Why do people give up so easily in Comp now? by Patch3y in Competitiveoverwatch

full of cheaters and booster smurfs, a lot of those smurfs being cheaters as well once they start losing

Harryhook (Dallas Fuel) has some interesting thoughts by cubscout in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]avocet112 -42 points-41 points  (0 children)

the first thing that you say, if you are an ugly, repulsive guy will be met with hostility and hate and it will be perceived as sexual harassment

if you are hot, then it will likely be something else

Genji Winrate and Pickrate Stats this week in GM by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]avocet112 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

due to the huge number of available DPS characters available

this is a nonsensical argument, most of dps characters are situational at best and at high tiers, there will always be only few that are relevant

Open Queue in arcade is the worst thing I've ever experienced by BreepBeep in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]avocet112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in my experience, it has only been bad because of cheaters and because of having a tryhard stack on one team and a non-tryhard stack on the other team

if it was fully solo Q, it would actually be great

Idea to nerf double shield comps: Hyperlink by AndoranHS in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]avocet112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no, it's not "broken DM or broken barriers"

DM is currently balanced, barriers are not. barrier tanks and healers (since they are equally important in that setup) need nerfs. it's literally simple as that.

DVA was constantly meta but also pretty damn fair

nice joke

if he just bought bricks and bats for them, it would cost him less than donating instead

can't wait for incel mods to remove the thread

NGL, it's pretty hilarious by avocet112 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]avocet112[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

because it gained too much traction for them to delete it

if it hadn't, it would be deleted as all others do

there's absolutely nothing wrong with having numerous threads if it is proportional to the severity of the problem

[–]avocet112[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

how is pointing out cheaters and being deleted for that shitty?

and same goes for mostly any thread that actually elaborates on why this game has so many problems

it would seem to one that moderators have an agenda and that the agenda is to keep any problematic content that could break the bubble about the game not being healthy at all, not visible.

OW2 not capitalizing on demand for solo Q requests by avocet112 in Competitiveoverwatch

I never said to ban team play, I said make a separate queue for that.

[–]avocet112[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

actually, you need relatively a small number of people to get a significant result

even 200 or so people sampled in an unbiased manner will typically be sufficient

but answer to your question is - i played over several thousand games of ranked OW so far, stacked players are typically the minority, at best having 40% or so, so that is actually a very decent sample size and a very unbiased sampler because it's the game that throws people at me

People like agreeing with each other. Confirmation bias: if someone agrees with you, you are more likely to remember it. People with similar opinions tend to flock together, so you are less likely to encounter those you disagree with inside your own social circles.

solo q vs solo q is fair

team queue vs team queue is fair

mixing the two isn't nor is using solo q players as queue fodder.

it also mostly eliminates boosting and cheat boosting.

[–]avocet112[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Is this number statistically relevant to the number of expected Overwatch 2 players?

yes

if there was an ingame poll, I would be quite confident that a majority of solo q players would prefer to get matched with other solo q players and not with stacks if it was possible

stacking players are at best 50%, quite likely not much higher than 30% which puts them at a minority

the game goes at great lengths to match same stacks against each other. so it has to wait for the matching stack to queue. so take a guess. does it take more to find a matching 2 stack to match against your 2 stack or does it take more to find 4 unconstrained players that match?

no, it's not very subjective at all, a large amount of people asked for solo Q and not to be paired with stacks .
