Oh man that Ana nerf. Major sadface, I don't get it at all. Her "problem" is that she is too good at major target healing and that her grenade is too good in general. But is there really people out there thinking "Man that Ana is putting out way too much damage". I main her because well a)...

I don't play Mercy any more under any circumstances. While I don't think she's bad, Ana can do her job + contribute a ton to offensive situations in a way Mercy can't, specifically the 2+ grenade hit into the fray thats not eaten by rein/dva that ensures a swing. Also the whole Pharah counter...

Actually now that I think about it was even funnier. I said "so stay still then", he stops, bodies hit the floor, I say "not that still", we both laugh.

IDK but several times I've seen a "you're leaving early too much, you'll get penalized soon" message. Maybe only arcade?

The problem is there is a leaver penalty for non-comp games but its hard to tell when you get it or not since there's no warnings. So I guess wait it out or tab out or something.

Man it would be hilarious if it shakes out that both rein & orisa are mandatory as opposed to diversifying the meta.

yeah while this show is pretty great to watch has anything even happened in ep 3 & 4? Reminds me of mr. robot season 2. I guess we found out the dog is evil? Or something?

Gotta wonder if an E ability shield that you throw will be enough to reduce compulsory Reinhardt. Halt boops are def going to be a thing though.

only did like 8 placements but not seeing the bastion meta. Who gives a fuck if it holds E and doesn't move or shoot people? We'll see but haven't seen a fight change a lot due to him being a thing and seeing a lot of switches off of him after a couple rounds. Yeah I know day 1.

I see tons of lucio. Never seen a zen or if I have I wouldn't be able to tell probably. I just got my 1st one - ana - even though I'm not great with her but she's fun to play + 2 weapons.

Thats pretty great, were you placed in bronze? Hard to see how thats possible without a lot of bad luck.

Can't believe this is the same dude from the early seasons of Downton Abbey.

Man this game is swingy. I'm up 900 SR from my lowest point and still 700 SR below my highest.

Played a game on comp where a guy with battletag "tracerwaifu" instantly locks her obviously. I look at his profile and this season 30 hours on her, 38% win rate. Still won somehow but essentially didn't see her the whole game and might as well have been 5 v 6 from what I can tell. I tried...

Why not just cut off max sensitivity to what a reasonable person on a controller would have at max? Isn't that the whole problem, mouse on console would be able to move the screen much faster than what someone with a controller could handle?

Have you tried dropping mouse sensitivity/doing training drills/getting better hardware/etc?

hah this was in the middle of 1st round on comp (got A, lost B after this on volskaya) and yeah I'm in bronze after being in gold because I drink and play this game :D

eh its 2 things really, 1 is yes my "dps" isn't doing shit when I have 4 golds as a tank, other thing is other team is so bad they can't avoid some chick running around with a death beam killing them. Obviously medals don't matter but they at least show something.

Just bronze things =/

I don't understand the pricing of these at all. Why are Mei's so high? Do they do anything special? About to get my first gold gun and thinking about what to get. Probably Ana as she has 2 I guess. I'm getting very very bored of good but straightforward characters like Zenyatta and Soldier...

Man I had a terrible run last night and to troll people I started autolocking Mercy on round 1 non KOTH and on round 2 regardless of win or lose I autolock Soldier and say "someone else heal" which resulted in some interesting games when people get yanked out of their comfort zone.

yeah game is strange essentially rewards people who can aim way too much kinda is what I feel. I'm 3 drinks in and in my last game we have a solid 2 2 2 team on Ilios with me as Ana and I'm the only one trying to keep their pharah down and die a few times and lose 1. I say fuck it and go...

I don't think he needs anything. He's fine against a ton of matchups and if they switch to counter he can switch. I can't stand seeing him if I'm playing tank and we have non soldier/pharah as dps for the most part.

Junkrat is tier 1 in garbage ranks especially uphill from attackers i.e eichenwald.

Maybe its different at plat+ but here in the garbage ranks its striking how much the game becomes "does the enemy team have pharah or not, and if so, how are we dealing with it (if at all)".

I don't play QP at all any more but yeah it can take a loooot of time to figure out "hey this might be a good time to play mei/pharah/lucio/roadhog in this role on this map vs the other team's makeup". I solo queue comp 95% of the time and play mystery heroes when I don't want 15+ minute matches.

70 elim seems pretty nuts. I don't play reaper but a huge game is 55ish on soldier.

In that situation I would probably hold rockets for some time.

Great thing about this game is you can play some characters that don't rely on amazing reflexes/aim and still do pretty well if you understand the environment/audio clues decently i.e. hey I'm Ana and I hear footsteps and I'm about to get ganked by reaper so lets look for that.

I've literally gotten the first point and then switched to Symettra and AFK'ed/jiggled mouse for 3 minutes multiple times yesterday. :emoji_thumbsup:

CTF seems terrible. Its just torb/symettra jerk off until a draw.

Nutcracker Zenyatta is terrifying tho.

eh. I really enjoyed 1-7 so not all that surprising. Obviously the end was garbage but everyone loved True Detective S1 until the end as well so we'll see. Of course that show is not exactly well thought of at this point.

lmao I just did this move by accident and amazed my buddies in voice chat. Good times.

I was a raid leader in a cutting edge guild in vanilla wow so yeah the concepts behind understanding how to help people win at these games are definitely interesting. Usually I'll try to blame the other team to get people to do stuff like "Man that Pharah is destroying us, Junk can you switch...

I think the "if you lose its your fault" idea has a ton of merit but to be honest if you main support there's only so much you can do with reinhardts who charge into Anubis A etc. Which is why I don't main support any more - I'll play it if I have to but you'll make much more of a impact as a...

I've actually been enjoying solo queue bronze quite a bit. I don't think people take things too seriously and while there are toxic people you can almost certainly shut them up with "We're all bronze for a reason". Maybe I've been lucky but I've had several games (mostly KOTH) where we lose...

I've sadly replaced my HS time with Overwatch but the difference here is it won't cost me $100+ a year. Not sure why anyone would get into this game now.

so like general strategy discussion here since I've never played a pvp fps before: I'm playing soldier on capture in bronze, teams are pretty balanced. There's one dude playing tracer with a gold weap that is just all over us. Should I concentrate on keeping him down or just stick with the...
