It's very hard with some of the people I've played with.
I think they are playing the original doom

That's one thing this game has in common with TF2. Nobody looks up. Ever.
You're playing against horrible players. Either that or console players; I can't really comment on console balance.

If your completion percentage falls below a certain amount in your last 20 games you get a penalty.
Gotcha, thanks.
Actually tournaments have shown the opposite. Attackers win 75% of the time. Balance changes are needed.
If a Hanzo isn't already half-dead by the time he reacts, then that's a shitty D.Va player, because a good D.Va player won't approach him from the front. And I don't care how well that scattershot arrow is placed - if he's at 100 health or less from my damage, he's going down first.
Well i just had to go afk a bunch of times today because i was playing inbetween doing some work and i just got a message on my login:
So yeah... would not advise to leave early alot XD.

I just discovered that route today. Holy crap.
To the GAFfers I was just playing with on PC: Sorry I left so suddenly, my desktop internet connection just died and I'm typing this on mobile. Annoying!
when will you be sponsored
Everyone talking about leaving early, but no one cares what I post so hear it goes again:
The game gives you a leaving penalty if you can't load into a match. It's total bullshit. You can be given the penalty for literally no fault of your own. If the servers fuck up and can't load you into a match then you get kicked for "inactivity" and given the -75% penalty.
The servers on dogshit today for some reason and I've had at least 10 matches where it couldn't load me for whatever reason so here I am with the penalty. Guess what that means? It means I can leave matches I'm going to lose without fear. Nice job Blizzard, now I'm leaving on purpose.

Wow, I must be lucky. I just hit lvl 30 this morning and already dropped a legendary skin each for Dva, Reinhart, Winston, Zarya, & Zenyatta. Only with level up loot boxes too, haven't bought any at all using money and never will. Haven't been getting much gold in the boxes though, so I can't unlock a skin I really want yet.
im a pharah player and if the enemy team has a widowmaker, im fucked. any half decent widowmaker should be able to keep the skies clear.

I just have to say
I fucking love this game, I wish I had more time to play it.

It makes it visible to your team and the enemy team that you are accomplishing a lot if they hit tab, and it makes you eligible for the "on fire" card.
That's it, unfortunately.

Overwatch Day 5 thoughts - nerfs and buffs edition.
The following heroes are doing just fine, and need no buffs, or minimal buffs:
McCree
Winston
Symmetra
Widowmaker
Lucio
Mercy
Junkrat
Reinhardt
Zarya
Tracer
The following heroes need some kind of creative buffs that would increase their viability in competitive matches without making them overpowered in casual play:
Mei
Bastion
Reaper
Zenyatta
Genji
Hanzo
76
Roadhog
Torbjorn
The following heroes need big buffs because wow:
Pharah
D. Va
These maps need some nerfs on certain sides:
Hanamura: Move the Defender spawn 20 meters further away from capture point B.
Numbani: Give Defenders some more options.
Lijiang Tower: Remove from game pls

So satisfying pulling stuff like that off o
.
I wish that period was bigger. Such a fun game. Damn you wife, cats, and job!!
Yeah, Widowmaker is considered Pharah's #1 hard counter.

I think I'm finally starting to really get how to make the most of Zarya, had some really good rounds with her today, one where I didn't even die. Still haven't gotten POTG with her, but that doesn't seem to happen too often with her anyway. I'm not sure I'm big fan of her ult, though. It doesn't seem to do much.

Bolded for lol no
I would club a couple of baby seals to get those skins, except D.Va this is basically my top 5 favorite characters in the game. Now I'm even more pissed.

So glad this is in, fuck rage quitters.
Not talking about you btw.
If you want a POTG with her semi reliably, when you reach 70-100 energy ult 3-4+ people and spam the secondary fire, you will delete people left and right. I duo queue with a friend of mine and he's ranked the 7th Zarya on PSN he had a good dozen of POTG this way. I tend to buff his damage as Mercy too when he calls he will do that.
I feel like it's way too early for buffs/nerfs, and I disagree with most of those anyway. I'm not even sure it's possible to balance the game for clans and tournament play where all characters are equal without destroying a ton of them. I hope Blizzard realise that some characters will just always be preferred for competitive play. I saw what they did with WoW and making the classes there more homogeneous because some classes were being left out of raids and I don't want that to happen here.
There's a site like that? Is it PS4 only or does it have PC rankings too?
EDIT: found it, it does do PC as well. Awesome! Apparently I am the #278 best Thorbjorn.
What? It's possibly the best ult in the game. I got a quintuple kill with it the other day. It can lock down the entire enemy team, how does it not do much?
It support all platforms.

It's in the sound options menu at the bottom. Just turn it on with a pair of stereo headphones and boom, excellent positional audio.
And possible loss of your lunch.
Only thing I would do balance wise is give McCree some meaningful weaknesses, probably centered on reloading since he has a revolver, and let Pharah move while using her ultimate. (She can just hover over the ground while walking to avoid the animation problems.) Mayyyyybe give D.Va another second of active time on her E.

Yeah you need to leave a lot for this to kick in, I had it in beta when I was having some tech issues. It's based on your last 20 games, if you hit the threshold you get -75% XP until you go above it again, it doesn't take long. Honestly the penalty is far too lenient, one change I'd make is that the person who left shouldn't be able to queue for a match until the one he left is over, why should they be able to join a fresh game while the people they left have to struggle a man down.
That's a very good idea. Didn't happen to me more than 3-4 to have a rage quitter in about 140 match played.

Anyone else keep getting dropped from Battle.net while playing? Same thing happened to me in the beta and I've never had issues with any other Battle.net games. When it happens I have to close the game completely, go online with battle.net launcher and restart. This is getting annoying.
Nah, dude. Pharah is pretty bad if the enemy team is watching for her. Mei doesn't do anything that Winston or Symmetra or McCree can't do better. Genji, I don't play him, but I really haven't ever had a problem with him in games. He's good at clearing points with his ult, but that's about it. Any other time I'm happy to see him. Roadhog needs a better ult. It's not the worst, but it is extremely situational. I'd like to see its uses broadened.
Congrats!
I think that means you're obligated to give all us other Meka Riders some tips, right?
