We will be closing this General thread in 24 hours. It will remain searchable.
After that we will require new threads to discuss topics.
Questions should go in the stickied Q&A thread, screenshots and PotG will go in the PotG sticky, QQ/Rage/Complaints should go in the QQ/Rage thread. If you want to talk about maps or strategies open a new thread.
Any comments or concerns will be logged please forward them to ZeromuS. This new forum is still fluid so we will try this out. General TL rules will still apply to new threads. |

We’re very excited about a ranked play mode. If this feature does not make launch, it will be one that we focus on post-launch. Considering that we have so much time still and he cannot even confirm a ranked mode at launch... Yeah very worrying for me.

You serious :/ I criticized you for complaining about not enough modes while we are 4 weeks in closed beta. I'm starting to think you're just trolling now, I should probably stop taking the bait.

Yeah maybe you should do that if you aren't able to read what i actually said over the span of the last few days. Only having one game mode now is only part of the overall concern about game modes. Would be helpful if you would get that tbh.

Is that what you mean? 2 pages of fighting about a ranking system not being implemented on launch, because of THAT ??? You gotta be kidding, right?

It surely is no bad sign that he cannot confirm a ranked mode 6 months before release. Sry but blizzard is very bad at adding features for their games, all the sc2 stuff they teasered wasn't ready for lotv release either. It's all about blizzard's recent history too. If there were no bad examples with other games i probably wouldn't be concerned at all, but that is simply far from the truth.

Blizzard is honest that they are not 100% sure it will make it for launch, but it will happen. Freak out about Blizzard not caring and there not being enough modes yet.

I wonder how many people its going to take to tell you how much of a whiney child you're being for you to stop clogging up this thread with your nonsense complaints Viper.

May the Lord have mercy on your soul. Peace.

Or maybe you simply attack people with strong opinions because that's the thing you enjoy, yep i think that's the case. I would imagine you simply would stfu sometime considering you always wanna be on the moral highground. I guess i wasn't so wrong before

It would take people i actually respect i guess. You guys are just clowns with no (strong) opinions about anything because "everything will be fine" Right now we actually are in the phase where it doesn't matter at all if i actually have points, nobody would agree with it regardless. I attack the game, you attack me, that's how it goes atm.

At this point its less about the complaints and more about him calling people names and sheep for not agreeing with him. And saying we have problems with people with "strong opinions". As if all opinions that are strong automatically have merit.
Edit: case and point above. We are clowns because we are not throwing a fit over a video game. And because he posts like an asshole and just calls people names, he says people "are attacking him rather than his points." Classic entitled gamer baby.

Ranked mode makes no sense for solo queueing in a game this team based.
Sure it may turn off the COD kiddies who are obsessed with prestiging over and over and over and over...again, but there's really no reason to have it for OW. Dedicated servers is something that they said (somewhere, I don't remember where) is in the cards, and servers can have their own ranking systems.
What does make sense is a killfeed, because I want to know just when and how my team is always fucking dead every time I get back to the front.

I "call you names" (damn so toxic, pls don't include stats for the game amiright) because you deserve it. All you do is playing the moral high ground, like a true internet clown. But you know what? I will do the same now, i peace out and won't ever post here again. Waste of time to the extreme.

Yes we are clowns with no strong points (lol as if any of your points were strong) because we tell you how unreasonable and childish you are being.
What you don't know is that I also have concerns about Overwatch, I also think certain things are missing that NEED to be added, but the difference between me and you I am actually willing to wait until release before I judge as I am sure a hell of a lot of things will be added by then but apparently that makes me a clown, great logic of yours.
How you have got to that amount of posts on TL I will never know.. oh yea probably by spamming useless shit. Genius.

Which is what we wanted like 5 pages ago.

... how is it anymore team oriented than any Moba...or CS?
People can solo carry in those games just as likely as in this one.
Your argument makes literally no sense to me.
Its a team focused game so you cant have a ranking system for individual players? Its like this in literally every moba and CSGO and noone seems to be under the delusion that solo rankings shouldnt exist because its a team game...

Ranked modes in team games are weird because you get people who are very good at one specific part of the game, but will lose tons of ranking if that is taken away. I don't think its useless, but people tend to overvalue as a "true measurement of skill". Its is a metric of being able to preform in any one part of the game really well. But it isn't holistic.
