I played a few hours of competitive on the PTR to get a better feel of Ana...not 4 of her per team like QP is right now. This is my opinion as a ranked 40 player, with just a few hours with her. As a sniper for damage...she's simply horrible in my opinion. Her body shot does little damage...

One thing I noticed that is a bit annoying with Ana, if you have one of your team member between you and an enemy target...you will not be able to shoot the enemy since the hitbox for the heal is very big it will almost always hit your ally even if full life rather then the enemy. It also...

Initial impression on Ana from a few games in QP which are far from being good representation as most teams had 3-4 Ana, 2-3 D'Va and McCrees. She has zero mobility, no wall climbing, no hooks like widowmaker, no speed boost or ability to fly away like Mercy. Having no ability to get into...

I find most of the change to be interesting. It doesn't look like they fixed the leaver penalty, which they might not even consider to be broken. Since the hero stacking was getting to be my biggest issue in competitive at low ranks, I'm quite happy with the hero limit, I can play enough heroes...

I've said before that I feel I am at the ranking I belong to...which seems to be around 40 and I'm fine with that. Of course I'd like to rank up and that's normal. As for pre-made affecting the results or not, well after 200 competitive games I will say with a certain degree of certainty that...

You can see in this picture that the blue team has 3 people grouped and the red team has 2 by the white on each sides.

The star indicate 100 levels. So they are 118 and it 18. Amzin beat me to it by a few seconds.

After a goodnight sleep, I thought I'll give it another try...this is what happened in competitive. This is after we failed to defend, because on Point B, our Mei walled us in the spawn room. I love the game, but this is getting tiresome...I know I am not a great player...only ranked...

Oh well, game finally got to me to the point that I rage quit a competitive game...with 3 Symmetra in Lijiang Tower KotH map. I think it's time for an extended break of Overwatch.

Well someone found a way around the leaver penalty, he was AFK in our spawn room for the last 2 matches of a KotH game. Probably was pressing a key every now and again to avoid inactivity.

As per usual, last 2 games...2 leavers...won one, lost the other...net impact, lost half a level for being 50% rate.

KotH, 2 thorbjon, 1 symmetra, 1 bastion, 1 soldier 76, and me as Mercy. We lost in 3 rounds 100-0. They never changed in all 3 maps.

Oh that was kinda fun, in a pretty pathetic way. Hanamura, we're on defense...we have a leaver while defending point A. We all decide for fun to continue 5 vs 6. We lose point A, but manage to defend point B. Now it's our turn to attack, we take point A under 3 minutes. When we get to point B...

Seriously, gold medal for healing as reaper...on KotH that went to 5 games.

Fuck this leaver shit, we're 5 vs 6 for the last match of KotH and won it with just 5 and we get the 5% XP only. Like their shit system doesn't even differentiate on who wins the game when someone leaves it penalize the winner even thoug it's the team that has just 5...fucking retarded.

WTF Seagull on Genji there at the end.

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.

Thanks

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 use to love his movies with Terrance Hill as a kid. They were a fun pair. I saw quite a few at the theater too...god I'm old.

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...
