what about the beginning of a match? what's the latest point you can quit without getting a loss?

I always think I can do better, I try to improve, as mercy I was amazing at healing and assist, but didnt do anything at offence, last week I mansged to average 5 kills with mercy topping at 12 in one game. With Lucio I think Im doing poorly if I get less than 2 gold medals and 10 eliminations.
You can leave during setup but not when you actually load into the map in the pre game.

No, not really, it's the main thing propping up her kit as is.

Unboxed B.Va. Actually a skin I might've spent money on.

Mcree is good in the hands of good players, but shit in the hands of bad players.
Soldier is good in the hands of any player. His normal weapon is much more forgiving, he has a self heal, and his ult is much much easier to use and doesn't leave him completely open to enemy fire.
Both are good, one is just much easier to use.
Guess we'll just disagree? No cast time, no LoS needed, still goes through if she dies...seems good.
lol, I was next to you and saw this, good shit.

I have never seen a res fail if she dies while doing it?

I'd say that the pharmercy pair up with damage amp is more than enough to prop her up because that shit is cray.
I had it happen to me, but it must be within half a second of her cast.
I play Mercy a lot and it fails if I die at the beginning of using it.

If you hear "Heroes nev-", then a Mercy was killed mid ult and no one was revived. Mercy doesn't lose the ultimate charge though when it does fail.
Guess I was wrong, I've still never heard/seen it personally. Console players too slow to kill her.
I do suicide res charges a lot and haven't seen it fail but good to know I guess.
The only time the LoS thing bugs me is the very end of Watchpoint Gibraltar. Since the spawn is under the final payload point I once got a triple res right as I respawned since the corpses can be right above you.

They could solve that by making a same floor level requirement.

Class act, I will have to give that a go next time I am Roadhog on that map.
Wasn't aware that you could change the tank UI to the healer UI, guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow for Zarya.
Symmetra, Winston, D.Va, Reaper, and Junkrat don't require high precision to kill enemies. You will need to get up close though to kill anything for most of those heroes though. Stay in the back when playing Junkrat. When on Symmetra, let your turrets do most of the work and then go in up close with your primary fire when they're low on health.
Might also want to try Torbjorn. He requires some precision to kill enemies with his primary fire but he also has a turret that will do most of the work for you, is able to build armor for himself and the team, and his alt fire is a short range shotgun blast.
Now I feel bad for taking new characters into Freeplay right away. I usually start with a character I already know how to play and if the team is complete shit and I know I won't be able to carry it anyway I just switch to a character I wanna learn.
Which is probably not the best mentality lol, but I feel like I learn characters best under pressure.
I got the architect skin for symmetra, but damn I wish it was the goddess. might be my favourite skin but sym seems so level/team dependent that I dunno if I want to drop 1000 on it.
right at the last push of a map at the weekend, someone told me my symmetra was useless and to go lucio or mercy. As soon as the game ended (we won quite comfortably) I had around 20 sentry kills and 19 teleports :/

Had a pretty good night. Its always fun to be running solo and getting people on mic, though usually its because someone on the other team is getting mad, and this was no exception 
I need to just start adding fun people like that, almost nobody chips in when I get on mic
I also need to just record entire games with obs, this is the 3rd time my replays got "corrupted" (camera bugs out, makes replay worthless), missed a great round of tracer plays

Try Junkrat, Winston and Torbjorn.
I think I accidentally fell into D.Va main? I'm accidentally really good at her.

urgh, every time i load the game up it launches in window mode so i need to keep setting it to full screen. anyone else getting this? how do i fix it?
If you hit play in the battlenet thing then open internet browser or something else while it's loading it automatically starts in windowed, guessing it's that?

It isn't ever time, but like one out of five times I open the game it goes into windowed mode and has to be adjusted. Similar thing happens when I minimize the game, it sometimes goes to a window when I click back to it and sometimes not. It seems really random as to why this is happening so I haven't been able to figure out why this is occurring.
I have that problem too, but I also have a problem where sometimes it changes my Vsync setting to be 84, vs the 144 that i prefer with the monitor I have. Very annoying.
You can switch between fullscreen and widow mode with alt+enter. It doesn't fix the issue but is slightly less of a hassle than going to options every time.
I actually use this as a replacement for borderless window. Fullscreen runs smoother for me but to browse the internet during breaks/waiting I switch to widow mode since alt+tab would minimize the game instead of running in the background.

Is this the secret mode that forces people to pick widow for every game?
Yeah it's called quick play

So, after putting in a couple more hours with Zenyatta, he's starting to click with me. It took me way too long to figure out that he can throw discord orbs without interuptting his left click, which is a game changer.
When you're simultaneously healing, debuffing, and doing lots of damage, you start to realize what makes him good.
I also realized that he doesn't have any footsteps, which lets you just float over and kill snipers sometimes, which is really funny. You can charge up your right click and kill a bastion pretty quickly too.
Overall, I feel like I've turned a corner with him, he's really fun.

I hope they restrict the number of heroes in competitive play, I don't want to see this again.

Pull out bastion.

"Propping up."
After the Widowmaker/McCree nerfs, Seagull (and presumably other pros) mention Mercy's rez as being overpowered and too essential to leave out of a comp.

I had to fight against an all Lucio team yesterday while I was attacking on Anubis.
That last point was damn annoying to cap, but we got it eventually lol.
