Can't stop me, Legacy! Let's lose some more together!
I should have stopped after the 3rd loss (I think 2 is too harsh, because 2 lost matches is a coincidence. It's 3 that establishes the pattern). I usually do, but I was bored and just wanted to get some good matches. I mean, it's not like I was upset at losing, at first.
But after the 7th lost match in a row, I went full sunk cost fallacy. After 7 matches in a row, a Win has to be right around the corner, right? Then after the 10th I was just stunned at the lack of luck.
It's like that bit in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern where he flips a coin like 100 times and because there is a 50/50 chances, it should come up heads at some point but he just keeps landing tales 100 times in a row.
But I'm not really that mad about the SR loss. I'm currently at 2650. Still in Plat, which is where my skill level is at anyway. I'll start panicking when I'm close to eating Gold again.

Ha, we have some good sessions sometimes but depends I think on which of your friends are in the stack at the time! I'll most likely be on Destiny 2 this week but will give you and Yager a shout when I feel the comp itch.
This is exactly how it happened for me, I was stunned at the fact I was just unable to win a game and just kept going because I refused to sleep on a loss! I guess these things need to happen once in a while to remind us when to call it quits.
I will be leaving to study in the UK in two days so need some time to settle in first. Xbox coming with me of course!
gee thanks!

As someone who recently got this game, prior to summer right after the Uprising event (rip Mercy skin) and already reached 450 lvl I've gotten into comp in season 5 and got placed mid gold reached platinum and this season after losing 7 placement matches, 1 draw and 2 wins got placed in high gold and reached platinum, deranked to gold due to losing 5 and got to platinum again and eugh. Had alot of good matches but the ones where people just insist on being widow and hanzo piss me off so much because most of these people are absolute garbage. Sure, I play Widow for lulz sometimes in QP (idk how I have 12 hours with her, prob bcs I want that trophy) but geez sometimes it's a pain being paried up with these fools in comp.
Love this game but sometimes I just loathe it.

You seem to be doing fine solo. Almost Masters.
Always open to more duo.
I would be mid-Diamond by now if the SR bonus was still in effect. They had to take that away when Junk finally got a nice buff. Oh well.
At least he didn't say Cappaless Latewatch.
He only said Pinku because he knows Pinku doesnt post on Gaf!!!
What time Eastern do you guys play anyway?
Usually 8pm est, it was only Pinku and I doing terrible qp games yesterday then I returned for latewatch.

It's funny that I know flex picking is terrible for personal SR gain when in solo que, but I continue to do it for little gain.
Just kidding, it's not funny. I'm an idiot.

Around 11pm, maybe 10pm if Earlywatch was initiated instead of 8pm.
Flexing is the way to go if you can do it. The bonus SR isn't really all that impressive anyway. You gain a few digits more at most.
Or in some cases, 1AM. I see you.
About 4am GMT for me

Howww it's night and day especially for our Tracey. Maybe it's just more noticeable going back. My eyes are whinging when I play at my friend's.
I probably tried playing some hot graphics showcase (Horizon) first and when I went back to OW it just looked like OW lolAbout 4am GMT for me

eh, maybe. Anything gold or below, you can carry to get yourself up to plat. Once you hit plat/diamond, it's more luck of the draw on your team if you're solo q'ing.
Just played a tracer match this morning. Won it, which is good for my psychological state. Was a close one too, though I don't think it would have been if my team had communicated. Still, I'm back on the tracer ball.
However, did they fuck with the aiming again? I've switched to dual zone and I got a couple hours practice in, so I had thought that I was used to it by now, but I noticed myself overtaking a lot of shots, even easy ones. Did something change?

Pretty much. Sometimes you get annoying players who think they're the leader and telling people what to play and what to do. Obnoxious.
Seems like every time I boot up the game now, something feels a lil off with Dual Zone now. Not sure what's going on.
Hmm. Weird for me to read that, because I play on OG PS4, screan tearing is one of the things that bothers me the most in video games, and I've never noticed it in Overwatch.
I'm not sure I want to go looking for it though, because if it IS there and I've just never noticed it before, I won't be able to not see it anymore.
Screen tearing on the PS4 version is usually most noticeable during times where you're intently focused on actually playing the game (team fights). It's for sure there, though, I remember it clearly.
I mentioned in the megathread thread in Blizz forums. Playing hitscan right now with the Dual Zone issues is not a good idea if you haven't adjusted. I'll only swap if we're desperate for one against someone like Pharah or we need more DPS against tanks. Altho Junk is more than capable right now at destroying tanks (well, for me it is).
Playing on OG PS4 and I don't notice any screentearing whatsoever.

On OG there was a lot of screen tearing on Oasis. Didn't notice any on other maps, remember there's slow downs during team fights though

Saw that you were one game away from masters, that sucks :\
I lowered my sensitivity a bit using the hog secondary fire as my point of reference (until I was 100% confortable leading my shots) and I was actually surprised at my tracking yesterday. My Zen games were also better than ever with 42% average weapon accuracy, had a 4KDR with him which is way higher than usual, even if that doesn't mean much in this game.

I have both PS4s and alternate between them, depending on which account I'm playing. I see no visual difference with OW, except the Pro has little half-second black screen hiccups every once in a while.
I'm down. When will you be online?
I stuck to all the same settings. So lowering it helps? I may do that.

I had to do it since I couldn't control my aim at my usual sens. Tried linear/exponential but gave up.
Welp, I as reading right to left and it wasn't making any sense lol
Fun comic, Hog is actually reliable there.
Too much manga? I know how that goes lol
Pre-nerf Hog.
Really? I've seen Sym plenty of times and only win once. I rarely feel comfortable engaging her by myself, but she's easy to avoid and then later scavenge.
Kinda infuriated with comp matchmaking right now. I'm trying to get placements and three games in row I'm put in with team members with 8-50h playtime. It's not their fault that they don't have the experience and the needed muscle memory skills that comes with it, but why am I put in with them? All three games were the kind of apocalypse roflstomps where the best thing to do would have been to just collectively throw the game in order to let the nightmares end quicker. It's like the matchmaking didn't even try.
I mostly lurk in this thread these days just to keep up with what's going on out there in Overwatch world. I see and hear a lot of salt over Comp and I completely understand because I was there myself at one point. I'm actually having fun with the game again but I am sticking to mostly Mystery Heroes in the Arcade and have avoided Comp like the plague.
Mystery Heroes seems to eliminate most all of the salt and toxicity and seems to allow folks just to have fun and do the best they can with whatever Hero they have been given. It's also allowed me to "try" some heroes I normally wouldn't without fear of letting my team down.
Some day I might go back to Comp but for now, Mystery Heroes is definitely my jam.

I love that Blizzard depicted Roadhog as more level-headed than he appears in-game. We finally got to see that he has his own motives, reasoning, and beliefs for things he does and how he sees the world. That side of him adds so much to his character. That, and he's the type of intellectual that chooses his words super carefully. Which makes him even more terrifying.
We also learned that the Queen had a grudge against him for unspecified reasons, long before he and Junkrat ever teamed up. And the "Junkrat hired Roadhog as a bodyguard" is basically 100% bullshit because the truth is that he just saved Junkrat from a bar brawl.
