I hope it isn't anything sexual for Mercy. Not a fan of that type of content, especially with her background. I do hope it's a badminton skin. The spray of hers is awesome! I hope tomorrow we hear something about the event. Maybe some leaks?

Ugh I got really tilted tonight, need to take a break. What other game should I play until Tuesday?

What do you have to play?

I think I'm just going to continue playing EOU2, but I also have Witcher III and FFXV to eventually play. The latter 2 just seem like huge commitments though

Witcher III can totally get you by until Tuesday. Can't comment on the other games.

When I get tilted I fire up some action game and take it out on the cpu. Pretty effective, lately it's been diablo 3.

Ggs, lik. Noticed you were in a couple of my qp games.

As far as the sleazy factor is concerned, Mercy's costumes have been pretty conservative in this regard (though I do chuckle at the fact her bust size is reduced when equipping her Devil/Imp Legendary skins). The only outlier is her Witch costume, but I honestly think it's more cute-sexy than straight up lewd. (Look at how cute her shoes are! And her witches hat!)
Besides, the Badminton Spray showcases her in a pretty standard outfit for the sport, and I'm certain they are going to go with that and Junkrat's Tennis outfit, Widowmaker's Gymnastics outfit, and whatever they'll cook up for McCree.
(Though the sight of McCree wearing a standard Olympic equestrian uniform is going to be a hoot. BTW, when is he going to get a Highlight Intro of him riding a horse?)

We need a McCree with a preppy equestrian horse highlight intro
Yeesh, I think playing Doomfist made me better playing Genji. Had a lot of good games in QP with him. Almost wanna start maining him.
Doomfist has too many hard counters. McCree, Sombra and Zen totally destroy me. They need to make his hitbox smaller cuz they can hit my shoulder or legs and still cause an insane amount of damage. I was watching the killcam and they don't even touch my head. He currently has the same issue as Winston and Orisa before they reduced the crit box. I dunno, I'll probably never play him in Comp as he is right now.
I didn't get to play. Watched you for a bit but it was taking too long, lol

Takes a while to get used to it.
The 4-shots with automatic reload and the seismic slam ability felt really weird at the start for me.
I'm definitely looking forward to when the game normalizes a bit and players stray away from the character. At least until they become competent enough with Doomfist without becoming a liability, as his abilities (a base level) are strong. But when they are combined, he becomes a master of disruption and damage-dealing.
He definitely excels in confrontations where he can single out a target and escape, at least with my experience playing/witnessing players using him. But when players try engaging in the thick of a team fight, Doomfist can't do much to disrupt multiple characters focus firing on him. I mean, you can launch multiple enemies into the air, but it isn't long and won't do much to disrupt their progress.
What systems do you have, or what kind of games do you normally play?
I actually like doomfist enough to run him in comp but is he an even more dangerous to initiate a fight then genji since his hitbox is huge. If he's running tag team with winny/Z bubble or DM up he's cool but no way would I be the one to start the fight playing as Doom.
Comp might be even more unplayable at first since most will probably try to just lunge into the choke without thinking.

I think Doomfist hype has already gone down. Played a bunch of QP solo and people didn't even pick him. I guess they just don't wanna be a liability. I'm still getting used to his abilities. But so far, every time I pick him, the enemy team would just focus on me like I'm a support hero. It's actually getting really annoying. Watching them purposely ignore everyone else to kill me shows people just wanna kill a Doomfist players cuz they know they're still learning him. Had a few good games where I destroyed the enemy teams but it's been a chore since it's not easy to escape with him..
Like I said, he was much better before they reduced his rocket punch range. Much easier to escape. Now I find myself getting killed more often in team fights.

If you have Zarya bubble you, along with Zen tossing one of his healing orbs, then you're good to go on that front. Just be aware of the Pharah's and Sombra's that can wreck you, as the former can take Doomfist out from the air, while Sombra can neutralize Doomfist, given he's an ability-heavy hero.
Heroes from a distance, like Soldier 76 and Widowmaker, can also take him out with relative ease.
Yea I noticed he's not being picked first right now. Can't tell if people already had their fill with him or if people are looking at him as more of a hassle since DF is still new. I definitely got targeted fast as hell on him. Assuming everyone got it out of their system with the arcade stuff.
Yea I always have to think of a escape route before getting in the fight
But if you are in comp at least let your team know that you have it ready. Don't make the rest of the team have to check the heroes screen every now and then for the chance that you might got EMP. That was the only problem with this guy, he never called the ult before dropping it, therefore there was never a follow up to that, making the EMP useless.
I created a second account (don't want to call it smurf account) to try to see were I will rank. I'm planning on using it only for solo q, not messing around and being a troll/thrower. Figured that being solo q the lottery it is, I might as well play with an account that is not my "main", so I don't get too mad. Am I part of the problem? T_T
In open area where they sees you, use seismic first to initiate, then uppercut followed by the punch. Finish off with with left click if he's still alive and close by.
Otherwise, just punch away from corners.
Also, I think Doomfist is immune to CC while jumping from uppercut so use that to your advantage.
I think summer is just a horrible time to play online games. It is not like Quick Play was perfect before (and I think they should do something about it), but it is getting even worse, with nonsense compositions that, even if you win, it does not feel like a reward, more like a chore. I am to the point that I do not enjoy the game and then start thinking why am I playing it. And then add the nerfs to you favourite characters
I think I am not going to touch OW until winter.

Played with a six stack tonight. Good people, but they don't know how to group and stop trickling. And when we try to group up there always the one who doesn't listen and gets picked off so we wait even more. Lol. I have fun with them though.
Not at all! I sometimes play with my alt in comp and it's more definitely more chilled. I don't throw but tend to stick to a character unless we're getting rolled over. The most annoying part is actually leveling the account to 25, the amount of crappy games I had to get through...
I'll be on tonight if you're down, I played some really good quick play games last night with both sides actually trying to win.
Thanks for the many recommendations for streamers/YouTubers!
Edit: Might as well quote everybody in case anyone else wants a big list of recommendations.

Yeah, levelling to 25 is gonna be a pain in the ass. On the bright side, I think that the game put me in games with people that just got into the game (I saw a lot of standing soldiers, widows, reapers...they just stood there shooting at me) so it's kinda fun to try silly things against those guys.
I'll probably be on tonight, I'll let you know.
I'll chip in and add a couple of my favourite folks to listen to:
Desrow / BestTorbNA - Grand Master/Top 500 Torbjorn player
NRG Dummy - Professional Ana player for NRG
CodeyNiku - Top 500 Sombra player for Denial
Dummy is a former NRG player.
The list is missing Wraxu. Insane Hanzo player. He is top 100. And streams daily.
And he is fun also to watch.

I just found another channel that looks quite promising: CANAS1AN
He posted a compilation of his Zarya guides and VOD reviews on /r/CompetitiveOverwatch

Don't even need Sombra or hacks.
I decayed to 3000 sr after being in the 3300s and have stopped giving a shit about competitive I also can't get back into diamond I've lost every game since decaying. I'm part of the problem with competitive now.
If you're not throwing and geniunely trying to win games in comp, you're not part of the problem imo.
What's your SR now? SR doesn't matter to me this season cuz of how fucked it is. Just happy to play with Gaffers as a team.
I think he's pretty weak as is. The nerfs they did before he went live really hurt him. If a team just focuses fires on him for a bit, he goes down really fast.

If anyone wants some spicy esports news, apparently Kaiser is going to be headed back to Runaway to play for Apex S4. My question is, considering that he left to join Cloud 9 because of financial reasons, does that mean he is going to be on Seoul's Overwatch League roster? :thinking:
Speaking of that roster, in an interview the owner said that we would get an announcement of the players on the roster approximately next week, so some exciting news is on the horizon.
I'll attest to his quality. He's really helped me improve my Zarya more than anyone. With her greater importance in the new patch, I can't recommend his content enough.
