Finally played a few games with gaffers. Not sure which users they are tho (one was chicken something is all I remember) but fun games man, even the losing ones. Way less frustrating this way.
My psn is rathne btw
oh and I just got the Explorer skin for Winston...looks awesome but I have not played as him. Maybe I should now lol
Holy shit. Sorry to hear that mate. This stupid system is broken as hell.

I think winston is super underrated. His ability to just fuck up the offense's rhythm and scatter the enemy team is so good.
Just hope there's no reaper or a good tracer around.

Thanks to this, today I learned that apparently Reinhardt can also charge into an allied self-destructing mech. I thought he could only do that with enemy ones!
Winston the underrated hero that is consistently doubled up on in competitive play?

Yeah, I think that's my main problem: I leap in and try to do as much damage as possible, and forget to leap out before the enemies take me down. A lot of my problem when I play Winston, and most of the tanks, is that I have to remind myself that "lots more health than the average character" doesn't mean "infinite health." But yeah, sounds like a lot of it comes down to timing, and knowing when to move in and when to pull out. Thanks for the info.
While on the subject: mad props to a Winston I played against tonight who actually managed to leap up and take down my Pharah in mid-air. Winston is usually prime rocket fodder (that bubble of his only takes a few hits before coming down) but damn if he didn't catch me by surprise with that one.
Connectivity and voice fixes..
Gonna be a fun match.
widowway is the new meta
It's just time played. There are people even higher than that who don't know to play the objective or act like the biggest pieces of shit alive.
max level you can go without getting a legendary skin is 25.
you're hitting the max hahaha

Well I don't watch competitive. Its kind of dull to me as a competitive viewing game. There's too much going on in terms of hero abilities and strats.
I can watch something like CS:GO because there's less going on moment to moment, and the matches wind down either a withdrawal and victory, or a tense standoff.
overwatch is kind of just too busy for spectating.

Zarya's ult is incredible--pretty much a guaranteed kill against anyone hit. It just takes so long to charge up...
And speaking of Zarya, I finally found a tank that can handle Mei. 'Tis glorious.
Lol. Is that the maximum number of "tips" you can get?
and is that a Guild Wars 1 meta reference?

No big red "too many of one character" on there, so the team must have been crafty and mixed it up with Widow and Hanzo. Victory is assured.
On the same subject: I really wish the game would still pop up "No Support Heroes" when I'm picking Symmetra. Guys, I know that 25 points of Shield is nice and all, but we're probably gonna need an actual healer if we're going to win.
THe pity timer is not that high, you might have gotten gold and not noticed it

Yes.
You should revive one person if your team has the momentum and you need to stay strong for a team fight, or you have a reliable source of meter so you can get your revive back expediently. However, never revive a single player if they died while out of position because they'll probably just die again trying to get back to your team.
I take most double revives and I think every triple revive. Mercy gets meter really quickly and doesn't usually have much reason to question this kind of situation.
You should almost never take a revive - unless it's for three or more - if you think you will come out of the animation dead, however. This is just setting up your team for failure.
It's actually to do that while standing on the god forsaken point.

Zarya's ult + anybody's ult = destruction.
i was known to play some GW1 in my day.
Gonna be a fun match.
I ignore those messages. Can still do well without playing every class. Wish I could turn it off.

So
In playing Rhein and me and the team need to push into a defended position.
Shields up. I expect them to follow me in all nice and safe while they shoot the other team.
It's when I get to the center of the objective I realize I am alone.
You gotta be frickin kidding me.
Also if someone is playing Mercy and they stop upping your damage or healing you to shoot at the target while you do next to nothing. That means you have no idea how to play the game and need to rerun through the tutorial.

Funny enough, using the particle barrier (while being frozen by Mei's Endothermic Blaster) will free the player from the slowing effects of freezing. I'm unsure if this also works with Snowball creating a Blizzard, however.

Oh boy 1000 credits. What should I buy?
Devi Symmetra?
Ra Zenyatta?
Something else?

What you want is a "No Healers" pop up instead then cuz she's totally a support hero.

Blue Ra. Do it.
Do pubs not read chat? On the Russia map I tell the team that I'll sneak around as Tracer, and when they all leave the choke point to defend the objective, to rush in. No response, I run over, check to see if no one is dead, the rush the point, most of the enemy team rush over to the point, my idiot team is at the choke point fighting their Rein, the only one who didn't run back to fight me.
Quite pleased with this little run as D.Va.
Starts off pretty standard. I drop a worthless ult around half-way...
But then when there's like 10 seconds left on the clock I just go YOLO.

yes matchmaking, please put me with level 5 players at level 58
(I'm not that good but I'm not that terrible either)
(I'm not that good but I'm not that terrible either)
Yeah, I'm completely against having his mine damage him. It would ruin his ability to reach vantage points. His grenades doing damage to himself are enough.
I don't like any mercy alts...

Then it's decided!
I got the blue Ra one today myself

Level 46 right now. Currently have 9 legendaries, 5 epic skins, and another 1500 coins from loot boxes. I think I've used all of my luck from other games.
Reaper is incredible on a map that has a lot of verticality and narrow paths like Numbani. I think I always have 20+ eliminations on that map alone. Ambushing healers and snipers by teleporting and jumping from the higher platforms is so fun.
