I wouldnt bet on that, rank is more or less entirely a function of time played

Also this. You get like a 1k difference between losses and wins, levels mean jack shit exceot for time spent
I'm entertained that you're so mad you came here to flame the thread on spec.
I think mastering how D.Va's ult can be catapulted into the air with her boosters is probably one of the most satisfying things to learn. So many triple/quadra-kills I've nabbed setting up unpredictable angles for her mech to fall down to and try to cook the timer a bit, lol.

What do you guys think are the hardest characters to use or master?

It's less being bad in the "I'm not good at aiming yet, I don't know the characters" but more being bad in the "what is that glowy thing with a letter on it? What's a 'payload'? Why are you guys standing in that square and not killing these guy waaaaaay over here?".
Use: Genji. Junkrat, Symmetra. Tracer.
Master: Genji, Tracer, D.Va, Zenyatta.
For me: Widowmaker, Hanzo, because im the worst sniper ever in the history of videogames :/

Yeah people need to pick that up. It would haven been nice if the game had an intro by Winston that just went over each mode briefly.
None. It's kind of crazy to me that Genji has a 3 star difficulty rating
like what

Whew Zenyetta is a blast with a good aggressive team.
The game could certainly do with more in-depth tutorial stuff for entirely new players, I mean the OP gives more concrete details on the various modes than the game stutorial.
You keep trying to defend people with this same excuse. Who cares if it's day 3. It's an fps, it's basic mechanics. it's control point, it's payload. Like they are not new concepts
As long as you stay focused on the objective you are above average at the game
I have never played a team shooter before this.
I never touched the beta or read about the game's modes before picking it up.
I may suck at getting eliminations and I'm still working on my aim and use of characters.
But it's common sense to stick to the objectives and the game makes them abundantly clear even without a tutorial.

I posted this earlier in the thread, but how do I get added to the Xbox group? Can anyone help me out with figuring this out? I found the Google doc in the OP, but I'm unsure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Opponents are at 90% claimed and I still have guys not rushing to defend. So weird.
Makes a bit of sense for week 1. Make all players less squishy, have faster access to abilities and Ults for helpful learning, and it can make for some crazy chaos,
Would be nice for a daily rotation as well though.
You'd be amazed at how many people lack common sense.
Had a similar situation except it was full Zarya vs full Tracer. It was hilarious. Nothing but bubbles & zips all over the place.
The mode where your character gets swapped after every death is amazing. Really puts people in an uncomfortable spot at least a couple of teams each round.
Got a Bastion legendary at lvl 3 (gearbox) and a Torbjörn epic (woodclad) at level 5 and nothing since... Of any skin
Currently level 10
I will do my best!
Ugh. I must've played over 10 matches so far and I think I've won maybe 2 or 3 of them. Got PotG in one of the close ones though with a DVa nuke triple kill so that was nice. I swear every single match has had Hanzo in it the whole time though, sometimes on both sides. He really is kinda braindead with his arrow hitboxes being so big. The really overcompensated for the arrow drop-off and the lack of a zoom.
It's nice to fly up to one of their perches though as DVa and shotgun their face off. Unlike other heroes I don't have to worry about a random headshot killing her in one hit.
Also I'm going to reiterate that whoever made the final call to allow repeats in loot boxes is literally worse than Hitler. I can't believe my rare drop from a loot box was an icon repeat so I only got like 5 gold or some shit. Unbelievably scummy of Blizzard to allow that.

I think he's mediocre easily but a beast in the right hands. Look up seagulls gameplay of genji. Dude goes on a 25 kill streak it's nuts.
You just need to abuse his mobility and deflect skill.

More than effectively countered a team with a Reinhardt shielding two Bastions in the beginning of Anubis with a Reinhardt and two Symmetras. Our Reinhardt shield would go down fairly quick but it was enough for us to charge our secondary fire and put the Bastions in panic mode. Obviously we changed our heroes when we got through, since attacking with two Symmetra's isn't really that great.

What the hell, my ping is fluctuating from 60 to 250. Has not been happening until recently.

There will be if you can get out of the scrub pits in ranked. You can just level up to the 2nd tier by pure attrition since you lose no ranking xp but get to that 3rd tier and that's where you'll start to find the decent players at.

Yo, is there any way to respond to the Group request (Y/N) on PS4?
Reaper is OP as fuck.
Yea if you're accurate with him, he can cause serious damage. I should play with him more.

Fuuuuuuck. Reaper is strangely absent from general discussion when he is an absolute powerhouse in the right hands.
Hold left click into the air of the general direction of the enemy, wat

Because he is not op like bastion /s
Any heroes in capable hands are able to clean house with a good team.

Is there a daily bonus for playing weekly brawl? Better question what are all the bonuses. I know there one for first win of the day.
So, I got enough money for a legendary skin for Pharah.
I either want Rapororion or Mechaqueen.
Raptororion's baby blue looks a little too... calming, but I think the colors work together nicely. Then again, Pharah is already blue. So I'd be getting a skin that as a whole may not feel that different from her default.
Mechaqueen's color feels very retro but... The colors contrast rather harshly. But that's a part of it's retro-y aesthetic I guess? Will it look good in the middle of a match?
Hmm... Choices...

Yep. It will probably be down to time played rather than skill most of the time.
200.
Two low level randoms in our team, one picked Symmetra the other Tracer regardless of map, game mode or whether we were attacking or defending.
In the first game both of them picked Symmetra to which my teammate said in the chat "Seriously guys two Symmetra?"
One of the randoms replied "fck off"
Smh
And oh we lost that match and the next because neither did anything or changed characters.

The rocket jump, trap use and ultimate you have to guide seem harder than the average hero skill in the game in my opinion
