I will. What time?
I'll be on at around 12:00 PM Pacific Time. If that doesn't work for you, let me know.

I have school, so tomorrow I won't be home until around 6pm probably. Any day you want to play in the evening to night time I'd be down though.
Okay, then 6:30 PM it is! I'll see you then.
While they don't have a guide for all the heroes (yet), you should definitely check out the Master Guide series on Overwatch Central.
Also, if you need any tips, feel free to ask.
Cheers! I've been maining junkrat lately just because his weapon set is so satisfying D:
Even got my first POtG yesterday with him.
yep you guessed it, RIP-Tire.

sounds like a plan
I didnt want to play with you.
lost internet connection and was to tired to log back in.... was 2 am already 
At this time, Junkrat is a very fine hero to learn. Here are some general tips:
- It's better to get in the fight when you can, and it's important to hit your grenades on targets.
- Spray and pray will keep you from getting kills, which is the issue people have with trash damage characters.
- Don't let those medals get to your head. If you're not killing, you're not being as effective as the stats/medals might make you think.
- A confirmed grenade & tossed mine will always kill every character in the game under 200 HP. This is Junkrat's go-to combo.
- Your concussion Mine doesn't hurt you. Use it as a jump booster to reach higher ground.
- Your concussion mine makes for a great escape plan. Place and detonate it between you and your enemy to space each other out.
- Keep a safe distance, Junkrat does not 1v1 well.
- Try not to spam fire if Zarya is on the other team soaking up charge.
- Don't run into your own fire, proceed through choke points with caution.
- Junkrat does not do well alone. Make sure to be with the team, don't attempt to flank behind enemies unless your team acknowledges your actions.
- Place traps on places you can capitalize and fire at as soon as you see the Triggered icon appear.
- Placing/detonating Concussive mine near/on your trap can allow you to sabotage a point and deal damage while not being there.
- Your RIP-Tire only makes noise when making forward contact with the ground, use this to trick your enemies by climbing walls with it, or waiting a few seconds idling before flanking behind enemy lines.
- You can deal a lot of damage behind cover, Points like Point B on Temple are amazing areas to fire down a lane and deal damage behind a Reinhardt/Orisa.
- Placing a trap in direct line of sight of a Reinhardt can stop a Reinhardt charge dead in it's tracks.
- Learn the maps and common routes for players. Awareness is a Junkrat player's best skill.
- Learn how to use your trap and rmine for close engagements instead of trying to setup traps. Save the trap for the same thing, stopping somebody trying to get too close.
- It's fine to set-up a start of round trap for first pick if you're on defense, but you should otherwise use them to address specific threats.
It's also a good way to stop the likes of Doomfist rocket punching you into a wall, but make sure you create some distance between yourself & the enemy DF, as there are times when his punch did connect and I die a horrible death.

If that happens, it's usually a Ping issue. Check your internet connection

Did all my Placement matches with the one and only Symmetra. Won 6 lost 4. Placed at low Platinum. That's about right.
See you next season, Overwatch.

I was ready to give up on this game but Junkrat brought me back.
He is SO much fun to play in competitive. I can actually carry games with him now.

He is king of the hill.
You no longer are damaged by your own grenades, unless you mean something else.

I need to start playing again before everyone gets into diamond. I haven't played since last week when deicide and lik helped me into platinum. Wait for me!!
I haven't played since D2 came out.

Why is it the games only started getting good at 5AM? By good I mean teams grouping up and fighting together. Not to mention two real 2,2,2 teams goung against each other 😛. Lagged out of a game and lost 50 sr. It put me in a game with golds. I played soldoer for the first time ever and destroyed. Literally had 4 golds and a bronze for healing. Had 8 deaths but 40 elims. We still came close to losing it.
I'm starting to think I only play this game for King's row. It's the only map I really enjoy. Slowly becoming a Zarya main

I take it to mean to not follow your shots in, because you're very likely to be met with people shooting there, expecting you to foolishly walk right through. Least, that's how I use him. I use his fire to bounce around corners and vary where I'm at so they can't just chase me down so easily.

Don't play in the morning afternoon too many trolls and throwers.
Weekend socks sometimes as well.
And king's row is the best map for sure.
Oh my god, I finally got the Floor is Lava achievement!
Is that it?! Is it all downhill from here?! Feel my heart, y'all....

What I meant to say, is you shouldn't wander off alone and be greedy.

Sent a friend request your way. Not sure how much I'll be on tonight. Hurricane has me playing host for the foreseeable future.

This is a terrific video. Deferring the payoffs builds a nice narrative-well done.
Oh wow. I've probably got 150 hours on the game and didn't know this.
yea, always just hit a wall for a few seconds and it fucks up enemy teams who are waiting for it.
Omg thank you I was worried it didn't work at all like I'd hoped. ^.^ you have made my day.
Because Junkrat is the new OP hotness now
Words I didn't think I would ever read.
i think people just realized that hog is still a much safer choice even before the vape buff
but idiots will keep comparing roadhog to doomfist for some reason
I've been maining him since S1 when people thought he wasn't viable at all. It won't phase me at all.

Seriously this game is kind of a mess ATM
Idk what happened but everyone I know has just like... stopped
Maybe an hour a day tops

I think that's a good amount of time for a few games and call it a night.

Do you mean Roadhog, the character with the second lowest winrate before this last patch?
Safer choice if you want to guarantee a loss, I suppose.
Sent a friend request your way. Shoot an invite if you ever see me on.
