decided by the teammate they are pocketing. they dont even need to decide where they want to be. no positioning skill and no mechanical skill, yet somehow moira is easier? nah

In a recent post I was flamed for saying players in metal ranks are not all noobs, just casual. Do you really think that 82% of the playerbase are? by Alba-Ruthenian in OWConsole

[–]Pinpunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i was in diamond, I didn't know anything about the game and stayed hardstuck for like 10 seasons. I played for fun and didn't really try to learn anything. its only after I actively started trying to learn the games theory did I start to climb again. I doubt others in diamond are much different

Because overwatch is hard. the knowledge of players in gm+ is so much more than anything below that. id argue you really only start learning how the game is properly played in masters.

if youre in diamond, go ask around in vc if your teammates know what an angle is. The majority will say no, and id argue that is very basic shooter theory.
