The problem with Ana right now, and probably for the next few days is that people don't know how to play her, or play with her on your team. She's not an easy character to play. She has one of the highest skill cap in the game. The first issue is people are not used to having a 2 healers...

Because a boosted McCree was doing over 200 damage headshots, and basically 1 shotting almost every hero in the game beside tanks and a few others.

Finally will be able to play live again, after not playing since the 1 hero limit hit the PTR. I wonder if my ranking will do the same as PTR to, since I went from 40 to 46 on the PTR which makes me sad, since I'll be 40 again when I get back to live. I think this was due to lot less horrible...

I read about 1/2 to 2/3 of the first book before I stopped. I didn't find the story or characters compelling at all. I find most of the books recommended here to be good, this one just didn't hit the mark for me.

Nice interview with Jeff Kaplan about the future of Overwatch. Overwatch's Director On Competitive Mode, Controversies, And The Future Among other things, confirms that Sombra is a different character than Ana.

I think they need to be far more severe on leavers right away. Right now I think you can leave a few times before you get any penalty beyond a loss. They need to have a ban right away on the first leave...like play 1 hour of Quick Play before you can join a Competitive game again and 2...

Ana is my favorite hero right now, her gameplay is just plain enjoyable. I hope they push the PTR to live soon, since I haven't played live since PTR opened, the 1 hero limit is so great.

The July 21st announcement seems to have been about Ana, which was announced earlier evidently.

I think there are many ways to introduce a stealth hero that would be fun and interesting, there are just as many ways to do it that would just be frustrating.

A stealth hero next? A few voice lines were data mined on the PTR suggesting that this might be the case.

Looks like there isn't a lot of people on the PTR today, I'm ranked 45 on the PTR....and today I was put in groups or against groups that ranged from 55-79. I feel so out of place.

Leaver doesn't seem to affect rank xp now to be honest, or not much...I got anywhere from about 20% to a 100% rank for wins when there is a leaver, and 60% in the 2 games I was on the losing team, which seems to be about normal rank xp. I haven't really compiled to see if the games had underdogs...

double post

Ok, I can confirm that they did something with the leaver penalty. I only have 1 game with leavers so far today...the leaver(2 of them) were on the other team so it was 6 vs 4 for my team and we won. I got about 20% of a rank, which seems to be about half of normal and about 4 times what it...

The one thing I applaud Disney for doing with the new Star Wars movies is going back to practical sets and effects rather than green screen and CGI fest.

A few more PTR observations. This only from competitive, since it's the only place to get good group composition since QP is basically 2-4 Ana minimum so getting a decent view of things is impossible. I played a lot of Ana, Zenyetta and McCree, almost no D'va. Nothing much has change on my...

Oh very minor thing, but it bugged the hell out of me on live...but they fixed the Rank xp bar, it's always the same scale now...no more zoom in and out making it difficult sometimes to see your progress. They also added markers at every 20%.

Yeah I had the same experience, it's kinda weird.

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...
