Overwatch

I was just watching the tournament on GosuGamers. The healer on the defense crashed and rejoined. That made me realize, this game has never crashed for me in the 160ish hours the stats screen shows.

It is an easy scenario when you can load all your resources up front, but still, that's solid.

yeah no technical problems for me either. finally played this week on my 10th game (loss), rank 49. i think i'll just leave it there, there is no where to go but down from that and i really do enjoy QP way more than comp

i realized how petty i am though, i'm watching moonmoon's stream and i realized i just hate the reticule that is a giant purple circle. HOW CAN YOU NOT USE A GREEN DOT AS A RETICULE. PURPLE? PURPLE??

also $1k as a prize pool for a weekly tournament seems weak as hell, i wonder why overwatch isn't drawing more money or even viewers yet. only 6k viewers in this "pro" weekend tourney

As 76 you really don't want dot. If you watch virtually all high level solider players they all use cross reticle because you never want to enter the spread pattern. The dot doesn't let you know if you're fucking up your tempo or not. So I just moved universally to using the cross instead of dot.

I tried purple and it blends in on route 66 so went back to green. I think that tourney is euro.

I just count shots. 5 or 6 shot bursts keeps it in the center pretty much

Dupe post

Think I'm done with ranked until they make some more tweeks.

Two blow out victories in a row with enemy leavers equals practically no rank gain. If the entire enemy team quits one minute in you should still get the exact same MMR bump as if the game came down to the last second.

Roughly three quarters of my games today have had leavers. Quick play is far more enjoyable at this point...at least you have back filling.

Leaver is bugged also in that if someone on your team quits early into the match, the game says you can leave without penalty. This happened to me one game (guy abandoned game like 2 minutes in). I left the game after it gave that prompt and dropped a full rank. No penalty my ass. GG Blizzard.

That's not a bug. You don't get the leaver penalty, you still take the loss.

Yeah the message blizzard decided to display is absolutely non sensical. I thought the same thing and lost a full rank. It should specifically say you will still take the loss.

All I remember seeing is "no penalty". Losing a rank is a penalty. They need to clarify that better or bold that point if it did say that.

Yeah it just said no penalty when I did it. Assume that meant you can stay if you want but it's OK to leave. Wasn't ok to leave.

Surefour streaming 100% solo queue placement matches on alt now, should be interesting to see how he doesTwitch

I'll watch him. He got the highest rank out of anyone in his original placements.

I had 5 people leave my group and still won 10 to 0 on a tn panel

Is weird hes facing 60s already on a brand new account after only 3 placement games. I won my first 3 too and i was still having low 50s in my next game. Maybe the skill adjustment you get on performance means more than I thought?
