The issue with this game isn’t that tilting causes people to lose and it’s hard to understand that you are responsible for nothing aside from your own gameplay, not your teammates, etc etc. It’s that even when you don’t tilt, and you do spend real time focusing on your positioning and call outs...

7 games played yesterday. One win, six losses. Five of those we had a player leave. The last loss the OTHER team had a player leave and we lost hanamura 6v5. Feels so fucking bad. Nothing makes a game worse than wanting to play and having literally next to no control in how my matches play out...

Outperforming in which way(s)? I'm not familiar with what Oversumo tracks.

Calling for a nerf on every ability that makes a character mobile is not a fix.

It must be hard on these young kids to get benched and replaced so early into their new “career”. Imagine how excited they must be learning they get to play in the big leagues, get paid well for it, and basically a month or so in you are already seeing signs of it not working out or going the...

4-6 in placements. 2482. Finished 2510 last season. All but one of those matches were awful. Even the wins. Hero picks are just wtf bad in gold rankings. I feel like I should be used to and accepting of this fact by now...

Is the sombra change live yet or still ptr?

Jake did one last night of Houston’s match against New York I think it was. You can really learn a lot from that kind of break down, but how much of that knowledge you can apply to an average ranked match is questionable since all the gameplay is so team-based and coordinated. Either way, I...

I never even fucking knew that was an ability Sombra had in the first place.

Good healing, like most things in this game, requires good positioning. The Mercy you saw flying around was doing so to position herself to heal her teammates and to escape from enemy players.

You’re an angry person, Booze.

No offense, but you’ve been playing the game for a few weeks right? You’re going to find yourself in the extreme minority regarding DVA ult. Get used to the maps more and you’ll find that hiding around the nearest corner once you hear the audio cue is very feasible. You can choose not to believe...

Just like...to play for funsies in ranked? Or to compete in contenders potentially?

Teams not playing/pushing aggresively is now my most hated thing in this game. We were attacking on numbani, I’m on DVA and trying to get people to push on to the point with me. I make the call I’m diving in, I take out the genii, torb turret, and orisa on my own. We’re up three picks and my...

Dva eats her heal bullets as well. Ana is in rough shape right now.

Bro, who you calling a slunt??!

I placed unusually low this season at 2100 and have climbed a bit over 400 points this season to hit plat last night. I’m normally bouncing back and forth between gold and plat, but I also typically place around 2450 so I’ve never had to actually climb to hit it before. Feels good to see the...

You guys ever play a match with a girl on the team who wasn’t playing Mercy? Yeah, me neither. What gives?

No hero is a hard carry. No one is carrying games consistently with the exception of extremely good players who get stuck on bad teams, e.g. a pro queueing and getting stuck with a bunch of masters early in the morning. But for all of us shitters on this board... there is no hero you can learn...

If Winston is jumping in and dying immediately and still has gold damage or elims then your dps actually do suck. I say this as someone who has been guilty of playing Winston like this in the past :P

There is no best tank to learn. The best tank is whichever tank you need to play against the enemy team. Actually, the best tank is the one that will suite your team’s play style. If you’re on Rein and you have a bunch of snipers or flanking heroes in your team and no one is pushing with you or...

Don’t bother. It’s easier to just snap it’s neck. Call it a day.

@Noodleface without really knowing anything it sounds like maybe a nerve issue relating to your neck. Do you experience any numbness or tingling in your hands/fingers?

Who the fuck wants their kid to fear them? This is a good thing? What?

I thought medals had no impact on SR gains?

It’s poor design from the ground up. Blizzard says that ideal gameplay is based upon teamwork and fluid hero picks. Those gameplay elements, by design and definition, are antithetical to one-tricking in most situations. Even if you get stuck with a one-trick who focuses on a hero that is less...

I played QP all day yesterday. Every single match had both teams using very viable, solid comps. People were making calls over voice comms. Matches were well balanced. It was fucking fun. I can’t think of the last time I had even back to back competitive matches that played out like that...

What do you guys think about being a filler? Do any of you have success filling whatever role (will almost always be tank or support) isn’t picked at the start of a match? I enjoy playing all roles, so I’ve been trying my best lately to simply fill, but I’m seeing wildly mixed results. its...

I’m functionally retarded. Can someone explain those zen changes to me? I can’t tell wtf is going on. Nm I see it now on the bottom right of the screen. That is a very nice change.

So I guess one-tricks are a bigger issue in higher ranks vs lower ranks? I play mid-gold and I can’t recall if it’s an issue in most of my games. I guess it’s hard to tell when a large majority of my games are the most backwards retarded comps imaginable.

I don't understand why the skill-based performance shit is only for diamond+ players. Platinum and below teams shouldn't be just as focused on winning? Or is this Blizzard admitting that platinum and below players are incapable of doing anything other than playing for themselves?

What time(s) of day are you playing?

It is very telling that most discussion about how to succeed in this game usually boils down to figuring out which hero you can carry with. There should be no appeal in having to solo carry in a team-based game. It's so apparent a large majority of players really have no true desire to work as a...

More like keep the zen and lose the Moira. Mercy/zen is a far stronger healing combo imo, unless the opposing team is really good at diving the zen.

I’ve had the opposite experience. Moira being picked in every game by people who have never play support and who have no intention of healing. Mercy is still really good, and I find myself wishing she was being played more especially when the other team has a mercy. Res is huge when the other...

What explains this game’s utterly soul-draining ranked games and community? How do you even fix this shit? I’ve never played a game with such an overwhelming amount of people whose only goal is to ruin the game for other people. I wonder if a scoreboard - showing kills, deaths, points capped...

Fuck all commercials. Don’t advertise at me, bro.

Gotta love the justification of exclusively playing a character that is less effective at helping a team win compared to other more well-rounded heroes because “fuck you, that’s why.” I wonder where all this one trick hate comes from.

*Every* show with a laugh track is unwatchable so long as you're paying attention to it. I vote The Wire. Season 2 was not disjointed. It was amazing AND has the the nicest boobs ever shown on a TV series ;)

I'm about done myself. Took about 24 hours but I'm taking it slowly and really exploring and trying to get all the achievements and stuff completed. I think I'm enjoying it more than the first game. My biggest criticism of the game is that the combat is not hard enough even on the highest...
