@@realedgers exactly. as gavin said on the group up podcast chat, this is to reflect your recent activity on rankeds and show the people that you have been grinding this last months
Lmaooo I have a similar problem. Next week I'm going back to university and my dorm has garbage wifi. I only get 2 days to participate in this, probably won't get much done
Yeah this is what I get for booking a weekend away, I leave an hour before they start and will be getting home a few hours after they end on the monday... I just want the lifeweaver green hand
I’m not even gonna lie. Me and my friend basically only ever duo queue dps all day in masters, and on main, both our supports are plat 3 we will be farming for tokens
I can't even help it. Was D1-M2 for 5 years, but they reset the ladder so often, and I play so few games that I'm still naturally only ranked up to P1-D5ish. Half of it is blizzard's own fault for multiple ladder resets.
Yeah what they don't tell you is that all of the fucking chodes come out because it's a limited time fomo name tag every loss takes away from your drive score and the way matchmaking is balanced you have to lose so many every time you win. I literally just had an eight lost streak before my first win in silver I can't climb out of this garbage with the teammates I get and Smurfs EVERYWHERE. IT'S SO FRUSTRATING
Trying to climb solo is bad enough, after grinding so hard to get where am I at I can already tell this will be a nightmare. Even worse, drives won't be in Open Queue if I read right? Open feels like the only mode I feel I have major control of how my match will turn out
For a game that was said that we're not going to try to make the game too competitive in the Future - yet, they sure still are doing that on pleasing only that side of the base. Hmmm.
Incentive to play competitive =!= making the game competitive. U literally just get points and a mid tier prestige flex. How is this altering how the game is played ?
Im burnt out from overwatch, wayyyy too much bullshit revealing on blizzard lately and junkrat - my main - is always in kinda shitty spot (as in people hate him so much he's always not receiving skins, he's always on the low end of balance so he's always below okay pick and he's the most hated character in the game probably behind orisa and hog)
sucks for people who work jobs on weekends, sucks for people who aren't available on the weekend. Sucks that the signatures reset if it means that the number goes back to 0 (also why doesn't the first signature have a 'I' in it whilst the second and third have 'II' and 'III' respectively)
Prestige systems arent new to overwatch 2, almost a year ago now hero progression was added, in hero progression you can prestive your hero specific sub-badges. Account progression can also be prestiged
Mauga has been dominating my lobbies on console this weekend. Literally had some that never died. I even was using Orisa and was getting stomped and I have the most time with Orisa.
Yup, flat is right. People gonna play this for gold/jade weapons Great opportunity for all of us to get extra gold weapons but for people who have job it sucks
Overwatch 2 releases: "we took out the borders you have been grinding your entire overwatch career because of toxicity people calling you losers for playing the game too much". 3 years later: " here are some signature title cards for spending too much time on this game". surely these devs are sane.
for everyone’s information, assuming you average a 50/50 record and average 20% gained and lost for every game you play, it will take you 54 games to reach 2700 drive points. That is 18 games of competitive a day. Completely insane that they think people have that much time on their hands.
They DIRECTLY stated that "only the most devoted players" will get to the top. They know for a fact that most people dont and fully intend for that to remain the case. Its an extra, an exclusive. They don't want every weekend warrior to be able to get it for just a couple hours of play, then it means nothing.
ye i realised i worded the last part wrongly. I was just pissed it’s gunna be a grind for me this weekend if i want it. But it’s completely valid having it take so many games to get the highest reward.
even beyond the amount you have to play, the event lasting such a short amount of time is insane cause not everyone can play on weekends, even some casual players wouldn't be able to because they might have weekend jobs.
Played 4 games won the first got 150 drive points lost the second lost 150 drive points, won the third got 150 drive points back lost the 4th lost the points. In of of the two losses there was an obvious thrower
I got to the 1500 comp points in the drives rewards. I stayed up all night to get them… and it won’t let me use them… it coaimed I don’t have enough. When i currently have over 5000 points
Dumb they won’t let you earn any of these rewards in open queue. Doing poorly in solo role queue makes teammates lose their mind. Guess I’ll just turn off chat and accept that gameplay sabotage warning or ban
Haven't played ranked since they took away the end of season rewards. I'm about to throw my placement matches to get placed in bronze and then try hard.
Me not having played a lot this season still having the “calibration” getting like 50+% is gonna breeze through this unlike dedicated people that will need to place pto to get enough time 😂
I actually think the second tier looks way better than the third one. Got all my competitive points and gonna stop now, i hope blizzard has the 3000 points next time as well, but i doubt it
ive played like 20 rounds of ranked since 2018 and got the drive completed in 3 hours (23 games including placements which dont contribute to drive score) because i was bored hardly a prestige imo also the points from this dont work on weapons atm
the fact that it was only this weekend is asinine. i work 4-10s two of which are friday-saturday and i spend every sunday with my parents. so even though i very much wanted to participate i got shafted by blizzard. at least give us a work week; 5 days.
They really need to stop making these events only last a weekend. The devs are excluding so many people. I work and my duo is at his mums. And I’m sure it isn’t just us who can’t play alll day alll weekend. They should start doing these events so they last the weekend and possibly the first half of the working week(give everyone an equal opportunity to play a decent amount)
would love to have legacy competitive points removed/converted back to comp points, makes no sense to me that they gatekeep you from your competitive gold and jade skins every start of the year on seasons by converting your hard earned comp points into legacy comp points, which are basically useless all year around
@@xprodigy1x674 broo 😂 but hey atleast whatever competitive points you earned now will be converted to legacy on February 2025 so than you will be able to use the legacy to get a golden gun just keep that in mind
I thought it was going to be like for the last week of the season, not the last weekend I have. work, so I won't be able to participate in this. I probably won't ever be able to participate in this. but I mean, it's only some cosmetics. so what do I care?
Hopefully it'll still be bugged for me so I can play 2 matches, get 300% total and be done with this shit (or it'll bug out the other way this time and for every 20% gained on a win I'll be losing 150% per loss).
7:25... you mean how mystery hero's is dead since they brought in role queue mystery heroes and people don't know how to play that mode. Its the same kind of people that go into a FFA game full of genjis and play soldier and complain its a shit mode. Yes its a random mode, but there are still basic strats like not killing the widow on the other team who cant hit a single shot
You need to get placement matches done first in Comp. You need to get a Rank first and then climb to get drive points since it's bound to progressing through the Ranks.
Eh, I don’t like the signatures and there isn’t anything worth using the comp points on. I’ll pass on this, but it’s good they’re trying to give incentives to play comp.
What is the point if the rewards are temporary? If you don’t participate in this, you aren’t missing out on anything, since the “rewards” will just be wiped in a few seasons anyway. Pass.
@@GlitchiiZ it’s just drivel. Like, how does WoW manage to create an elite colorway skin for every class in every arena season but this is the best we can do for OW? Can we get one lick of prestige for putting time into reaching masters 5+ rank in competitive? Mythic gems at least? Does every single skin or recolor have to be in the goddamn battlepass or shop?
Don't even get me started on the horseshit that is matchmaking because my girlfriend and I Duo. And for some reason our healers are different ranks after a certain number of wins I can't heal with her because I end up in a wide match. Not to mention we literally got paired with the same Duo four games in a row because that's fair matchmaking. This game needs a serious overhaul the whales won't keep it alive forever
Sounds like you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Typical toxic OverWatch player. Or do you not understand that a Duo gets paired against a Duo and we're both on Nintendo switch so we don't get to talk to our team but I imagine all the other duos are using voice chat. And if anything it'll be my fault because she heals better than everybody in the lobby so kindly take that shi and shove it@@trshxgod8040
