This is why you should be able to skip POTG if you want to move onto voting. They aren't particularly interesting 90% of the time.

But then the next round starts immediately, or do you just instantly leave again for some reason?
JIP is perfectly fine for quick play, but I think that it should (and probably will be) removed for the ranked mode.
I find I have alot of success countering Torbjorn's turrets with reaper and Winston. Teleport to an area where you can get behind torbjorn safely, phase over to the turret and 2-3 shot it when you pop out and its down. For Winston I jump up, throw my shield over it and sit outside of it and damage it down. Molten Core throws a bit of a wrench in the cog, but I find it best to just wait that particular Ult out if possible
People keep saying this about the flash bang but I don't get it. I've deflected it a few times, but then I'm "stuck" in my deflect animation and the flash bang stun is super short. By the time I'm out of deflect he's not stunned any more and probably fanning the hammer at me. Is there something I'm missing?

All friendly players and projectiles can shoot through shields (Winson/Reinhardt) iirc.
Everyone on his team can
Yeah, though if I just end up dying mostly then it doesn't feel like I'm learning that well. I have gotten an idea of certain characters like Mercy playing online as opposed to AI since with better players you get a better sense of how important your support is keeping everyone going.
Yeah, I've just been doing Medium thus far and experimenting with characters and getting used to their abilities and when to use them though some have been coming easier than others.

If you're in a group, does the matchmaking try to match you against another similarly sized and ranked group?

Fun fact and confirmed by a developer, you can leave the match as soon the match finishes (When the words Victory or Defeat appear ) and you won\t be penalized as a leaver, you won't also lose any experience gained nor your loot box if you lvl up.
You can use all that time to find and start playing your next game instead.

Yes. For Winston to win 1 on 1 fights with many characters he HAS to use his bubble to block their fire. This works particularly well if you can bait them into following you through it, because both the outside and inside surfaces of the bubble block enemy fire, so you can interrupt their ability to hit you twice by retreating through it.

Mei can freeze him and he can't deflect her left click. Same with winston

Well, after he wastes his flashbang, you still have to outplay him. It's not trivial to win the fight, but the fight's about even if he can't flashbang you. He's slow as shit, so you just have to dodge his shots, hit a couple shurikens and a swift strike before flashbang comes back. He can't escape, but he can bait you into chasing and getting fanned.

I got my first play of the game! It is nice when they recognize the defensive and support players. I basically hung back and built turrets the whole game. At the end the screen said I had 50% participation in all kills and we won the game.

Is there any way to disable spectator mode for myself? This might end up killing the game for me. I can't get into any games with friends without being in spectator mode. I would rather just not be able to join. Literally every friend game I join, I am in spectator mode. I even got an invite from a friend and landed in a party of 6, and the game had 4 of us (not me) plus 2 randoms. Wtf?? This is the worst party system I have ever seen, made especially bad by the need for a party in this game.
Do you lose the consecutive game xp bonus?
Zaryas beam as well.

I'll try Winston tonight. He didnt seem appealing at first, but seeing some comments in here and watching my roomate play as him, he seems like fun.
Zarya and Winston I would think. Can't deflect those attacks.
Really? I've yet to have that happen.
Just ignore her. Everyone has so much health that unless she's using her ult she's not able to do anything of note. And if she sticks you, well, shit happens.

Fucking Rein/bastion combos.
I can usually push away the rein with D.Va and break up the combo for my team to push forward but that usually results in me eating it. :<

if you were suppose to get it after that match, you'll get it, you don't need to stay for the after match screens to get get your stuff.
Had my first obvious hacker in like 8-10 hours of play. His name was "wwwwwwwwwwww" which, you know going in something is screwy.
Dude played Reaper the entire time and was tracking through walls with no Hanzo or Widowmaker on his team, which, whatever. The real tell was one shot from his shotgun would one shot you. One shotted me as soldier, thought it was odd, then found him as reaper.. one shotted. Then I just started looking for him, one shot every time. Wasn't lag or anything either.
Also, no damage modifiers on him or anything, just solo'ing.
What's great is I mention in team "uh wwwwwwwwww is hackin" and I get the typical NO HE ISN'T BRO, HE'S JUST REALLY GOOD.
Yes, he's so good his weapon is at least 5x more powerful than it should be. /okay

Yes. He is a highly mobile character. Keep moving and make use of his double jump, dash ability and wall climb.
But you would still have to wait the same amount of time as everyone else for the next match to start. And if you want to leave, you can just leave during PotG. So what difference would it really make?

So I just added my name to the Xbox list to play with everyone. Is it normal to now add everyone's GT to my list? Is that how everyone does it? Thanks. Sorry for the stupid question. I'm tired of playing with random people.

I mean, kill cams make it pretty easy to tell when something is amiss.

Small healing aura on the sentry turrets?
Its based on the item rarity. I think common duplicates are only worth 15.
I would like to know this too. I'm interested in some tried and true methods to getting better. I always seem to hit a wall with these types of games.

Yeah its disgusting. Sorry but if you come out of the corner and you are instant dead from a turret like wtf.
I had one game where a turret won a game by itself since it was killing the entire team instantly from across a giant hangar.

Yeah I've been wondering about this. I'd love to join a GAF group for this game and if we don't have one, well we should have! Dyno#21500 PC. EU but most of my play time is on the US schedule and very late. Really though we just need a group rather than individually adding each other.
Generally if I deflect his stun I just swift strike through him, or away from him to reset that particular encounter. I especially do this if it's in a narrow corridor where Genji's mobility is gimped. If its a bit more open I may try to sit at range and try to shuriken him down but that's dependent on how good that player is at hitting with his single shot. Genji is really good at blunting his advance though and taking a lot of his effectiveness away from him. If he does fan the hammer at the deflect he should kill himself in a few shots.
Another thing I like to do (sometimes this fails) when I know his position and my deflect is up I'll jump out and deflect his high noon back at him. Deflect lasts longer then the time it takes for Mcree's ult to build up to one shot damage on Genji. Alot of Mcree's I see are content with only getting one kill out of it and will pull the trigger once they see the first skull pop up.
Getting a triple kill with Mei is so satisfying. I'm not good at shooters, so I'm quite proud of this:

Yes, so that you can see who is currently playing and invite/request an invite to their party.

The group is called support, not healers. I'm going to bet we are going to get more support people that aren't based around healing. Support is a broad scope.
And no one on your team thought to swap to widowmaker and two shot it?
