    Well stopping early, 3 games...3 absolutly crushing defeat with zero teamwork, awful team comp, no one switching...guess it's idiots night in Overwatch.

    Grats, that's nice. Started at 1400, and at 2300 or so now. I'm not playing as much as I want though recently. I always like to have 1 or 2 QP warm-up matches in me before I play competitive...and haven't had time for much more than my warm-up matches this week. I hope for platinum...diamond...

    After a few days away from competitive, mostly practicing Mei. I finally played competitive again last night, climbed to mid 2300, in what was mostly a win one, then lose one kind of night. I did find the courage to play Mei in competitive in a game or two, it went very well, I am now confident...

    Well that was funny. We're facing a full group of 6. We're a group of 3 , a group of 2 and me solo. We destroy them in the first match...and then they all leave as a group. :)

    Yeah Pharah is definitely a problem at my rank. I found that when I play Zenyatta and keep her discorded and help our dps to kill her it make a huge difference. At this rank, just hoping your soldier can kill her easily by himself will usually not work well, people don't have the aim to...

    I only pug in competitive. Not ideal but you have to adjust your expectation accordingly. You'll get some terrible teams, but will also face some terrible teams too...again this balances out in my opinion. It just makes a few games not so fun. I don't know anyone who plays, used to play with...

    I don't care about comp in QP, KCVIX said it's a place to practice characters. I used to try and make selection to have a good comp only to realize I would never get to practice new ones. :) Going in with that attitude allows me to enjoy it. Since both teams pretty much end up with a horrible...

    i didn't think about that, but it make sense. It does seem to be more or less back to normal.

    Overwatch

    This season has been interesting for me so far. :) Started at 1400 then slowly ranked up to 2050, went back down to 1600. At this point I made an alt account, which placed at 2550, ranked it up to 2700. Then I went back to my regular account with a bit of confidence now that I knew I could play...

    I've been back into this for a month or so and I am having a lot of fun. I'm playing casual though, and mostly just solo, or duo with a friend. I do whatever I feel like with no particular care about progression...I'll get there eventually. :)

    Muahahaha, got the Zenyatta skin on the free loot box they gave us. :)

    I'd like the Zenyatta skin, it looks pretty cool and I use him a lot these days, he's been my go to character in recent weeks to rank up. Allows me to fill a secondary healer role, which is not often filled while still impacting the game as DPS, and discord is great. At my rank of gold, Pharaah...

    Well that was fun, after playing an alt account in platinum ranking for a while, I decided to go back to my normal account which had fallen from 2000 to 1600, ranked up all the way to 2077 which is a season high on that account. It seemed a lot easier after a week or so at platinum. I think I...

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    It's such an easy target though, material essentially write itself. :) That being said the show is at it's best when they do their expose on some stuff that isn't getting much coverage elsewhere.

    I thought bronze toxicity wasn't that bad, found silver and gold to be worse, so far platinum has been pretty good too. Things tend to get more toxic the closer people are to getting to the next rank. For example a silver player who is at 1975, so 1 win from gold will more likely end up toxic...

    So I made another account for fun. Regular account placed 1400, climbed to 2050, went back down to 1800 and been around 1800-2000 since. New account, placed 2550, climbed to 2750, and been around 2600-2700 since, which is about a week. Small sample I can still totally collapse I guess.

    There seems to be a HUGE amount of aim-botting right now in the game. You can see with their cursor tracking instantly all over the screen and headshot everyone. They are not even trying to hide it. It's just so obvious.

    What's wrong, queues between 3-4 mins tonight, then get into a mtach in progress match and lose in 5 seconds.

    I never ask someone specific to play something else...ever. I'll suggest that we could use a healer/tank or an extra healer/tank, and only when I am a healer/tank already...since if I am a DPS I might as well switch myself to fill the role. :) It's the same if during the match, I find that we...

    What do you think this is? :) Oh, one more bit of advice...when you lose a few games and you feel like you're starting to get upset...stop and play QP, because you'll just end up losing more.

    I managed to do it, go from 1400 to 2000, so bronze to gold...but I am not sure how possible that would be right now. For the past 2 weeks or so, I find competitive to be unplayable. I don't know if it's because a lot of people got the game for the holidays and there are a lot of new people, or...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I tried getting back into this recently, I usually have fun for a while as it's a good game. I didn't last very long, basically was too lazy to relearn how to fight. 3 hot bars of abilities is not something I really enjoy anymore. I think I'm just getting too old. :)

    Overwatch

    Yeah it's getting ridiculous. Not sure what happened but don't remember seeing competitive being so bad, like no attempt whatsoever at team play. Nothing toxic though, like no one yelling or anything, just a bunch of people totally uncoordinated. Like 1900 isn't the best for team play, but...

    Overwatch

    The level of toxicity has gone up big time since hitting 2000. When I was below that and grouped with bronze, silver and gold...sure there was a few toxic players once in a while but kit often. The group composition were bad,one talks but it seems to be generally easy going. As I climbed it...

    I love Symmetra, she's a lot of fun but she's the reason there are so many draws now I think. I am 17-8-6 with her, I think 6 draws is a lot in 31 games I think. I'm pretty sure she'll be nerfed or tweaked at some point. She's still very situational, so she's not good all the time, but when she...

    Man this weekend was horrible, went from 1800 to 1400, and today only lost once from 1400 to 1900. :)

    I started at 1400, went up to 1800...and been stuck around 1700 since. I have about 60% win rate when I play Reaper, where I feel I can carry some games. I just can't be on him all the time, he's either picked or we have no tank or heals and I end up switching to one.

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Just came back from seeing it, I loved it. I didn't see the time go by. I enjoyed that they essentially they explained the weakness of the Death Star in a way that makes sense, since that was always a weak plot point of ANH. It was darker than I expected. Can't wait to see it again.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I just finished it, and overall I loved it. There is too much happening offscreen toward the end, like it's missing a chapter or at least a few cutscenes that show what happens. Other than that it's a typical final fantasy story, and I quite enjoyed it. Still have a lot to do. So should keep...

    Archeage

    I thought I'd fired this up, to give the new expansion a try. Servers are offline, and have been since expansion launched. I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same. You have a chance to maybe get back some old customer, and this happens.

    Well not a bad evening...went from 1600 or so to 1830, before losing a few games and finishing around 1785. Not a bad climb from 1400 I placed at so far. :)

    I got ranked at 1450 or so for Season 3, which was disappointing after season 2 being between 1800-2200, but not totally unexpected with the new curve they wanted. I haven't had a chance to play all that much with FF15 out, but managed to climb to 1628 so far, just 1 or 2 losses I think since...
