so only crackheads can get the red tag name?

[franklin]

when losing, your entire drive score almost resets. Despite the fascinating overwatch community players (10 minute session ana 1000 heal), there is pretty much no way to get this than to grind yourself into streaks of win, and if you lose one, its gone. Do i understand it right?

I just finished 4 Comp games and realized I had 0 Drive Poitns.

So basically to get even just the first red tag you need to win something like 4 games in a row?

Yeah lol I better find a group.

[GuyFawx]

i got mine in solo que as support you just gotta play your heart out its not too hard to hit the break points

Have you done your placements? You can't get drive until you've played the first 10 games to get your rank, because the drive gain is based on how much rank progress you get.

Yeah I finsihed my placements. I won, lost,lost, won so I thought I would ahve some Drive Points, but I didn't get any.

Well, regardless I already have the flashing red tag now so all good.

I got it for 4 wins in competitive mode and now I'm annoyed the whole game by this visual garbage in the form of a red stripe in the corner of the screen that can't be turned off.

Thank you very match, you save me!

You literally lose it at half the rate you gain. nice clown bait, no ones giving you points.

[baudreyrevermcfarland65]

I also have a lot of losses on my rating, and here I just got into a series of victories after a series of losses, which was enough to get the minimum icon, and then I haven’t played in this mode yet, because it became a long wait for the match to start.

Not necessarily. It's 5x the amount of SR you lost and 10x the amount of SR you won. Since comp is "rigged" (for lack of a better word) for you to de-rank and you gain less SR than what you lose unless you are in a massive win streak with winning trend, you'll lose a lot even at 5x.

From doing my full drive what I noticed that usually tends to happen is you need 3 wins per threshold. If you manage to maintain a winning streak, 5 wins gives you 2 level tresholds.
If you're reset to the minimum of the threshold you're at it'll always take 3 wins in a roll to complete it and you're sometimes allowed a defeat in between if you lose the minimum amount of SR due to team mismatch and stuff like that.

At least that's what I noticed. I've finished my drive already. It is not as fun as I thought it would be. Just adds another layer of anxiety to matches because there's yet another thing you'll lose if you lose a game.

i did a 17 win 5 lost the only thing i am missing is the last battletag effect (but i don't care).

My advice is to not tryhard during you placements match (or you do a 3/5 lose streak) and then you tryhard so you get easier games. (just to be clear i did not throw games i was only under-ranked)

This system is kinda bad beause it incentivise players to throw in order to gain the competitive drive easier,
I like the idea of gaining something for tryharding one time each season, but they should remove the loser penality.

edit: and don't stomp the enemy team, the mathmaking can see if the game is a stomp and increase your hiden MMR higher so never do more than necesary, make the enemy team think they have a chance

Exactly. The Drives system as it is right now emphasizes the broken matchmaker even further and rewards intentional deranking in order to get easier win streaks. It also completely undermines Blizzard's purported ideal of making losses feel less impactful and decrease toxicity.

They really showed their continued incompetency in developing mechanics for the game with this one.

exactly, thankfully it is an easy fix, but as i like to say, i prefer devs that try things than a stalemate, so i will keep my complain for the next patch.

[Mochan]

How often will they do the Drive events? I wanna know how long I get to keep my nice shiny red lighting tag.

oh wow
