Are cp prizes based on position at the end of the season or highest obtained

fwiw, the number of leavers has been cut, so that'll help, since I remember three of my placement matches being screwed up by that.
Highest
Yea, cuz winning 300 games in a season requires absolutely no life.

On Ps4, as a rank 65, that puts me into the top 92% of the game and ranked around ~5000 total for comp. I also think my rank is a lot lower then it should be right now, but I've mostly played solo queue, and while that I can generally win more then I lose, its still kind of a crapshoot
But for all those who are down about dropping ranks, I was initially ranked 64 and dropped all the way down to 57 after reaching 65. The grind is annoying, and sometimes you'll lose, but if you are a good enough player you should move up

Defense has real problems right now. Winning on offense is straight-up trivial now that Ana and Zenyatta destroy everything in their way while making their team nearly-invincible, people have gotten better at Genji, everyone has realized the defense heroes are rather useless. It's looking pretty bad, you need to really optimize your ults and outplay offense to have a chance.
Happy to get a free gold weapon. I was honestly expecting less in each tier but I'm not going to argue.
Ana is not the problem, it's Lucio/Zen more so. Zen is the biggest problem right now I guess.

Wouldn't be surprised if 65+ is top 1% in actuality. Overbuff only has around 140K+ players recorded (AKA, the people who actually care about their stats), so I'm sure there is several times more people that finished their placement matches and got ranked. I mean, there is 15M total accounts, guarenteed to have a long tail.
I was kinda bummed for a second since I was only 5 pixels away from getting 60 CPs, but then I remembered I can only buy golden weapons with the competitive currency so who gives a shit lol? I'm more happy about being freed by the 40s hellhole.
Yeah it's essentially a game of seeing who ults first and whether you can counter-ult. That usually gives the advantage to the offensive team.
I'm guessing the gold weapons are just the start and they'll keep adding different types (maybe even character skins).
I'm actually not sure if I really want to get a golden gun or not.
65 is currently the top 8% on PS4 according to masteroverwatch, overbuff has me as top 6%
also, a lot of players just arent that interested in comp, mightve played a little bit and then left.
It feels pretty experimental, which im pretty into. It's the first iteration of an mmr system not based on w/l that ive seen.
Ive always thought that typical w/l mmr systems werent really appropriate for team based games but that there was no feasible alternative

Damn I'll end up with like 500 CP's altogether (150 now) Tracer or Roadhog? Hmmmm
Let's all keep them for whenever Blizz puts out goofy weapons~ (locked behind purple thingies ofc)
I don't think you understood what I said. Both those sites I just mentioned only record once someone looks up their stats. For example, if their is another 200k people who casually played their competitive matches and don't care, then top 6 and top 8% is not correct. The data that blizzard has is not the same as overbuff or masteroverwatch.

Play match after match, get close to nearly getting out of the 40s hole, then match after match of morons using Torb and Hanzo with zero effectiveness.
Seagul damaged people, I swear.

Ahahaha, 300 CP.
I only did my placement matches, got lucky and ended up with a rating of 65!
Guess it was the right decision not play any more competitive, lmao.

When I did my placements 8 out of the 10 matches had leavers, 7 of those matches, it was on my side.
Thanks for the link X-Frame.

Am I stupid to thing that it's just wrong(?) for fat dirty Roadhog to have shiny golden weapons? It would just look weird.
Tracer on the other hand, straight stylin.
Season 2 just needs to implement major penalties for quitters
my friend had a good idea, and that was to have it where the people who quit were given effectively 6 players worth of lossed EXP, make em lose a shit ton of rank for loosing
Im for the banning of quitters from comp play for a season. I hope they do that for this next season.

I think it's that everything contributes to offense more than defense. McCree is buff as hell again, and his ult forces defense to retreat for a few seconds. A few seconds of uncontested cart is practically enough to take the point. On defense, what does his ult do? Delay the other team by 6 seconds at most? And even if he miraculously wipes them, so what? That delays them maybe 30 seconds at most? The payoff for offense is just so much higher than defense, and outside of Anubis, defense doesn't really get great positioning advantages either.

Holy crap, that's awful. Thought I had it bad.When I did my placements 8 out of the 10 matches had leavers, 7 of those matches, it was on my side.

Is that 40s that bad? I'm at 52 at the moment and I'm trying to stay up there but I'm losing a rank for every loss vs gaining maybe half a rank for every win.
Terrible idea if Blizzard's system can't detect the difference between someone leaving, internet going out or their servers kicking you out. Losing 6x the XP for a power outage is a quick way to piss off your userbase.
All this does is make life worse for the people lower in ranking. If anything, they should be flagged as a leaver and put in their own queuing hell where they match with each other

It is kind of lame that gold weapons will be fucking everywhere from now on. It won't mean anything except 'you played a lot, and were kind of good.'
Not exactly a 'great players only' type thing.

I don't know, I'm not really interested in anything weapons-related, I'd rather have something else, but I also don't want them to lock too much good stuff behind these ridiculously high prices. So maybe it's a good thing I don't care about what they think is a suitable reward for being good at competitive.
Only the season high matters, though. You could have played more.
You can get banned from this season already, it's just very, very lenient apparently.

I'm 47 atm. I'm probably whining too much, but it feels pretty bad.
There's like this perfect mix of competency and incompetency that's just infuriating. Sometimes we'll steamroll, sometimes we'll be steamrolled. Hardly ever any close matches right now. I got a sliver away from 49 and then slid back down to 47 in the last hour.
Userbase is pissed off no matter what. Id rather have that incredibly incredibly unlikely event rather then the other very likely event that fucks up people a lot more. All I can say if there's a huge storm going through you area, maybe you shouldnt commit to a comp game.
I think bannings would work. People who have left matches early like 5 times this season should not be allowed to play in season 2 imo

Man those rewards are pathetic on all fronts. Even the 300 one is shit.

Oh my god, shit. I'm 61 right now. I wish I could find a strong group to play with. Would love to get Rein's golden hammer.

Damn, I hope I can get to 60 by the end of the season. Gotta get that gold axe for Reinhardt.
It's bad. (the peak should be 49 so I guess it didn't update at that time)
You basically find a competent full team every 6/7 matches, otherwise it's just 1-2 members screwing up the comp and never switching or someone (usually a Genji) being toxic and bringing down everyone with stupid arguments in the chat. Even on the enemy team when there's someone complaining publicly about their team, it's always a Genji.
Yesterday, on our side, a Genji was claiming it was our fault we were losing because we were a premade (of 3) and today, on the enemy team, that they needed more healers and tanks.
I'm pretty sure they're also sparkly, I saw a Reinhardt with a golden hammer before. Not that it makes them better, but still.
