That's ridiculous. Totally not jealous.
Carry me to top 500 this season pretty please with a cherry on top.
Btw, heads up PS4 players, trolls are on the loose. Torbs, Widows, and Hanzos everywhere. May God be with you.

To be more generous.
Talking especifically about my team mate that placed in Silver. His highest was gold tier (don't know the exact SR), finished the 2nd season at 1876, got 8-2 in the placement matches and was placed at ~1880.
I think he should've gained more SR. Assuming he gains/loses around 20-25SR per match in a normal comp game, I wish he could be placed 100-150SR higher than what he got with those results.
I don't have the heart to do that to randoms, maybe I'll just take a Rein break and see what happens, maybe play Soldier, my new main.lol that's bad.
We actually got really lucky with our randoms, except for one soldier that sucked and made us go 5vs6 during basically the whole game since he was always getting picked first going by himself (he was only level ~35 though, so it's ok).
We saw a couple of Torbs on the opposite side though
Doubt it.
I'll drop with you. You play Torb and I go Sym.
Winning and losing doesn't matter that much in this season's placings it seems like. They just put you where you left off.

No it's not that, I was put in Platnium in the beginning and I ranged up and down for the first few weeks. However then my internet started going in and out during matches so I was just not going to take the risk of playing Comp and screwing my time. Anyway during the last week I start playing again and I just lose repeatedly. Kind of going to be disappointed if I do my placement matches and don't end up in Platinum.

I mean it doesn't matter much but I'm sure there's a difference between going 9-1 and 3-7. I want to finish at least at plat so I don't have to stress about climbing.

That's even worse, you can only hit people when you have your ult as Soldier. At least with Torb you have the turret.

Welp sticking with placing then never touching Competitive until the next season. Maybe I'll have a golden gun in a year or so from that. Good for people that like this mode; I do not have the patience for it.

Went 7-3 in placement matches while 4 stacked.
Me: 2537
Friend 1: 2230
Friend 2: 2770
How do they determine SR for placement lolol it's basically 100 points less then last season.

Alright I finished my placements. Loss 7, Won 3
Ended S2 with 2771, SH was 3099
Ended with 2501 plat....
Um...ok then. I'm fine with that. Pretty much where I started S2. With the way Blizzard was talking I figured I'd be in the 1900s or some shit.

Iddqd went 2w 2d 6l and placed 4.4k
Also its clear the placements use hidden mmr because he was playing with other pros.
So it looks like in terms of priority,
1. Previous season performance.
2. Personal performance.
3. Win/loss ratio.
Blizzard also said the placing problem was too many in plat and gold, not masters so I guess it makes sense.

no, Jeff said S2 every1 started fresh/clean slate. probably at 2500~ thats why alot of gold/plat.

Anyone having this same problem I am currently experiencing? Basically whenever I am tapped into OW, the game engine seems to drastically reduce framerate, however when i tab out of the game to my secondary monitor, i can see that the framerate in the game shoots back up to being butterysmooth.
Seriously have no idea what would be causing this, I was litterally having no such issue last night. And the only thing I've done between then and now is turning off the pc and then back on
Edit - Now the issue is gone after restarting pc <_<

5 gold medals with Zen on Nepal KoTH during placements. Lose and I don't get a card. I don't really know how to feel right now. >_>

From what I'm reading the game gives you a lot of SR in the first matches (I think Jeff Kaplan also mentioned this in one of those developer videos). You have a great chance to reach master with a few games.

I'm 1-0 in placements. We can only assume that my hidden MMR is 5000.
I'd like to announce my retirement from Overwatch.

I tried some solo q....they asked me to play soldier on Hanamura defense.
We lost. I did okay for a bit though? You have no proof either way.

It was most likely your fault.
I saw that you were on and I was going to play a bit now, but since you are now off I'm just gonna play Inside instead. Not in the mood for soloq :\

I went 5-5 and placed barely over 2000. I finished last season around 2400
I started off poorly but then picked it up. Finished with around 23 eliminations to 10 deaths on average. Pretty disheartening tbh.

Just out of curiousity, what kind of difference have you noted after switching to pc? Does the game feel harder/easier, or are there clear differences in how often certain heroes are picked ?

how/why do you have a Genji icon if you're not even level 20 yet lol
I switched over from ps4.
Im level 344 on that account with 80+ hours on Genji
Not sure what any of that has to do with what avatar i have lol
Not to mention i had this after for a while after the Dragons short came out
Everythings faster
Where im at right now comps are the same i see on console
Doesnt really feel harder but im only lvl17 right now. The only real problem was getting used to mouse and keyboard but then its just muscle memory.
Widows are good enough to pick.
Its funny though in the match i just played some guy from the OTHER team was abusing OUR widow on chat. It was so weird saying stuff like ez pi zi. Widows useless and getting carried and stuff lol.

The "meta" is like character tier rankings in fighting games.
Unless your attending tournaments and playing professionally it generally doesn't apply to you. The only time these things matter is when the best of the best are playing.
I main Pharah and have fun. Fuck the meta

These placements are a sham. Your win loss doesn't mean shit, its primarily based off of what you placed last season. Just met someone who placed 3700 and only won 1 of their placement matches. Welp...sucks for all those who tanked their SR on purpose at the end of the season lol.
They deserve all the shit they get.
