These events are kinda bummed when you get real shitty luck and keep getting boxes full of nothing.
I love how Orisa's ult functions as a reveal of just how terrible your DPS are. If you pop the drum and your Soldier/Reaper/whatever gets zero kills you can safely write off that whole match.
Why did blizzard turn lucioball into it's own competitive mode? It sucks. It's a poor mans rocket league. Do they really believe in this thing? Lol
Have you asked yourself the question "do I like this game"?
He's right though, Lucioball was a total waste of development time. There are far more pressing issues with the game than a pointless comp diversion.Have you asked yourself the question "do I like this game"?

Really gotta learn to adopt the two loss rule in Comp and not play late at night too. Just got DCed from my last match of the night and I'm pretty sure I did more harm than good to my rank overall as well.
I really just don't know, I feel like I got a pretty ok understanding of the game after playing since launch and mechanically I've been playing FPSes for a longgggg time but this season has just been all over the place for me.
I'm currently nearly 1000 points below where I was last season (32xx) and even worse compared to the season before that where I nearly made master at like 3452, which is nuts because I don't feel like I'm worse than what I was then.
I try to play to the team comp as well as I can and I currently main Zen, Winston, and Reaper while having backups I can play if the role is filled but still I just can't seem to hit diamond this season, I'm perpetually in the 2400-2800 range. It just feels like at this rank no one wants to play to the team comp and it's all about their fun over actually winning.
The amount of games I've seen slip out of our fingers because we just need one more fucking healer or someone decides to jump on their spotty Junkrat/widow because we are up one or no one wants to run Winston when a Sym is up or we have DPS that still cant grasp the concept that if you kill their healers the team fight is basically over, etc, etc is just mind boggling.
Phew, I'm really trying not to be the typical salty OW guy who blames everyone else cuz I know I have games where I'm not up to snuff but it really sometimes feels like this bracket is some oppressive hell of dumbassery. I don't know if it's just because of the summer that the kids are out in force and they just don't give a fuck, or it's because it's the end of the season, or maybe the OW community on Xbox is on its last legs and it's nothing but trolls left lmao.

maybe youre just at the elo level your skill deservers? the fact that you main 3 situational characters should be kind of a of a giveaway
Winston is never situational. Check yo self.

hes very situational. youre playing in platinum with droolers, not GM with people who understand the game and know how to coordinate
This season ends soon right? Think I've stopped caring about my SR, just going to treat my first season as a wash. Hopefully the next one is better now that I have a 50 matches under my belt.

We still rank shaming in here eh
Maybe it'd be easier to pinpoint the source of problems if there was a scoreboard.
He wasn't able to take out ana in tank meta.Winston have always been great in taking out squishies in all metas.
So are we pulling out our dicks for measuring now?

There's 4 dps thereWell, I played 3 games tonight and won all three so I decided to quit early. I feel like I just got lucky with some of them. In the final game everyone wanted to pick defense heroes. The 5th person went mercy so I went d.va. No one chose DPS which like never happens, so I took a screenshot.
So Doomfist is like the best thing to ever happen to this game.
The satisfaction of laying hands on people is so deep, so pure. The value in his ability to just straight up remove enemy heroes from the field of play cannot be understated in a game where death timers are long and distance covered to get back into the fight is even longer. Where uptime is essential to your ability to gain and use ultimates. Being able to get 15-25 final blows every match carries great value. Even when you don't have a damage medal you're still probably securing the W with key pickoffs at key times.
Yea, I've only been playing DF for like a week. My 6 hours of Doomfist play is already more time than I've played several heroes since the game launched. I've yet to even come close to losing with him in ranked (okay that's only like 4 games but still!) and I haven't enjoyed playing a melee experience in a FPS game this much since the energy sword was new in Halo 2. The 6 hours of play have also made it very clear what sorts of comps mean it's time to switch.

Situational. LMAO.

He wasn't able to take out ana in tank meta.
Ana is the one support I hesitate to dive on as Winston. A well timed sleep dart will end you, and her grenade gives her way more sustain than other supports to Winston's tickles. Plus if you're relying on a Zen orb to sustain your dive and she anti-heals you, it's pretty much game over.

*shrugs*
I did it.
Eh Winston fucks up Ana. I play Ana a lot and Winston and Dva are her biggest problems. My point was Winston didn't work in tank meta.Ana is the one support I hesitate to dive on as Winston.

Plus if you're relying on a Zen orb to sustain your dive and she anti-heals you, it's pretty much game over.
With discord zen does 120 damage if he lands headshots. With Winstons hp and armour you got like 5 seconds to kills zen before you die assuming he lands all headshots.I'd rather dive an Ana than a Zen, discord will melt Winston pretty quickly and you end up just giving them ult charge
