Medals Ruin Overwatch and are (one of many) causes for Toxicity!

Except no?
3 players are on DPS, but you need another healer.
Who should switch?
Probably one of the guys who doesn't have all 3 offensive golds?

Have you really suggested someone change based on their medals? Yet another reason they should be removed.

Are you suggesting that the person who is performing best in their role should switch?

I'm getting the feeling you haven't watched the video. Especially since you are using the example of medals to gauge how well an individual is doing. Which I spoke on. I couldn't count the amount of times that I have had gold medals on widow maker and i'm a terrible widow.
They are not an accurate gauge of how good you are or how well you are doing. They can give you a general idea but it's more harmful than anything.

I wanted to simply make a post about this, but I decided it would be much easier to put into video form.
I personally believe that removing this medal system would have a massive impact on the Overwatch Community as a whole.
We have all been in a game before where the amount of medals someone has has been thrown in everyone faces needlessly.
I think this very simple change would only benefit everyone!
