Sometimes I wonder how highlights/plays of the game are calculated.

I thought my highlight would be me killing 4 people with Soldier's ultimate, but nope.
It was me as Dva for making a Mercy fall to her death and shooting some guys afterwards.

Environmental kills count a lot.

Also depends on how much health the enemies you killed as S76 had.

Environmental and Objective plays are weighted very, very highly.

This is why I stay out of comms man, life is too short, lol. /old

Welcome to the club.

This is the type of stupid shit you have to deal with in Master's. Not included in the video was our Mercy telling us to die, then epic-ly failing her res and only getting 1 person and causing us to lose the point.

I just left the chat because I was trying to focus on the match, then didn't mute them because it was so fucking hilarious after a bit

https://youtu.be/6USFBdYX8ds

My favorite part is the fact I left for a good 4 or 5 minutes and they are still arguing just as intently when I came back.

Wait Torb killed your Lucio. Yall lost to attack Torb? No wonder everyone is so salty lol. Poor kid . And that Lucio is hella cringe

Its gets worst as it continues. Wow yall won that tho

 

[MCD]

In one of the games today I dived hard as D.Va after realizing Mercy is no where with the enemy team. It was a gamble to leave my team and all but it paid off sooooo goood when I found her hiding, waiting for that magical rez.

The best part is when they cap the 1st point.

"stfu I can't hear you down there almost diamond"

lmao

Yep, that's why sometimes you see a Lucio or Pharah get POTG with like one environmental kill and almost nothing else. It's irritating when I had just rezzed 3-4 people on the point and don't get POTG when it literally wins the match for us. :|

 

[LAM09]

This season seems to have gotten worse as it has progressed. I hope some major changes are in store for next season.

 

[randome]

Yep, I've realized that to preserve my sanity sometimes it's necessary to just not go into team chat. When I play with a friend or two sometimes even then we stay. Toxic and annoying people aside, sometimes people have mics that cause everyone to echo or other ridiculous shit.

 

[waitwhat42]

That was fast.

fucking badass

 

[Carl-Sagan]

Yeah next round went in now. Got in with other gaffers

Ayy. I see a few of us from the Discord on here.

got into the overtrack beta. lets see how it is tonight.

How are you liking it? I think if you ask the developer he'll give you a link to share your games. Or you can individually link your games.

 

[SgtWiggles]

God damn those healers.

I wish the recording caught the res fail first round, it was quite possibly the dumbest thing I have seen in ages.

Like 2 or 3 of us down, he panics and tells our tanks to die, they tell him to fuck off and raise us because they are good, he waits so long the res only catches one of us and they die because he hid for so long

 

[Dead Prince]

haha. haven't tried it yet. got the @ during work this morning (also still at work)

dudes abs got me thinking I need to now do 2 a days in the gym instead of just the usual after work workout

 

[Orochinagis]

Yay , I made it to Gold!!!

You're learning.

 

[waitwhat42]

I don't understand people listening to music while playing, auido cues are so crucial on this game.

Just make sure the in game sound is higher or you have headphones on so you can hear the game louder then the music and your fine

I would be more tilted if I'm just sitting in silence hearing my team getting steamrolled on 66

 

[icecold1983]

Well, she technically is a better sniper. Zoomed in scope, hitscan weapon...If your objective is to headshot someone far away, you want Widow.

Hanzo's kit as a whole makes him more useful as a character though and he's really ideally used as a mid-long range fighter.

No hes not. Get better at the game and i guarantee your opinion on this will change

It's not bad if it's lower volume than sounds. Some people don't care for the game music. A lot of pros and streamers play other music when they're playing. Personally, I find listening to music while I play distracting.

Nah.

Your Reaper will be much more effective, if you have Linkin Park playing in the background.

Too soon.

Oh... I wasn't aware that their singer had committed suicide. My bad.

That, or Nevada.

In case people missed this gem on the forums. This pretty much details how the cards at the end of a match work.

I had no idea people thought that's what Assists were. Like, none. No wonder I have to explain what that "purple shit" above someone's head is at least once a week.

If people are only getting Defensive/Offensive Assist cards with Zen, it means they don't know how to use Transcendence correctly.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Its gets worst as it continues. Wow yall won that tho

"I (Lucio) won us that round." is very, very rarely true, and certainly wasn't in this case.
Also, what is this, "dick in your nose" stuff? It conjures up some truly baffling images. I know, I'm old.
Thankfully.

 

[LiK]

Unless someone solo kills the entire enemy team or they capture a point all alone, there is no "I won us" anything.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Hey, great job! Keep going!

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Sounds like someone isn't ready for Moana soundtrack Fridays.

Someone- Kelvin, maybe?- was playing all-Disney during his stream a couple of days ago, starting with Moana. It actually made for a very fun, chill stream.

Then he played Christian Rap and shit went sideways.

 

[LiK]

I should join team chat and just play Disney music through it.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

I never get Transcendence cards, but almost always get an Off Assists card. I only use my Ult to counteract enemy ults though, so I guess that's to be expected.

Should I be using Zen ult differently? I tend to solo heal a lot.

 

[icecold1983]

Nah.

ok, i mean youre free to stay bad

Do what I do, and get down with your bad self.

Say something in spanish on the team chat, get instant bullied by english speakers

Lol, I watched that without sounds. Seemed pretty solid haha. Gotta watch it with sound later.

Solo-healing with Zen is a guaranteed Transcendence card. It's the only way to do any burst healing. If you're solo-healing, you can build it fast enough to not have to save it only for enemy offensive Ults.

I mean, you're not gonna get it if you're healing 5 DPS, but if you have 2 Tanks, Trance is gonna heal for a ton.

 

[paperlynx]

When does solo healing with zen ever work though

In Quick Play only, lol

Solo-healing is trash in this meta. Ana isn't OP anymore.

 

[paperlynx]

Yeah Ana kinda gets destroyed by dive, can't sleep everyone huh

I play in Gold, so I'm lucky if I have one tank, let alone two. DPS is the name of the game, and they love to spread out. I'll keep it in mind, though, since I obviously have a blind spot there.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

I do okay with it, win %-wise, but there's not much of a choice really. No one else wants to heal, I hate playing Mercy, I can't snipe- so Ana is out, and Lucio is... Lucio.
People demand Mercy sometimes, but I just ask them to play Mercy alongside me if they do.
No one ever takes me up on it.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Nah to that too.

I for one appreciate his permission. It's like a load has been lifted- the air smells cleaner, the sun is brighter...

 

[PatjuhR]

I don't like playing solo healer Zen. Sometimes I'm forced and I try, because I don't like playing Mercy. If I die a few teams and spammed "I need healing" a few times without success, I switch to an offense and most of the time somebody will go solo Mercy after that because they understand I won't.

 

[LiK]

Solo healer Zen is fine with me.
