Comment Overwatch competitive ego boost (Score 2) 163
I used to play Overwatch competitive. For the first few seasons, when you completed each season's 10 placement matches, they placed you a few hundred Skill Rating (SR) points lower than they estimated. I suspect they figured you'd be more likely to stick around if you got to club seals for a few games. In hindsight, it cheapened the experience of a few games where I played incredible, and makes you wonder exactly how much you're being psychologically manipulated when you play the next Blizzard game.
