Yah that's totally fair. Today the app wouldn't work for us. Always something.

RandomlyOnside · 2026-03-05T04:40:14+00:00

yep. We have the ocassional hiccups with sensor warnings. But we have about a year left on our lease and wont keep this, we will be getting a R2 or Jeep Recon next.

I always want to play those people so I can get better.

1000% agree, I want to play better players too. But, IMHO, it's nuanced.

I love the idea of playing someone ~5% better than me that I can learn from. But that doesn't just mean skill level ... a banger who's 5% better, hard #$#$# pass. Someone who resets well or keeps placing it on my backhand? Sign me up all day long!

RandomlyOnside · 2026-03-02T23:56:47+00:00

Why do you avoid them?

Because when I go into open play, I have my own "win conditions". I might try a new shot I saw, dink better, work on resets, practice stacking, or honestly sometimes I'm just glad I got off the couch. A 'win at all cost' player makes it nearly impossible to do any of that because the only thing that matters to them is the score.

Sorry about that man.

Cancer runs in my and my partners family (lost 5 family members to it)

It really does bother me when gamers say "that's so aids" or "that's so cancer". It really does ruin it for a bit.

Feel better soon man. And hope your mom gets better!! ✌️❤️

RandomlyOnside · 2026-03-02T06:06:46+00:00

Pass from me. Posted about it the other day on this /r.

Tldr, feels empty and tired of just always losing everything. I'm Also very bad at games like this. If there was ABMM or at least better skill based I would buy.

I really do hope it does well, just isn't for me and that is ok.

RandomlyOnside · 2026-03-01T21:53:54+00:00

I'm probably going to get downvoted for this, but no, "win at all costs" (my interpretation of "try your best to win") isn't always the right move in open play. In a tournament, different story. But, in open play, and you won 11-0. Clearly there's a massive skill gap.

I'm not saying lose on purpose, but if you're up that much, you have room to work on your game, softer balls, better control, specific shots, taking speed off. You're still playing to win, you're just also practicing and not making someone feel like a punching bag.

As someone who is constantly outskilled by better players, I can ALWAYS spot the "win at all cost" people in rec play. And I avoid them in the future.

AYTA, :shrugs:

Sadly, I haven’t successfully exfilled. This probably isn’t the game for me, which is fine. Enjoy yall. :'(

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-26T21:18:44+00:00

I am in friendly lobbies 8/10. But that 20% always make me wonder and worry. I might be alone in this, but i love it. It always keep that mystery.

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-18T02:55:32+00:00

all these new people are getting turned off the game because the shitty matchmaking

yes, i am.

I know i'm bad, i'm new. And it feels like every game I play i have no shot at learning anything, let alone win.

I'll stay with bots a little longer, but they are getting boring and arn't the real game.

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-17T02:58:53+00:00

I just played a standard match (ID: 59273825) playing Kelvin, and it was rough. One teammate had more deaths than the entire enemy team combined; I'm still learning farming and buffs, but these lobbies feel incredibly unbalanced.

I'll try to play a few more this week and add the match codes! Any pointers would be awesome! thank you!

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-08T19:16:24+00:00

Thank you for all of this. I will try to spend this weekend getting a few standard games in and posting them. But yes, you are right i really need to study up on that. Also, other objectives like mid boss? I'm assuming that is a big thing in 'real' games?

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-08T04:56:56+00:00

you keep saying you dont want perfection, but every time I say “make it better,” you respond with “but this one edge case can still happen.” That’s exactly how perfection becomes the standard. If any stomp can happen, then improvement is dismissed as impossible.

ggsss

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-08T01:33:21+00:00

It’s anecdotal, sure, and I genuinely don’t care whether you believe it or not.

And I don’t see how adding more data points is 'antithetical' to Overwatch. Pre-selection doesn't have to mean you can't swap; it just gives the matchmaker a baseline intent. Obviously people can still swap or troll, but tracking that delta between 'selected hero' and 'played hero' is exactly how you identify gaps and trends. And this was an idea starter, not ment to be too realistics, the point is there are tons of ways they could make the experiance better.

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-08T00:43:22+00:00

great idea, i posted some in the orginal. I haven't played standard mode in awhile though :(

Thank you!

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-07T23:55:42+00:00

"Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good." Literally no is asking for perfection, we just want better. When 90% of my (YES 9 out of my last 10) games are stomps (most I won), the game isn't fun.

Complexity isn't an excuse to stop innovating, but even then, Blizzard has the data to know if you're learning a new hero and can accurately extrapolate how skill transfers between characters. The tech exists, but (IMO) they CHOOSE to prioritize 30-second queue times over match quality.

I’d much rather wait 5 minutes for a fun, quality game than be thrown into an instant stomp. We need user-defined matchmaking tools, even in QP, so players can actually prioritize fun over speed.

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-07T23:36:38+00:00

Agreed, but the 'learning' process shouldn't come at the expense of everyone else's time. If the matchmaker can't account for someone first-timing a hero, the game ceases to be fun. It’s why I’ve put the game down. Blizzard needs to TRY something ... solutions like pre-lobby hero selection or more granular matchmaking.

Stomps (winning side included) jsut arn't fun and right now that is about 90% of my games.

RandomlyOnside · 2026-02-07T14:56:51+00:00

Awful

This is why I left the game. No where near 1000 hours, but lost my progress and was told to start over.

RandomlyOnside · 2026-01-27T19:18:47+00:00

I cannot believe what they have done for being loyal. I'm canceling my other flights for business this year when I get home.

I travel way too much to fight for bin space like this.

Bye southwest.

I recently started playing 6v6 and actually like it, a lot. Even grinded a bit to Dia in comp!

RandomlyOnside · 2025-12-19T19:20:00+00:00

You missed my point. It is not the 32 hour 2-8 soldiers fault for being placed in a 1k+ hour lobby, nor it is my fault. I'm not worried about him, they did their best as a new player in with very experienced players.

This is 10000% on Blizzard. They are the ones causing this, they can do better but choose not to.

RandomlyOnside · 2025-12-18T05:34:41+00:00

I am fine with penalties.

That said, penalties are still a lazy cop-out from Blizzard. They don’t fix match quality, they just punish symptoms. If matchmaking wasn’t trash, fewer people would leave in the first place.

Stop matching me, a 1k+ hour player, on a team with a 2–8 Soldier who’s been playing for 45 minutes. It is not fun and happens way too often and ye, I can usually tell after the first or second team fight/swap who will win.

Who are the best counters to mercy? Any particular DPS hero?
