    2 x Winston, 2 x Tracer, 2 x Lucio vs 2 x Winston, Tracer, Reaper, 2 x Lucio...yeah everything is perfectly balanced. Man, Seagull on that Bastion with his ultimate, rocket jumping all over the place was hilarious.

    Don't get me wrong, I enjoying the competitive games for the most part, but seriously stop putting pre-made of 4 against pugs. It just sucks...and it happens way too frequently. I don't mind pre-made of 2, but not 4 against none. And seriously why the fuck is facing 2 pre-made of 3 against 6...

    I totally agree that competitive is vastly more fun than quick play even with the issues. It does a far and I mean a far better job of putting you against people of your skill level. Also for the most part people are trying harder to get good group composition and work together.

    Well terrible evening in competitive...went 4-4 which I can live with to be honest...but 3 of my 4 wins had leavers so made almost no xp, and lost full on my 4 lost so lost like 2 levels or so for being 50% win rate. They need to fix this really badly, the winning team should not be penalized...

    Yeah, that happens to me a lot. Yesterday on Hannamura A like you mentioned, I went around the left side. I had a Pharah, McCree, and Mercy on me...I lived like maybe 15 seconds only, and only killed the McCree...but when I respawned, and was running back...my team capped the point, so I felt I...

    They need to reevaluate how they deal with leavers for those who stay...right now 11 people get fucked. The losers lose normal rank xp, the winners barely get any rank xp, and if you manage to win with just 5 anyways...you barely get xp. Also, today I had the horrible bad luck of grouping on...

    So started playing Genji today in Quick Play, I won't try him in Competitive yet. I still kinda suck with him. I had this Play of the Game on Route 66 on Offense, this is at the end point, in Overtime.

    Well a rock and roll day, started at 42, went down to 37, and then back up to 41. It's some of the best games I've played. I'm guessing this is really where I belong skill wise. I had 3 KotH tonight that went to 5 games, with the last one we lost the point to 0-79, then took it over for the...

    The money on a lot of those deals isn't that bad, but fuck the terms are horrible for the age of some of these guys. Lucic doesn't have 7 good years left in his body. 3, maybe 4 max.

    Well this was sort of a bad day, I am down from 42 to 38...started after placement at 46 went to 47, then down all the way to 37. Last 10 games or so move between 38-39. The positive thing about this, is that while I officially suck at the game. The game at this rating are essentially some of...

    Oh and 1 quick question. I see who is grouped for the opposing faction...every single one of my matches tonight were against pre-mades...only of 2-4...not full pre-mades though, and almost all my games in competitive have been against pre-mades, but I have never been put in a group that had...

    It seems actual individual performance is worth close to nothing in the way they calculate the rank gain or loss after a match, and even the actual score of the match doesn't seem to matter. I lost a payload that went into sudden death, both matches were close. I performed well, had 2 gold...

    Well sometimes you just have a bad night, 1-5, lost 3 levels down to 42.

    That bug explains a lot. The movement in ratings I saw yesterday can probably be explained by the KotH games. I guess we need to avoid Competitive until this is fixed since a 50% win rate evening where you win KotH and loses on payloads will result in a massive rating loss.

    Yeah, it's moving strangely. 1 win and went from 44 to 45, almost 46.

    Well I started at 46, 2 wins took me to 3/4 into 47, then 3 loses down to 44.

    That's kinda sad, 2 gold medal objective kills, and objective time, 2silver for elimination and damage. Lost King's Row 3-1 I think(not sure exactly) and still lost 3/4 of a level...so even a good performance doesn't seem to matter...win-loss seems to be most of the rating. Or I can only imagine...

    The Hall and Subban are very similar I think in that I believe they were done to change the atmosphere in the room. Both players are rumored to have been problems in the room. I guess both GM want a change in mentality.

    I'm also impressed by what they've done so far. I thought this project would died by now. The environment look pretty decent. Models and animation are not very good. Watching people play an MMO is never really exciting, and Pantheon is no exception...actually it ranks pretty at the bottom...

    Yeah a 6 man pre-made vs a 6 solo team is ridiculous for Competitive. Since there is nothing competitive about that. Fuck it would be like putting a Heavyweight boxer against a Lightweight boxer because you can't find him an opponent in his own weight class. It's just fucking stupid for...

    I went 5-5 with 46 Rating all solo, was never in a team with premades, about 4 or 5 of my games were against premades, mostly 2-3, and 1 of 5...which strangely we won being 6 solo. Competitive has at least one thing over quick play, matches are longer...don't feel like I'm waiting half the...

    I've had similar experience. I personally think a HUGE amount of casual are no longer playing, and we're simply getting matched more and more with hardcore players. One reason I think the player base is shrinking a lot is an experience I had last week. There is a player named Val which I...

    I haven't played in a few days(3 or 4) since quick play was getting to be no fun for me for reasons I've mentioned before...long queues, getting into a game into a game in progress too often, short games with either side steamrolling the others, etc... I was also extremely disappointed by...

    Seriously fuck this shit...group has 2 Mercy. Neither is healing, 1 is damage boosting the other while she's trying to kill people with her gun. 3 times trying to find a game, twice over 2 minutes and other over 1 1/2 min...only to get that kind of BS.

    This game is getting less and less fun pugging. For one thing, I would say that 90% of the game easily are steamrolled, one way or the other...I rarely end up playing in even matches, it always seem to be one side owning the other one. Happens that's it me as often as not, so it's not like...

    I played some more PTR, after my 10 preparation match, I was assigned a rating of 47. I was 6-4 in the matches. Experience was much more positive today then yesterday. People were nice, although people were making sure(politely) that we had all roles covered when we didn't. No one was angry...

    I saw a video of a Symmetra player trolling his own team by putting his teleporter on the edge of a cliff, and waiting there to see them fall to their death when they used the teleporter. And to top it off, and I have to give him extra points for this part...he was actually giving everyone a...

    Well just for fun, I downloaded the PTR and tried competitive... Just played 2 matches, and it's probably not gonna representative of the live version as I am guessing it's mostly hardcore on the PTR. The experience was not fun at all. First, unlike quick play...people bitch in group if...

    I switched to low sensitivity early on in Overwatch. I was terrible at aiming, and was looking at tips to improve. So I am now at 1600DPI with 6 sensitivity in game. It helped tons with my aiming, of course it makes turning around a little harder, but I found the gain in aiming more than...

    Yeah queueing seems to take longer, but for some reason today I kept being put in groups with level 10-30 instead of high 70+ like usual. I did end up with like a 10-2 win rate though, so it's good I guess.

    Torb's turrets are in a strange place, they overpowered in pugs, people cannot deal with them. In organized play they can be very powerful if well positioned and supported by the group, but usually can be dealt with somewhat easily. I still think they need a nerf of some kind though...instant...

    I agree, I find usually that 3-4 seems to be the sweet spot where I get the best win rates. I guess it depends on what people will want out of competitive. If it's rank at high as possible, then yeah probably group of 3-4 would be best. It also mean not playing with some people who might not...

    I'm not disagreeing with you, but I don't think the goal is to compete at the highest level, against Cloud9 and other pro team, but to be able to have fun reaching whatever rank we can as a group. How well we can do, and how much fun we can have will be highly dependent on what the competitive...

    We talked about it before I left, and I'm definitely up for that. It's the thing we're missing to be more competitive. I think skill wise, we're never really going to compete with the best players, but honesty I feel that skills might not be the biggest difference maker. It's gonna be more...
