Overwatch is an incredible achievement in multiplayer shooter design. It bobs and weaves almost perfectly between being the quick-fix adrenaline hit you might want after a long day of work, and the thoughtful, strategic multiplayer experience that becomes the center of evening-long binges with friends. It might not have the most exhaustive list of maps and modes, but it provides nearly endless opportunities for exhilarating, coordinated play, and when you’re the one at the center of it, it feels like nothing else.

And again Blizzard manages to create a very well received and popular game. Too bad this success will now attract mostly even more kids and newbs, that had no interest in the game before. Sad
As it seems those people often just jump onto the hype-bandwagon.

I've encountered one aimbot and maybe one esp in about 30 hours of play time.

The aimbotter looked they didn't even know how widowmaker worked and was trying to do awp flicks without any charge constantly while snapping everywhere.

I'm pretty sure any online competition will be 50% of people using esp, since the cheating culture in competitive fps is so big

Fuck you! It's all just a coincidence. Embarassed Crying or Very sad

But let's assume i'm not a good player. It's impossible for one bad player to drag down the whole team. Yet after i rage quitted your group, i joined 2-3 other games where my team got destroyed. WTF is this.

We had a match against a team full of Hanzos. Laughing We won it without any trouble. Only those ultimate abilities caused some trouble.


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

It's so frustrating getting stuck on a team where people seemingly don't know (or don't care) about the objective. Instead they just run around solo acting like it's team deathmatch.

Yeah, happens sometimes, yesterday in a random party some f..ing Lucio guy was always in the front line trying to get kills and not healing/buffing anyone, on top of that he barely got any enemy killed.

Okay, so. I just had my first play in a true premade group - as in voice comms, 6 people, all pretty decent players and constant objective play, ulti combos, great timings.

The game just reached a completely higher level for me with that. Coordination completely changes and elevates this game.

Soon enough we were matched against pretty good players, and very balanced, very intense games followed with awesome clutch plays. Many twists and turns, many clutch moments in overtime.

It's very hard to explain, but the essence is, fights are like you see in higher level moba plays, very nicely placed skills, good crowd control, perfect timing. And we are still basically beginners, and still it feels great. Very fluid.

On one of the king of the hill matches they did the new meta against us (2 winston, 2 mcree, 2 lucio). We countered with normal team composition, with two tanks (Roadhog and Zarya - me), Hanzo, Mei and Soldier and Mercy. We had lost the point many times, but then we farmed up our ultimates, went in with the tanks, pulled one character in, which prompted the winstons to jump in, then Mei forced them all in one place, by blocking exit with ult, then came Zarya ulti, catches them all, then Hanzo ulti, kills them all. 5-7 seconds overall. That's just one play, but many coordinated plays like that. Obviously, next time we tried that, they coordinated to have one Winston with shield for emergency, and we failed. Then adapted, and won again.

It is epic. To be honest, we can hate on blizz all we like, but gameplay wise ... this is a very good game. The story and characters are still shit imho, but the gameplay. Ah man. Epic.

Yeah I've been put in a team with a bunch of imbeciles often enough and pit against a probable pre-made. Feels bad when you go as Lucio and the attack players you're keeping healthy don't even shoot the rival players that come straight to you, they just keep going forward Laughing But hey , at least when I play attack with such useless people against a strong team I know I'm getting better at a faster rate than average Very Happy

I think it's a real overestimation the amount of times you get put vs premade groups in soloq.
The only likely thing to happen is that if some groups que up with 4 or 5, you end up as 'the random' in their team, versus another team with 4-5 people and randoms. (and you can easily tell this is true because often at the end of a round the random will leave, and the next round you end up facing the same 4-5 other people again)
The chances of a random 6 man team being matched up against 4+ person premade groups is extremely unlikely, it's just that often you're "the random" in a 4-5 man team without you even realising it, and then you are obviously playing versus another premade.

Obviously that doesn't mean the matchmaking is not shit, most of the time the matches consist of stomp or be stomped, it's rarely ever an even game.
Mostly because whatever system decides (mmr?) to match people, never seems to worry about the lowest common denominator - one person that's not very good can make or break the team. Even with premades, the whole team being level30 with a high mmr, with one person being level5 with a low mmr, the system seems to match you up according to the highest mmr on the team rather than a low average, and you end up facing teams that most of the time will completely annihilate you.
Don't believe that playing in a premade is all that great either. It's more fun because you can rage and talk with people you know, but don't believe the bullshit that you roflstomp trough everything, it's often more frustrating than soloq due to the matchmaking system.

Premade is only good, if you actually take advantage of what a premade is: coordinated strategy and communication. The enemy will often have that. If all you have is your mates in a grp, but no comms and coordination, then it will be very bad for you indeed.
