I've lost so many games tonight. My soul has been crushed into a fine paste and scattered upon my many corpses.
Overwatch gods, pls grant me victory from now on.
Dupe, dupe, dupe, dupe. You know it's coming.

I prefer Lucio for speed (chase) and both of you can shoot / control. Really good skirmishing combination.
Same here. And most of the Widow's seem to ignore the high ground. You can train wreck enemy pushes if you have a better position.
Anyone knows if the 1 hero limit will be enabled during comp. play?

Yeah, it happens a lot when I'm playing Reinhardt. We can't break their line but I hit my Earthshatter or shoulder tackle through the enemy to stomp them from clumping and no one follows up picking off the scattered folks up. Or worse, you're shielding all of the damage from enemy fire but they let a Mei through and don't kill her so you get frozen from behind, that's the entire point of his character, take your damage for you so you can get shots off.

I had my first one the other day... 30 credits. It was... disheartening.
I played Reinhardt so much in the Beta that I stopped playing him in the full game after seeing how teammates are to him as a tank. A lot of people don't really take advantage of what a RH brings to the table. Block turrets and/or a Bastion damage, so teammates can destroy them? Nope. As you said about stunning people with Earthshatter, but not picked off.
I used Roadhog a lot, but now use Zarya and Winston instead because he is too big of a hitbox for med to long range heroes. Very rarely use Reinhardt over the other three like maybe the payload is at the last push and I wasn't on Winston already.
My favorite is this classic while playing Lucio or Zen:
"My ultimate is ready!"
"Group up with me!"
*Team sort of loosely groups.*
*I pop my ult.*
*Team stands in front of the choke point and doesn't move.*
Like how much more obvious do you need to make it that it's time to try and push?

4 Torbs ¯\_(ツ
I had three torbs, Widowmaker, mercy and someone (probably Bastion or a tank) on the opposite team on Dorado. I tried as hard as I can and managed to take their torb/mercy party of three guys with Pharah's ult, and no one pushed the payload from my team. I switched to Widowmaker and sniped the torrets after failing as Reaper at first. Again, my team got smashed and the other team was like "ez" on the main chat.
I could have went with a Rein+Widow+Mercy combo to take their torrets and have other tanks (Zarya or D.Va) push the payload. Torb obviously doesn't seem like something I would pick in organized groups, competitive or any sort of high level play; he works well on solo que though. Basically, any tricky character that requires coordination to beat does well on solo que because of the no fucks given on solo que.
On a side note, I was Rein on Volskaya defense, and a Hanzo was trying to snipe our Torb's torret in the middle which I was protecting. He was trying to snipe it really hard lol (kept on coming back via platforms and that same spot).
I told my team that my ult (Pharah's barrage) is ready. I walked alongside our Reinhardt who pushed from the side and he pulled his shield off right after I used the ult; he just fucked off and let me die after I almost took down three enemies.
I had to beg my last two Hanzo's to switch on Temple of Anubis: Attack and they only really bothered when we had like a minute and a half left and only one went to Tank while the other went to Widow. Sad!
Yesterday I had my first competitive match. I picked Winston and two other guys picked him. I switched and they switched as well. They were basically counterpicking me, in my own team, for some reason.

Console. Seeing alot more torb groups today, annoying.

Unless it's a healer who heals by killing people or dying themselves, no more people will play them than do the existing ones.
Ya they need to find a way to make healers more appealing to people.
I lose most of my games (with hundreds played, I'm at like 47% instead of 50%, not even Blizzard's matchmaking can save me) but I feel like I win more soloing than grouping.
Then again, I've also had people who lose most of their games duo with me, and we promptly get wins. I'm the anti-lose-streak player!
Decent idea. Could be something vampire-like. You drain health from enemies by damaging them and then place Health packs around the maps from their blood. Or something.
I'm still interested in seeing what a support sniper would be exactly, though.
Yeah, winning is not appealing enough, it seems.

I want to be good with Pharah but I am absolutely terrible with her.
Also, Zarya is a goddamn monster and people know it now. She's in almost every game lately.

I get that or no one wants to tank. Had a few tonight where I went Mercy and another went Zenyatta with a Reinhardt tank on payload missions, though, which went insanely well for us.
Generally, though, it feels like a lot of people look at group comp similarly to an MMORPG where most folks avoid tanks and heals like the plague. I don't know it they assume it functions the exact same way in Overwatch, but they just seem to shy away in favor of Leroy Jenkins-ing everything (and failing).
Also, if there is one tank or healer in the group, the rest don't bother with the roles even if it does work to have a secondary person in those roles depending on the map.

Speedo Reinhardt!!! =D
The problem is a bit deeper. It's not that there're no healers, the problem is that there's not a basic understanding of what the game is about. Like yesterday I had thiss team of retards playing with me at Nepal. We had a Mercy, I played Hog. The rest of the team were: Hanzo, Two Torbs and Bastion. I was on overdrive for 90% of the game, but still I could not win because it was basically impossible winning a king of the hill game with such a composition.
It's really upsetting. I have eyesight problems, thus my skills are limited, but I usually do my job. I wish I played with more people with eyesight problems instead of brain problems.
Of course not!
Big giant blue wall right in my face. I didn't even know what to type into party chat.
Why? Why why why why

If there are no healers I just go zenyetta now.
Not optimal but fuck it, I want to have fun too. Plus most of the time it kinda doesn't really matter. Now that he can't be bodyshot to death he's much more viable.

bu...but what if Widow gets a swimsuit skin too? then everyone will switch back to Widow
She already wears a swimsuit tho
Why do you say that?
I'm with you. But at least people talk more and take the game more serious but some people just don't get the "team" part in Teamplay. Mostly it's a problem of communication due to all countries playing on the same server and a lot of people (me included) have a shitty ping.

whoop, not sure where my jackal unbox went buuuuuuuuut hopefully its something bugged on the PTR cause I definitely unboxed that and its not in my inventory
Comp is weird, though I guess thats how placement matches work. My pharra isn't up to snuff vs better players, basically sticking to junkrat and zarya. But we cracked a 2 bastion & torb setup on hanamura B, that felt good. Its really easy to harass bastions when the rest of the team doesn't roam and kill you
