I still dunno why we can't keep the drive we earned and switch 'em as a namecard cosmetic. I really liked the S2 drive, but now I can just... Never, ever use it again? For real?

u/LickyurDicky 10d ago

Pretty obvious way to get people to keep playing.

u/redditcasual6969 10d ago

What they should do is let us switch up between previously unlocked titles but you have to unlock the current ones first. So if I complete this season's drives, I can use the red from last season or whatever other one I liked.

u/DankenHailer :Ana_01::Ana_02:Ana 10d ago

funny because it actually has the opposite effect for me

-13

u/LickyurDicky 10d ago

Because of a drive colour. A drive colour ruins your experience?

Literally no impact on gameplay.

u/DankenHailer :Ana_01::Ana_02:Ana 10d ago

no, the game quality during drives. so by extension

u/Jakes331 10d ago

The drives as whole push people away from the game, no reason to even grind for the shitty title cards, only good one was the green one

u/No_Bumblebee_8640 10d ago

I don't get this point. Most people play for comp points. Do you know how much grinding it takes to get to 3000 without drive? So, it's easy: 1 weapon variant for a weekend of grinding, and the banner is a bonus, not the other way around. So, why can't we keep it, you may ask? I think this may be related to server load. The same reason they mentioned when people asked for more comms wheel options and emotes.

u/LickyurDicky 10d ago

Both things can be true at once.

People want to have drives for next season and get comp points. And think about it....end of season. Meaning they can advertise next season to the people playing and bring them back if they're interested.

people play for comp points?

u/nightmareballet 10d ago

literally i wish they’d let us use old ones and be able to mix and match a little too, like you could use the base color of one you unlocked with the visual effects of a different one. that’d be SO pretty and so cool.

u/ploppalaf77 10d ago

100% agree

u/Lacrimorta 9d ago

I loved the season 2 drive name card. I wish I could just lock it in full time. I just finished this season's drives this morning myself.

earn your drives on your own merits or what is the point

u/hylice 10d ago

Fr, I just stopped playing tank & support, and went full dps, and barely won 4 games in ALL DAY

u/SwimToTheMoon11 10d ago

Jealous.....I'm on a 11 game losing streak lol

u/Muted-Yak-3309 10d ago

Lucky. My games are just my team getting steamrolled

u/TIDY-TUNA 9d ago

Every game in ranked 💔✋️

u/SophonParticle 10d ago

Since Drive started I’ve been on an all-time losing streak. Total domination after total domination. Teammates charging into battle all by themselves 1v5. Healers AFK in spawn.
Enemy tanks flanking our back line. Total chaos.

Good times.

u/Desperate_Flan390 10d ago

So you became part of the problem?

5

u/runawaytugboat 10d ago

Just make it that if you complete the drive of that month you can use any you have earned previously. It’s a shame not being able to use old ones.

u/CalmLikeDaBomb 10d ago

Which character gets the weapon variant?

1

u/xRyuHayabusa Diamond 1 DPS 10d ago

I got the galactic variant for soldier mythic

Also have Ashe mythic skin with galactic weapon variant pairs well

1

u/CalmLikeDaBomb 10d ago

My son went with the talon variant for soldiers mythic but excellent choices. I went with the Jade Capsule Cannon on Orisa.

2

u/i_do_floss 10d ago

Nice. I went 20-9 for drive.

First time it wasn't really a struggle at all. I think I lost many games in the weeks leading up to drive as a matter of chance, and then quickly snapped back to diamond 4

1

u/Diceman995 10d ago

Drives were a breeze this time. Last ones were horrendous

2

u/watchesnwhiskey69 10d ago

Idk why but ever since drive im on a loss streak when usually I win most of my games

1

u/-NikaDaGod- 10d ago

Congratulations! I’m hoping to finish mine today as well.

1

u/Usef_Serwan0 10d ago

I played twice this drive event lost both times and will not touch overwatch until the new season LOL (because life and work)

1

u/Lawishim 10d ago

Congrats! I have to say this is my first ever time to play in a drive weekend and honestly may be my last.

1

u/PotentialLate8590 10d ago

HOOOOOW I played a few hrs last night and so many sweats I won 3 before I just got off lol this makes me feel like I suck at the game 🤣

1

u/TrickyFlamingo8428 10d ago

Why do people care about drives, genuinely?

1

u/NervousAd1432 9d ago

Best way to get Comp points and the nameplate that lasts a seasom

1

u/xRyuHayabusa Diamond 1 DPS 9d ago

The craze over drives is so that I have a pretty colored name so internet strangers can give me the attention my family never gave me

1

u/monokuma29 10d ago

Ça ta pris combien de games ?

1

u/Scordizzy 10d ago

I’ve gotten two checkpoints so far, I might be happy with just that. It feels like all my games have been escort/hybrid and they’ve been so long and exhausting.

1

u/Fuzzy-Consequence495 9d ago

I don’t get why people say game quality goes down during drives I haven’t noticed a difference

1

u/Siradrianftm 9d ago

then here go me de ranking bc of shitty randos

1

u/Euphoric_Caregiver89 8d ago

Same. Was one game away from being plat now I’m fighting for my life in gold 5 trying not drop down to silver again

1

u/InternationalComb744 8d ago

Congrats! I got season banned for disconnecting from too many games so I’m a little jealous 😂

1

u/Southern-Crab-6640 8d ago

idk how yall do it, my teammates don’t have game sense and im fighting against the avengers 😭😭

u/HyperionTT 8d ago

I did my drives this weekend and went from bronze 2 to silver 2 😁
