For anyone new still whining about Bastion:
The bird with a straw and mug is a nice touch.
Don't think it's on your end. I've gotten like three battle.net disconnects in the last 45 minutes on ps4.
Edit: Real fucking nice. Now I'm seeing a warning about a penalty for leaving matches early because of these stupid disconnects.

Just had an epic pub KOTH match where two out of the 3 games went to 99% overtime on both sides and it was an all out brawl. We lost, but it was fun as hell. 20 eliminations and 16 objective kills with Zenyatta and didn't get a medal for either - that's how many bodies were falling.
People with higher levels are rarely picking up Bastion anymore. I'm at level 45 and i see him in 2 or 3 times out of 10 defense teams. He's too easy to counter.

I guess I'm an alright Zenyatta ranked at #3,157 compared to all my other heroes that are 15,000+. I don't know that seems good maybe I'm just really bad on everyone else and just okay with Zen.
He's good to change to every once in awhile if the opposing team has already been built without bastion counters. Catch people off guard.

Isn't it based pretty much entire on how much you play a character though?
Afaik, you could be the worlds best at a character, but if someone has played the character twice the amount you have, you're gonna be ranked below that person pretty much no matter what.
Yeah I'm already feeling at level 17 that Bastion is getting countered so easily. Teams are always running 2-3 Bastion counters and systematically target him. That's why I need a new defensive hero lol.
unless the first guy fucks up badly or you do it from outside his line of sight you will die if you try this

Why don't they change the character select portraits to the legendary skins if you have them? The portrait when the game starts has the legendary skin, but not when you're selecting your character. Just a minor thing I noticed. I want people to see my sweet skins.

Score per minute I don't feel like is a very accurate measurement. I say this because I am rank 192 for hanzo, and I am not very good with hanzo.

Just found out I'm ranked #158 Tolbjorn lol.
There's jokes about No Skill, but honestly, knowing the right place to put turrets is a skill on it's own.
Ranked #446 Reinherdt as well. Guess these are my two mains lol

That appears to be the only Overwatch figure they sell too lol
For anyone new still whining about Bastion:
My head cannon for these two has always been the little borb being the pilot controlling Bastion. Aviator cap & all.
Could be a shared computer. I know when TF2 came out my computer was in use 24/7 because people would come in and play when I wasn't there. It was really neat to have all these awesome stats as characters I never played (sniper, spy).

I'm talking about points per second not overall score. I really don't know if that's good measuring tool either though.
Never implied otherwise.
So how are you guys finding GAF groups on PC? I sit in the Discord server and ask to group up but no one seems to chat on their ever. Really looking to move away from solo queue! (Battle tag is Ace1991#11948 if you want to add me)
Anyone?

Mystery Heroes is a great time waster, good way to practice new heroes and I'd really like it to stay. Today I've discovered the joys of Zenyetta, I probably wouldn't have give him a proper look if I hadn't been forced to.
I feel like it should be a KOTH only mode though. Payload is often a steamroll.

There are different sub groups for different region in there.
I found most people from there and now I just see if they are online ingame and invite them or ask them through the battle.net chat.
There's a google document in the OP with a lot of people to add and group with.

It's not KOTH only? Huh. Every time I've played it so far I've gotten a KOTH map so I thought that was on purpose.
Like the Adjudicator in Demon's Souls?
When Torb asks "Can I take a look at your little robot?" in pre-game I thought he was talking to bastion's bird. Absolutely zero respect for robots from that dude.
I think he was actually talking to Mei but it's better more insulting this way lol.

As many have pointed out you kind of need teamwork at hand to take on more than one turret if you are dealing with good bastions or tjorns. Most combo of a tank and offense/defensive character can get the job done. I also find a sniper can do it, if you are playing with bad bastions or tjorns you can pretty much do it solo. As a Hanzo player i find scatter shot is great for damage or banking it off walls to weaken them, then Poke in for the finish. If they are good i try to use the sonic arrow to sort of call out tjorn/ bastion turrets that teammate can't see or often overlook. If you have a healer or tank backing you can do some damage with hanzo.

I have no idea how good rank, say, 4,500 is in score per minute. Give me percentiles please!
I feel super lucky I got all those trophies on the first day. That and stacking all my old TF2 buddies. Lol
I am pretty sure it is harder to pull of now.
They sure as fuck are. I now have a leaver penalty and receive 75% less XP because of these disconnects.
this is why I don't play torbjorn or symmetra.. in theory they can be saviors of the game. but you have to understand LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
symmetra I'm on the verge of giving more time with.. especially on defense. I have some really nice thoughts on initial choke points for her that I want to give a try.
torb to me always came off as a little more difficult being you can only put his on the ground, and you have to keep it somewhere where it has line of site, but not super obvious. I mean your best bet seems to be to line it up behind the initial defense hold so its attacks get blended in with the rest of the team.

I had a clutch save earlier as Lucio where a D.Va launched her nuke bot at me and two of my teammates. I got my ult right as it started to blow up. "Let's break it down!" Nuke exploded a millisecond after the shields went up. Saved all three of us and got the Supersonic trophy.
I wish this kind of stuff ended up on POTG - that's what I'd like recognized as awesome gameplay over kills.

12 hours as Lucío and not one of my game saving Qs have made it to PotG. I cry myself to sleep every night.

In 25 hours of playtime I've seen one Lucio POTG :|
All but one of my Lucio POTG has been knocking multiple people off of the map, that's your best bet at getting it with him. So close to being number one on PlayStation for most environmental kills now.
It's so hard to get a PotG with him, which is a damn shame because he along with Zenyatta has the best highlight intros.
I've seen couple but it is always environmental kills.
Yep. I just want my mad wall riding skills on the payload to get PotG. The amount of times I have pushed or held the payload in overtime for a win is ludicrous. No recognition at all. ):
Winston is another I struggle to get PotG with and I do very well with him. I even got the highlight intro for him and I never get to see it. ]:
