Got everything for my new PC except for the GPU. How do we feel about a PC building stream?

I don't think the ranking system is broken. I think it is just flawed in how it's presented. Blizzard even said that people will place a lot lower than their skill level in order to give everyone time to learn how things work with the new system and gameplay adjustments.

If you remember, in it took more than 7 wins to go up a tier even with no losses, because of how many SR points you were given. The same is true for , but it just doesn't show you the SR so you can win 7 or more games and not progress.

The 7 wins / 20 losses thing also seems a bit confusing. It's not that you go up a tier every 7 levels and down every 20. Your rank itself just gets updated. While there is no more publicly visible SR, it's still calculating it in the background.

From what I gathered, if you have not played comp the last few seasons of OR you never played at all, then you are automatically given bronze 5 in .

People that were high ranking in are now getting Bronze 5. Doesn't matter how well they do, if they win all 7 games, some groups of people are getting auto placed in 5 and aren't seeing progress after the next 7 wins.

It seems like playing comp on is a complete mess right now. Not so much for the server issue, but the way placements and ranking works now.

If you are stuck bouncing from 0 back to 2k+ or if keeps saying you can not log in and it boots you, close the game, close battle net, then make sure you EXIT battle net so it is not running in the background. Once you restart battle net and it should stop.

First off, try playing on the Asia server. A lot of times I've had no queue or very very short waits. Lots of people from all over the world are playing on there for right now.

As long as the heros can still be unlocked FOR FREE if you miss them in the battle pass it's fine. It gives something to work towards and spend money on that isn't game breaking. A lot of how they are doing the battle pass and credits seems like a big money grab tbh.

Now we've come to what seems to be a majority of people's complaints. Locking heros behind the battle pass. Honestly, I don't hate the idea AS LONG AS if we miss unlocking them we can do challenges to unlock them later like how the guns work in CoD.

Which brings me to battle pass rewards. Why aren't credits placed throughout the battle pass anyway? I mean if you went with my challenge method you wouldn't really need to, but adding them to the battle pass could be ANOTHER way to please the community as well.

Doing the credits like that makes more sense because it makes it easier to earn enough to either buy a nice skin every month and or possibly pay for the battle pass if you really grind it out like how CoD gives you enough CoD points in the battle pass to buy another.

I feel like there really needs to be a bit more currency generation from challenges. Even if it's just each of x type of daily/weekly challenge give 5 credits on top of the weekly milestones. Then for completing 11 challenges you earn the 60 + 55 = 115/week + daily rewards.

I especially don't like how you earn LESS free credits with the MORE challenges you complete. It doesn't make sense as a player or marketing. You want to encourage players to earn achievements and play more. Earning less for more games makes me not want to do them.

While I understand that cosmetics can be unlocked for free from the battle pass or paid for directly or with the upgraded battle pass. Most of those are going to be new cosmetics and it will be hard to unlock once you miss out on for both free and paid passes.

Getting rid of in place of the battle pass I can understand. With many governments calling loot boxes gabling and outlawing them, it's probably best to move away from that. The problem I have with that as a player is that I only see a way to ern 60 credits A WEEK.

looks and feels just like OW1 with some adjustments to abilities, new maps, new characters, etc. These things seem small in the grand scheme of things, so making it free was the best way not to p**s players off because it doesn't feel like it's worth another $60.

I'll get to the Hero thing in a bit. First I want to go over the free to play model itself. Not charging $60 for while completely ending OW1 is great for PR & allows more people to play than ever before. Especially carrying over cosmetics etc.

I think 's battle pass and new monetization strategy is a bit... meh. I've been working in marketing for years now and I'd like to take a look at this from a business standpoint as well as a player.

I used to main DVa back before her first rework when she was super aggressive. I was somewhere in the top 1% of DVa players world wide stat wise. DVa feels a lot like old DVa and I'm loving it! I'd like to see her matrix recharge a bit faster though.

Tanks like Roadhog feel more like supporting tanks that compliment a hard shield tank. I'll be curious to see where they find their place in team comps.

What I don't really care for is the 5 player 1 tank meta they are trying to establish. The reason I say this is that some of the tanks feel very unviable since they don't really have a way to block damage as well as others.

I love most of the hero changes. Especially Orisa. She may be my new main tank along with DVa. I really like her play style. None of the healers stood out to me that way though.
