Must... stop... chasing.... opponents...

My absolute favorite thing to do on Temple of Anubis at B when defending is be Junkrat and set a trap + mine in that little area behind B where it's like a tiny little back alley, Tracers love to ping people and go through it and if you are Junkrat most players who know how to play the game will ALWAYS try to come take the Junkrat out because hes a huge threat on that part of the map if that Junkrat has even a half competent team because his control is ridiculous and they will always follow me back in that tiny little alleyway and that trap+mine kills like 80% of the roster instantly and it's hilarious.

I had a Tracer fall for it probably 7-8 times last night in the same game.

WTF at those names?????

What does Team Kill mean? Does it mean I killed the Team or my Team killed the other Team? I got it 3 times in one match.

Got the game last night and played a few rounds. Didnt take long to get a play of the game. This feels like a good purchase. A single game that will grow and be played for many years. Just a fun pick-up-and-play for a quick match at any time.

Best resources for learning, or people to watch? There's a couple posts on TL about map strat at least.
Comp videos would be good too.

Lol. Did something similar on El Dorado defense. Eventually one of us did switch to Reinhardt. I have to imagine the enemy team was pissed trying to counter us all the time and being stuck at the start of the final checkpoint.

Playing on PS4 this morning and suddenly this game got REAL difficult. I went from winning most of my games to getting steamrolled by teams full of players that are 5+ levels above most of my team. It seems like the matchmaking is still in its data gathering phase leading to some lopsided matches. I'm level 10 by the way. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm level 12 now but was getting matched up with people 10 levels above me sometimes.

I have much more fun being Mercy than Medic in TF2. Maybe it's the zooming around from teammate to teammate, or the strategic switching from increasing attack to healing. I don't know, but it's a blast. I'll have to check my play time when I get home but Mercy has got to be pretty close to the top of my characters.

 

[OrochiJR]

Guys, how is the map rotation for you? I have been playing 30 matches so far, and most of the time the maps were Numbani, King's Row and Temple of Anubis. I have not seen Gibraltar, Hanamura, Lijiang Tower and Nepal as of yet. All the other ones only once or twice. I was ecstatic to get Ilios today for the first time.

Are certain maps/ modes given higher priority by the devs? They don't seem to come up evenly. Or maybe I just have bad luck.

Had a completely crazy Arcade match last night with the game spending 3 mins in Overtime.

My absolute favorite Arcade hero is Pharah, you can just hover over the battlefield constantly raining down rockets and ults with wild abandon. I never touch the ground.

 

[j-wood]

All my matches yesterday basically went like this:

First 3/4s are pretty great give and take. A couple of times it was exciting and we captured a point to move into escort just before time expired.

Then we would dominate pushing the payload. Until just before we get to the final point. The other team switches to 2-3 bastions and well, that's' that. Impossible to break though. Compounded by the fact that when we died, it took forever to run back to where the payload was. Ugh.

I just played a match where I got 18 molten core kills on Hollywood lol.

My team did good. Other team didn't even cap the first point.

As for the names, the only one I don't like is 'Ange'. Doesn't sound good. 'Fatale' is great though. Roadhog and Junkrat sound kinda awkward for French speakers so I can see why they translated them

Can definitely be true. I'm like, 16 or something, but if you think I know a dang thing about 50% of the roster, you got another thing coming.

Hell, last night was the first time I played tracer (as a 16), I killed myself 4 times in a row trying to figure out a shortcut by warping from one platform to the other, just because I had no clue what I was doing.

Of course, I didn't play the beta much at all. But still, there are probably a few folks like me out there (terrible).

eh, not zero. A level 1 will probably have less knowledge of the game compared to a level 50. In a game like this knowledge of what classes counter what, map knowledge, characters and their moves etc can overtake raw skill.

At which point it's panic time.

Or time to brute force it with Fan -> Roll -> Fan, but that's only worked like twice for me so far.
