​Overwatch has been one of the most successful competitive first person shooters of all time. People naturally gravitated to the well designed and wildly different characters to take to the battlefield and duel it out in 6v6 play. Recently, it has felt as though the game has stagnated, especially in ranked play. This is where a clan system would really help Overwatch.





A clan system would allow players to find others that they match well with and climb the ranks.

2 leavers, 1 thrower, so that's already down roughly 75 SR, and fucking all the other losses are on shit team compositions. Why the HELL does Overwatch not have a clan system? That would make life SOOOOOOOO much easier. — Big Dog Jericho (@BigJerichool222) February 12, 2018

Many a Reddit thread has been written about how it is more enjoyable to watch the extremely popular Overwatch League rather than playing the game itself. This is because the OWL gives fans a glimpse of the potential that Overwatch has as a team based shooter.





When all of the players roles complement each other and the communication is solid, players can do some pretty incredible things in the game. Things that we usually don't see in solo queue.





Now a clan system would not make everyone an Overwatch pro. Pros have the benefit of being extremely talented at the game and playing with others who are talented as well. But what it would do is allow players to find others of a similar skill level to compliment their own role.





So rather than hope that the random person you are matched with can play a healer, you can actually know what everyone likes to do going into the game.

The clan system would also help out with the frequent leavers and griefers found in Overwatch. That sort of behavior simply would not fly in most clans, and those players would soon find themselves without anyone to play with. Clans would not erase the problem, but they would give players a way to be proactive in dealing with those toxic players.





As mentioned before, Overwatch is a brilliant team game. But the fact that players get so little time to actually coordinate with their team before going into the game can make it extremely frustrating.





A clan system would go a long way to helping make Overwatch live up to its potential for every player.
