I don't like the open part of Genji's skin, I want his entire body to be covered. More stealthy that way and it offers protection which is really the main purpose of that suit.

Skyline is like my dad, telling me the harsh truths I need to hear.
I wanted to play tonight but I gotta work on my brother's car :/
Event starts tomorrow, right?
The one main point is right. Just focus on playing well and winning the matches you can. Can't win em all, just play well and hope an opening pops up or throw it away.
I've never lost more than 150-200SR in a night and always get it back p easily the next day. I don't tilt into massive lose streaks either though. The couple times I've lost that much is when it's like win one, lose two on repeat for an hour or so.
Tbh I think people focus too much on "unlucky" streaks. You don't get unlucky more than 3-4 times in a row. If you go on a streak that bad you fucked up somewhere along the line. I do think the swing heavy SR gain/loss is a problem, but if you're losing that much that's a fuck up.

Honestly, if you're losing 3 in a row, it's time to stop playing for the day and just recoup yourself for tomorrow or later that week. I've got into the trap where I tell myself "I'll get off as soon as I get a win" and that win comes in way too late (if it even happens). I'd rather stop playing for the day after 3-4 lose streak, than maybe win a game or continue an even rougher lose streak.

Damn, I have 6000 gold saved up and want none of these. Maybe the Bastion?
i feel like streaks were just invented to get smurfs up to their levels quicker or something

he got the furry skins tho what more could u want
Well, yeah. You kind of want early streak modifiers on new accounts to get them higher ranked if they are smurfs or just gifted enough to stomp low ranks. That's actually a pretty normal thing. The fact this isn't limited to accounts with very few games played is baffling though. The fact that to compensate for this downstreaks hurt so hard is also kinda crazy.
At the end of the day, slight streak modifiers on new accounts isn't a huge issue. Note I said slight. There are 2 big problems that keep coming up though:
A) SR gain/loss is actually massive in general to such a degree you can skew the system easily.
B) Dynamic Queue allows you to too easily manipulate matches to take advantage of those massive gains along with streak bonuses.
Like, it's really easy in an evening to queue up with people better than you and gain 1k SR. Get a streak going and have like a 70% winrate in an evening and you will actually gain that much SR. Whether you meant to or not, now you're actually boosted. Lo and behold, at some point you eat a big fat loss streak and dump all your SR. It leaves people all over the place.
The worse offshoot effect of all this is it makes game quality unpredictable. Since ranks and MMR in general are so unstable you never know which team is better just looking at the numbers. It's possible to eat loss streaks a bit out of your control because in general game quality is on the poorer end these days, and the results is you end up with lower sR than you wanna be at for a day or two. That's the kinda shit that makes people not wanna play your ranked mode. Putting people in lower and more stable ranks won't make them stop, but having low game quality and unpredictable ranks across the board will.

New Ultimate tied with the skin.
I mean sure there's edits and I'm just being critical, but it's just a slightly modified base McCree skin. They could do more for him.
Agreed.
Could make an edit, but fuck it. On my own personal level, I don't feel like interacting with the ranking system because it's massively swingy and unpredictable at 4k+ elo. I feel that's where it should be the most stable, but it's where I see the most swings. Like, I see people I know sit at around 4200-4300 go down to 3700. I see them again later in the week and they are back at 4400 or something. That's a failure of a ranking system from my perspective.
Then you turn around and you see people that gained 1k SR to go from like 3400 to T500 in the course of under a week, then they fall back down massively. It feels like a huge waste fo time to interact with the ranking system when I see that type shit.
And then game quality is a bit of a 50/50 on top of that. The game is pretty momentum heavy and swingy anyways, but the amount of stomps is higher than it probably should be. Then you have people who get boosted up to T500 range and then just troll and throw their way back down. I don't mean be bad. I mean go "oh the ranks don't matter to me at this point" and they pick Torb and jump off the map tier trolls.

Placements in general make it seem unpredictable
I couldnt take a screenshot but there was literally someone who gained sr enough to get to diamond in placements when s2 and 3 he was stuck in plat with a <.500 winrate
I was placed low plat for two seasons and have gotten to mid diamond each time, why dont my placements react in the same way as others and then stopping completely because I got enough points for a gold weapons
I obvious dont know what to do but they make things feel real useless with placements being the way they are, they did try to stop being getting boosted and even though i feel most times some people are, I dont see people in comp being as incompetent as like someone in qp as much as I do see people tilting and losing on purpose
which is another thing, I get that its a team game but having to take a fat L because someone doesnt want to pay for a smurf and are deranking or just want to straight up be an ass is bullshit
Blizzs rules make comp not worth playing but then the people playing qp unless its a super high mmr make it not worth playing either, so its like where do I play?, I thought browser would fix that but thats filled with idiots trying to rp or something

Figures I finally get a win streak and break back into Masters, only to instantly get a troll who full on stood in our base tbagging all match for no reason.
I really hate this game sometimes

Awesome games everyone. That Hollywood match was everything great about Overwatch.
Aside from Mei, I really want a Zarya & Lucio Nendoroid.
I'm curious to see how Zarya's design will look like, as she's pretty beefy, and muscle heavy characters usually don't translate well into chibi form. Surprised D.Va hasn't been announced yet.
D.Va's gonna' be premium as heck. If she happens she'll be twice the price.

Agreed, that was amazing. Played like shit in the first round, but thankfully we were able to turn it around. The koth games were also pretty good, we got 3 in a row.
And sorry buttchin for leaving you alone with a full charged zarya in a tight room lol, as soon as I saw her shining I just got the fuck out of there without noticing you were behind me, but with the two of us and her discorded we would've got her for sure.
Also, Hog and Winston are the shit. Zen can be terrifying playing as winston though.

But what if you lose like 10-15 in a row but feel like you are doing everything right (talking QP or Comp, doesnt seem to matter these days...)
Edit: just finished the video. I just need to keep playing Comp games to get back into the swing of things. Subscribed to that guy. He has a way of putting me at ease lol

Glad you guys came out ahead.
Lag was seriously murdering me and I wasn't as effective as I could have been.
I think I might have fixed the issues maybe but would probably like to wait to get into comp until I get my wired connection setup.
Sounds like you just aren't carrying hard enough. /s
Honestly even low diamond has this problem because as I soon as I start to rise I'll get matched with people throwing, tilting, generally not caring and I'll check their ranks and sure enough former masters, gm's, etc.

It shows how much I have been playing Persona that I am planning Overwatch into my schedule tomorrow.
I will stop at nothing until I get those skins.

Ok since regular lootboxes are practically useless at this point in time, can we get a function to recycle them to get one of an event instead, eg. trade 10 regulars for a themed one.
