For most of us, unless you are making a living being a pro gamer, rank really means nothing.

Sure, if you get a higher than average rank...it's only bragging rights. You'll be consistently matched against more skilled opponents. Which is good if you intend to be one of the best players, but if bad if you're playing for fun. Because at high skill levels, individual mistakes are punished brutally. One mistake may even cost the game. So the pressure is considerably higher and your teammates are more likely to curse you for that misstep. Think of DotA when you miss that ultimate in the clutch teamfight.

Sometimes, I just want to play against people who are...just as bad as me.

here is the last 2 match of the 9 round we did.

well almost 2 match.. great game guys.

wait he ranks 78 or levels 78.... there is a difference. besides, you guys are in quick play right? why so serious? lol.

there are a lot of weird people especially with the gaming community.

Any1 playing right now?

Turns out there is Korea server even though it's written as Asia too.
Confirmed it with another LYN. I get 5ms ping while he get 100ms even though normally for him Asia is 50 ms.

bcz of this

i quite competitive game

now focus on quick play

the competitive side was not done well, apart from the leaver issue, sudden death is also terrible as the maps are not balanced.

i guess i was lucky that i only got one terrible team thus far, others were quite enjoyable although we lost.

i find that the difference is once you have a good team on both sides, it can result to some hair biting really close matches and strategies.

had a game in lijiang where we were fighting tooth and nail for it, we won 3-1 but each time we needed to fight from 60-90% to make it 99% each, then OT it for another long while.

i dont think I've ever had such experiences in quick play

this is a tip for everyone;
at the moment, if you don't have a full 6 players group, i highly suggest not to go competitive mode unless you are ready to accept the fact that the random ppl have a high tendency to be a leaver.

a lot of ppl have posted in reddit and the official forum, as well as the facebook OW group page, both malaysia and official, and also in this forum, that solo queue competitive mode is a horror and it's just going to waste your time and you'll experience the "fun" of de-ranking.

the chances of leaver decreases when you queue competitive mode with more players in your group.

even in full group, sometimes your friend(s) might get disconnected from the game and couldn't reconnect back.
it happened to kong and me before. kong got dc'ed and couldn't re-join back to the game even though he reconnect back within 60 seconds. i was lucky that i was able to rejoin back to my game after i immediately reconnect back, but the only difference between me and kong is that i have bnet authenticator codes for my login.
i'm not sure if it's because of that, that's why i was able to rejoin back to the game.

not sure you was in that match or not i cannot remember . i was using lucio and want to stick on payload... and i remember got one roadhog user but duno where he was lol....forget ask him to wait me, because i am the one kena flank on the way to first check point
last time i also tried that tactic in hanamura sudden death match. 5 dva and lose badly lol.

not all DVA works well hahaaa... maybe mix with winston can work lol..
or opponent know whats happen next haha

there alot of wannabepro in competitive that like to talk like they so pro..So annoying with those people... "Why u use this, go use that" etc... and they was so rude, was "noob go use that and this" Lol and he expect me to change heroes when he so rude...

So many rude kid is playing this game...

Trying to figure out the rank placement. Went positive W/L (6-4) in placement matches but still ended up with a sub 50 rank (47).

If he grouped with lower rank friends, then he will be matched with lower ranked opponents. Thus winning will only give him little while losing will drop him by a lot.
I'm gaining more exp when i solo que, but i like to play with friends

they should have do this since competitive launch, 6 soldiers rush really cancer.
