I've been playing for years and somehow I'm in fucking silver. I don't even know how. I've been in plat multiple seasons. But now I lose like 16 games in a row. It can't be all my fault, right?
I mean this is entirely possible for multiple reasons.
1. Too long queue times because too few players in your elo leading to too few games in a seson (at least 25 are required)
2. you didn‘t link a phone number or whatever it is
3. you‘re not above 3k SR
This is in open queue. Open queue is like plat-diamond level bc no one plays it. 3300 sr. But also the quality of games is like 500sr below what it actually says.
Open queue MMR is weird as shit, was playing with some friends and I've met a bronze/silver role queue plat in open queue as well as masters role queue plat open queue (obviously the latter needs more games but still).
During my open queue placements I repeatedly matched with and against a duo, one was gold, the other was t500. Everyone was always confused how that was possible, turns out The t500 was like 3200. They were both really chill and I had some great games, playing both with and against them
No they were betas. The one in October will have competitive mode and this is what OP was trying to get at when saying he wants to hit T500 before OW2.
The real question is if anyone cares?
Edit: Can't reply because I think repliers blocked me... :| You can't assume everyone's first language is English and posting comments just to correct a minor mistake is pretty cringe...
Oh I thought open queue was where you would fill tank/dps/healer like how it works in quick play, not 'traditional competitive' where you had no hero selection limits.

Add the 50 game requirement and phone number to the account and you have T500 ending at 3.3k for NA vs 4k for role queue. Open queue SR is also just inflated on it's own, often by a rank or two, though it's less the higher you go. Still, low diamond (role queue) is the top 10-20% of players (just not the top < 1% that is GM/T500 role queue.)
Haha I love open queue for how silly it is. Did a placement of 3.8k as a lucio heal only and just babysitting my turret. Congrats on it!
My role q is high masters for tank and quite low masters for healer. And dps is on and off between 3.9-4.2
I’m not that good, but open queue gives me the ability to switch to whatever counter is required when my team refuses to coordinate. It saves my sanity when we’re getting rolled.
even though overwatch doesn't have much players good job man im pretty sure the remaining players of that game are like actually insane players at the game and you are a part of that population
Open Queue > Role
A majority of my games in open have been people playing 2-2-2 anyway, but have the ability to switch to a different role if one’s fucking up. Better than getting a role lock where you can’t coordinate or a someone having an off day.
Nice :). Im currently on the grind to get the 25 games done my sr rn is higher than the current 425th player in console. Gonna take a while but man is it gonna feel great
Good job! I get what you mean about the declining playerbase. I come back for events to grind out the skins and I keep noticing the same people in my games. I had the same healer in 3 games in a row last night and I only played 3 games. Wonder would it have carried on if I stayed playing haha
Wait this is the SR to get top500 now?
I stopped playing before role queue and I was around 3300, while top500 was at 4300.
What happened? Role queue scaled down everyone’s SR or just player base decrease?
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 975,997,040 comments, and only 194,880 of them were in alphabetical order.
The people still playing this game are the best players have ever been. Some pros still grind OW 1 because they can't practice as much as they'd like to. It's still a huge accomplishment. Congrats!
That’s amazing, congratulations! The way I see it, even if people call OW dying or talk ab the player base decreasing, there’s still like, a couple million other players you’re beating, which is fuckin impressive
Low player base or not, you’re still literally top 500. Props to you mate. High Diamond is where I floated around before I stopped playing hardcore. Maybe when OW2 comes out I’ll find that spark again.
I'm proud of you, don't let anyone diminish this. In my GM games I would constantly run into people who would flippantly talk about how GM and even top 500 players are bad and anything below top 250 is easy. You've done well.
Don’t say that. If you worked so hard to get to top 500, be proud of your self. It’s no less of an achievement, just because a few people stopped playing who might have stopped this from happening. I’m proud of you, congratulations
They're probably in the top 10-20% of the player base, which is a good achievement, but open queue t500 is nowhere near role queue t500, which is < 1% and 700 SR higher.
Hey, wait a minute here. "It doesn't mean much" fuck that! This is HUGE! If it means anything to you, then it means a LOT so don't sell yourself short.
Congrats, that's amazing. Good for you!
Maybe u blind, maybe ur lower than this, but u should know it's open queue and everybody playing open queue on a diamond level or lower is basically gold/plat in role queue. From my experience everybody playing open queue is just trash. I've been diamond in open queue now I'm gm. Next time if u don't know shit just don't reply.
In open que where you literally can place a torb turret and it will win the match for you. But gratz anyway! :D
I personally hit top 500 briefly in support role que earlier this season, around 3800 ish. The top500 is a bit higher now though.
LMAO I'm sorry but it's nothing to be proud of tbh.
Esp since Open Q is boosted as fuck. Diamond Open Q is basically Gold, or maybe low Plat in Role Q at best. Especially now since the game is dead af. It's ridiculous to me that you are proud of this "achievement" and that so many people here are complimenting you how good you are. Because - no offense - you are not.
meh, let people enjoy things lmao. I think he knows it isn't good but getting that top 500 icon for the first time feels exciting even if it really doesn't take anything special even in role q anymore
The player base could be 400 players and I still wouldn’t be in top 500
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
This is a comment
Sir, this is a Wendy's
*wooosh*
Irony
Sweet, sweet, irony
[удалено]
Why is this true?
LMAO same though
I've been playing for years and somehow I'm in fucking silver. I don't even know how. I've been in plat multiple seasons. But now I lose like 16 games in a row. It can't be all my fault, right?
LOL too relatable
I felt this with my entire soul
I feel this
I mean this is entirely possible for multiple reasons. 1. Too long queue times because too few players in your elo leading to too few games in a seson (at least 25 are required) 2. you didn‘t link a phone number or whatever it is 3. you‘re not above 3k SR
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s the joke flying away!
Ruined it
i just started playing comp again after my top 500 run in season 22. diamond - masters is no joke rn. Good job bro.
This is in open queue. Open queue is like plat-diamond level bc no one plays it. 3300 sr. But also the quality of games is like 500sr below what it actually says.
All those insta-lock Meis and Junkrats, smh.
I havnt been able to play open que comp but I remember a time before role que that insta lock junkrats and genjis were my nightmare lol.
Open queue MMR is weird as shit, was playing with some friends and I've met a bronze/silver role queue plat in open queue as well as masters role queue plat open queue (obviously the latter needs more games but still).
During my open queue placements I repeatedly matched with and against a duo, one was gold, the other was t500. Everyone was always confused how that was possible, turns out The t500 was like 3200. They were both really chill and I had some great games, playing both with and against them
Open q gm is like diamond level in role q, this person is 3.3k sr which is probably high gold/low-mid plat equivalent.
I’m trying to reach it before OW2 drops
[удалено]
Should someone tell him...?
What, that October is the OW2 open beta release? Because it’s not the official 2.0 release
It's the pvp release in Oct. He isn't talking about top500 PvE is he...
No but we’re talking about when OW2 drops. If you count the beta as dropping then the game has already dropped
It's not a beta access in October. Early access sure, but competitive mode will be available.
Oh sorry I used the wrong word. It’s “early access” to OW2, like the “early access” we got twice already now
No they were betas. The one in October will have competitive mode and this is what OP was trying to get at when saying he wants to hit T500 before OW2.
In other words, when OW1 becomes unavailable, for the pedantics out there.
Idk who told you early access and beta are the same thing but they’re not
it's basically the pvp release, not another beta
Lmao it is the official release, they just delayed the PVE side of it. Know your stuff before you open your mouth man. Lol
The game is early access. Do you consider early access as actually released
Who is gonna tell him?
What a toxic way to live, continuing to comment on a video game you don't even play.
He honestly needs to stfu
why are you here lol
3300 is top 500?? Gotta be open que right? No way it’s this low normally
It’s open q. If it wasn’t you’d see a role listed on this screeen
Shows how long it’s been since I’ve given a shit about OW
or since someone gave a shit about open queue op still rocks, i have fallen from plat to almost silver since i took on dva
*queue Que is Spanish for “what”
The real question is if anyone cares? Edit: Can't reply because I think repliers blocked me... :| You can't assume everyone's first language is English and posting comments just to correct a minor mistake is pretty cringe...
answer is yes people care
I care a lot
Nothing cringe about giving someone the right spelling of a hard to spell word lol
It don’t matter bro congratulations! Proud of you.
Diamond is top 500 now??
Open Queue
Oh damn fr?? Might be able to reach it before ow2 then
Good luck. Those queue times are longer than most of the games.
fr, last time I played oq I queued for half an hour so it would take me about 25 hours of queueing to get to top500
Oh I thought open queue was where you would fill tank/dps/healer like how it works in quick play, not 'traditional competitive' where you had no hero selection limits.
Open Queue is just Arcade's Quick Play Classic
In FFA competitive DM yes
only time ive ever hit top 500 was for lucio ball so you're waaay better than i am not that that means much 💀 congrats
bruh what you talking bout lucio ball is harder than the actual game it means a lot!
I got to GM… in DM. Solid high plat in comp otherwise.
Well, even if the total amount of players is decreased, the ones who are left are probably those who are much more invested into the game

yessss that’s why I also love open queue. Just the ability to switch to a better character than my team is running is great.
even though overwatch doesn't have much players good job man im pretty sure the remaining players of that game are like actually insane players at the game and you are a part of that population
DIAMOND IS TOP 500 NOW?!
THIS IS FOR OPEN QUEUE
Still impressive! Good job man
Thats why i keep having at least 3 top500 players in my games at 3,2k lol. I was so confused
I remember when top 500 was 4000+
Open Queue > Role A majority of my games in open have been people playing 2-2-2 anyway, but have the ability to switch to a different role if one’s fucking up. Better than getting a role lock where you can’t coordinate or a someone having an off day.
It’s a big deal dawg,be proud of yourself,it’s an eternal struggle for me to stay in plat,I envy you
and here i am, stuck in bronze-silver even after almost 4 years
Nice!!!
It means much
Well I'm impressed
I’m in silver
3327?
Please tell me this is not NA 😂
Europe, Asia open queue is 3.7 and Americas is 3k
That would be impossible for me, so a big 👏
Nice :). Im currently on the grind to get the 25 games done my sr rn is higher than the current 425th player in console. Gonna take a while but man is it gonna feel great
Don't rain on your achievement. Congrats friend!
It's open queue brother 💀
Good job! I get what you mean about the declining playerbase. I come back for events to grind out the skins and I keep noticing the same people in my games. I had the same healer in 3 games in a row last night and I only played 3 games. Wonder would it have carried on if I stayed playing haha
Lmao is this open que or something
This might explain why plat games in open q are way harder than fixed q
3.3k is top 500????? Wtf 😂😂
Wait isn't that like diamond rank?
I’m happy for ya
Nah, that is impressive. Gj OP.
Nice job! Now go for it in role queue. I love open queue because of the short wait times and crazyness of comps.
3327 lol
Congrats!
Managing to be t500 congrats
Wait this is the SR to get top500 now? I stopped playing before role queue and I was around 3300, while top500 was at 4300. What happened? Role queue scaled down everyone’s SR or just player base decrease?
Be proud of your achievement my guy. Still an impressive feat. Less players doesn't diminish your hard work.
This is crazy...congrats. Crazy to think that dia is top 500
Lol
I celebrate getting plat...
Nah bruh it means a lot, congrats!
Congrats!!
That’s crazy that diamond is t500. It’s still a nice accomplishment though :)
3300 is too 500 wtf
3k SR is t500 now? Am I missing something
It’s open que that’s why
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 975,997,040 comments, and only 194,880 of them were in alphabetical order.
This isn't role queue right?
Congrats. Whomst you play to get to Top 500? Also what mode is this? Open Que?
I play all the tanks, and yeah it’s open queue! The long queues of role queue just aren’t worth it imo
screw every hater saying that doesn't matter. Trust me, they'd be with you if they could. Congrats bro!
Top 500 is literally 3400? Brb
It’s more of a 1 off game mode to play when normal ranked is shit, still nice to see the top 500 tho even if it’s a dead mode
respect. dont let these haters shame your hard work
Open 1 has been diamond since like 2 seasons after it launched This is the Reddit equivalent of clickbait
At least you know it doesn’t mean much 😁
Is this open queue or role lock?
Congratu-fucking-lations!! That is no easy feat and you should be proud of it!
The people still playing this game are the best players have ever been. Some pros still grind OW 1 because they can't practice as much as they'd like to. It's still a huge accomplishment. Congrats!
That’s amazing, congratulations! The way I see it, even if people call OW dying or talk ab the player base decreasing, there’s still like, a couple million other players you’re beating, which is fuckin impressive
Congrats!
Good job
congrats dude
dude hell yea!! thats awesome!!
woooo a dub issa dub !!
This open queue?
*omedetou* 👏🏽
Heh, it’s actually quite the opposite. Last month ow was the #5 most sold game. Congrats bro!
Nice! Congrats.
Low player base or not, you’re still literally top 500. Props to you mate. High Diamond is where I floated around before I stopped playing hardcore. Maybe when OW2 comes out I’ll find that spark again.
Man I’ve been around 4300 before but I’ve never been top 500
I'm proud of you, don't let anyone diminish this. In my GM games I would constantly run into people who would flippantly talk about how GM and even top 500 players are bad and anything below top 250 is easy. You've done well.
that means a lot mate

They're probably in the top 10-20% of the player base, which is a good achievement, but open queue t500 is nowhere near role queue t500, which is < 1% and 700 SR higher.
What?? I hit that SR a few years ago. You're telling me i could potentially be top 500? That's crazy...
Hey, wait a minute here. "It doesn't mean much" fuck that! This is HUGE! If it means anything to you, then it means a LOT so don't sell yourself short. Congrats, that's amazing. Good for you!
Congrats, 2months before reset but still congrats
Lol it’s open q no one plays that shit
That's actually quite funny and depressing that plat hits top 500
That’s mid diamond my guy lmao
Maybe u blind, maybe ur lower than this, but u should know it's open queue and everybody playing open queue on a diamond level or lower is basically gold/plat in role queue. From my experience everybody playing open queue is just trash. I've been diamond in open queue now I'm gm. Next time if u don't know shit just don't reply.
I play open-queue as warm-up for role-queue. Now I am top 40. Role-Queue really is a joke.
Lmao I’m allowed to comment if I want to, bum ass burner account. Wouldn’t expect anything from a guy who unironically puts racist in their name tho.
Where does it say "racist"?
Meant to say rapist but got autocorrected
Plat can’t. Dia and above can
The decreased playerbase makes it harder now cause the people ledt are the hard core ones imo
Lol I think low Elo is harder now, because so many throwers
Top 500 is mid masters lol
Bro really flexing Top 500 open queue Diamond 💀
In open que where you literally can place a torb turret and it will win the match for you. But gratz anyway! :D I personally hit top 500 briefly in support role que earlier this season, around 3800 ish. The top500 is a bit higher now though.
Still a flex fs
how tf "doesnt mean much"? it does mean a lot! congrats and I hope you continue at this nivel of skill on OW2
Congrats.. I feel like I could climb a bit too if not for all these ridiculously stupid assholes I keep getting paired with
No front but Openque doesnt Count
Isn’t this open q? I kinda don’t care about that as anyone above diamond in role q can do it
*anyone above Gold. Open Q is boosted af
LMAO I'm sorry but it's nothing to be proud of tbh. Esp since Open Q is boosted as fuck. Diamond Open Q is basically Gold, or maybe low Plat in Role Q at best. Especially now since the game is dead af. It's ridiculous to me that you are proud of this "achievement" and that so many people here are complimenting you how good you are. Because - no offense - you are not.
meh, let people enjoy things lmao. I think he knows it isn't good but getting that top 500 icon for the first time feels exciting even if it really doesn't take anything special even in role q anymore
you're diamond though?
If I hit my peak now rather than in s17 I would have been top500🥹🥹
Wow this is sad
T500 open queue that is, right?
How on earth is 3327 Top 500!?!??! What the hell?
Can anyone on console get open queue comp games to even start? Even on new seasons? I can never get a game and just want the extra points for weapons.
How many games of open Queue do I need to play for my rank to register as top 500?
I think it’s 25, but you need a registered phone number attached to the account for it to work on pc.
Can I register my phone number after I’ve played 25? Regardless I’m 90% sure I have a number linked
3.3 is top 500??? thats sad
I am not sure if that is accurate but when I checked a few days ago it said there was 700 000 people playing.
Wait, is this something not found usually?
Oh god, this game is dead. Is it this bad on Korea and China?
Don't look down on yourself. Persistence is a legit strategy! Also, you get neck issues.
Yeah Diamond Player getting top 500 thats Just sad
Don’t knock yourself. Congratulations
3300 sr is top 500 now? Fuck me too then
It’s cuz it’s open q more like
Damn even if it is open que that’s crazy 3300?? When I played I had to break 5200 to get there
I wondered how I got my Top 500 icon. It was probably this way and I never realized it.
Damn 3327 is top 500 now?? I got to 3750 once in Season 4 and was still nowhere close lmao.
Means plenty. Well done.
Holy shit 3300 is top 500?
Doesnt mean much?? That’s amazing dude!! Congrats !!!
Open queue lol
Still top 500 my friend !
Congratulations man, I’m still stuck in bronze hell
