random teams are starting to bug me more and more. Hoping competitive catches the interest of my friends because it's more fun with them, but they don't play every night.
I keep thinking I should catch up on UC4, guilty gear etc...then I boot up Overwatch again.
he actually does say 'gaze into the iris' but not during his ult.
also I just noticed I'm quoting a post from a few pages back but hey whatever I wanted an excuse to post this.

So this happened to me today.
We somehow, through all odds managed to win.
I know I got the ultimate quote wrong

The SEA servers are part of the Americas region so you'll sometimes get unlucky and get matched with an Aussie or US server. If you want more reliable ping Asia might be a better region, but it's mostly Koreans and Chinese.
I honestly had no idea her dash could go up in the air like that. I thought it was like Reinhardt's but with more steering. I've actually seen D.Vas do it in games, but I thought it was some sort of propulsion thing, like how you can clear gaps with Reinhardt's dash. I didn't think you could just suddenly fly up in the air from anywhere. It's ironic since DVa is one of my most successful characters. THE FLOODGATES HAVE BEEN OPENED
I'm glad I'm not the only who sees this. I am lvl 41 and I get matched with 60+ and even people who are above lvl 100 and a lot of these people don't understand how to play or how to work as part of a team. Shit is baffling to me. I've seen lvl 120 something Pharah's who don't go after turrets or use the flying ability at all. They just camp the starting choke point and spam rockets while grounded, hoping to get a kill. I have picked Reinhardt, thrown up the shield, and have had ppl tell me to move out of the way. And these were high lvl players.

I sure hope so.
if they want to win, yes
Capturing point A on Hanamura as Tracer, from zero to cap and no enemy bothering to go have a look.
A Torbjorn had a lvl 1 turret nearby but I could hide from it behind the bell.
Sometimes I really wonder how many people are playing TDM on purpose or just don't seem to understand the concept of these gamemodes...

Some teams just get WAAAAY too aggressive and push up ridiculously far right up in people's spawn doors. I always hate seeing that on my own team, there's really no reason to go beyond the big door on Hanamura, it'll just get someone picked off and during a push you're already down a person.
I do love doing this on Volskaya A as Genji or something, go around the left side right onto the point and pull everyone back. I still barely see anyone actually cover that part.
Yeah I hate the mentality that you have to meet the team at their spawn point. Heroes like Tracer and Reaper are fine for doing that as they're best off flanking or attacking the enemy from behind but it's unnecessary for the whole team to do so.

Wow they did a job on Mccree. His damage was really all he had.
I feel like I'm the only one who plays Reaper as Objective Man and Designated Mercy Protector. He's not bad as a flanker type but he's no Tracer, also gets owned by turrets. I always do super well as him playing him by sticking with the team. Nothing is worse than Tracers and Winstons coming after you as a healer and Reaper can deal with those easily.

I wish I could choke people through the monitor, game is about 5 seconds from starting and our Mercy swaps to an attack Widow leaving us with no healer (I was the tank before someone tells me to switch to healer).
this Japanese overwatch stream has been pretty entertaining www.twitch.tv/overwatchjapan
cant understand a damn thing (other than GORILLA GORILLA when double Winston shows up lol) and yet the commentary feels strangely great

It's not awful if someone takes the lead. Orrrr you can play with my playgroup. We have 10 or 12 people we cycle through whenever we have time. Add me I'm

Edit: Assuming NA and PC. I always forget there are other ways to play.
If you are a calm and collected person you will do just fine. I suggest at least to learn to play one hero in each role though (Attack, Defense, Tank, Support) and be very active in the decision making area.

Now even my whites and blues are dupes
-_-

it can be tough at beginning since newbies dont really know the team comps and matchups. So definitely higher difficulty than your avg shooter but highly rewarding once you've dedicated some hrs.
If you do get it- I recommend starting up in Weekly brawl. This week's is Soldier 76 giving you good chance to master him
yeah all the time I get white, white, blue, white no lie. And never get any dupes (and when I do its only worth 15 coins). RNG is vicious as fuk

Yeah, four or five golds, or MVP, will get my vote almost every time. You don't seem MVP very often, but it really does mean a consistently dominating performance.
Have you tried clicking the left mouse button?

Sounds good guys.
I think I will want Mercy as my main, I really like playing as a healer/buffer .
I am PC/Europe btw.

i don't get your digs, you realize you can switch heroes any time you hit h right?
this isn't an mmo.
The people you so desperately hate are probably playing pharrah or junkrat right now.

Mcree is dunzo. Has to be behind shield or pocket healer to be effective.
Experiment, don't stick to a main too much. All the heroes in this play fantastically.
MErcy is great fun and an awesome choice to start with

Main fire is incredibly strong and he got a reload buff. Blizzard didn't want FtH to be his main move like it was. It's a little harder to take out beefier characters, but it didn't really make sense for him to delete those characters entirely to begin with.

Boom, bought!
I like that the download isn't gigantic.

People care about POTG way too much considering how kill influenced it is. I've seen 3 worthy POTG that decided a match in the 100 matches I've played.
Also, is it just me or east coast PS4 GAF fallen off? I used to see my friends list filled with Overwatch and now it's 2 tops?

I'm torn on if they should limit heroes in competitive mode. On the one hand someone shit might pick widowmaker or something, but then if you have two widowmakers you're going to lose anyway. Whereas playing against two Winston's is really boring. I'm leaning more to limit the heroes to 1 per team in competitive mode like the tournaments are starting to do, then have Blizzard balance the classes around that, so things like Winston's shield can be buffed.Things like that where they no longer have to balance around there being 2+ of a character should help.

It's not even mcree vs tank characters, it hurt him a lot against other characters. I'll probably opt to play any of the other offensive heroes over him, reaper is a much better pick in every way now imo. Mccree is a weird character in that his whole thing was being a glass cannon, and now the gap between him and the other offensive heroes is non existent. I mean you can make him work, but it'll be a novelty like DVA is right now. I don't see the issue with mcree being a tank melter because it's not like he offered anything more than just damage, and there aren't a ton of tank melters in the game already.
It's probably just an unlucky streak for me, but the last game for me had all sub 30's on my team (even a level 7) versus all +30's and a 99.
I know it's purely a time investment for rank but I'd think whatever hidden mmr they'd use would be more calibrated? It's probably something dumb like team queue's are given an artificial mmr boost even if they're all completely new.

McCree doesn't have a left mouse button. /s

I haven't played D.Va since the first day and figured I'd give her a go, I'm doing a day of my least played heroes today so her and Hanzo will see some play from me.
And obviously our Lucio with 58% on fire gets MvP because he clearly did more than me. Oh and we lost, naturally.

i think her survivability is fine, she just needs better/more consistent damage. if they reduced her weapon spread just a bit and increased her movement speed while firing i think she'd be in a good place.

How is he a glass cannon compared to any of the other 200 HP or less characters? His flashbang is basically an out against anyone who gets near him.
Zenyatta is the only character in the game who deserves the glass cannon title imo.
tell me about it. Join a match, it's a match in progress, and it just finished on a defeat. 3 of the team players are under level 10.
leave game leave game leave game

There is no penalty for joining an in progress match tho? It's free XP.
Though I have no issues with McCree now and so okay with him with the same results most of the time, I agree. Its a lot more effective to grab a reaper and just hold the fire button while closing in on an enemy. Fought a team that went double reaper, I guess because of the McCree nerf?
