Be on attack. Have two teammates playing Hanzo and Widowmaker for the entire match. We lost. Shocking!

Wish people would learn to play to team composition better but it's still such early days.

Edit: On a positive note, got me some nice skins. I can't get over how good all the legendary skins are for everyone.

I consider myself a decent player. Above average with Lucio and Junky, below average with a few others. I tried Torbjorn for the first time and tured into an unstoppable behemoth. 3 straight defense POTG, 3 defense wins in a row, and a 53-7 elimination/death ratio. Yeeeesh. Use him if you want an inflated view of your true abilities.

Fuck Dva's ultimate.

Don't even bother doing anything to capture the point, just let Diva slowy get her ult up and blow my team up and then instantly capture the point.

If you see an enemy D. Va on a Capture Point map, it's a good idea to go Mercy, just in case they try to pull this shit. If they do, just remind them that heroes never die.

Just get out of the way or find cover. It's usually pretty easy to avoid unless D.Va is cooking the timer by sending the mech vertically and at an unexpected angle. Even then, it's more reactable than a lot of other ults.

Guys, I'm about to buy loot boxes. I can't help it, somebody stop me, TALK ME DOWN!

I've just earned so many duds so many times in a row that I'm desperate for some loot.

Just gave Tjorbjorn a crack and remembered how much I loved to play an engineer in TF, TF2, and Q3F.

I was practicing on bots and got a 21 kill streak. Somehow I doubt he's quite so effective in PvP.

Why are you desperate for cosmetic loot in a first person game? I honestly dont get it.

You get credit for repeat rewards. So even if you keep getting duds, they'll eventually overlap and then you can buy the stuff you want with the credit you earn.

Real talk? I forget I even get boxes now. I had 3 earlier because I kept playing without checking. I expect nothing so if something drops, neat.

So how are you going to feel when you buy more and find out that it's all junk as well? Buy more? And when you finally get a legendary, what does that amount to? During gameplay all you're seeing of that skin is the arm. Is that really worth it?

Maybe you'll get an EPIC play of the game animation. Except unless it's Bastion or one of the other four that constantly get it for hitting their q, no one will ever see it. And if they do, how many do you think care? Do you care when you see it?

Very little is more fun than getting to play a harassing D.Va. If my team picks a more static tank and they've got a sniper that is doing some work, I'm going to play D.Va and fly in behind them and just be annoying as hell.

Fuck anubis point B so hard. Need attacking team to go like 2 Pharah 2 Junkrat or something AND kill the mercy so there is no revive.

Finally got around to trying Mayhem. I was unstoppable with D. Va! Never died and got my first play of the game ever using her Ult. Good stuff

Think of it this way, every box you get can have a legendary. you might get 20 legendaries

Why am I a level 7 and playing with level 40's and above?

Is there some sort of MMR going on behind the displayed rank?
Click to expand...

Because thats what Blizz do. Also levels dont mean much, its just time spent really. A loss doesnt give that much less than a win, maybe those level 40s have a ton of losses and a lot of free time.

The best thing in a loot box are the audio lines because you can find some really dumb ones and spam them over and over.

And those things are ridiculously cheap.

I really liked it when loot boxes didn't exist. I played matches because the game was fun and I enjoyed playing it.

Then they added loot boxes and all of a sudden I'd find myself playing one or two more matches just to level up. Something about them that skews people's incentives for playing the game.

I need to play with other people or something. I'm getting really really salty about being on a Payload and being literally the only one pushing.

ugh

nothing sucks as much as getting two of the same item in a loot box, happened to me twice so far and I'm only lvl 19

20 triple grey crates in a row sucks more. I felt like I had wronged Blizzard and they were punishing me.

Hanzo is good but you need to use him right, his ult is almost useless vs. Tanks but his counter can take out turrets and bastion.

Man, I love this game so much, but it kills me that I have to play Lucio every match.

I mean, I really like playing Lucio, but if I don't choose support it seems nobody else ever does and we lose. I just want to character switch once in a while. :(

Soldier just reeks of Blizzard recognising the lower skill levels on consoles and pandering to it. Like a ''don't worry COD fans we have a class here just for you'', it's a shame to see so many afraid to come out of their comfort zone but I guess the rest of us will carry on mopping up the kills.
