saying hi before sleep lol

SR isn't rank and its going to tie with you permanently in the form of mmr.

if its anything to go by with SC2, placements next season will be minimized (eg: 5 placements to 1 placement in sc2) since the game ALREADY know what skill you're rated for.

yea but your mmr stays with you like switching between servers for overwatch (not for previous blizz titles though)
i would be surprised if s1 competitive players need to do all 10 placements again next season.

if you've watched jeff/dev vids of the past, its just them wanting to do something different than the leagues (bronze > grand master) in their past games.

and since it's a FPS, they want to try something that's "skill based" hence Skill Rating

relinking

cstkl1
also, chill la

the only thing that is a bit vexing and is also why we're even having this confusion and conversation (since thread v2 that i've started participating) is blizz not being transparent in their MMR unlike sc2.

sure enough, overwatch is new, sc2 took so many YEARS before it even happened and the esports scene overwatch (at the moment) have nothing on sc2.

so that's that.
however with the dev updates/videos and jeff himself being very forward on providing them as well, i'm sure it will improve over time and who knows, eventually you will get to see your MMR just like sc2

finally get to vote lol

yeap, they are doing sc2 mmr transparency which is indeed 1-5000.
4k+ you're in diamond and that's top 20% ish out of the 100% population of players.

its basically what i've been saying all along.
again - skill rating is as the name implies, NOT RANK.

you only get RANK when you're top 500.

now they are introducing TIERS similar to what overwatch competitive was ORIGINALLY intended to and what the other games such as sc2/heroes of the storm are currently adopting.

if its anything like sc2, it'll place you significantly lower or if you're placed diamond last season, it'll place you on platinum just so you actually get to "tier up"

no, this is to avoid them hogging the rankings/leagues when they may not be appropriately skilled at that point or currently.

eg: placement won all, even high tier folks, got into master. and he never ever play competitive and sits there forever effectively hogging the spot. worse if they open up the ranks beyond top 500, and that would mean he is literally hogging a rank space.

or, maybe he 1 month didn't play, casual as f already. login to play, get rekt. natural right? maybe rusty ady.
however he is stuck in that tier and always get rekt, dedgaem no fun. quit overwatch. not good also right? demoting him would effectively match him with easier players (eg: diamond instead of masters) so he won't have to suffer that much.

tldr: blizz wanted to use back the sc2/heroes competitive formula. however the hardcore/beta said otherwise, blizz listened, came up with SR, and that's not what the majority/casuals want (and casuals make up the MAJORITY of your income/player base btw) so its back to the drawing board to reach a compromise to satisfy both sides

finally overwatch on 60 tick rates lol

also with improved netcode, overwatch is now the most responsive FPS > CS:GO even at 64 tick rate 19ms (vs overwatch 63 tick rate 25 ms)
and to speculate, that is probably why it wasnt enabled during the game release as it stresses BOTH the client and servers. not to mention you HAVE to be >60 fps at any given time (which may not be the case for everyone)

this i do not want lol.

and since i got the G502 spectrum core, nah im pretty satisfied already.
besides, i'm just a casual peasant, nothing PRO ESPORTS / PLAY TO WIN in me

ah i just realized i mistyped the name - Proteus Spectrum lol

but the older Logitechs like the G502 already got the 3366 lol
unless of course you want the simpler designed/ambidextrous/ESPORTS/GAME TO WIN version

i'd be obviously biased, but its basically a FPS with blizzard polish, added a lot of good voice acting talents/good cast of heroes and diversified skills that each heroes have.

crazy price though, however lazada somehow got good pricing so yeah lol

hahaha that reaper teleport glitch(es)

and yea, imagine the whole "omg you're not pro enough to join me/us -> /unfriend"
lol.

imho, huge nerf (to the ground lel) for the noob players, minor nerf for pro players.
like it or not, still nerf lol.

it'll be more... normal la.
less chance for kill cam see hanzo aim nothing and you ate a headshot for no reason.

he's an omnic.
omnic crisis.
overwatch was formed to combat them as well, or was the main reason to and rose to the top after dealt the omnic crisis.
