Competitive mode finally arrived for Overwatch last week, much to the joy of players everywhere. However, in some that joy quickly turned to irritation when issues that hadn't been prevalent within the PTR build began to have a knock-on effect on their enjoyment.
The first was that MMR points weren't being awarded equally for Control maps, as they had been for Assault, Escort or Hybrid. Blizzard already issued a fix on Thursday for that one having quickly tracked down the issue behind it, but now more have begun to surface.
Another fairly large one concerns players who might have issues with their network connections during competitive play still receiving the Loss punishment, even if they managed to return to the match within the one-minute timeout window allocated for players with such problems. Obviously, this has not gone down well.
Responding to fans who were asking whether they could expect a fix soon, Game Director Jeff Kaplan said that they were working on it and that they should "have some fixes coming (hopefully) next week."
Also on the cards is a new and fairer way to settle draws, as opposed to the current "Coin Flip" Sudden Death decision-maker which is considered contentious right now by the playerbase.
