Played my first competitive game where a teammate left.
So you're forced to take the loss and rank down? Why the hell doesn't the match become unscored if players leave?
91st percentile, so you're around rank 59, right?

Hey guys what did I mi-
what the shit
For the tracked rank distribution on PSN on overbuff, you are in the 91st percentile

It means you are in the 91st percentile, or the top 9% percent. 91 is a very good place to be, that's exactly where I am with Roadhog and I'm pretty happy about it.

So huh....best rank is at 100 or at 1, I am clueless if I am being deranked or raking up
You don't get LEAVER penalty. You still take the loss and loss of rank points but it doesn't count against you for timeout/comp ban for leaving too many games. The popup could use better wording IMO.
Higher is better
Being in the top 10% of players on PSN is good, yeah.

You won't get the leaver penalty.
You still get the loss which does indeed hurt your rank.
Could be wrong, but I think it says you can leave without penalty but it counts as a loss, which means you don't get flagged as a leaver, but it still counts as a loss and will hurt your rank.

Woot but still is a lost right?, that explain a lost point on my placements...
it says that after the 60 second warning ends
but in the first 60 seconds it doesnt mention counting as a loss

The more videos I see of this game, the more I want to play it. But it is holding me back that I play FPS with a controller and I would buying this one on PC (I do not want to pay for PS+). I do not think I can get used to playing with keyboard and mouse (I have been playing Bloodlines for a while and still I suck at playing with K+M), it is really uncomfortable for me.
They are going to tear me apart, right?

I think you misread. The first 60 seconds is the timeframe that the person can rejoin the match. If you leave during that period you will incur leaver penalty. You're supposed to wait 60 seconds then leave if they don't return.
Yes, leaving an in-progress game for any reason is always a loss. (Even if you rejoin which is dumb)

Yeah, unfortunately.
At a lower level (people with like 3 hours or less) you might be able to manage
Higher up, RIP

Yes. The first person that leaves a game, they get a leaver penalty and a loss.
If anyone else from that team leaves, they get a loss, but not the leaver penalty.
The problem with the system right now is that it doesn't really make it worth it to stay around and try to win 5 v 6

Just get it for fun, if you are the competitive type, yeah it will be real hard knocks for you
after trying both, I've found click to heal made me feel complacent and not paying 100 attention to what I should be
I prefer toggle. You used to be able to hold then click both to switch beams but it is bugged now so toggle is superior IMO. Once the bug is fixed hold might be slightly better but I like toggle for comfort
I have a dream that when we get to OT4 all the salty people will stop playing and we can have some nice discussions going here. Reading this thread is a truly miserable experience with all the negativity.
I must be playing a different game, because competitive is really fun and I'm not even 6-stacking this stuff. Also double Reaper? Give that to me any day, I'll just go Pharah and laugh all the way to the bank.

Uuuuh, that sucks. I do want to play it, but being a burden for the rest of the team Sigh, I think I will pass on this one. Thanks.

There are some classes that don't need fine mouse aiming like Winston and Symmetra, but yeah, most classes would be much harder to play. The Torbjorn turret damage was nerfed by 30% on console because controllers are much slower in reacting to the turret compared to the mouse.

Playing comp is hella draining. Like after 1 or 2 games I'm done. Very stressful to play. Its really fun, but not something I can keep up for a while.
I got a rank of 62 then dropped to 59 in the span of 30 minutes lol. 89th percentile.
Hope that's at least good.

Not a burden persay, but the thing with this game is you will have to invest time, thing is the more time extends, new players will have a higher hill to climb if you get my analogy
If you can invest time and are OK with a fluctuating skill base, why not
The game has characters that you will fall in love with, not just aesthetic wise but gameplay that really flows with said character
Listen if you're getting this for PC, drop $40 for reg edition unless you're really jonesing for 5 extra skins for the game and other Blizzard entries for the extra $20
Then just pull the trigger on Quick Play and Start learning
There will be days you'll do shit to make you feel like the best, then the next day like you forgot what the "W" key does

Sudden rules are Trimble . It's an auto loss as attack
should just play another round instead

Question, is that a truly skill-based ranking, or is it points based? I know people who put it a lot of time are generally better than those who haven't, but does Overbuff rank people by the sheer amount of points they've accumulated, or by some other metric?
It's basing it off of the skill rating which you get from playing competitive.
For individual heroes it's based on an arbitrary algorithm that takes into account your hero stats relative to the rest of the player pool

Quick play queue has been giving me relatively decent games today. 5/4 in win losses. Not too many complete stomps either way and not too many leavers.

Hasn't happened in the LoL thread and look how many threads in they are.
The salt is a part of the game. Embrace it, friends.

So is the kill cam worse for everyone now? Instead of how it was before it no pauses at a black screen for a second then kind of wipes in the footage instead of just showing it. And the stuff between rounds in koth, instead of it naturally fading into the next location there is a hard cut where you see you jump from one map to the next because it does the silly esports score recap thing.
As long as the concepts of winning and losing exist so will "salt", especially when 6 losses in a row means you're back 5 ranks from where you started.

I'm guessing you're quite high ranked then? Because my experience, along with a lot of other people's below rank 50, is that it's awful.

I don't get people who defend torb and claim that he is very usable in pubs. I just ran into a level 50-80 people in quick play who ran through our silly torb+symmetra team easily. I was the only person on point with Reinhardt, and I took out Tracer, Soldier-76 and almost killed Reaper if he didn't have backup; the other team's D.Va immediately flew to Torb and rekt him. This happens a lot than people think.

Not that guy, but at rank 62 comp is pretty fun. The only bad part is the coinflip, otherwise people are pretty cooperative and trying their best in my experience.

Having fun with the game doesn't mean you can't acknowledge the flaws and broken things in competitive.
the penalty for leaving is not high enough, it should be massive
we were actually winning and some dick hole decided to leave on our team. then when the timer ran down everyone else left. like what a waste of time out of shits. if you can't set away time to do competitive then stick to quick
fuck bring me back avoid player
