How to theoretically boost most of the overwatch trophies.

[Wavergray]

Ever since overwatch’s trophy list was released a lot of people (including myself) have said the list is too luck based and maybe unboostable due to the Quick or Competitive Play condition. However, that may not be true. Based on what I heard about overwatch’s matchmaking it may be possible to boost with 12 people. Based on what I heard, overwatch’s matchmaking will try to match a pre-made group of 6 players with another pre-made group of 6 people. So if you can get 12 people together to boost the trophies you can theoretically get most of them in a few hours.

 

Here’s are some theoretical ways to get the trophies.

 

The Path Is Closed, The Car Wash, Huge Success, and Mine Sweeper:

Have everyone play as Symmetra and set up turrets everywhere. Once everyone has all 6 of their turrets up have everyone walk through others turrets while being hit by a Symmetra beam to get the Car Wash trophy. Then once everyone has their Teleporter set up 3 and have someone destroy them for the Path Is Closed trophy. After everyone has the other two trophies have someone set up a Teleporter and have their teammates die and use it, after it’s used up have the the players on the enemy team walk through the Teleporter makers turrets until they have a new Teleporter then just repeat until everyone has to trophy. After that’s done have everyone on one team set up turrets in a pile and have someone use Winston to destroy them for the Mine Sweeper trophy and repeat until everyone has the trophy.

 

Die Die Die... Die, Slice and Dice, It's High Noon, Death From Above, Target Rich Environment, Charge!, The Dragon Is Sated, Roadkill, Cold Snap, Raid Wipe, Did That Sting?, Game Over, Anger Management, The Power of Attraction, and Huge Rez:

Have one team with 5 Zenyattas and one Mercy, have the Zenyattas stand in one spot and just go down the list. Every time the 5 Zenyattas die have a Mercy Rez them. Repeat until everyone has the trophies.

 

Waste Not, Want Not, Rocket Man, Triple Threat, Simple Geometry, Armor Up!, Smooth as Silk, Storm, Earth and Fire, The Floor Is Lava, and Rapid Discord:

Just like above have one team of 6 Zenyattas and then go down the list. Repeat until everyone has the trophies.

 

Whoa There! And Giving You the Hook: Just have a McCree use his ultimate then go down the list.

 

Their Own Worst Enemy: Have a Genji get two Tracer down to half health then have them shoot at Genji while he is using Deflection.

 

Clearing the Area and Hog Wild: Just have two people stand near a ledge and go down the list.

 

Ice Blocked: Have one team with 6 Mei then have a D.va use her ultimate and have the Meis use their Ice Wall near the explosion.

 

Mine Like a Steel Trap: Have a Junkrat throw down a Concussion Mine near a Steel Trap then have someone on the enemy team walk towards the  Steel Trap while the Concussion Mine is behind them. Repeat until everyone has the trophy.

 

Shot Down: Have a D.va on one team block a Pharah’s ultimate from the other team. Repeat until everyone has the trophy.

 

I Am Your Shield: Have a Reinhardt on one team block a Bastion in turret mode attacks until the trophy pops. Repeat until everyone has the trophy.

 

Supersonic: D.va use her ultimate on a team then have a use Lúcio's Sound Barrier right before it blows up. Repeat until everyone has the trophy.

 

Total Recall: Just have both teams play as Tracer and just run around shooting each other and using Recall. As long as no one tries to kill anyone everyone should get the trophy in one match.

 

Special Delivery and Undying: Just have one Tracer run around and kill people until they have both trophies. Repeat until everyone has the trophies.

 

Power Overwhelming: Have a team of Zaryas stand in front of a team of Bastion in turret mode. Then have the Zaryas Shield each other from the Bastion’s attacks until the trophy pops. Repeat until everyone has the trophy.

 

The Iris Embraces You: Just like with Power Overwhelming have a team walk into a group of Bastions in turret mode while Zenyattas using Transcendence. Repeat until everyone has the trophy.

 

Lockdown, Double Cap, Escort Duty, Can't Touch This, and Shutout: Just have one team stay in their spawn room until the match is over. Repeat until everyone has the trophies.

 

That’s how I think most of these trophies can be theoretically boosted. All of this is based on how I’ve heard overwatch’s matchmaking works. If it doesn’t work that way then none of this is possible right now.

A much easier thing you can do for the trophies that aren't multikills is join a friend's game in progress. When you do that it puts you spectating then fills you into a slot when someone else leaves the game. So if you get put in a spot on the opposite team you can boost the trophies that only really require a 1 v 1

[Fastandslow]

My mate got banned for doing some of this i guess you can get reported but i dont know 

 

tbh most of them are easy if you play the class well

 

Pro tip for Lucio Rebind your controls X is not good for wall running i use L1 and then x is crossfade works so much better 

 

winstons is easy on Kings Row since now the meta is better people put more turrets down just be safe and have a mercy you should be fine

Good tip, I may try that later when I start hunting.

Freaking kidding me, seriously? Banned from Battle.Net thingy or whatever I assume am I right?

 

Well since this is Blizzard and there is a Warcraft cult following I assume a lot of people got this game because it says Blizzard on the cover so maybe a lot of them don't see boosting as a nice thing, I don't know, just guessing.

(While in other games, people are oblivious to boosting unless you seem like you may be cheating to win).

I've never understood the logic, they don't want people boosting. Yet you would only have a tiny fraction of boosters if they didn't put trophies that required online modes.

That's been one of my arguments against MP trophies. They actually hurt online gaming. If no online trophies, no boosting so you would have virtually only dedicated people there to play. You can still have leaderboards with a gazillion stats if they want.

[TehPsychedelic]

Yeah MP trophies suck and I think most of us think the same. As Blade mentions, you can always have the leaderboards and that's were the "Pros" aim towards while the rest of us just wanna see a little platinum pop up and that's it.

Seeing as this is a MP game well, there is no avoidance, but I agree some of the trophies could have been different or they should allow boosting.

Unfortunately, this seems like one of those instances were the devs closed the boosting doors Day-1 so we're SoL.

 

By the way Soultaker, this could work (thankfully you added the hyperlinks because otherwise it was a bit of a mess to read).

Long story short: This may work the same way say, Battlefront works. Pre-party of 6 people and try to find each other, or maybe even see if a 7th guy can join someone in the 6 people party and maybe he'll get into the other team. Something like that.

I assume once you could get boosters vs boosters then it's only a matter of committing to it, since thankfully you can continue to play against each other forever unless people quit and the game returns back to matchmaking.

With Battlefront I had success boosting trophies with about 10 good folks from here, but obviously it took like 6 hours straight

[HardXDXtraga]

I think this is getting a bit off topic but, if you fill a room with 12 boosters like you said, how is it hurting anyone? You have a lobby full of boosters so no legit players will have a bad experience, why would you get banned for that if you aren't getting in the way of other people enjoying the game?

My guess because of the stats in the leaderboards. Or they just don't like boosting period.

There is no leader board until ranked launches.

 

I'm not saying it is but most companies frown on boosting for whatever reason. You are creating artificial set ups to gain trophies. Now before you jump on me, I've boosted in games before and I don't really consider it a issue.(although I see no reason to boost this game if you are enjoying it ) However from a companies PoV yes its cheating the system and 'could' effect others playing. People often forget, serious trophy hunters are a very small percent of the PS nation..

 

Again. I'm not saying I support people been perma banned for it

As for all the whining about it been MP only trophies)or MP trophies in general..which again I agree on a tacked on MP, but this is not exactly tacked on). Um. Dur? its a MP game.

I can see more reason why a developer would have issue with this game cause is primarily a MP game. I more have a problem with games that are primarily a SP and the MP is added on as if it's an afar though. Such as Tomb Raider. Especially if it has crazy requirements.

Aye I agree with tacked on multiplayer since I'm not really into multiplayer games. Well there are obvious exceptions 

 

I still think the majority of OW trophies are got from just getting good and playing it. Ofc it helps to actually like the game   Some will be very situational but nothing impossible. Although I think lockdown is glitched but thats for another topic

[Mournblade05143]

But even in a primarily MP game I see the need for boosting if the trophy has some crazy requirement like kill X amount of players at once with a required action. You know if you are playing against skilled people and skilled people never group together like lambs to the slaughter.

Hell yes I know. Not sure how much you know about the classes in this game but I play D.Va the most. As much as possible. And getting 4 people with a bomb is tough as shit. I'm sure some people will go noob its easy because they lucked out/had a perfect situation or played against idiots and got it but for me I've had maybe one or two potential times in around 15-6 hours now of playing her. most people are clever/aware enough to move since it has a very obvious announcement and a long timer. Even dropping it from the air behind them they still scatter by instinct(however it is hilarious to do for the poor suckers who are thinking I don't see it lol). however its also better used as a area denial tactic so often I just don't have it charged for potential drops. However if I get a good Mei I know I could team up and combine them with her freeze. So its not impossible just luck maybe a situation or a good team combo. I'm fine with that though Ive had plenty of 3 player kills so just one more and done. 

 

But I also think the trophies come second by a long way for me in this game and honestly this game is not one to focus on trophies. I can't see it would be enjoyable at all but thats just me

Games like these aren't meant for trophy hunters anyway to be honest.

My mate put in diablo 3 and he was banned from that too so im not sure but he hasnt played diablo in weeks so who knows but its something to look out for

Here's mine:

 

 I agree it's situational and I got lucky they didn't move away but, that map is your best bet. I always see some multikills in that map/mode because the spawn is right behind their defend area.

 

And speaking of boosting, it just sucks if somebody boosted for these because legitimately this plat is a lot of hard work (trying to learn every character and then pull off some crazy shit) and then somebody boosting them like ez pz just  doesn't seem fair and it loses value. Note this is a 100% MP game, it's not the same as having to boost for TLOU MP trophies because they're stopping you from getting plat.

Nice I'll keep a eye out on that map. If I remember in all the dam fun

 

Another one, where I almost got it is a take and hold map with a tower in the middle. You can fly the bomb through a window and bail out before. Its going in my fail vids for the video thread since I bailed and fell off the map    But got 3 kills and a couple turrets so was so close. And was hilarious lol

Not everyone buys games just for trophies and not everyone has to boost them because they can't get them legit. 

 

It's their game, and you're ruining others' experience by boosting for trophies.

Not sure why you're jumping on me, I don't even own overwatch. If a small group of people is boosting trophies in their own lobby hurts your "gaming experience" I'd imagine you have more pressing concerns you need to have looked at. I don't care if people boost in online portions because they leave as soon as they're done.

Comes to a trophy website to cry about people boosting trophies EH WHAT?? HA 

[Prisoner_8490]

There's pairing 2 teams of 6 in one lobby, but you also have to consider the level/skill match making put in place in this game. I was actually doing fine with the trophies up to level 40....that's around the time I started seeing teams of 6 level 40-50+, and now trying for the "4 kills" or pretty much anything is hopeless. I'm still confident that with a really good Zarya on the team and even a cooperative Junkrat helping you with his traps to get "The floor is Lava", I mean, yeah, sure "give it time" as in months to years time if I ever get lucky with a terrible opposing team that DOESN'T immediately run to cover when they hear "Nerf This!" or "I've got you in my sights!". Besides even that, there's ones like "The path is closed" or "Destroy ten turrets/traps as Winston" where I'm definitely going to have to boost.

I get it, people will say "Just play and you'll get it naturally" and I honestly have to disagree for some of these. I've destroyed 2/3 teleporters several times, been at 9/10 turrets with Winston, but either the game ends right after, the person using the characters I need on the other team swaps and now my efforts are null and void, your team mates steals the kill/turrets/teleporter before you do(most common), or the character you need on the other team rage quits. To add salt to the wound I'm talking about these happenings being in 1 out of every 15-20 or so games if I'm LUCKY. This is also in addition to my now apparent "high skill rank" that puts me against teams(While I'm solo) who will coordinate if i so much as dare try to destroy 10 anything as Winston, and that's even if they don't switch their character while I have progress towards a trophy(Which they will by the 3rd-4th turret destroyed, or he'll have his team be prepared to gun you down when you try again which no amount of support can save you vs the time it takes to destroy a lv.2 turret).

Another thing people will say is just quite simply "Find a Team". Well I have already added about 20+ people from different sites for this game, and sure they'll help you(not for trophies, randoms on other sites couldn't care less). Even then they can't put up exactly 10 turrets for your Winston to destroy, they can't guarantee Reinhardt in Zarya's black hole ultimate just wont block D.Va's Self Destruct(Which is probably why I am most likely going to need to boost this one too) and they can't put up 3 teleporters for you to find behind enemy lines without any trouble whatsoever while it's still even up AND ensure the Symmetra on the other team doesn't instantly switch.

I know that with this site, there will eventually be boosting sessions for this game as with other trophy sites(sign me up!) but I also know Blizzard does indeed ban for boosting. I'd probably recommend playing normally until one person with an Ultimate who needs a trophy says so and it's then coordinated properly(on the objective of course ;D). Personally I'd only really ask for the teleporters, 10 turrets as Winston, and maybe the Zenyatta one with the orbs of discord.

[Tosmasta00]

Also one reason why people do boost is because it saves a lot of time and if you have a gaming backlog as huge as mine you tend to rather boost things than put 100 hours into something when you could be done way faster and put those 100 hours into some other game or games. (Just an example though.)

[Lord_Shadow_Z]

Overwatch is a game worth putting 100+ hours into though. Backlog be damned

[MinamalTypos]

Sigh, guess I will never plat this game then.

 

I have 56 percent of the trophies, and some of the rest I am looking at doing seem impossible.

 

Like their own worse enemy, Genji is a flanker who exceeds at 1 on 1. How the hell am I supposed to kill 2 people with one deflect? No one is that dumb, to stick close enough and to keep firing at me. Plus they also need to be at low health.

 

Then rapid discord, how the hell am I supposed to get 4 discord related take downs in 6 seconds? It requires me to see 4 enemies, then hope my team can take them down quickly, not to mention the travel time of the orb. 

 

Some of the 4 kills with ults might be possible with a Zarya on your team.

 

I would boost them, but if the banning is true, then I won't bother since I really enjoy playing this game with friends and getting slapped with a ban for a platinum is not worth it.
