Yeah, I always will revive one person, but I usually wait till their about to respawn just in case another teammate dies, so I can revive both. I've had so many single revives, to then see one or two of my teammates die right after, and I know I could have waited a few seconds and still revive everyone that died.
The other day I actually ran across a team that outdamaged Transcendence, I think it was gravity well + hanzo ult + pharah ult all at once.
Last night I only did a few matches but one of them was a triple Genji team on Numbani. They were clearly organized and on voice comms but the group I was with was surprisingly decent too. At one point they did a triple dragon blade activation simultaneously and I just denied all of it with transcendence, they never took the first point. POTG was a bog standard Soldier ult...here's hoping they make it feasible for Zenyatta to get POTG some day, his highlight intros are all god tier.

Hey, I'm one of the extra 1/20 at least.
I am actually seeing like a ton of zenyatta after the widow nerf.
I've gotten a few zen potg, but it was all me just aiming really badly but getting discord kills anyway.
I got a pretty cool zen highlight intro too so that's pretty alright.
Weighting of postgame cards is a complete mess, the character-specific participation medal stats generally have too high priority while gold medals are beaten by almost everything. As Zarya I'm displayed with "Barriers applied" like 80% of the time, that shit beats even 4 gold medals consistently.
Also damage done should be given less weight the more Reinhardts there are on the opposing team.

That would look nice. I'm thinking about which characters I normally play as at the start of a game without knowing what the other team have.
I really want 1 golden weapon for one character in each class:
Gold Genji (Attack)
Gold Hanzo (Defense)
Gold D. Va (Tank)
Gold Mercy (Support)
Holy shit so true. I know it's not really a big deal and makes no difference in the game but it really does seem to show dumb statistics for certain characters. Zarya's Projected Barriers, Roadhog Hook Accuracy, Pharah Direct Rocket Hits, etc.
I understand they want to show unique stats for each hero when they can but something like 25 Projected Barriers never sounds as good as getting 3+ Gold Medals.
Zenyatta has this the worst. You get 4 gold medals and 1 silver medal. And you know what fucking card always shows up? Transcendence healing card lmao. Every fucking time. It's usually something low sounding too, like 1500 healed.
Just using Reaper ult outdamages Transcendence, though Zen can block it by being a wall in front of his allies.
And Zen is a POTG machine! I get POTG with him like 40-50% of the time. The only other hero I get POTGs as often as him is Junkrat.

Had a "fun" one last night too, Attack on Watchpoint Gibraltar where I was using D.Va. Got knocked out of my suit as I rushed the payload alone but still managed to take out the one attacker with my pistol. So I sit on the payload and wait for my team to get there to back me up.. and wait... and wait. "Shit, they're off screwing around or respawning. The enemy's gonna be here any minute to... uh... where's the other team?" I swear, I was standing on the payload, by myself as an unsuited D.Va, for what must have been a full minute. Was about ready to send out a chat message to everyone, "Guys, you do know what the POINT of this match type is, don't you?" Finally somebody showed up... and of course it was an enemy that smoked me. Still, one of the most surreal moments I'd ever had in this game, just standing calmly on the payload and wondering if I had glitched out.
I've had that as Lucio. Just waiting on the payload for most of the map as nobody contests or help.
Finally at the end the enemy team just blockaded me off at the last checkpoint with two mercy's who took turns healing each other who of course I can't kill myself as Lucio with no help.
The rest of my team and the enemy team just played COD

Wait I wonder if for Genji you have to buy 2 golden weapons: his shuriken and katana

wouldn't it be smarter to shield them as soon as the round starts? Like that you gain points and get your ult faster

Probably depends on how they code the weapon slots for inventory. It'll either be bundled together or separate.

One of the things on my giant list of Things To Improve On In Overwatch is better situational awareness all-around, but especially as Mercy. Less to figure out when to res one vs. save for a multi-res, more to decide when the enemy still poses a threat and if I'm just throwing away my res so everyone can die some more. Though the last time I did a big res, it was behind a wall, so that one's hard to judge.
I'm wondering this as well. Googled and found nothing; haven't been able to connect for a little while now.
Nah, next season will have golden skins. Literally.
It's back online now.

Hopefully bundled. If the currency is just based on wins I can possibly squeeze out getting two. But three might be pushing it. I really want Hanzo and Genji to have their items in gold.

Whoa, didn't even think of that, but that would actually make sense. Kind of like sticking turrets right next to the spawn door: probably won't kill anyone unless they're fairly thick, but it's all free ult. charge even if you just lightly burn them. Might try that next time I play, see if it gets me the teleporter much faster.

I got POTG while trapped in a Graviton Surge today.

Shit, wish I knew about the golden guns before I bought Stonehardt. Would have bought Paragon instead.
The first thing I did when I got the game was to turn off in game voice chat (PS4). Maybe that makes me a bad team player in PUG games but it's so nice to be able to play without hearing any of this abuse going on. The game is a blast even though everyone is probably cussing me out.
Yeah, I started doing that with symmetra now
It's not a huge difference but still, it's kinda useful
My voice chat is always on and trust me nobody speaks.

I got POTG yesterday with only 1 kill. It was a long range head shot 1 second into the game but it was still just the 1 kill.... Weird.
Maybe you killed someone using their ult without noticing it? That's what I did with Mercy the other day : Killed a Pharah while she was using her ult, and that's it. No rez or anything. Got POTG.

That would be impossible if it was at the start of the match.
Oh right, I missed that part.

Any way to check the outcome of games you left? I had to leave a Hanamura defense game with 50 seconds left after being Mercy and us holding B for 9 minutes. Darn delivery guy.
On the fence about that...her turrets can be really useful for holding chokepoints, and there are usually multiple exits out of spawn.
I thought mine was off all this time but it's been on. Haven't heard 1 person. PS4.
Maybe people are either in Party Chat or I'd say most people just don't care to talk anymore.
I wish there was a way to see the chat settings of your team to see if it's even worth it to turn on the mic and start talking. If I do now and the other 5 are either in a Party or Chat Off then I'd be talking to myself.

I assaulted the objective by myself as Mei and killed 3 foes and held the spot for about 15 seconds before finally getting killed. It was exciting and awesome and thought surely me alone killing 3 enemies on the objective it worth PotG.
Nope, went to Torbs turret.

It couldn't of been as it was literally as the game was starting and they first stepped foot out of their spawn.

Even if you're not in party chat, it locks you out of speaking with solo players on your team when you're in a premade group. I have no idea why this is the case.

I've had mixed results with it, but mostly positive tbh. It's the one time that I love that most random players on Attack spend the spawn time blowing up arcade machines and goofing off instead of actually looking out the windows to see what's coming. (And it's the reason why Hollywood is my favorite map to play on Defense: no windows at all, plenty of time to set up my turrets leisurely.)
It's important not to be too obvious about it: I've learned the best approach to each spawn door that gives me a minimum of visibility to the enemy, and just stick up 4 turrets (or 3 if I didn't get there fast enough) on the side of the largest spawn door that I can reach without exposing myself to the enemy. Once the match starts, usually the rest of the team keeps the enemy busy enough that I have plenty of time to set up turrets back at the first objective while they destroy my first turrets. And those few times when I hear "Double Kill" as the enemy charges out the main door and meets lasery death... oh, how I grin. Even if they only get hit a little before destroying them, I get my teleporter so much quicker since I started trapping the main spawn door. Definitely worth giving up the element of Symmetra surprise to get that quicker ult. charge, I've found.
oh, I don't do that either, I was talking about the whole ''shield at start'' thing
I usually manage to get a tele up before the other team starts a big push / contesting, and with how long symm's turrets are on CD I don't think it's worth wasting them on the front door

I think the only reason it doesn't seem as tacky as the others is because his orbs are already gold to begin with. The only difference I see is the white ring and the lack of black lining.
Surprised they didn't just make his hands gold since that's all you see.
Playing with style even if they're playing badly.
One day you will get a useless Widowmaker or two Hanzo's or a Mei that blocks you to your death or get yelled at for dying to a Q of the game.

I admit that the only reason I play mccree, reaper and junkrat is because I got their legendaries.

I'd rather they balance directly towards heroes rather than indirectly to affect anyone else.
I believe when you're playing with a skin you like, you play better. Works for me. 8)
