I'm actually surprised at the ones I've managed to get done already. The Zenyatta/Winston ones are stupid as hell though and probably the only roadblock I don't think I could get. The wallride Lucio one is dumb too.

Same. I feel like many pub games are exactly this.

Well the point is if you leave a match mid-game because you're "not having fun" due to the team not being great then you're compounding the problem by leaving, and it's selfish.
Leaving a match because you have other "real life responsibilities" going on is also selfish when the rest of the team is dedicating their time to see it through. If you can't block off/commit dedicated time then you probably shouldn't be playing a competitive team-based multiplayer game.
If it's once in a while, then whatever, the penalty probably doesn't matter to you. If you are routinely needing to duck out mid-match, then I can see the penalty being annoying, but that's how it's supposed to work.
I'm in the "the penalty should be harsher" camp.
His wheel2win pisses me off every time. I need to get my headset's 7.1 drivers working properly so I can hear where it's coming from better.
they are fast rounds, you dropping and it finding, loading a person in and then them having to pick a class and run to the objective destroys that teams chances.
You may have payed 60 dollars for the game, but the rest of the team payed 300 and you are fucking them over. So the punishment is severe and should be higher IMO. No one forced you to buy the game, but when you're in it you follow the rules set before it
Yeah man, my w/l ratio dropped by 4 fucking percent in the past 2 hours. Am I so low ranked that Blizzard can't arrange easier matches?

Game feels different. Have I just gotten lucky with randoms before today? Constant doubling up on heroes, me and my friend were on a team of 4 Symmetras in king of the hill...
Was just playing and our Lucio switched to Reinhardt in the middle of the game, and I was already Reinhardt! I switched to Lucio and he switched to Junkrat...
My W/L ratio is getting hammered lately. I barely have more wins than losses.

I find it a bit funny that so many players have hard-ons for nerfing certain heroes. I have yet to encounter any that there isn't a counter for in one way or another. It's not that tough, folks: read the enemy and adapt.
I feel like most complaints come from players who play one hero in one way and don't like it when that approach doesn't work like they think it should.

Yeah, you paid as much as anyone else, you're not special, if you're not having fun in a particular match stay or leave, your call, but don't be surprised you're penalized for it if you do it too much.
If you can't stay long enough for 10 minute matches you shouldn't be queueing up in a competitive team game. Games and matchmaking being fast doesn't mean those 5-10 seconds your team was 5v6 can't cost them a round or a match.
Drop in is meant to salvage matches, not to give people carte blanche to leave as they please.

I know =( I love my Widowmaker Odette costume, but Lucio has absolutely nothing good. It sucks, as he's my favorite hero to play.
They are atrociously ugly, it's a shame they chose those as half of the legendaries. The hockey ones are also terrible.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Yup, play Lucio the most; but think I'm gonna buy a Viking skin for Mercy, anyway.
Wow I did like 8 matches today, and all but 1 are victories lol.
Didn't her shields get a nerf during beta? I love that you can send them to whoever doesn't have it on the fly, but yeah I wonder how much of a impact it really does.

Fixed.
I've just discovered the power of Winston. My word, with a healer at his back he's an absolute nuisance. I've also finally learnt to play Genji well. Nothing more satisfying than double-jumping off walls and raining shurikens down on the enemy before swiping in for the kill. This game is amazing.
A bit annoyed tonight though that my crap games seemed to attract more votes than my good games. Maybe I need to start voting for myself, something I've so far resisted to do. Just feels wrong.

Yup. I'm not even in the slightest bit "good" at this game. I can hold my own - sometimes I get rocked; other times I get a nice streak or POTG. But I just don't understand all the calls for nerfs/buffs.
Bruh.
They're all dumb!
Lol, yeah they all are pretty stupid. but those ones are a step above dumb.

Yeah, my last few sessions have been pretty bad for my record, too. I've noticed that as my rank goes up and the groups I'm set up with get a bit more skilled, random matches seem fairly stacked in Defense's favor. If I'm on an Attacking team against a group with even a halfway decent defense set up, it feels like lambs to the slaughter as nobody can manage to coordinate a good strategy and everybody keeps running into the meat grinder. Don't get me wrong, I do love doing my part on defense as Symmetra (just got a PotG literally seconds after being killed, as two enemies ran into my turrets and died, were rezzed by Mercy... and then died again to the turrets. It was glorious), but I'd love to be able to mount some sort of offense without getting shredded by teams of Torbjorns and Bastions.
I dunno. As much as I still love this game, I get this bad feeling that I'm going to find myself skilled out of it fairly soon. But I'll try to do my best until then, I suppose.
agreed, none of his legendaries are any good
Do you guys just go to the Overwatch google doc and add random people there for your platform? I'm on ps4, id Owzers, no mic, and am trying to get more people to avoid all randoms. Some of these games today were pretttttttttttty bad, and i know i'm not great, but i'm getting better at trying to stick together and people seem to be running off all in all directions and there were some really ugly capture the point games.

That's why you don't have healers on your team lol

Same, homie. I am not a hotshot by any stretch and yet even against better teams I have never felt like poor hero balance contributed to losing. 100% of the time, it is the enemy playing better.

The problem is the sooner you adapt another player comes and kills you with a class that counters yours. And remember this is a game where you can't carry a crappy team.
I also don't think this game needs nerfs. It needs better matchmaking.
That sounds exhausting. *tunes in*
Lmao what channels are doing this

Yea it's at the point where grouping with a team of six that isn't good/doesn't play together much/has less experienced players. Is actually bad, because my level 39 is gonna match against other groups of 6 who are similar level.
At least solo you usually play with 11 other solo players. I've hardly won at all in groups of 3 or more today.
I also feel like my opponents are getting better much more quickly than i am.
It's unspeakably bad. Like beyond hideous. Makes me want to play Mercy more, haha.
Hopefully Lucio will get more costumes down the line.
Doesn't that describe all legendary costumes besides the Origins ones.

Hi!
Could someone kindly make this into an avatar for me?

I didn't see it made into an avatar earlier in the thread.
Thanks a lot!

I fully agree that it needs better matchmaking.
But as far as enemies adapting after you do... Well if both teams can adapt, then the team that plays better wins. If all things are equal, this will most often be the case.

Well I finally tried Genji or whatever my mans name is tonight and I think I have a new personal favorite. 19 Eliminations my first match using him which for me is really pretty good, I am not a killing machine by any means using any other character. Think my best overall in a round is 24 with Pharah. Something about Genji just clicked really well and I realized, as I do with every single character, I did not use his E skill, in his case deflection, once either. I really need to remember to use E skills and with him especially now I need to figure out how to use it.
I think all the maps are well done... but after yesterday and today i could go without playing Hollywood, Temple of Anubis, and Volskaya industries for quite a while as these three maps have been popping up non stop.
I haven't played Dorado, Kings Row, or Hanamura since Friday and thats over multiple hours with very minimal lobby swapping.

Yeah, I've noticed a weird lack of variety in maps lately, too. I can't remember the last time I've played Route 66, to be honest, and Temple of Anubis seems to come up over and over again. And as one of the maps where, as I said a few posts a go, an even halfway-skilled defense can lock down against a team that's not coordinated, it's not been fun.

Everyone seems to have a complaint about attacking on like every map. Is there any map that people enjoy attacking on?
Dude. His mobility and damage are great, but combining those things with his deflect can be epic. Use it! Best Bastion counter there is, and deflecting a Hanzo or Pharah Ult is the shit.
He is also my fav hero.
all the teams running double mccree on both offense and defense must really like him during every tournament. They must really like that cowboy roleplay not because there is something seriously the matter with him
