I was just stating that I've played with a handful of diamond guys at this point, not that I'm in, or close to diamond. The mic question was in regards to climbing without mic. I never considered it much of an issue at 2000, but I'm wondering if/when it eventually becomes one.

I'm worried that I may be reaching a level of play where I actually need to un-mute all my of teammates. I've been running 100% mute for the last few weeks and it's made the game a lot more fun for me. Anyone know of people who play this way into diamond and masters?

You mention Velk being 1 grouped late in game, but isn't that making the assumption that people have gear from the raids that you've removed? The glory days of difficult and satisfying group content would be hard to reproduce in an emulator. I've found it's mostly a function of not having very...

Woot. Just finished my placements and landed at 2615. Surely beats my season high on my other account of 1905. It'll be an interesting experiment to see if I can hang/progress at this level. I've played against a handful of Diamond guys and mechanically I'm not seeing an incredible difference...

Yeah, I've been playing Rein as well. Problem is moreso that I can follow the positioning set by a good Rein, but knowing where to position the team effectively at any given time in Rein is more challenging.

I'm not even sure what to do with myself right now. I've started placements on my smurf account and after 2 games I'm playing with diamond players. I tried to play skill classes in one of the matches, but frankly my accuracy etc doesn't hold a candle to these guys. I've just defaulted into...

Having a smurf acct makes this game so much more fun

I think nearly all of NTOV outside of Vyemm and Vulak were done without heals or pots. I'll give Vulak a try later today with just pots and let you know how it goes ;) The no heal comment was more of a function of the DPS; most of these were fights that only lasted maybe 2 minutes or so.

I think I'm going to just keep chugging with the Wiz until I hit whatever that wall is. Becoming another War Shaman Rog/Monk/Zerk combo just seems really boring to me. Edit- Hit 65 on all boxes (War Dru Wiz) with between 550-350aa on all. Seriously flattening Velious bosses without even...

It's pretty crazy how much DPS my wizard box does with basically no gear. Maybe it's just because I haven't had a true DPS box prior, but these 10k crits at 60 are devastating.

Haha, I tried doing exactly that but without a DPS box, he was just hovering around 96% and it wasn't going anywhere.

The Hole is insane exp now. Getting like 5-6 AA a pull using my Earthshaker to clear out the temple on my war. Cleared all of NTOV last night with my level 60 War Cle Shaman combo, but Vulak ate me alive. Going to beef these guys up a bit with AA's and give it a try later on this week.

Boxes all 60 now, have most of the 65 quest done. Been a fun ride so far. Phara Dar was a pain in the ass, but otherwise not so bad.

The out of era cleric ward spells at 50 and 57 are insanely OP here. My cleric just gathering mobs significantly out damages the rest of my group combined.

Been chugging along here, mid 50s on all boxes and really enjoying the survivability of the combo so far. Haven't really died at all this entire run and the DPS seems fine.

Anyone have some twink stuff lying around? I went warrior shaman cleric here. Wanted enough staying power to be able to easily clear whatever I wanted.

Random question - do all boxes have the same % chance of dropping the christmas skins? I've been messing around on a smurf account that I get way more boxes on because it's lower level. Are these the same drop % as the higher level boxes?

Symmetra feels pretty retarded with these changes. My team of Sym, Hanzo, Mei, Zen, D'Va and Pharah completely stoned a meta comp on defense, and these guys were all fairly to very bad players. The shield gen just makes everyone so tanky, and Pharah especially is really hard to take down with...

Played one game on my smurf and got mei skin. yeee

Nope. Scope is just hitscan vs projectile on regular shot.

Reaper is awesome. I also find him to be a pretty reliable hard counter to any Winstons that are terrorizing your back line. He's so big that you can basically put nearly full shotgun damage on him from like 5-10 yards out so he has a hard time escaping unless he has leap up.

Got ranked at like 1300 to start the season, been bouncing around 1750-1900 for a day or two, wouldn't mind playing with others.

The problem with any user input type flag is that anyone who plays Window/Hanzo will probably just get toxic flagged because people don't want to deal with their choice of character.

Can anyone post the server files for download here? It's been a while.

There was the simple Diablo 2 approach that their account gets muted for some period of time, eventually permanently so. It'd hurt them from really being an asset in some ways, and would hurt their teammates to that extent as well, but probably less so than they already do. Maybe make it so they...

Playing between like 5-10pm eastern really is complete aids. I should really just find a second game or do QP.

I see this on McCree sometimes too. You're responsible for like 65% of the team's killing blows and you've completely kept their enemy Pharah in check, but some dickface D'Va is complaining that she's gold damage and gold elims because she's spraying easily healed shit DPS into every toon on the...

Agree on that - the heal prevention on the nade is extremely valuable in focusing down high priority targets. I've found at super MMR that if you lock Ana out of the gate, you end up being the only healer about a third of the time.

The worse one is when you go Ana because people are whining for a second healer and the primary healer immediately switches to Hanzo.

God this is frustrating. My razer DPI settings keep resetting to some unknown value, but it's not showing in their synapse gui. For example, I thought I've been playing at 800 sen for the last few days (maybe week +?), but after realizing that my 360 seemed fairly small, I dropped it from 700...

In before Tenks tells you you deserve to be wherever you are.

Yeah, I'm getting like 50 a win and the matches feel more balanced than before by a lot.

I think Blizzard really did a good job with S3. A lot of people are complaining, and I was placed in the critically braindead ranking, but the matches down here are actually much more competitive than a lot of the stuff I saw in gold last season. Beyond the ego thing, it feels a lot smoother...

So everything I'm reading indicates that S3 placements are going to be within 50-100pts of S2 final, regardless of performance in matches. Sort of makes the process of doing 10 matches feel time consuming and pointless. The system really does seem broken. There are definitely some decent...

I legitimately don't use a mousepad. I just track on straight wood. Is this an issue?

What do you guys use for actual buttons? I just use whatever's stock, but was considering binding melee or something to mouse (naga). Interestingly, I read somewhere that the Vindication Lucio, DSPanky, plays with right click as jump.

Yeah - my original was like 1800 by 15. I'm not sure how I hit anything. It is definitely more difficult to jump a 360 now - I think I need more of a surface to work with.

Read up some some stuff about DPI and mouse settings and my McCree accuracy has gone from 35% to 45-55% as a result. Played a shitload of McCree over the weekend, much to the chagrin of my teammates. Comp is 5x DPS? Sounds like time for McCree. No healer? McCree. Mercy and Ana on tap and no...

Dunno why, Discord link says its invalid or has expired.

Having the sentries available to deploy stack up to 6 is a colossal change. Every minute she can pretty casually deploy a 6 stack of death above entryways, etc. I do wonder what the radius of the generator will be, and if it will impact inanimate things like turrets. Even if it's pretty big, I...
