Overwatch

[+Skaila 5,462]

I've queued up 3 matches so far, competitive is kind of fun

[Radio_Activity 95]

They removed the avoid this player in the options so I got paired up with an asshole/troll for 3 matches straight. We lost every one of them and he played genji each time.

[+MrDongles 214]

I think I'm gonna play this seasons competitive very little at its current state. Currently there is a bug where you receive very little rank progression when winning/losing on a KOTH map. Yet when you win/lose on a payload or hybrid map you get what I assume is "normal" rank progression. Many people were speculating if this was intended or not but Jeff commented that it is in fact a bug here

 

I don't want to play a game for any period of time to just get almost not experience for my rank. I'm sure they will fix it in due time. But until then it's quick play for me. 

[Troll 575]

Out of curiosity of anyone that's completed there placements what rank you all got, I got 60 won 8 and lost 2

[+MrDongles 214]

Got 64 going 8 and 2. Think I've dropped to 61 tho :/

[Troll 575]

That's interesting, I think it could favour in a performance factor then for deciding rank

[+JB. 4,800]

Should we move this thread to the Overwatch subforum, or do you want it to stay here?

[Troll 575]

i think le move

[+MrDongles 214]

I think move it. Just put everything one place. Think there is already another thread with the same name in the other games overwatch section tho. But that one is inactive pretty much. Not sure if that is an issues at all.

Ugh, that's rough :/

Whatever you think mate. I created that other thread to kind of get things rolling in what was (eventually) going to be it's new home. Feel free to merge/delete that thread I started. I figured we have a "random stuff" thread for most games so yolo.

You probably already know this but the ten calibration games check your hidden mmr is accurate, the ten games don't determine your mmr, all your quick play games since you started playing do that.

The fix is now apparently live in all regions.

hello gamers hit me up at Macamoose#2275 i can guarantee a fun time with a guy who probably rarely talks, only plays tracer and widowmaker and has game performance issues :^)

[fever 9,884]

I would think objective time and objective kills are your big money makers when it comes to "performance". Aside from winning of course.

Yeah, you can see the extra points popping up when you're on the point or escorting the payload. Kills do nicely for your ult meter and your "on fire" meter, but it's still easier, especially for the supports, if they stay close to the point/payload.

Just a bit of a PSA, currently theres a exploit with hanzo and genji, being able to crash games to avoid a loss in Comp

People are already getting perma banned for doing that lol. One of the hotfixes they pushed out is killing my framerate. Usually get anywhere from 60-85. But now I'm getting big drops from 85 down to 50, or even single digits, in one big chunk if there is more than one player one my screen. I'm even getting frame issues on the hero select screen. Christ I leave town for 2 days and the game seems worse off since I left :/

turn on windows basic mode, i havent had a issue with it myself yet, but i know a few people that have and that seemed to fix it 

[fever 9,884]

I know Deathy was having problems yesterday and it was an nvidia driver issue.

[macamoose 2,574]

I had an FPS issue on the first day I had OW, although there is little surprise to this because my machine is shit, for some reason adjusting the 'appearance and performance of windows' to improve performance fucked my game horribly, after taking it off i dont think i have encountered any sort of FPS drop and I have a solid experience (WITH LOW GRAPHICS LELELELLELEL) - so have a check in case some settings are messing your game up

I also have low graphics on, and tbh the game still looks amazing. Another pro of low graphics is that some props that can be used as hiding/camping spots disappear, don't know if they fixed that yet 

[+MrDongles 214]

Basic windows theme seemed to do the trick, thanks. I do the same, play on all low when I could do all high settings. Gets rid of some shrubbery so you can see better lol
