I usually hover around 3k on my main account, playing mostly Sym with some Mei thrown in for good measure.
On my alt account, I purposely played a little looser to group with friends and landed at around 2.2k.
Honestly, I don't really notice a pronounced difference between the ranks until you get to the bleeding edge in either direction by 1.5k or more SR.

I swear the community in this game is getting worse by the day.
So many leavers, so many people tilting in the spawn room because of other people's hero selection. So many throwers, or toxic behavior, it's ruining the game. The number of fun games is getting to be a minority of games now, or close to 50-50 good games vs bad games.
I had a fucking Mei walling us constantly, guy actually fucking ran back toward spawn to wall people in that had just died. We are about to make a push, and he split us up constantly. It was one of the worse game experience I've had in Overwatch, so frustrating.

I'll say it again, the idea that people want to play against all like-skilled players is retarded. You can have a competitive tournament thing separate from the fun part of the game, just like with CS. There's very few fun moments to be had when you're always about 50% away (unless rando people leave or afk or w/e).

Dude....... this happened to me a while ago and it's a daily reminder I was 1 win from Diamond lol (2980 is my career high).
I'm hovering at 2600 right now after being placed 2700, but I'm hardly playing the game anymore.
Played Junkerton for the 1st time last night, pretty cool map. One of my favorites I think. I like it a ton better than the moon base.

Not that they put out bad content or anything, but 100 people seems insane for what they DO put out. That's bigger than most in-development games have ever seen if you throw publisher teams and localization teams into the mix too, much less a released game that just is being updated and maintained. People joke about Diablo 3 updates being like 2 guys but if it takes 100 for OW, maybe it's still like 50+ for Diablo 3 after all

It does seem like a lot... especially with viewership declining, the rise of PUBG in the FPS space, I can't imagine OW numbers are holding steady enough to justify such a large team.Not that they put out bad content or anything, but 100 people seems insane for what they DO put out.

In the past 30 days, OW on Twitch is 8th in viewership...
Funnily.. Blizzard's most popular Twitch game continues to be Hearthstone... which if it had a team of 100 could probably be fucking amazing... but alas, the game lacks SO MANY desired features.

I think its a good metric, you disagree? OW 8th is still amazingly popular, im not saying it's trash tier at all, just there is some competition in the fps space and their numbers are probably not increasing very fast.... or at all. 100 person team to maintain a game seems kinda crazy. Pubg is still in development so kinda understandable.
