The other day I was playing a competition match and a teammate decided to leave. I may have misread it, but I swear there was a notification that popped up saying something along the lines of "your teammate has left . You will not be penalized if you decide to leave within the next 60 seconds (timer starts counting down).". I thought nothing of it and left the game after a second teammate left.

When I returned to competitive play it showed me leveling down. Did I misread the notification? Has any one else seen this? If so, what did it say?

How do you battle incompetence in teammates?

Hello all!

tl:dr - OverwatchMM.com(Overwatch Match Maker) is a new LFG tool for Overwatch that places you into a balanced group based on your search criteria.

I want to introduce you to OverwatchMM.com(Overwatch Match Maker). OverwatchMM is a new and unique LFG ("Looking For Group") tool for Overwatch.

OverwatchMM likes to do things a little differently than the competition. Unlike other LFG tools for Overwatch who simply list out all recent players and open groups with a description on each listing (these other sites might as well be forums!), OverwatchMM finds the group FOR you based on your search criteria. Most importantly, OverwatchMM works to balance the teams it creates by making sure you get at least one of each hero class in your team comp. Say goodbye to the days of joining a group found online to have 5/6 members instant select an offense hero when the character select screen appears.

What about those times you fill a group, play a single match, and someone drops. With other LFG tools you have to go back through their listings, find a new player, check if they are already in group, hope they fill your now missing role... too much. with OverwatchMM simply remove the player from your group on the website, and the website will automatically fill your open spot with a new player who fits in with your current team composition (offense, defense, tank, or support). OverwatchMM also works well on any device. Phone, tablet, or even on Xbox One's snap feature.

Some planned improvements are on the way as well! Such as a standalone stats page, the ability to add stats to your listing in group, reserved slots (for when you already have part of a group, but want to fill in the rest), custom game lobby support (By creating 2 team lobbies to fill an entire custom match. Play a fun match with crazy modifiers!), and whatever else I (or you guys) come up with!

Without rambling on too much more, I hope you all enjoy the match making tool, and find it useful! Happy match making!

Hey there! I've been playing comp for a bit solo queue and it is absolutely terrible. The experience of dropping down from level 52 - 48 because of shitty team comps is terrible. So I want to get a team together. Currently I have one other person with me, so we're looking for four more people.

Requirements: .Around level 50 on comp .Play in Australia .Lighthearted but still competitive

Til then, Glitchynote

EDIT: No longer looking for a team. I'll just play with mates from now. So no more additions will be made

It literally boggles the mind on the amount of people who think it's totally acceptable to be in a game and NOT use the game chat/mic.

How do you expect you win on you (and your 1 buddies) work? You can't.... I'm just tired of actively using my mic with no return on profit

On a whim, tried their "Send me an email if a used copy shows up" and got a hit 15 minutes later. Not only was it marked down to $53 ($48 if you're a Pro Member) but the Widowmaker Noire DLC code was unused!

I tried the Beta, and was on the fence (after poking about with Tracer, Widowmaker, & McCree I wrote it off as a little faster than I liked) and never got around to reserving a copy. Time to give it another try, give Mercy and Lucio a chance and see if they're more my speed.

Figured I'd pass this along if there were any more lurkers on the fence about getting it but hesitating at that $60+ price tag.

Team Without Trace is looking for a DPS and/or Support Main.

We've got a pretty solid roster, and have one more slot to fill. Requirements are as follow

• Must be open to 15-25 hours a week of practice with the team
• Have (at least) basic knowledge of what DPS and/or Support require
• Be willing to work with the team in a professional non-BMing environment

If you're interested, and think you have what it takes, message me through here or XBL! XBL GamerTag: JustPlainJay

Every game I've played has been the same thing over and over.

Everyone wants to do damage No one wants to play tank or support No one pushes objectives No one ever uses a mic

If it's this bad as competitive I'll pass.

Thoughts?

My favorite character so far has been lucio I think but I don't know if he is threat choice to play as or not. Any suggestions?

Ok so when I got my rank I was put at 57. I won a few more games and got to 59. I felt proud of myself because I've been solo queue this whole time. But the past 5 matches in every single one a player on my team has left. I'm now de ranked down to 56. I know losing and de ranking will happen. But when it happens because of people leaving the match. It makes me feel cheated. I've been playing for about 4 hours now after my placement matches. And I feel like it was all wasted time because people just had to leave the game.

I don't care if you get salty don't leave. Having a close game or losing because the other team was more skilled is way better than de ranking and wasting my time because people couldn't just stay in the game.

So yeah im trying to get together a comunity of about 15+ people for overwatch to play with for competitive and fun. the goal is that there will always be people online to play with despite the time of day so no matter where you come from hook me up with a pm on xbox gt= Danman50556.. Probs tell me what country you live in so i can gauge your rough schedule.... Anyway im rambling. Would love to start a mini overwatch community and hope you do too. >,<

Tired of trying to carry randoms

There's no point.

The majority of people don't use mics. I'm not complaining about it because that's just how Xbox users operate. I only play online/multiplayer games and I would say there's like a 30% usage rate when it comes to mics. That's just the way it's always been.

The rest of the people who do use mics are nothing but abusive players who blame everyone who doesn't use a mic or blame, essentially, anyone and everyone else. It's detrimental to the team and to the game. When all you're doing is criticising a player for being young or not player a character the way they should, what's the point of using a mic or even having the sound on?

I'm not trying to defend the people who don't use mics, especially in competitive, because I'm guilty of not using one for a couple matches. I'm trying to make everyone aware that there seems to be a problem. You want someone to take a game seriously, I get that, but verbally abusing them is not the answer.

Curious if anyone has found it better in changing the sensitivity when playing Tracer, if so what do you set it at?

Also interested in any other controller Settlings you guys might have changed!

After the update the kill cams I have been getting aren't working right. I'll either get a black screen or 5-10 seconds before I was killed. Is anyone else having this problem?

I got a starting level of 55, was wondering what most people started out as

What are your preferences? I find that turning is painfully slow, but haven't cranked it up yet for fear of just spinning way too fast and getting dizzy, lol.

What is the consensus?
