Overwatch |OT10| That'll do pig, that'll do

Yeah, it's a little disheartening at times seeing heroes decimate the team you're on when they should have been nullified by a Junkrat. It reminds me of TF2's glory days on Engineer chokeholds or even being blocked by a great Heavy/Soldier & Medic duo. All it takes it a few blind tubes in perfect areas from a capable Demo that can destroy the position or synergy and the team moves on.

I destroyed the enemy team on Attack in Dorado as Junk. For some reason the random in our team instalocks him for Defense in the next round and keeps dying and does jackshit at stopping them at the first choke which is one of the easiest spots for Junk to protect. We end up losing.
 
That feel when you've got a good comp in the select screen, but everyone is f tier at positioning/game awareness with no noticeable time played on that character.
 
Don't play for a few days, go into deathmatch, play like shit.
Granted now I'm experiencing the hodgepodge other maps not designed for the mode it's safe to say the fun factor dropped considerably.

Got a "Sharpshooter" highlight with junk

wut

Hah, that's actually pretty impressive.

I got Sharpshooter as Bastion Tank Ult once, basically outsniped Widow and Pharah with tank rounds straight to the face.
 
Season 6 being complete trash and Destiny 2 avoidance has me messing with DOTA 2 again.

But yeah I can't play OW comp solo anymore.

I've had pretty decent success in duo/trio queue this season so far. Solo queue has definitely been hit or miss though. Stay in OW and duo queue with me, either it'll go great or misery loves company, etc etc.

Is there like a list of people on here on a given platform along with their rank? I wanna play with people on here but only know a couple peoples usernames.

Nothing makes me feel better than spawn camping a Mercy. They get so pissed, but what the fuck else can you do to prevent the team rez?

I'll definitely do it, but I'll only do it once (per map). Besides, after the first time they usually wait for an escort and that's a very different proposition.

2nd time I encounter some dude trolling in qp by running around and shooting at the floor. They always have a youtube account showing their assholeness too.What is wrong with these people? Thank god they can be reported now at least

Are losing streaks still a thing in overwatch comp? Like, if you lose several times in a row do you lose more SR each time? Or did that get fixed?

Lost to an attack Sym because our def Sym wouldn't put down her shield generator.

I don't understand. She had it for like a minute. Never put it down. WHY

Streak bonuses are effectively gone since I think it takes a lot of wins in rows for it to kick in now.

Two questions- Do console players find it impossible to get Play of the Game with Ana? I have near 70 hours with her and can count on one hand how many times I've got it and I've seen some fucking awful POTGs from other characters.

Anyone know what the next event is? Halloween?

edit: Just want to give some examples of the bad POTGs I've seen when I've done amazing things with Ana on console. I've seen POTGs with characters getting ONE kill and then the person will still die. One kill and then death isn't a good POTG. It makes me think that whatever algorithm they use to pick POTG is completely fucked.

Not talking about winning streaks, talking about LOSING streaks, where you used to lose more and more sr for when you lost games in a row. Are those still a thing?

Lose, lose, win (but only because they had a leaver), lose

*sigh*
I really wouldn't mind people who left competitive if it didn't fuck your skill rating. It still makes no sense from Blizzard. Their excuse is garbage and they should feel bad trying to convince people it's a good thing.

Yeah it's really hard from my experience. I only got it twice (3v3 and qp), the qp one was the lamest shit ever imaginable.

I think I only saw one good ana potg and it was from buttchin, I earth-shattered most of the enemy team, he threw a nade at them and hit a couple of shots and then sniped a pharah to finish it off. It was pretty cool.

He had a shitty highlight intro though... that's buttchin for you :\

Most likely, beginning of next month I guess.

I think it also applies to losses as well. I remember they took away the bonus for both sides so you don't drop like a rock and you don't rise too quickly.

OK that's good

I got some wins in now so it's OK, just don't wanna end up falling out of silver is all

Even on PC, I don't get many POTG as Ana. My last one was ult our Zarya as she Ulted alongside the other team's Zarya Ulting, Hitting the grenade on both sides and getting a full clip off.

But a shit load of POTG are thanks to me. Two of my last three games was ulting a player and supporting them the entire way through it.

Okay, so can we agree that season 6 is fucking awful?

I know it just started and everything, but I'm pretty amazed at how bad my games have been.

Is it just me being really unlucky or is it others?

Best season ever, I'm at 65% winrate after 18 games, last season was below 40% at this point.

It's mostly a matter of luck.

The randoms were nice for the most part, but when we play as a group we don't really complain if their pics are questionable unless the game is being extremely shitty (owzers picked doomfist last season so we are kinda used to it at this point).

That's disappointing to hear. I can't tell you how many time's I've boosted someone as Ana, they get a few kills and I'm still healing multiple people up from critical. Of course I don't get the POTG though. I wish Blizzard would fix this.

It's infuriating considering how many AWFUL POTGs there are.

I told you guys to quit solo q and duo at minimum if you want a better time. If you solo q, you better be a tank cuz no one ever wants to play tanks in solo q.

Yeah, but I had a good time in solo q last season.

I'm starting to approach 50 games, still sitting on that sub-40% winrate and I've lost more games than I won today alone.

Whats changed? That's what I'm struggling to understand. How is this season so different that I just get kicked in the dick this hard?

Nah. I've had some idiots in my games, but just the fact that the game finally placed me in Platinum after I've had to work my way into it since season 2 makes this season better than most.

Plus with Junkertown and the DVa and Mercy changes incoming, the meta for this season should be pretty fun.

This is true. D.Va changes are a big positive for me. I'm tempted to just drop the game until they drop, but I don't want to stop practicing.
