Stopped playing for 6 months, so compettive still pretty lame? Read the forums and saw people crying about aim bots still, seems like nothings changed. The arcade is super fun though, doomfist is neat but seems a bit too beefy for a dps. Tosses my soldier around like a rag doll

I haven't played in a couple months. It just isn't that deep of a game and I don't enjoy any of the characters that no one else enjoys (supports, tanks) so why bother? At least in League I can pick a role to queue for, or PUBG I can just hop in and not care. Going to give Lawbreakers a shot because free but I suspect in the long run it might run into the same problems

Ive also stopped for some time. Felt like diamond was my solo limit and whilst I could possibly have ground out masters with a very small winrate over a huge number of games, that just didn't appeal to me all that much and the community was a large part of it.
I have to admit im also burned out on elo ladder systems at the minute. I come from the days of quakeworld and remember when elo wasn't a thing. The public servers were a total clusterfuck, but it was *fun*. Some days you'd be the pubstompers, other days some players would stomp you, but it felt a lot more non-repetitive because of the diverse range of people on any server. Was pretty good too because public servers were the only option outside of organised clan competition so you had the vast majority of people trying hard in a non-serious setting, it was great. Its fucking amazing to me when I think back to CTF servers, how organised and competitive the games were when all people were competing for was to win the match itself, compared to just how awful competitive is in OW, and how absolutely unplayable QM is. Then for serious competition back-in-the day you had clan tournaments and that's where reputations were made, and hey since you were actually part of a team you didn't have some fucking toblerone sitting in spawn building turrets all game because he got killed once, or the constant verbal abuse dispensed to team mates because THEYRE YOURE FUCKING TEAM MATES and you want to win right?
Its too late for overwatch, but any fps I play in future id rather had no elo ladder systems at all, but facilitated and encouraged clans to form and compete.

yeah think I'm done here. Solo queue, 2 stack locks 2 DPS after I instalock tracer as thats what I feel like doing it was a good map for her. One of them asks me to switch on voice. I say "well she's my best character, I have over 60% wr over a lot of hours". He says "I didn't ask about your winrate". I mute him and we lose. I'll be back when you can queue into roles, maybe.

Best gaming times I ever had were Q2 CTF. My pickup team in college was top-ranked in the OGL for a while.
I just can't stomach OW any more. I like the game by itself, but the fact that only maybe one in three games has non-mouthbreathers actually trying to win just kills the fun (and this is at diamond).

It's probably been obvious to people, but it just dawned on me today while listening to De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da by The Police that Zenyatta and his teacher Mondatta were named after the album that song came from Zenyatta Mondatta. I've owned that album since the 80's in various format and never made the connection.
