Thread 719159689

I've been a day 1 player and stopped around May due to how EOMM influenced Competitive.
Is it any better? is it still fun?

>>719159689 (OP)
I still enjoy it, but im a quick play only. I never fuck with competitive in anything. In my experience, it all feels the same anyway. And speaking of that, yes. Sometimes the matchmaking feels like its feeding you into a fucking grinder, but honestly I dont know of a game that doesnt do that lately. The only thing that Rivals does that others might not do is run you through an obvious bot match after forcing you on a loss streak.

quickplay is quite possibly the worst 'casual' experience ive had in any game
ranked also sucks because of how easy it is to rank WITH NEGATIVE WINRATE
if you play with friends and get matched against enemies of similar skill, it's somewhat fun

First off the game doesn't have EOMM, second you play comp which makes you a fag.

>>719159689 (OP)
It's okay.

Why the hate for comp? Granted, I only ever go up to gold for the seasonal rewards. I often find comp to be a more pleasant experience than QP, because in comp players on my team are actually trying to win (most of the time). In QP you get 4 Duelist instalock ever other game, and retarded Strategists thinking they're flankers, and all that stuff.
Sure, it's just a game, and we're all here to have fun. But I generally find winning to be more fun than losing.

Dropped it and the same time lol. Mostly because it's a live service game. I always drop 'em pretty fast.

Unfortunately I've seen absolute retard picks happen in comp as well. Its even more infuriating when it happens there. Especially in the "gold and below" bracket, because thats where a bunch of casuals that clicked it as an alternative to QP or because they want the skin.

They say it doesn't use "eomm". But that doesnt mean that it doesnt use something functionally identical to eomm. Their PR speak means nothing to me. He might as well tell me that QP doesnt give you bot matches, but I'd wager he will simply just never addressed that one.

it looks like total shit now. it hasn't improved at all. they added 2 characters nobody cares about and its still the same couple of shit maps. new game modes that are garbage and nobody wants. even the battle pass is lack luster with skins nobody wants.

>>719159689 (OP)
Overwatch is unironically in a healthier state than this shit, which is saying a lot.

As long as you play nothing but quickplay and instantly lock into whoever you FEEL like playing, ignoring all bitching from your teammates about what the team needs, you can have fun. You might not win, but if you enjoy playing as a certain character then you can enjoy the game.
Make sure you have all voice and text chat turned off, of course

You pink haired OW loving trannies have been saying that non-stop though and no one believes you.

Usually I end up being GM by the end of the season but this Season I'm struggling to even hit GM. Took me most of July just to get outta Plat. So I'm currently hardstuck Diamond.

I took a break to play other shooters, and now I don't wanna to go back. Blade sucks, the player base seems to have gotten worse, and the shooting in the game was never good compared to other games. The only thing this game has going for it is the Marvel characters and now they want to start adding OCs.

shit talking is half the fun though.

I've never been one for trash talk in vidya unless its people i'm physically sitting with. I tell enough people theyre stupid fags who should kill themselves here everyday

>EOMM
doesn't exist
>in Competitive
Comp is literally just averaging a team's rank and trying to match stacks, there's barely any matchmaking going on at all. If you think a ladder is going to ever give you an even match you're completely retarded.
Quick Play is SBMM.

>Is it any better? Is it still fun?
I nearly dropped the game with 2.5's god awful flier meta but thankfully it seems that giving Thing anti-air options and tuning Storm back down got things back under control. It's still fun to me despite my favorite characters being constantly nerfed for no reason.
